I think what was actually meant was that ActiveX is trojan prone (often
mistaken as virus), and that it is - it's dead easy to write an ActiveX
trojan, then get a user to download it, and theres no way to know what it
does until it's downloaded. However, trojan horse problems are not an issue
within an App, as the author would use activex controls that do what they
need them to do, not downloading an unknown one off the internet.
