I want to design my own security model using the webbrowser control. The 4
zones in IE security are just not enough to get granular with different
security restrictions for each URL.

Is there a way to hook into and override the different actions that download
and initiate/install ActiveX controls in the webbrowser control? How about
for vbscript, javascript, Java applets, file downloads, etc, ?

Basically I want to handle the security for each event myself using the
webbrowser control.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
