Hi neil and welcome! 
The DSO exploit being reported by Spybot Search & Destroy is actually a bug in the program. You can just put those on ignore for now and it will be fixed in a future update.
See the thread in the Spybot Forum here which explains the bug about DSO exploit found in Spybot:

QUOTE
You see, there are several reports of this issue here in the Spybot forum, which shows that it is happening for a lot of people, so in that sense it's normal - meaning your system is reacting like many others...
However, the fact that Spybot isn't properly fixing this is just a simple bug that I'm sure will be fixed soon.
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.
Given that anyone who is properly patched (via Windows Update) is not vulnerable to this exploit anymore, this is really not a serious issue, so provided your system is patched, you have nothing to worry about and can just ignore this until the fix comes out.
