Hi Andres!!

Well ,i don't have any knowledge about softwares of MS installed
through activex.Only when you update your computer ,windows updates
are downloded and installed through ActiveX.

If you want to show your customer the dangers of executing activex
then goto 2020search.com ,it is a known toolbar,it is termed as adware
and at the time of installtion of this toolbar as activex it will also
give u so many popups and through those popups it will prompt u to
install other third party applications.

This will show him dangers of activex.

I hope this helps.

regards,
Pavan Shah.

Hi, I need to explain a customer the dangers of executing ActiveX with no
restrictions and I would like to use some Activex shipped with Windows,
Office or any other shipped with a MS popular product....

I would like to use it and show some "showy" actions being executed in the
system...directory listings, shares, ips, command execution??

Anyone knows which control may I use?
