Re: Symantec, McAfee and Panda ActiveX controls

[Cesar <cesarc56 () yahoo com>]

Also if i recall correctly Symantec's ActiveX controls
are restricted to run only Symantec web sites, but
Symantec sites are full of holes like XSS so you can
exploit ActiveX holes anyways. For those interested in
auditing ActiveX controls, take a look at my
presentation at BlackHat:

BTW: ActiveX is a dangerous technology, take a look at
the ActiveX you have installed, audit them and you
will be afraid of what you find.
