The Hun,
I've tried compressing the .avi as mpeg but the results where very poor. 32MB file

and quality was terrible. I think that the avi is the best way to go. Heck I'm more than happy to burn some BW for this cause, anyone can get the 12MB avi at
http://www.tgpdb.com/popup_demo.avi if the BW gets out of hand I might have to remove it though

I can also make a smaller one if need be.
[edit]
The above .avi file is just some documentation that I created for The Hun. It just shows what I was experiencing when I visited thehun.net. It's not very exciting though

BigDaddy,
ZoneAlarm is great (http://www.zonealarm.com/) and I highly recommend it, but as long as zonealarm is configured to allow IE access to the net, the ActiveX' can be downloaded. Make sure that your IE security settings are at least at Medium. Then be very careful of what "signed" activeX' you download. Zone alarm will detect some adware once it's installed though.
