spybot question

[franklinz]

i ran spybot after a clean install of xp home (sp 1, all updates etc.) and it pops up having 5 "DSO EXPLOIT".
i read the description before deleting it, and it says "theres a security hole in ie allowing websites to execute codes without asking first"
any ideas?
thanks,
franklinz

Go to M$ updates and get the patch to plug the security hole(s).

[franklinz]

ive got all the updates available.

It might one of those things where an MS update for XP closes one hole only to create another hole somewhere else. If you have a firewall and an antivirus program on your system you shouldn't have to worry. Wait until the next slew of ineffective MS patches comes out to see if these dso exploits disappear.
