"Active X" Is there more than one type?

[Whoson1st]

I could be wrong; but thought that I did a download for Active X sometime ago. Now today I'm looking at a website and it says; that you don't have Active X, would you like to download? Probably I'll be branded a real olldie for sure, but does "Active X" come in more than one flavor?
Thanks

Is "Java" an Active X program?

I got a message on desktop that there was an upgrade to Java. Downloaded it; but Spybot came on and asked me if wanted to change my registry and allow it?

What a name for a good program..."ACTIVE X". Conjures up bad images.

I don't think a name is not so important

I've always disallowed it from being installed for that reason. I'm scared it'll give me a virus. You sayin it's safe to install?

To see the Live video of horse races on YouBet.com; it asks you do you want to allow Active X? (IE 7 is what I'm using , but it was the same for IE 6). I mean to watch the races you must allow it --so maybe there are many types of Active X?
