I downloaded SpyBot Search and Destroy and ran it to
find spyware. AdAware and Spy Bot Search and Destroy are
two free programs that have been recommended to me.

SpyBot detected something called
DSO Exploit

Description of it is the following:
Company: Microsoft
Product: Internet Explorer
Threat: Security hole

Company URL: http://www.microsoft.com/
Company product URL: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/
Company privacy URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/info/privacy.htm

Description
There's a security hole in IE allowing websites to
execute code without asking you first. You can find more
information at http://security.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-ie/

I have downloaded all Windows and Office updates and have
McAfee firewall antivirus software running. What is this
and what is best way to protect PC?
