Most ActiveX Controls ask before they actually install (or atleast i have mine set up that way), so someone would hafta actually tell it to install that thing and if they did that without knowing what it is or who it's from, than they deserve that trojan downlaoder thing, IMO...

www.edonkey.com has never been a site about the filesharing program eDonkey.
It is just a site with advertising and malicious scripts.

like i said its not the official site, but most n00bs would probably just type in edonkey.com
Actually there are activex based exploits that could install a trojan on your system... take the godmessage for example.
