Microsoft recommend disabling ActiveX unless you have XP with service pack 2. Installing SP2 changes the ActiveX settings to disable the 90% of ActiveX controls intended for use on intranets that are not safe to use on the internet. Changing those settings will open up hundreds of security holes.
@felgallJun 20.2006 — #You should be worried about security. Turning down the security options on your computer increases the chances of it being used to lauch attacks on our computers so you have implacted everyone else's security at the same time. The only time you don't need to worry about security is if your computer is either not connected to the internet or is part of an intranet where there is an interface that takes care of the security for you.

[*]You need to download a variety of malware for research purposes.
[*]You're running OS1.
[*]You took a backup five seconds ago and you really don't mind running a full system recovery.
