Great download.

Probably the single best download ever from Microsoft.

Well I must say it did a great job detecing unknown ActiveX controls. Look in the details, for what the ActiveX Control is and who it's from. haha.

Needless to say, I blocked it and sent that report to SpyNet, just for kicks.
