the exploit is a hole in internet explorer, if you have the latest patches for your windows then you have nothing to worry about, a patch was issued by microsoft but spybot still detects it, just tick the ignore box in the spybot options for 'dso exploit'.

edit: follow this link if you have version 1.3 installed:

The DSO Exploit is a security gap in IE. Microsoft did already repair this, so if you have all Windows updates and patches installed, it will not be dangerous for your system. Spybot S&D will still find it, because it contains an invalid value. Spybot S&D just has to reset that value. Unfortunately, in the current version, it sets again an incorrect value, so it is found in the next scan. Please update your main program

as i told you ;)
