Default Any Know of odbcactivepack.dll?

I just noticed in the Application Data path there was a directory called, odbcactivepack with a dll in it called, odbcactivepack.dll

Never heard of this before, looked odd to me and can't find any info online...

Nothing comes up in any searches. Strange

Submit it.

FYI. What are MDAC, DA SDK, ODBC, OLE DB, ADO, RDS, and ADO/MD?
Quote:
Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), is an international standard for manipulating relational data using SQL query syntax across disparate datasources. ODBC has the advantage of being an international standard that allows you to manipulate a vast array of relational datasources through numerous ODBC Drivers from both Microsoft and third party vendors. The key disadvantage of ODBC is that it is limited to relational, SQL-syntax based data.
A search on Microsoft's site does not reveal odbcactivepack.dll, so perhaps it is from a third party vendor.

As suggested by Cudni & Keyboard_Commando, run the file via an online scanning service for peace of mind.
