I just read that IE5 has a design flaw that makes your PC vulnerable to hackers.

How do you disable the ActiveX feature?

I think you're talking about this. An article was written by Scott awhile back. Microsoft also has a patch for that too. Here's the url:

If that's not it, let me know.

Wow, that's a pretty big security problem. I wasn't aware of any other problem than the one that was written about here. Fortunately for me, I use Netscape 4.61, instead of Microshaft IE. So that being the case, I couldn't tell you how to disable anything in there. Someone else might be an avid IE user, that might be interested in this too.

Sorry I couldn't help ya. /forum/frown.gif
