Ah yes, the Geschenk!
I had almost a dozen platforms where this was found in the mid '90s.

| While there is one rather old "joke" virus that can eject CDs,
| this problem is most often caused, in my experience, by a defective CD
| Drive.

| 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.

| If you like, you can test your system for this particular
| vulnerability at this web site:

|
| The makers of SpyBot S&D have acknowledged the problem and will
| fix it on their next update:
| http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=paragraphs&detail=currentfaqs
|
| In the meantime, in SpyBot S&D, click Mode > Advanced > Settings >
| Ignore Products > Security > DSO Exploit, to turn off the false alarm.
