Does spybot search and destroy detech the acer lunchapp.ocx "remote execute" ocx that has been installed by acer since 1998, c:\windows\system\lunchapp.ocx (at least in my case..)

There have been several places on the net warnings for this ocx.

Hello.

I see this problem has been Slashdotted: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/08/0515200&from=rss

Do you prevent silent execution of the ActiveX control by setting IE to Prompt and are you running IE6 or IE7?
