Here is my Hijack This log. I cannot get rid of the DSO Exploit with its 5 entries that keeps popping up in Spybot...I tried posting in the spyware thread and for some reason I could not, so forgive the posting here.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

Ok once again, sorry for my ignorance. I found the thread where it is explained that SPYBOT has yet to fix this, and that it is not a security concern. Should have looked more carefully, and apologies for taking up forum space here!

Not a problem Alex.

For other people's interest, here's one such thread:
