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

Microsoft does have a component called MDAC (data access)
that allows for access to databases, etc.. The early version of
ADO (active data objects) evolved a RDS (remote data services)
feature. RDS was soon exploited in its early version. An RDS
usage, for an example, allows a web page to get a refresh of the
data it is using for display but without having to refresh the entire
web page with a full server roundtrip.

That said, anyone can make up names, and these are often
choosen to sound like something real, something one might
find info about via a web search, sufficient to make it seem
like it is OK.

Thank you for the information. You say this is a "generic warning IE7
throws up when an exploit is trying to enter the system."

The message in the warning sounds as if it was at least related to a
Microsoft component. Do you know why is it referring to the "Remote
Data Services Data Control" in a generic warning?
