.... and while I'm at it, sometimes when I visit a site I get a prompt
that says "Would you like software such as Active-X controls to run?"

How am I supposed to answer the question? It's either YES or NO, but
the prompt gives me no indication of =what= software is being proposed
to run, =who= is asking, and what it will =do=. This stuff runs on MY
COMPUTER, where I have lots of important stuff. I would treat the
question the same way I would treat the plumber who asks "would you like
me to look around at stuff like your sink drains and file cabinets?"
