[Ham-Computers] DSO Exploit Spyware ??

[Jerry K]

Jim, if you go to the SpyBot S&D website
http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html and search for "DSO Exploit" the whole
thing is explained in a FAQ. Bottom line is DSO Exploit apparently isn't
really there, but S&D still thinks it finds it every time. A fix is promised
soon.

Subject: [Ham-Computers] DSO Exploit Spyware ??


Hi: I'm running two Dell computers, one a Dimension 4100 P3 1 GHz using Win
Me, and the other an OptiPlex P3 930 MHz using XP Professional.  I run
Spybot Search and Destroy (http://security.kolla.de/) on both to find and
eliminate spyware.  Each time I run Spybot, DSO Exploit is listed.  It's
identified as a data source object exploit, and lists the following
registry
entry:
HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\0\1004!\=W=3

The description says:
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/   That site lists some fixes,
but I don't have the knowledge to try them.

I checked my registry for
HKEY_USERS_DEFAULT\software\microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSetting
s\Zones\0\1004,
and the value in the data field is just two double quotes  ""  .  The value
never changes.  So, maybe I don't have the problem even though Spybot finds
them.

Has anyone else seen this entry?
Jim
