Online course site requires wide-open security settings

My neighbor is taking some courses and has some kind of online modules to do at www.myitlab.com (which redirects to Pearson Education for the actual module content).

He tries to open the module and it won't run because it requires ActiveX to be enabled. And I mean enabled as in "wide open". I tried just enabling trusted or signed ActiveX content or changing the settings to "prompt", adding the domain/site to the trusted sites list (along with enabling 'only allow ActiveX controls from trusted sites').

Nope, I had to change every single setting to "enable" including unsigned scripts. Internet Explorer 8 keeps warning about how f-ing insecure the settings are and nags you to change them, but its the only way the module will run.

Unbelievable.
