I have Windows XP and Spybot Search & Destroy installed.
When I run spybot, it found DSO exploits with the
description that 'there's a security hold in IE allowing
websites to execute code without asking you first. You
can find more information at
http://security.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-ie/'

If there are IE security holes wouldn't SP2 solve this?
Spybot can't seem to get rid of this - how can I get rid
of DSO exploits?
Thanks.
