    im new to ActiveX controls. In fact, I just wrote my first ActiveX control using the MFC ActiveX control wizard. It works fine, but when I embed it in a web page, IE gives me a security dialog saying This page provides potentially unsafe information to an ActiveX control. Your current security settings prohibit running controls in this manner. As a result, this page may not display correctly. Changing IE's security level worked, but there must be a better way. How can I make my ActiveX control more trustworthy? As far as I know, I could sign it, but certificates aren't free. What are my choices? What are the tools?

      You should mark your ActiveX component as safe for initialisation and scripting. Since ActiveX can do anything thus , microsoft has made it necessary the safe initialisation of ocx controls. So, make some code level changes in update Registry to doo this.
