Which of the following actions should be taken so that the computer requires confirmation before
installing an ActiveX component?
A.
Configuring a firewall on the network
B.
Configuring the settings on the Web Browser
C.
Installing an anti-virus software
D.
Configuring DMZ on the network
Explanation:
Configuring the settings on the Web browser will enable a computer to ask for confirmation before
installing an ActiveX component. This will enable users to prevent the download of potentially
unsafe controls onto the computer.
ActiveX controls are software components that can be integrated into Web pages and applications,
within a computer or among computers in a network, to reuse the functionality. Reusability of
controls reduces development time of applications and improves program interfaces.
They enhance the Web pages with formatting features and animation. ActiveX controls can be used
in applications written in different programming languages that recognize Microsoft’s Component
Object Model (COM). These controls always run in a container. ActiveX controls simplify and
automate the authoring tasks, display data, and add functionality to Web pages.Answer A and D are incorrect. Configuring a firewall or DMZ will not help in accomplishing the task.
