No, ActiveX Controls are signed by the maker of the control. That's so you

can be assured of the identity of the people who distribute the control.

Content developers and individual web pages don't do anything with identity

certicates.


(They might have seen various messages, so it's hard to say what the

message really means. I suspect it may be showing them a message at any

ActiveX Content, or it might be that the digital certificates in those

browsers have expired... those are the two most frequent things people seem

to see.)
