To enable ActiveX protection, select the Prevent all ActiveX from running
check box. ActiveX protection prevents the users’ web browsers from
running ActiveX web applications. Some web sites may use ActiveX to
install unwanted software on computers. However, there are also web
pages which the users cannot view without ActiveX.
ActiveX protection can be enabled only when System Control is enabled.

System Control Server Queries (DeepGuard 2.0)
Select Use server queries to improve detection accuracy to check with
F-Secure servers when System Control detects an unknown application.
We recommend that you enable server queries for two reasons:
a computer with server queries enabled has a higher level of
protection. There is less time between discovery of a new
security threat and protection from that threat.
a computer with server queries enabled generates noticeably
fewer dialogs asking if an unknown process should be allowed to
run or not. The user has less chance of making a decision that
could compromise the security of their computer. The user is also
disturbed from their work less.
What should I know about server queries?
Server queries require access to the Internet to work. If your network
allows access only through an HTTP proxy, set the Automatic Updates
Agent HTTP proxy setting to your proxy server's address to make sure
server queries work. To set the Automatic Updates Agent HTTP proxy
see “Automatic Updates” on page 71.

Configuring Rootkit Scanning (Blacklight)
Rootkit scanning can be used to scan for files and drives hidden by
rootkits. Rootkits are typically used to hide malicious software, such as
spyware, from users, system tools and traditional antivirus scanners. The
items hidden by rootkits are often infected with viruses, worms or trojans.
