Ghostrider 7 Posted April 11, 2009 ID:72460 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yahoo wants to run the following ActiveX control. What is it?This wesite wants to run the following add-on: 'TODO - <file description>'from TODO: <company name> (unverified publisher)'. If you trust the website and the add-on andwant it to run, click here...I just had my pc recovered from a rootkit attack with the help of AdvancedSetup & I wonder aboutsome of these add-ons that don't show who they are. In the meantime, I'll continue to clcik on the "X" to close the add-on pop-up.Thanks!NhiTX Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac Posted April 11, 2009 ID:72462 Share Posted April 11, 2009 At this question I will quote TMacK (moderator of bleepingcomputer):It's an IE activex add-on and you don't really have to add it.To prevent it from popping-up all the time, go ahead and run it, then disabled it on IE/Manage Add-ons.Since it's not recommended to add 'unverified' activex add-ons, quickly disable it or simply ignore it.
