Files found by spybot, destroy or not?

Dear all,

Thanks for the opportunity to ask a question here at the messege board.

Spybot has found the following problems from my Windows XP system:

  1. Alexa Related

    What's related link

    C:\WINDOWS\Web\RELATED.HTM

  2. DSO Exploit

    Data source object exploit Registry change

    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Setterings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3

  3. WildTangent

    Updater directory

    C:\WINDOWS\wt\updater\

  4. Avenue A, Inc.
  5. DoubleClick

  6. MarketScore

  7. Media Plex
  8. Advertising.com

Spybot suggested me to destroy them all.  However, I have destroyed only items 4 - 8.  I am not sure if I should destroy the first 3 items, which are Alexa Related, DSO Exploit, and WildTangent,

because it looks like these three items belong to my Windows system.  Am I right or wrong?  Please help me!  Thanks so very much!!!

Tom
