Hey there...I scanned my computer with S/B search and
destroy and found a DSO exploit on it...The discription
says it is a security hole in IE allowing websites to
execute code without asking first. Does anyone know what
it is and how do I fix it? I'm worried that my computer
will be damaged. I am only an amatuer at all this!
Regards,
Sharalee
