The pop-up is because Iam using a free server to host my site. So its the
free server and not me that is responsible for the pop-up.

I posted a message about this control is because, I wanted to show how easy
it is to create activex controls which could access files on your system.
All Iam doing here is just reading a file on the system, but other malicious
controls could delete files (or worse system files) just as easily. And as
Mark already mentions in a previous mail, which is what I wanted to
convey.....exercise caution when running anything from the net from an
untrusted source. Being digitally signed from someone you don't know doesn't
mean its someone you should trust and just because it comes over this list
implies no gurantee of safety.
