Lots of things have security issues.. Apache, sendmail, Mac OSX to name a few. Its still the user that causes the problems in virtually all cases.
You do know that IE won't even run an activeX control unless you tell it to? (Back to that user problem again!)
Of course. But it wasn't me who claimed that only ActiveX controls from untrustworthy places were a problem. I was simply pointing out that your statement was very naive (and wrong).
If you don't want to run programs why have a computer? Why do you trust the ones you use now?
Because I wrote most of them myself.
So you have tested them and all the runtime libraries and know they are all safe?
