"What are ActiveX and Java Applets? Do these need to be cleaned?"
ActiveX and Java Applets are executable program code which gets left
behind on your computer when you are browsing the web. These are downloaded to your pc
when you visit certain websites, most often without you even knowing that these have
been downloaded, and as with any other executable program code, they can
be used in inappropriate ways. This may certainly be one of the most important
cleanups, and this option of Complete Cleanup will safely find
and remove all these code snipplets, while not affecting your normal web browsing.
Executable program code is also the main culprit for computer viruses, and keeping
these files safely cleaned out is strongly recommended.
