Yeah. I know the frustration. Gotta have to keep the buggers out, but
can't have it running or else the buggers get in.

By using the selective sites in the control panel stuff for IE, it is
possible to only allow http://*.microsoft.com and
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com to use Active-X. 

For my clients, I set up firefox and remove all desktop links and menu
links for IE. If they _insist_ on using IE, I can launch it from "run"
and check the history file as most don't know how to clear it. If the
cache space has ANYTHING in it, I know they have used IE and I get to
remind them that it costs $$$$$$$ to clean up a network if crap takes
over.

Then I bill them.
