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.

Visit http://forums.net-integration.net/in...howtopic=15308
for additional info.

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