DSO Exploit

[TheFrog]

Does anybody else have this annoying spyware keep appearing. Spybot finds it and clears it, but it always comes back after using the web again.
Is there a permanent fix?

Hi

If all your critical updates are installed you are protected against DSO Exploit and the finding in Spybot is just a nuisance. Eliminate this by doing the following:

1 Open Spybot and select 'advanced' mode.
2 Select 'settings' in the left column.
3 Select 'ignore product' in the left column.
4 Select 'security' tab.
5 Place check mark in box beside DSO Exploit.
6 Close program
7 Open Spybot and run a scan.

You will find that DSO Exploit has been eliminated and if your computer does not harbour any other spyware you will see a congratulatory message.

DSO exploit is not spyware.It is microsoft and part of windows.All it is is a flaw in internet explorer labeled as a security risk.An update of int. explorer should take care of it.It is not any spyware so dont worry.I found this out by clicking arrows to the right of when it finds it.It explains it all.
