• What is ActiveX?

  
  ActiveX is nothing more than a concept for software components by Microsoft. It was developed by combining OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and COM (the Component Object Model). ActiveX aims to be a standard for interoperable software components. This means that ActiveX components implement a standardized interface to achieve this interoperability.
  
  ActiveX is most commonly known from ActiveX controls, which are software plug-ins that are also used with the Internet Explorer. These ActiveX controls can be compared with Java components, with the limitation that ActiveX only runs on the Microsoft operating systems. ActiveX controls are a powerful way to extend the funtionality of the Internet Explorer.
  
  ActiveX files can be recognized by the .OCX file extension. In comparison, Firefox plug-ins use the .XPI file extension. There are many ActiveX controls around, the Macromedia Flash player is probably an ActiveX control that everyone is familiar with. But since anyone can create an ActiveX control, it is important to know that an ActiveX control is safe before installing it.
  
  

  How to Fix Active X Errors and Improve Your PC's Overall System Performance

  
  Many people do not realize that agreeing to the installation of ActiveX components means giving these controls almost unrestricted access to their computers. For instance, the Active X component can actually access and make changes to your Windows registry and make changes to your PC security settings, putting your PC in danger of being hacked into.
  
  In addition, installing new components does not replace old components in your registry. Instead, new ones render the previous ones simply outdated or corrupt. You can imagine that over time, your Windows registry will be so burdened with these entries that it do it's job properly and thus cause even more problems for your PC in the long run.
  
  You can try to repair the Windows registry yourself but where to begin! The registry is a very complicated directory that editing it blindly will most likely result in more PC problems.
