ActiveX Control Trouble

by skyward internet . Updated 25 years, 8 months ago

Hello,

I recently downloaded and installed an MP3 encoder to try. It seems to have put an ActiveX control on my machine that it my security settings do not like. On my desktop (which is set to active desktop) and on many web pages I get a box pops up that tells me that the page provides information to an unsafe ActiveX control, and my current security settings will not permit this. Therefore the page may not display properly. I click OK and then the page never finishes downloading. Any clues how I can seek out the bad ActiveX control and rid myself of it’s grip? I’ve uninstalled the program which placed it on my machine, but the ActiveX control remained.

Thanks,
DRH
