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!

go to start button, go to run, type REGEDIT,  then Enter,
go to HKEY_USERS, go to .DEFAULT, go to the first (software) that appears, go to Microsoft, go to Windows, go to CurrentVersion, go to Internet Settings, go to Zones, click on ( 0 ), click on 1004 on right panal, now right click on 1004, go to Modify, now type the Value name/ type this:   REG_SZ, press OK, now right click on 1004, go to delete, now right click on right panal, go to new, type value name:  1004, right click again on 1004, change Value date to   3, the Base will be set on Hexadecimal.  You are now finished.

I forgot to add that you will chose DWORD

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...

My link failed, so try putting it by hand and I will try again on this board
http://www.pchell.com/support/dsoexploit.shtml I hope it works this time.

Sorry got link to work, if it does not work the first time try try and try again. The only way forward to learn about PCs in my mind...
