SECURITY HOLE IN IE6...what do I do???

Guest

As you may have noticed from my previous posts, I've been having problems w/ a few things including Internet Explorer 6
I just ran Spybot Search & Destroy software and below(among other things) is what showed up - there were about 8 or so of these "DSOExp." entries. I don't quite know what to do with it since I have no clue what this thing is. Could this be why I'm having problems w/ IE?... and in either case... what do I do with it?... Spybot can take it off my PC but will that harm the IE even more since it is a Microsoft product?... and what do I do about the Security Hole - is it a big threat
THANKS!! to anyone who can give me any help w/ this (or any of my other postings) ... MiSt_iQu

If Spybot S&D found them and checked them for fixing - let it fix them.
