Lloyd asks: Well, now that you've mentioned SpyBot  -

What is DSO Exploit, and why can't my SpyBot Search and Destroy get rid  
of it? Even when I manually remove it from my directory it  automatically
immediately reappears. What is it doing to me or my  system?

From  the Spybot Web Site:
Why does DSO Exploit return?

DSO-Exploit is a  security gap in Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook 
Express. Microsoft  did already close this gap with security updates, so 
with current Windows  updates and patches installed, it will no longer be 
a threat to your  system.

Spybot-S&D will still detect the DSO-Exploit, but instead of  fixing it 
for good, it will unfortunately again set an invalid value.  Therefore it 
will again be found with every scan.

This little bug in  Spybot-S&D has already been repaired and the 
respective fix will soon be  available as a program update.

Re: what is a dso exploit?

The DSO  Exploit finding in Spybot 1.3 has been a problem since that 
version was  first released. Spybot keeps finding the same items over and 
over, even when  you tell it to fix them because of a bug. The fix 
doesn't apply because of a  small error in the program. The Spybot team 
is fully aware of it and have  even coded a fix, but they just haven't 
released it yet.

You may want  to read this rather long thread over on the Spybot forum at 
Net-Integration.  (Note that NI has been on and offline a few times 
today, but appears to be  up at the  moment):

Basically,  anyone who has their system patched via Windows Update can 
ignore this  Spybot finding. All it's trying to do is set an IE security 
setting to  "disabled", but the bug is preventing that registry change 
from being  applied. That thread explains various work-arounds for anyone 
who wants to  do something about it themselves rather than waiting for a 
Spybot  fix.
