how does this work.... [ie security prob?]

quiksheild's site used to have some code on it that would automatically start the installer for their program. the code was:
this would automatically start the program in IE. i tried putting this code on a page on my own site and replacing the file with another file, and internet explorer gave me a security notice. how does this program get executed without showing any security notices? btw, an archive of the page containing that code can be found at the address below.

Do you have something with the coclass {8EF27A70-DD04-11D6-B7F6-00A0C9CD5F8A} installed? That's the first place to look. All that
<object>does is run an AX control, if it's installed. If not, it will prompt you to install it (the bits are downloaded from the URL in thecodebaseattribute). It shouldn't do anything automatically if you don't already have that control installed, and your IE settings are at the defaults (and the page isn't exploiting a bug to bypass the prompt).--Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!

IE7 prompts to install the binary.
