Greetings --
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.
MS02-015 March 28, 2002 Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer

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:
