Whoa, considering that ActiveX controls are an active part of what most teenagers and young adults do on the internet in America (not to mention virtually all online banking and shopping), maybe America should come out with the same advisories. But that will never happen. You know why? Microsoft Lobbyists.
Obviously I must be missing out on something, because apparently ActiveX is imortant. The only use I can think of for an ActiveX control is malware distribution.
