Please note that the instructions have you change IE's settings. The
problem is with Spybot, not IE, unless you haven't been keeping IE
updated, in which case your problem is operator error. As she says in
her second paragraph, "You can safely ignore these reports."

Why not fix it at the source? Open Spybot, click on Mode -> Advanced
mode. Then click on Settings, at the bottom left corner, followed by
Ignore products. Find DSO Exploit in the list, and put a check mark in
the box.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
