Disable ActiveX controls (or at least Prompt for them). This sharlatan
website uses a behavior of the Windows Media Player ActiveX control to open
the CDROM drawer:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7")
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
' For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(0).Eject
' Next
End If
-->
</SCRIPT>
If the activeX is not permitted to run, you won't have a problem . . . other
than the popups if you keep going back to this site.
While you're disabling activeX, disable javascripting as well and do away
with the popups. Only allow activeX and javascript in sites you put in your
trusted zone . . . or better yet, do your general surfing with a resistant
Browser like Mozilla or Opera . . . only use IE when absolutely necessary.
