Abstract: Provided is a method of identifying an ActiveX control distribution site, detecting a security vulnerability in an ActiveX control and immunizing the same. A security vulnerability existing in an ActiveX control may be automatically detected, effects brought on by the corresponding security vulnerability may be measured, and abuse of the detected security vulnerability in a user PC to be protected may be immediately prevented. Therefore, since the user PC may be protected regardless of a security patch, it is anticipated that security problems in the Internet environment caused by imprudent use of the ActiveX control may be significantly enhanced.
