I have added a spyware killer program.I have problems viewing Yahoo mail; my computer indicates that I have no activeX controls. How do I correct?
You can download the controls at:

The following is insutructions on how to activate the controls.
Activating ActiveX Controls
Users cannot directly interact with Microsoft ActiveX controls loaded by the APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements. Users can interact with such controls after activating their user interfaces. This topic describes how Microsoft Internet Explorer handles ActiveX controls, shows how to load ActiveX controls so their interfaces are activated, and describes the impact of this behavior on accessibility tools and applications hosting the WebBrowser Control.
Understanding Control Activation
Interactive controls are ActiveX controls that provide user interfaces. When a web page uses the APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements to load an ActiveX control, the control's user interface is blocked until the user activates it. If a page uses these elements to load multiple controls, each interactive control must be individually activated.
When a control is inactive, the following effects occur.
Dynamic HTML (DHTML) events related to user interaction, such as onblur and onclick, are blocked. Appendix A lists the DHTML events that are blocked when a control is inactive.
The control does not respond to window messages generated by the keyboard or mouse, such as WM_CLICK and WM_KEYPRESS, and so on.
An overlay window, created on the control's OLE site, prevents keyboard and mouse messages from reaching the inactive control.
When an inactive control is created, Internet Explorer uses different techniques to prevent keyboard or mouse window messages from reaching the control. When the inactive control is a windowed control, such as the HTML Help Control, Internet Explorer uses the EnableWindow Function to disable the inactive control's window. When the user activates a windowed control, the same function activates the disabled window. When the inactive control is a windowless control, such as the Office Web Components, keyboard and mouse messages are filtered by the control's container.
When a control is inactive, it does not respond to user input; however, it does perform operations that do not involve interaction. If, for example, you open a web page that uses Microsoft Windows Media Player to play a music file, the music plays after the page loads. You cannot interact with Windows Media Player until the control's user interface is activated.
Note While inactive controls do not respond to direct user interaction; they do respond to script commands.
To activate an interactive control, either click it or use the TAB key to set focus on it and then press the SPACEBAR or the ENTER key. Interactive controls loaded from external script files immediately respond to user interaction and do not need to be activated.
Some windowed controls use Windows API functions, such as GetKeyState and GetCursorPos, to determine the state of the keyboard and mouse and then respond to the function results. For these controls only, a prompt appears before the control is run in Internet Explorer. To run the control, the user needs to click the button in the message window before the page loads. After loading, the control will not require activation. At present, the following controls have this behavior, but the vendors are working on new controls that would not have this behavior.
Virtools (TM) Web Player from Virtools SA
Macromedia Shockwave Player (TM) from Adobe Systems Inc.
QuickTime (TM) from Apple Computer, Inc.
When loaded from external script files, these controls do not display a prompt.
