   Given that ActiveX controls have essentially 100% access to a
machine, shooting them down is a perfectly reasonable choice. Then
again, I don't go running every .exe mentioned online either. Paranoia
is justified when so many *are* out to hack systems. When MS finally
pulls in a reasonable security policy (VMS had a great one, and WinNT
is just V+1, M+1, S+1 with the same lead architect), it might be
possible to sandbox foreign stuff.
