Need some advice

Good afternoon all...I have a problem with the this DOS that keeps either starting up on start up or when i open Internet Explorer. I have no idea what is except that its bad....I've looked for info on it and can't find even what DOS means or what it does excatly. Spybot finds it every time and i fix it but it just comes back.

 

This may not be what you're seeing, but I think you mean "DSO". There is one that Spybot will identify and remove that will return because it is not actually spyware but registry entries connected to IE security level settings. If you see "Zones" as a part of the entries found-- there are up to five, I believe-- it is safe to ignore.

 

This is what i see here

DSO Exploit: Data source object exploit (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3

That's the one I'm talking about (note bold). Some call it a bug in Spybot. I updated Spybot on a machine at work today (WinXP SP2) and it doesn't show up anymore.
