Re: Active X

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



>From looking at an old post, I am starting to realize that choosing disable,
which I figured lessens my security, does just the opposite, tightens our
security! We just tried setting them all to enable, and things seem better,
Can someone tell me what the 5 settings about Active X really should be set
to?

Thanks!
Dean
