Why does DSO EXPLOIT keep coming back everytime I run Sypbot Search and Destroy? I fix the problem, but when I run it again, even after I update Spybot, it still comes back as possible spyware. Is this spyware, or something else triggering it?

Is your IE up to date? if so in spybot select advanced mode\settings\ignore products\security and check dso exploit..you can google for a full explanation...run spybot again and you now will get a congratulation

[silverado4]

Got it, no more DSO Exploit, it worked. Lets hope that no one puts spyware in the DSO Exploit area, or else I'll miss it in the future. Thanks for the "TIP".

okay, your welcome for the tip

shouldn't be a problem if you have all the windows updates

Here is a quote from the spybot forums on this subject

The problem with the DSO Exploit is a little bug. We have already been able to locate and fix it, but unfortunately it was not included with the last update. It will hopefully be with the next one.
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 is not dangerous for your system.
I hope that explains the situation.

If you want to stop it appearing in Spybot do this Click on Mode/advanced/settings/ignore products then tick it in the list that appears and it wont show anymore

geeeezzzzzz I can't do all the googling!!!

"you can google for a full explanation".

[silverado4]

Yes, I have all the latest patches and things for windows xp, except Service Pack 2. Don't want it just yet. I've been hearing too many bad things about it. What have you heard?

Here is the DSO fix from Spybot until and update to the present version is brought out.

Here is what your Spybot will show with the fix.

Worked good, I downloaded it, ran it, got the DSO Exploit, Fix the problem, ran it again, got the "congratulations". I took of the DSO tick off the settings first just in case it was going to cause a problem. Thanks guys for all your help. Know anything about converting midi's to MP3's?

[junker39]

Silverado, maybe post that question about midi to mp3 in the "All other software" forum. More people will see it and I'd like to know the "how to" also. Thanks.

[silverado4]

Will do, Thanks,
Thanks again for fixing my problem with the spybot... later.... Silverado over and out

[silverado4]

My Friend is getting the attached error running spybot, I hope it comes out,
I never attached jpgs, don't know if I can do it. Spybot show complete, but has a funny error message. The picture didn't work, he gets a "z demon" error." Ever heard of it?

Silverado, that is the link to the SpyBot forum.
Slip over there and see what you can come up with.
