I do not know the gut details of IE and ActiveX. What does
"security level high" mean in IE? (That is not a rhetorical
question. :) If it means the code must be signed and its
signature is checked, so what? After all, even malicious code
can be signed, tested code have a latent trojan horse, and
responsible parties outside of easy jurisdictional reach.
