Microsoft Corp. today issued "kill bit" updates for ActiveX controls from HP and a Washington state developer, the third time it's disabled third-party add-ons in the last four months.
One security researcher linked the release to a new program Microsoft announced last week that's designed to help other vendors find and fix bugs in their own software.
