    Hi,

    Does anyone have an experience with signing ActiveX and BHO's for IE?

    I've developed an add-on for IE, which consists of a BHO and an
    ActiveX.

    Since unsigned ActiveX add-ons result in constant security alert and
    requires lowering the browser's security to "low" - I'd like to sign it
    with a Verisign Certificate.

    The add-on is built over 2 .dll's and an Exe.

    I signed them all and verified.

    I closed IE and stopped the .exe process, replaced the old files with
    the new signed files, and rebooted.

    Now, everything stays the same - I'm still getting the security message
    everytime the ActiveX needs to load.

    Would be happy to hear suggestions, comments etc.
