INetSpeak Websearch keeps coming back

[craig]

I've read the many suggestions about starting in safe
mode. Excellent. Spybot found DSO Exploit, yet I've
never seen that one come up before. Since installing
MSAS beta it has found and unsuccessfully removed
INetSpeak Websearch. My search function gets highjacked,
not sure if that's related. Running Norton2005 Virus,
Spybot, AdAware SE and MSAS. Can't get Norton to run in
safe mode but the others run fine. After a couple scans,
all is clean. Return to normal windows and INetSpeak
tries to load, MSAS blocks it. It won't go away. How do
I find where this thing is hiding and get rid of it ionce
and for all? MSAS indicates it's a high risk threat.
Also, is DSO Exploit a legitimate threat?

Hi Craig,
Let's try this: Boot into Safe Mode (F8) at startup;
Empty your temporary files AND your Temporary Internet Files C:\Documents
and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder ;
Run the scan while in safe mode;
If you are running SP2, open IE--->Tools--->Manage Add-ons, and uncheck any
BHO's that you don't recognize.

Craig,

Also, is DSO Exploit a legitimate threat?"

As long as you have all the (Windows) "Critical Updates" (SP1 or higher)
installed,
this is not an issue. It a minor bug in SpyBot and you can simply ignore it.
Open SpyBot, click Settings select: Ignore Products
Click the Security tab, select: DSO Exploit
