Coretrace announces Bouncer 5.0

here is the announcement from coretrace.  They seem to have added support for whitelisting of activeX.  It is great to see vendors in this space begining to worry about things other than pure binaries. Just FYI Solidcore (McAfee AWL) has had support for this for some time.  The tough issue here is a lot of download/upload clients in the browser are done via ActiveX. So you have an ActiveX component that is signed, it downloads a driver update, should the driver be allowed to run?
