Angry Fire DSO Exploit woes.

How do I get rid of this nuisance? Spybot will rid it but its soon back after a few keystrokes. Xoftsoft won't even recognize it. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Rob

That's a known bug in Spybot. It's not an issue, you are fine as long as you have all your Windows critical updates.

The DSO Exploit is a security gap in IE. Microsoft did already repair this, so if you have all Windows updates and patches installed, it will not be dangerous for your system. Spybot S&D will still find it, because it contains an invalid value. Spybot S&D just has to reset that value. Unfortunately, in the current version, it sets again an incorrect value, so it is found in the next scan. Please update your main program.

Not an issue - just be sure to update Windows regularily and run Lavasoft's Adaware along with it as a "safety valve".
