*The default setting enables ActiveX controls. ActiveX controls have unlimited power, and can be placed on web pages. This means that as soon as you open a web page, the ActiveX control can start running locally on your computer. For security and to avoid malicious applications, ReadyGo recommends disabling ActiveX controls. ReadyGo Web Course Builder does not require ActiveX controls.
