I am testing on our "Lab" Firepass a setting I found in Device Management / Configuration / Client Update.

Disable the downloading and installation of ActiveX controls

 

Use the option Disable top level ActiveX controls update to prevent the FirePass controller from updating ActiveX® components on the client PC. This feature is useful when one of the following conditions is met:

 

 

You want to support previous versions of the ActiveX client component and do not want to download a newer version of the ActiveX control.

 

 

You cannot update the ActiveX components on the client PC because the end user has limited rights on his client PC.
