DSO Exploit

PC Neophyte · Sep 11, 2004

Hya! I know this is probably a *really* basic question so please be patient with me as I *am* a neophyte When I do a Spybot search on my PC I'm getting a result which reads 'DSO Exploit' (in red) and when I expand it, it's indicating that there's been a registry change with HKEY_USERS/ a load of numbers and HKEY_USERS/DEFAULT/Software/Microsoft/Windows - which are not red font, but black.
I don't want to select "Fix selected problems" in case this is a system default that's *supposed* to be left alone. HELP! and thank you

You can select Fix here. It's okay! But do not be surprised if you run another scan and see the DSO Exploit listed again with SpyBot. It is a well know problem which has been discusses many time in this forum. Do a search in this forum on DSO Exploit and you will see. Make sure you have your Microsoft updates installed too.

Not necessary! And would not help. It was a bug in Spybot! The original post from PC Neophyte was 3 months old. We have the patch for Spybot here on MG's and it is listed in our basic cleanup procedures too.
