I found that MSN Messenger 7.0.0425, using Activities & Games (like File Sharing), will not ask for download and install ActiveX control... It just download and install automatically... without any warning or confirming... I think MSN Messenger 6 had it... If I use a 3rd party Activities & Games, to invitate anyone, and he accept, then I can install any control to his computer? I can use the normal MSN games name and html page (with an extra control), then others just think he is playing a normal MSN game... without knowning the hidden control just installed...

The other person also have to have the references to the third party games, i believe.

Ok... understand... But why Microsoft have the right to skip the "should have" security warning? Microsoft can silently install other ones with other ways? I think that any installation should ask for user's confirmation. I can't reject those ActiveX games and just accept jscript or flash ones. And then if I use games.mess.be, then they can install any control in my computer too.
