Have you got Service Pack 2 installed?

When you get "this message"? Well, maybe you could tell US what was
"this" message. Spybot really just blurts out "found a security hole in
IE" without actually giving you details regarding WHAT security hole it
claims to have found?

If it is lines referring to 'DSO Exploit', then it is spurious; reflects
your having made changes in IE settings that might also have been done
by spyware. Use Spybot's facility to ignore those
