More on the ActiveX behaviour change

Driving into work this morning (yes, I usually take the bus, but when there's no space at the Park & Ride, it becomes a No Park & No Ride), I had a realisation about the ActiveX behaviour change that's coming up.

Maybe it's been brought about as a result of a patent lawsuit, but think on this... maybe it has a beneficial effect on security!

If it takes one more click to actually interact with an ActiveX popup or an advert than it does to close it with the big red X in the top right-hand corner, users will gravitate to that easier option.
