By default, Internet Explorer 10 have add-ons enabled. Add-ons, also known as ActiveX controls, browser extensions, browser helper objects or toolbars, can improve your experience on a website by enabling content such as high-quality animations.

However, some add-ons can also malfunction or display content that you don’t want, such as pop-up ads. When an add-on, such as a toolbar, is installed on your computer, it becomes part of your browser and operating system.

In some cases these programs might contain spyware. In the worst case, a malfunctioning add-on might affect the performance of your computer or cause problems accessing the Internet.
