Any comments or opins or advice on this ActiveX deal?
(As a side note, there are several sites I subscribe to that send me financial email info updates that don't have the "pics/graphics" allowed, show red Xs, until I simply click on the header in my outlookExpress that prompts me to do so IF I wanna see the pics/graphics and allow the tracking cookies, etc.)

Q1: You can add site you are confidient about to your trusted zone:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Sites
Type in something like:
https://*.amazon.com
(note the https indicates a secure connection)
Here's some background:

Q2: Some spam sites were using the downloading of images to detect that their spam was received and there was a lot more network traffic downloading all the images so Outlook, Outlook Express and other mail programs don't download the images by default. I think there is an option to download them in Tools -> Settings but I don't recommend it.
