Every time i run Spybot 1.3, after scanning my pc for problems, the same exact thing is always found. Its called "DSO Exploit" and it has 5 entries. There hasnt been one single time that i have scanned using spybot 1.3 without it finding "DSO Exploit". So i would like to know what a "DSO Exploit" is, and how come even though i always remove it, it ends up coming back again and again. Thankyou very much to the kind people who decide to help me. :-)

You killed Kenny! You b---tard!

That is a flaw in Spybot that they have been working on and they say the fix will be in their next update.

You don't need to worry about it, Spybot has killed they ad ware problem, it's just some registry entries that windows rebuilds after every reboot that Spybot is detecting as the DSO exploit ad ware.

If it really bothers you, email me and I'll send you instructions on editing the registry so that Spybot will no longer find the keys that cause it to detect DSO exploit.
