FOr those who don't know Active X is one of the major reasons of virus contributation. Basicly it downloads and installs programs on your computer. Now by asking for NOSTALE ACTIVE X Dl some one might post a virus and you would install it because its not that hard to rename a file to NostaleActivex.

This is of course if 4 major criterias are followed:
1) The virus has the correct name, meaning that the hacker downloaded the real activeX.
2) The virus has the same size as the Nostale one.
3) The person that downloads it completely refuses to use any sort of anti-virus programs on a file given by a total stranger.
And finally, and most importantly:
4) Someone actually takes the time to design something that follows the initial 2 criterias, just because 10 people from OnRPG might get infected by a SexToolbar.
