....deleting all the ActiveX control downloads on your computer, then checking again.
It would also help if we knew the operating system you're using.
And yes, the "Damaged" listings indicate that something has corrupted that particular file although it shouldn't be a major issue. Most of those files come from the "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files" (I'm using an XP computer at the moment) which are ActiveX controls. Those files are generally safe to delete and they will get replaced the next time you visit a site that needs them. Shockwave/Flash will need to be reinstalled, etc.
It might be a good idea to clean out the Temporary Internet Files folder and Cookies folder as well.
Open the Control Panel, double click the "Internet Options" icon, and click on the "Delete Files" button in the "Temporary Internet Files" section. When the next window pops up, make sure to place a CHECK mark in the "Delete all offline files", then click on OK. If you're using IE 6, then also click on the "Delete Cookies" button.
Check the System Information again.
Hope this helps.
