Re: Acer puts Active X hole on laptops

There is a link to this article in Morning Broadband Bytes: »www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx···le=36773
I know two or three people who have Acer laptops. Would it be safe for me to recommend that they delete that ActiveX control? And would that be accomplished by finding and deleting a file named "LunchApp.APlunch"?

Thanks!
According to the article it says " Those who have disabled ActiveX when they upgraded to IE7 can rest easy." So my question is have any of the people you know done this to their Acer laptops.
