SUMMARY
Internet Explorer version 3.0 for Macintosh includes native support for
ActiveX. To access ActiveX content using Internet Explorer 3.0, you do not
need to use the ActiveX plug-in that is included with Internet Explorer.
MORE INFORMATION
When you install Internet Explorer 3.0, an ActiveX plug-in is copied to
the "Microsoft Internet Applications:Internet Explorer 3.0 Folder:ActiveX
Plugin" folder. This ActiveX plug-in is not required to access ActiveX
content using Internet Explorer 3.0. It should only be used if you are
using a previous version of Internet Explorer for Macintosh, or if you are
using a third-party Internet browser that supports plug-ins, but does not
include native support for ActiveX.
NOTE: Unlike Java programs, the integrity of ActiveX content is not
verified in Internet Explorer 3.0. Therefore, you should only access
ActiveX content that you are sure is not harmful.
