DSO exploit?

[Agnihotra]

Hi, forgive me if my question makes eyes roll but I'm new to Spybot and I'm not sure about a particular "problem" that comes up when I scan my computer.

Here it is:

DSO Exploit: Data source object exploit (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3

DSO Exploit: Data source object exploit (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3

there are several of these particular DSO Exploit's but since they seem to be registry related I don't want to push the button without knowing what I'm doing.

and here is one other that I get:

Alexa Related: What's related link (Replace file, nothing done)
C:\WINDOWS\Web\related.htm

Thank you for any help you provide and thanks for providing they great spyware software!:bigthumb:

What Windows OS are you running? Also please run the scan again. After you are done, right click on the results list and select "Copy results to clipboard" then paste the clipboard into a new post.

You are running Spybot-S&D 1.3 (and old version) with no updates since that version was introduced 2004-05-12 (over 1 and 1/2 years ago).

I suggest that you:
Upgrade to Spybot-S&D 1.4. You can find download mirrors here:

Make sure that you update before running a scan (there is a step in the installation process to download updates - the latest updates are 2005-12-02).

If you run into problems or need additional help, feel free to post back.
