Hello, I have credit with you of $4.00, DKZ447@aol.com, I need HELP. Like I have tried to ask before:
I have Mavis Beacon Teaches Office . I need a mciwndx.ocx file to run this application. Broderbund Co. is trying to sell me the file for $9.99 and I cannot see that to be a fair choice after buying their product. Is there anyone out there that can send me the file for free. This file is used to run many applications so I understand, but what applications is run by this particlar file??? I can't seem to find out...I search and search....I would like to know if I can get it sent to me for free????

Software that uses it: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x
Microsoft Visual Studio 6 Enterprise
Microsoft Visual Studio 6 Professional

Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in a Microsoft ActiveX plugin called MCIWNDX.OCX, which possibly allows malicious HTML documents to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

The problem is that a property called "Filename" isn't properly verified allowing malicious websites or HTML emails to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long string. This could potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the system.

This plugin is part of Visual Studio version 6. However, since the plugin is digitally signed by Microsoft, it may be silently installed through Internet Explorer by any website.

Solution:
Remove the ActiveX plugin if it is installed.

Configure Internet Explorer to prompt before accepting or executing any ActiveX plugins or block the ActiveX plugin using your proxy server.

Hope this helps, if so please accept.

Reply to Firsthogman's Post: I asked for someone to send me the file mciwndx.ocx for free. That is what I need to run this program of Mavis Beacon. I reset, restarted and restarted 25 times changing these settings.
I requested the file from someone who has it. Like I said, they are selling it so they said you can get it from someone else who has it.
That is where I stand with it right now...........I need the file mciwndx.ocx.
Thanks

Reply to Bethany's Post: I have been there already......I don't want to pay for the mciwndx.ocx file. That will be my LAST resort. If someone has the file and would be willing to share it, I was told you can do so. I have invested enough in this problem of trying to run Mavis Beacon Teaches Office. I am asking for someone to share the file with me.
If you cannot find someone,.....forget it.
Never mind.
Sorry to entertain you with my problem.

    Reply to Firsthogman's Post: Yes, yes, yes the free download is what I needed.
    I have asked over and over for it.
    I put Mavis Beacon Teaches on the desktop shortcut and it runs the same time when I try to sign on to AOL. They are in the Task Manager battling it out. (I have a new Dell and Windows XP).
    Also, the computer starts up and the lights blink on the cd drive and takes forever to start up. It's all because of this Mavis Beacon Teaches cd. Something is goofy with it. I now have assorted problems. Yikes!!!
    Anyway, thank you for the MCIWndx.ocx file.
    You are worth a million bucks. Thank you again, Debbie
