Internet Explorer and YouTube videos

The security concept of the internet explorer is a mystery. The browser will give you an ActiveX warning when you embed YouTube videos into the page. The only way to solve the problem is to allow ActiveX controls on the page OR to trust the page. But this allows much more than playing the YouTube video. It will enable the page to inject every ActiveX control that it would like to inject. These controls are running directly on your computer and they have the same rights as the user that is running the internet explorer. We got around the problem by making an image of the YouTube video that is acting as a link to YouTube now. This example shows that the security concept does not enhance security. Therefore we can not recommend to use the Internet Explorer for browsing. Please use open source software like Mozilla FireFox for browsing.
