So my friend had his computer "hijacked" so he told me idk if its true and called microsoft and they told him that it was a new exploit and they were working on a fix it apparently screws with your active x when loading onto hijacked sites and hackers get through. Hope no one gets "hijacked" :laugh:

If any of you feel you'ye been taken over and you're a xp user and running ie8 then check this out:

* I've called them and they verified that it only obtains to Windows XP and Server 2003.
 
Fix installed.. thx for the tip
 
That "fix" just disables the feature. I need a Microsoft Update, update. XD
 
I think that Firefox is far better fix anyway :D
