Ignore it! It's been well-documented that it's a false
positive by Spybot Search & Destroy. As long as your
computer is fully patched through windowsupdate.com, you
have nothing to worry about.
Spybot leaves this false positive (instead of "fixing" it
even after all this time of knowing of it) for a specific
reason: many rogue anti-spyware apps are clones of Spybot.
In other words, if you use a rogue app that tells you of a
DSO exploit, they have just been busted as a Spybot clone.
