This works!



1) Make a note of the location of the exploit shown in Spybot, something similar to:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1614895754-73586283-725345543-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3

2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and Press Enter to open the Windows Registry
Editor

3) Find the location of the exploit above in the registry by clicking on the pluses(+)
next to each title

4) After opening the Zones section and clicking on '0' look to the right window, under
'name' is the key '1004' and the type is REG_SZ simply right click and delete this
REG_SZ value.Then right click and create new>DWORD Value, name it 1004, then right
click on that and goto modify, give it the Hex Value of 3, Click ok.

If there is only a DWORD Value for the key (in this case 1004), then double click on
the key and change the HEX value to 3 and click Ok.

5) Close the Registry Editor and Reboot your computer

6) The DSO Exploit should now be removed and it should no longer appear in the Spybot
Search and Destroy log as a problem.

I just completed this process, then ran S&D! No DSO Exploit anymore! ;)
