I was told by Spybot that my IE has a Security Hole and
they cannot fix it. I had already loaded updates,
patches, etc. all up to date. What do I do now to fix or
get rid of this? Microsoft says they have a roundabout
way to fix, I am an experienced computer person. What?
 
The Spybot message is erroneous.

Carey,
How would you know ? And, I am having problems with IE . While on the web everything on my screen starts moving around , changing places and eventually there is nothing left except my start choices. This happens frequently, and could happen now.

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.

for additional info.

Make sure you visit the Windows Update website and download any
recommended Critical Updates.
