I have allowed some websites to either install or run ActiveX control on my computer. I do not remember the websites to whom I have given permission. Now I need to know how to locate and uninstall ActiveX control from my computer.

(1) Get you self a good antivirus or a free one .
(2) If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot do that now .Update it
and then run it so it gets rid of all the spyware and trojans
(3a) Do an online virus scan to check if you still have any other viruses in your
computer. And let us know if the online virus scan still finds any virus or
spyware .
(4) Download hijackthis

You don't want to uninstall Active X. Active X is required to view many websites and certain scripting language. This isn't a malicious program, it helps your browser communicate with some websites that require this plug-in.
The article below helps you understand Active X

Go to Tools, Int,Options, Security, Custom, ActiveX
You probably set website for Track Cookies, That is on Tools, Options, Privacy and Edit, then allow or disallow

Don't remove your ActiveX. It is required by some sites. ActiveX is a tchnology patented by microsoft which allows the user to use Online Virus scanners through using internet Explorer. Its not that bad.

In Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer:
Tools> Managed Add-Ons > Enabled or Disable Add-Ons.
Good luck!
