Hi- I'm getting activex issues in registry scan software.

I just erase them and log on, but sometimes sprint software

has to load several times before working.

should I erase activex issues from registry scan? I am told firefox does does not use activex.

And should I install Adobe flash player with activex?

also if you know, is DDE cache OK in registry? thanks

Firefox does not use ActiveX, that is an Internet Explorer plugin system. If you do not use Internet Explorer or an IE based browser, there is no need to install the ActiveX version of Flash Player.

I am not a big fan of registry cleaners, though most of the time they can do a good job of removing redundant entries, they may delete a key in the registry that is used and that can cause problems.
