Through Spybot Search and Destroy I found out that I have
a security hole. I know it exists, because I'm always
having these popups about Active X trying to enter.

This is the description of the problem:
There's a security hole in IE allowing websites to execute
code without asking you first. You can find more
information at http://security.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-ie/

Do you have a patch for this?

Thanks
 
You can ignore this finding in Spybot if all your critical updates are
installed. In this case, you are protected against DSO Exploit, You can
eliminate Spybot from finding this by configuring the program as follows:

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.

As for your Active X, you can change the settings in Internt Options -
Tools, Internet Options, Security Tab, Click Custom Level. Check your
settings they may be set too high.
