9) Next steps I can perform

• Provide specific command lines and small C# test harness code to register/invoke the OCX and capture outputs.
• Draft YARA and Sysmon rules from discovered indicators once you provide the file or static output (hashes, strings, imports).
• Walk through a live analysis session if you can share the OCX file (ensure authorized transfer).

• For 64-bit Windows (most cases):
  regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\fast2001.ocx
• For 32-bit Windows:
  regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\fast2001.ocx
