DSO Exploit?

[Cochise]

I can run Spybot S&D one after another and each time I get a DSO Exploit - 5 Entries come up:- HKEY-USERS\S-1-5-18 to 21\MicrosoftWind. Registry Change. I 'FIX' it but it's still there on the next run??....Whats that all about please..

That's just a bug in Spybot 1.3. They know about it and have fixed the code, but have not yet released an update to the public. See this thread for more on this:

You can either look at manually updating the registry entries that Spybot is scanning, or just ignore it until Spybot gets updated to handle it itself.

Many thanks LWM....no sweat then, I'll wait for the Update......Good health!

Hi all

Just out of curiousity, has anyone tried nsclean's free utility for fixing that?

Spybot S&D is just giving false positives on this thing, in fact the vulnerability does NOT even exist as shown here by DSOStop2:

Spybot didn't even find it on my computer.
But DSOStop2 said I had the vulnerability.
