Okay, I hope someone can help me here.

I've seen all the arguements for why ActiveX should not be allowed into 
our corperate network via the Internet.

Can someone tell me if there's any good reasons why we should not allow
ActiveX on our Web server to be served to visiting web browsing clients?
If the ActiveX component that we serve to clients, considered a security 
risk for our internel network / web server?

Any input would be really appreciated.
