DSO Exploit
I have recently installed "Sypbot S&D" and it keeps
finding a spyware called DSO Exploit that effects your registry. I deleted it once and again it came back. As I am a novice of registry, I hesitate to keep deleting it--- any advise?

DSO Exploit
Could be it's hiding in System Restore.
Turn off System Restore and run the fixes again.

DSO Exploit
Greetings --
That particular exploit was patched by an IE Cumulative Update MS02-015, in March of 2002. If you've installed this specific patch, or any subsequent IE Cumulative Updates, or Service Pack 1, you're safe. It would appear that the latest version of Spybot S&D is only checking for Internet zone settings in the registry that could be used as work-around protection, and not for the presence of any corrective patches. Hopefully, the makers of Spybot will soon fix this bug. MS02-015 March 28, 2002 Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;319182 If you like, you can test your system for this particular vulnerability at this web site: http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/ Bruce Chambers -- Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - RAH "Alice" wrote in message ...

DSO Exploit
Thank You.....I have always installed any and all patches
from windows as soon as available..thank you. I went to spybot site says they are aware of the issue and will correct on the next update. Have I harmed anything since I deleted the registry items already once? After the line that detected the spyware it say (nothing done)-does this mean there has been no harm done and I should not have deleted the file? -----Original Message----- Greetings -- That particular exploit was patched by an IE Cumulative Update MS02-015, in March of 2002.

DSO Exploit
If you restore the computer with System Restore, you also restore the
exploits. Turning off System Restore deletes all Restore Points. There is no way to "temp turn off and save all the old ones". -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ wrote in message ... thank You.I read the article you pointed out to me and if I understand it corectly, If I turn off the system restore (just uncheck the box) ALL my previous restore points will be removed!!

DSO Exploit
Greetings --
If IE is still working properly, you may not have hurt anything. If you're worried, however, you could use a restore point to return the registry to it's pre-deletion state.
