Spybot Question

[Key]

Everytime I run "search and destroy", the same problem comes up- DSO Exploit. Anyone know what this is? It will say that it is fixed then appear again when I run the search and destroy function. Thank you in advance for any replies.

That might be a "trojan" and might be fixed by running your virus scanner.
I use Spysweeper and although it's not free like Spybot, it seems easier to understand for me than Spybot. Spybot was good--but too much for me to comprehend.

Still there. Anyone else know what this might be?

Thanks for the response OMT.

Key, when was the last time you updated your Spybot?

Sounds like you need to update your detections on spybot..


OR you need to update your Windows by going to Windowsupdate.com

#1Cheat, thanks for the response.

I have updated anti virus, spybot, and windows, several times at that. This exploit still remains. I do not notice anything wrong, in fact my system runs great. I'm just curious as to what this is and why spybot says it fixes and then it re appears.
