Spyware

[Guest]

While running spybot I got a response on "DSO Exploit" that had 5 registry entries. Does anyone know what this is?

Greetings Waldo,

I have searched through google on the "DSO Exploit" unfortunately I didn't
find any information on it. By all means just remove it from your system by
using your Spybot program.

Thanks and Good Luck!

It's probably a false alarm.

The DSO exploit was patched long ago by 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

If you like, you can test your system for this particular
vulnerability at this web site:

The makers of SpyBot S&D have acknowledged the problem and will
fix it on their next update:
