Since my version of XP has all of the latest patches, it promptly
issued a security warning that the website was trying to install a
piece of Malware called like "Component Publisher"

Tumbleweed Desktop Validator reports:

Certificate Revocation Status

XP Help states:

"You should be cautious about installing ActiveX controls on your
computer, even if they have a valid digital signature..."


In this case, the choice is easy: a revoked certificate.
