 | | These malware attacks mostly depend on ActiveX for their activation and propagation to other computers. | | | The embedding of COM into the Internet Explorer web browser (under the name of ActiveX) created a combination of problems that has led to an explosion of computer virus, trojan and spyware infections. | | | Later, in early 1996, Microsoft renamed some parts of OLE relating to the Internet ActiveX, and gradually renamed all OLE technologies to ActiveX, except the compound document technology that was used in Microsoft Office. |

| | Security Tradeoffs: Java vs. ActiveX |
| | ActiveX programs come with digital signatures from the author of the program and anybody else who chooses to endorse the program. | | | Java and ActiveX are two systems that let people attach computer programs to Web pages. | | | With ActiveX, this problem is made worse if you click the box which accepts all programs signed by the same person (for example, if you accept anything signed by Microsoft). |

| | ActiveX - a Whatis.com definition |
| | ActiveX is the name Microsoft has given to a set of "strategic" object-oriented programming technologies and tools. | | | The main thing that you create when writing a program to run in the ActiveX environment is a component, a self-sufficient program that can be run anywhere in your ActiveX network (currently a network consisting of Windows and Macintosh systems). | | | If you have a Windows operating system on your personal computer, you may notice a number of Windows files with the "OCX" file name suffix. |

| | Introduction to ActiveX Controls (Internet Explorer - ActiveX Controls) |
| | ActiveX Controls have become the primary architecture for developing programmable software components for use in a variety of different containers, ranging from software development tools to end-user productivity tools. | | | Several OLE creation and loading helper functions (for example, OleLoad and CoCreateInstance) explicitly call IClassFactory and not IClassFactory2, and therefore cannot be used to create or load licensed ActiveX Controls. | | | In previous versions of this document, component categories were loosely referred to as "function groups" and were used to identify areas of functionality that a container can optionally support. |

| | ActiveX defines a way to mark controls that take data from their environment, in an attempt to prevent trusted controls from being exploited by untrusted code. | | | In current implementations of ActiveX, the version number in the HTML is not checked against the actual version. | | | The types of attack that are possible are limited only by what the user's computer can do. |
