Well, activex control isn't anything more than software similiar to a java applet. Look at this website:

Since it's not a necessary program, you should be able to remove it without risk. I am not a proffestinal on the subject though so doing a little more research before removing a vital program could help. But an easy way to tell how important the program is is to read waht it says when you click on it in the add/remove programs section of the control panel. If it says the program is used often, you may not want to remove it. If it says it is used occasionally or rarely, it's unimportant.
