MS ActiveX downloads marked as Unknown

I find it strange that a number of legitimate Microsoft ActiveX Programs
listed under Advanced Tools | System Explorers | Applications | Downloaded
ActiveX are marked as "This is an unknown ActiveX". On my system these
include:-
iuengine.dll (Microsoft Windows Update Control Engine)
webcleaner.dll (Malware Cleaner ActiveX Control)
msnchat45.ocx (MSN Chat Control)

One would think that once the Microsoft published "Unknown" ActiveX has been
sent to SpyNet for analysis, it would soon become "Known" and hence would
attain the "Safe" icon. That seems not to be the case for some reason.

I believe this will happen, but not until there has been a definition
update. we've been on 5680 for awhile now, but I can't predict when they
might issue another set of definitions.
