I desperately need help! I have a lot of ActiveX programs on my computer. How can I get rid of them? There are a lot of .ocx files if i do a search and all of them are ActiveX controls. Do I need ActiveX to run other programs on my computer or is it ok to delete them all? I run spybouncer and it gives me over 200 ActiveX related programs. I run Spybot S&D and nothing shows up, it says there are no immediate threats. AdAware isnt finding much. I dont know what is ok to get rid of and what isnt. PLEASE HELP! email me ferriswheel5684@juno.com and i'll try to check back here too.

Some ActiveX components are ESSENTIAL to the operating system and some are downloadable and usable on the web eg Flash, Shockwave, Java etc. to use with IE.
DO NOT delete files willy nilly as you may end up with a broken system. Leave them alone!
