- ActiveX Data Objects
Microsoft s ActiveX Data Objects ADO is a set of Component Object Model COM object computing object s for accessing data sources. A part of MDAC , it provides a middleware layer between programming language s and OLE DB a means of accessing data stores, whether they be database s or otherwise, in a uniform manner . ADO allows a software developer developer to write programs that access data without knowing how the database is implemented. He must be aware of the database for connection only. No knowledge of SQL is required to access a database when using ADO, although one can use ADO to directly execute SQL commands. The disadvantage of the latter is that it introduces a dependency upon the type of database used. ADO is positioned as a successor to Microsoft s earlier object layers for accessing data sources, including Remote Data Objects RDO Remote Data Objects and Data Access Objects DAO Data Access Objects . ADO was introduced by Microsoft in October 1996. Internals ADO is made up of four collections and twelve objects. ADO collections Fields This collection contains a set of Field objects. The Collection can be used in either a Recordset object or in a Record object. In a Recordset object, each of the Field objects that make up the Fields collection corresponds to a column in that Record set object. In a Record object, a Field can be an absolute or relative URL that points into a tree structured Namespace computer science namespace used for semi structured data providers like the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Internet Publishing or as a reference to the default Stream object ...

These dialogs are typically presented in Internet Explorer versions 4 through 6 SP1 when the user browses to a web site containing an ActiveX control that they do not already have installed.

- Killbit
Killbit is a security feature in web browsers based on Microsoft s Trident layout engine Trident engine such as Internet Explorer and other ActiveX containers that respect the killbit such as Microsoft Office . A killbit instructs an ActiveX control container never to use a specific piece of ActiveX software, whether third party or Microsoft, as identified by its CLSID class identifier CLSID . The main purpose of a killbit is to close security holes. If a vendor discovers that there is a security hole in a specific version of an ActiveX control, they can request that Microsoft put out a killbit for it. Killbit updates are typically deployed to Microsoft Windows operating systems via Windows Update . Implementation A flag in the Windows Registry identifies a CLSID as unsafe. The CLSID acts as a serial number for the software in question a Globally unique identifier GUID that must exist for each piece of software that behaves as an ActiveX control. If an ActiveX container finds that the CLSID of a killbit entry matches the CLSID of the software, the software is blocked from running in the ActiveX container. If a vendor wants to release an updated version then they release it with a different CLSID. Internet Explorer s HTML Application HTML application host also respects the killbit when processing the OBJECT tag in HTML, but not when processing scripts in HTML.
