Questions and Answers
ActiveX:
Q: I switched to Mozilla Firefox. Now, when I try to update my anti-virus program, I get an error message. Why?
A: The anti-virus site probably uses an ActiveX control. These little programs facilitate interactivity between Web sites and your computer. They are also considered a security weakness, so Firefox does not accommodate them. Use Internet Explorer on any site that requires an ActiveX control. Windows Update is another example of such a site. -- Kim Komando, USA Today
Flash Player:
Q: How do I remove all copies of Flash Player? (To fix corrupted installation.)
A: Delete all copies of npswf32.dll and flashplayer.xpt from your
system.
The Flashblock extension is the way to stop annoying Flash ads.
