can use ActiveX to delete files or compromise security. Select the ActiveX check box to block
ActiveX controls.
• Java
Java is used to download and run small programs, called applets, on Web sites. It is safer than
ActiveX since it has built-in security mechanisms. Select the Java check box to block Java
applets from the network.
