Greetings --

Are you, by any chance, asking about a problem being reported by
the latest version of Spybot S&D?

The DSO exploit was patched long ago by IE Cumulative Update
MS02-015, in March of 2002. If you've installed this specific patch,
or any subsequent IE Cumulative Updates, or Service Pack 1, you're
safe. It would appear that the latest version of Spybot S&D is only
checking for Internet zone settings in the registry that could be used
as work-around protection, and not for the presence of any corrective
patches. Hopefully, the makers of Spybot will soon fix this bug.

MS02-015 March 28, 2002 Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;319182

If you like, you can test your system for this particular
vulnerability at this web site:
http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/

The makers of SpyBot S&D have acknowledged the problem and will
fix it on their next update:
http://www.safer-networking.org/inde...il=currentfaqs

In the meantime, in SpyBot S&D, click Mode > Advanced > Settings >
Ignore Products > Security > DSO Exploit, to turn off the false alarm.

If the only indication of a problem is a scan with Spybot S&D, it is a known
issue with S&D. They are working on a fix for it. In the meantime, ignore
the 5 entries S&D finds. They will not harm your computer. I got this
information either from the S&D web-site or their forum. You can find the
same by doing a Google search for DSO Exploit.
