Security Question

Post by Espn »

This question may be better posted in online gaming but I hope those of you will forgive me. I would like to attempt to play World War 2 Online (I know its full of bugs). Playnet is suggesting the following active X controls be changed. My questions is if I make the changes does this pose any security issues? Thank you in advance.

This is a 2 pronged question. The answer, yes and no. In all honesty, as long as it will work with unsigned controls disabled and activex and plugins enabled and prompt or enabled safe signed active x, you should be safe.
Of course any where we go anymore out on the net, is a risk in itself. Use your best judgement and practice safe guards, you'll be fine. :)
