HTTP: KingView KChartXY.ocx Unsafe ActiveX Control

This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in the KingView. An attacker can create a malicious Web site containing Web pages with dangerous ActiveX controls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the client application.

Extended Description
