The remote host contains a version of the ActiveX control for Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime Extended Files that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host by constructing a malicious web page and enticing a victim to visit it.
Note that this control may have been included with Visual Studio or FoxPro or as part of a third-party application created by one of those products.
