what does the "Microsoft data access" "remote data services" add-in do?

Hi folks

when I browse to a particular website using IE I get this message:

"This web site wants to run the following add-on: 'Microsoft Data
Access - Remote Data Services Dat...' from 'Microsoft Corporation'. If
you trust the web site and the add-on and want to allow it to run,
click here..."

The problem is that I would like to know what is this add-in used for.
"Data Access - Remote Data Services" does not sound very trustable to
me...

It would be nice the "More information" option in the Internet
Explorer security bar actually told me about the particular add-in and
NOT some general information.

If anyone knows what this add-on can be used for or can point me to a
web resource explaining this, I would like to hear.

Thanks!

JJ
