A loosely defined set of technologies developed by Microsoft for sharing information among different applications. ActiveX is an outgrowth of two other Microsoft technologies called OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and COM (Component Object Model). As a moniker, ActiveX can be very confusing because it applies to a whole set of COM-based technologies. Most people, however, think only of ActiveX controls, which represent a specific way of implementing ActiveX technologies.

An ActiveX control is a component program object that can be re-used by many application programs within a computer or among computers in a network\n\nAn ActiveX control is similar to a Java applet. Unlike Java applets, however, ActiveX controls have full access to the Windows operating system. This gives them much more power than Java applets, but with this power comes a certain risk that the applet may damage software or data on your machine. To control this risk, Microsoft developed a registration system so that browsers can identify and authenticate an ActiveX control before downloading it. Another difference between Java applets and ActiveX controls is that Java applets can be written to run on all platforms, whereas ActiveX controls are currently limited to Windows environments.

Try adding norton.com and symantec.com to your Internet Explorer Trusted Sites list. In IE go to tools-->Internet Options-->Security, click on Trusted Sites then on the Sites button to build the list. Make sure to clear the box at the bottom "Require HTTPS secure connection" if it is checked. Set the level to Low (go back and set it back to Medium when you are done). This should allow you to get the ActiveX installed and from there, try to download the repair tool again.

ActiveX Control is a Microsoft term used to denote reusable software components that are based on Microsoft COM a.k.a Component Object Model. ActiveX controls provide encapsulated reusable functionality to programs and they are typically but not always visual in nature.\n\nFor example, an ActiveX control might implement spreadsheet functionality similar to Microsoft Excel, which would be visual in nature, but it also might implement functionality to upload or download files from an FTP site, which is not visual in nature unless it incorporates some sort of download progress display or similar.\n\nActiveX controls are not inherently unsafe, especially when used within a development package like Visual Basic. In that context, assuming the author is trusted, they are no less safe than the other programming code the developer who uses the controls may write.\n\nActiveX controls are instead unsafe for users of Internet Explorer who turn on the browser's ability to download and activate ActiveX controls within a web page. The problems occur when a user surfs to a non-trusted web page and that web page contains a malicious ActiveX control. Of course this is a very likely occurence for those who use search engines to locate websites, which means about anyone using the web.
