If all your critical updates are installed you are protected against DSO Exploit and the finding in Spybot is just a nuisance. Eliminate this by doing the following:

1 Open Spybot and select 'advanced' mode.
2 Select 'settings' in the left column.
3 Select 'ignore product' in the left column.
4 Select 'security' tab.
5 Place check mark in box beside DSO Exploit.
6 Close program
7 Open Spybot and run a scan.

It works!

I went to http://www.pchell.com/support/dsoexploit.shtml I read the information and followed it to the letter. I had to make four setting changes. I had five entries in total before hand. If your pc is up todate with all updates then as far as I know you are safe even if the DSO Exploit shows up. However it can be removed anyway.
It is all of the above in more detail............
