facebook slowing down
What are the risks of installing Active X Control to load pictures onto Facebook?
I’m wondering this because loading 127 pictures in intervals of 5 with the simple uploader will take all day. Has anybody gotten a virus or noticed their computer slowing down after they installed Active X for the quick uploader? What is Active X and is it harmful to computers?
ActiveX is a browser component that lets the web browser execute programs and manipulate data on your computer.
When you install an ActiveX object, there is usually a signature (e.g Signed by Microsoft.Inc) that tells you which company made it.
If you see that the component is made by a company other than Microsoft or a major corp, you should probably not install it.
Slow down!!!
