Microsoft's ActiveX Too Active? Misc.5/2/2000; 11:14:29 PM Feb 23, 2000: Microsoft says it will fix its ActiveX installation program after a Spanish Web developer discovered that it modifies users' computers without asking for their permission."Why do so many companies think that as soon as you run their installation program, they can do anything they want to your computer? Why does Real Player install 7 icons and take over the treatment of 10-15 file types, without ever asking? Does this violate any concievable rights we may have?
