Thanks, I'll pass this along to my friend, and let him look up his problem.
I never heard of that problem, or at least, I never had that problem.
Thanks again for your link. Silverado over and out.

The DSO fix on Major Geeks is a legitimate release.

The release your are talking about is mentionedhere which is a "sticky" on top of the "All Other Software" forum.

They should update the help file in SpyBot. There it talks about the DSO Exploit and says that a tool to stopping this process is not yet made (not exact words).

I wrote to spybot once about this DSO exploit, but they never responded, I agree, you'd think there would be something somewhere in spybot that would say that there wasn't a fix yet for it, but the major geeks fix, did fix it. Mine is running ok now.

"the download from majorgeeks is an unofficially beta version from us which we
have remove
from our server because we are preparing a new release.

Thanks for the Update
Thanks.
Can't wait for it,
It should have been out a while ago, I wrote to them a long time ago, and have downloaded about 3 new versions since I wrote to them. Glad to see something is happening.
Thanks for the update. Silverado over and out

DSO exploit isn't so bad if you cant get rid of it. It is only considered spyware, because it sends information back to Microsoft. It is rather harmless though.
