If you keep getting DSO Expliot (5) Five of them, its a bug in Spybot.
Dont worry to much about it, and just keep scanning with Adaware, Spybot and Spysweeper and you should be pretty safe.
Thanks for the reply , I have been busy since my last post , trawling the net etc , I took plunge restored from ghost backup , but same results ,so restored again methodically ploughed through pc removed items from trusted zones etc ie tesco.net an old isp , and owt else i didnt like the look of ha ha! done a system restore point, arranged for my pc doctor to call , anyway I did find out the following apparently a file has been got at in the registry according to one site something about to fix the problem you have to edit and rename a file in the registry key 1104 delete reg sz value and give it the hex value of 3 way above my wee head , but its annoying when you do take care what you download and you still get zapped I now figured out a recent download of real alternative may have been responsible but that is only a guess as thats the last download i did
tried adaware too, some say its a spybot prob others an internet explorer fault , ive asked my pc engineer to call ,may just do a total reinstall , backup to dvd and painstakingly reinstall all programs, but again it can happen to me it can happen to anyone microsoft should have a patch to fix this
DSO Exploit [link]
The problem with the DSO Exploit is a little bug. We have already been able to locate and fix it. This fix will be included with the coming program (main) update.
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.
You will find a download here.
Download it, execute it and choose the folder of Spybot S&D. Then reboot, scan and fix the problems.
