Microsoft warns of ActiveX attacks

Active-X has been a security for years and yet it is still in use and holes are not fixed, exploits are monitored. Having the user make the decision to allow or not allow is not a good decision. Active-X should be banned, as it appears it can't be made secure, or should be disabled by default. Another reason to switch to a more secure OS.
