Spybot catching registry change

I had to modify the following key because outlook express was taking to long to load:
My computer/Hkey_Classes_Root/CLSID/{FB7199AB-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C541}
\InProcServer32..Double-click on the (Default) value(which was aim) and erase it.
The problem is that when I run spybot I get 4 DSO exploits:
DSO Exploit: Data source object exploit (Registry change, nothing done)
None of the four are from the registry key I modified and every time I open outlook express the keys are recreated.
Is it safe for me to ignore these 4 DSOs?
Thank you

Chunko, I have the same thing as you, and many others have also. You will always have a DSO Exploit indicated on Spybot, although it can be 1 to 5 entrys depending. I get 5. This is a glitch on the part of Spybot; it doesn't change the register key values where the entry was. The Exploit is gone, it no longer exists. Spybot has killed it, but it registers as active because of the above reason.
You can go in and change the values manually, just be extremely careful. I just haven't bothered. Eventually Spybot will correct their coding, it probably will take less time than I took making this post.
