I Norton 'Ghost'ed my C:\ boot drive onto a drive on my 2nd hd, on the 15th, (a couple of days ago), after putting it off for WEEEEeeeeeks, and earlier on tonight I was having a rummage around the web and went to
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083630/
and clicked on the "view trailer" link and stupidly? "permitted" several ActiveX controls ....and added imdb.com into IE6's trusted sites zone and into the "Web Content" list in my Norton firewall and allowed scripting and almost everything else so that I could see the movie trailer. I then got onto some other site ...videodetective.com I think it was.

It's a pathetic movie. Only good thing about it was Tanya Roberts - and certainly not her acting. Why did you feel compelled to post this drivel, btw, and to three newsgroups? If in fact the problem was created by you yourself in allowing all those Active X installs, you want to tell everyone about how you can't practice safe hex? Active X isn't needed to see the trailer anyway.
