DSO exploit won't go with spybot!

Spybot detects and clean the DSO exploit but it always come back.
Here's what founds:

DSO Exploit: Data source object exploit (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-73586283-1645522239-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3

How to get rid of that annoying DSO?

I'm interested to know too, because it is doing the same thing with me. :( It detects it and I delete it, but the next week when I scan again, its there.

seems to be a problem with spybot... try getting the newest version...



Basically what's happening is that Spybot is finding that the security setting for "Download unsigned ActiveX controls" for the (normally) hidden "My Computer" zone in Internet Explorer is not set to disabled.

It's a bug in Spybot S&D I forget where I read the post now, but they say the fix didn't make it into the most recent release, but will. You can ignore it if your windows updates are up to date.
