Hey folks,
Having read about this "security hole".. I decided to try it out myself.
It did work... with the warnings.. but I also noticed that in MSIE3.0,
there is an option to Enable the running of ActiveX scripts and
another option to Enable ActiveX controls and plig-ins. If someone
feels that ActiveX is not secure, I strongly advise them to disable these
options. It can be prevented.
Best regards,
