ActiveX

I tried to do a few online virus scans but I got back messages that could
not download necessary ActiveX files what can be the cause?
Sol

This is likely due to a recent security update from Windows Update, which disbaled
the installation of ActiveX controls through Internet Explorer =
MS06-013: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=912812

quote
After you apply this security update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 in
Microsoft Windows 98, in Microsoft Windows 98 SE, or in Microsoft Windows Millennium
Edition, you may be unable to install new ActiveX controls from Internet Explorer.
Microsoft plans to address the issue in the next Internet Explorer Cumulative
Update. Until that time, customers may install the ActiveX control from a separate
installation source that does not use Internet Explorer.

Whether or not there will actually be another cumulative update for IE6 SP1 for
Win98/98SE/ME, I do not know. Try Xenomorph's "fix" here to temporarily disable the
update while installing the ActiveX controls:
http://xenomorph.net/misc/legacy.php
AFAIK, you will have to reinstall the update to close the security hole after
installing the ActiveX controls in question.

Note: It appears that if you uninstall MS06-013: Cumulative security update for
Internet Explorer (KB912812), when you go to WU to reinstall it, instead you will be
shown the current update, which supersedes it:
MS06-021: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=916281

You don't have to uninstall the older update to get the new update. 912812 happened in April and 916281 replaced it in June. (According to my WU installation history.)

I didn't state anything about having to uninstall the one to install the other. My
post refers to uninstalling the first (which is apparently what Xenomorph's "fix"
is) in order to install the ActiveX control from the site that he wants; then
reinstalling the update, but since the update has been superseded, when one tries to
go get it again via WU, it won't be given.....916281 will be offered instead.
Capiche?
