I have one computer but five users and when one particular user tries to use google an ad for spybouncer pops up. Its claims to be software for removing spyware. I have the latest updates and ezarmour firewall and antivirus and when i ran spybot s&d yesterday I had 5 instances of dso exploit which i removed but they just regenerate. How do I remove this ad. Its really beginning to freakin annoy me. Thanks in advance

SpyBouncer is a SCAM, it will scan your system, but you have to pay for it to fix anything.

Use both SpyBot and AdAware, they work very well together. Are you using SpyBot 1.3, 1.2 is no longer supported.

SpyBot doesn't really fix the DSO Exploit, to actually fix it requires some registry editing. The best way to do it is with a little DL called "dsostop2.exe". Get it here:

Spybot actually does kill the DSO exploit, but the program has a glitch in that it does not remove the reference in the register. Spybot then picks up the reference on the next scan and fools itself into thinking DSO is still active when it isn't.
I am sure that in the next update of Spybot they will correct the glitch.

I'm not sure, but a company that hides it's info is certainly suspect!
