[Name?] That DSO exploit garbage has been a problem with SB since day one and they refuse to fix the bug. You have to fix this manually. I've never seen this problem on AdAware, so I don't know what to say about it. I don't even remember if AdAware even tags it.
To fix it, just go to the registry in those several places SB tags this exploit. Depending on how you have it setup, you either double click the entry in SB, or go to the right of the entry and click the "location" area or something like that, and it will open the registry and in few seconds it will go to the exact registry tag. Delete that "1004" entry in the right pane that has the red & white icon (I forget what type of key it is since I'm going from memory alone here), then right click an open area and "create new Dword", call it 1004 then change the value to 3 (double-click then change it to 3). Now SB will no longer tag it as bad. As far Wild Tangent, I haven't had any experience with it. You can usually just do a search on these stubborn infestations and find the removal info that way. Search for that name, and I'm sure you'll find removal info. You can also search for that name along with SpyBot in the search phrase and you'll probably see what exactly is going on, why it won't fix it. Remember that in some cases, these anti-malware programs might be REMOVING the malware, but it's a program on your PC that keeps putting it back, and the specific program will have to be removed in order for it to stop adding its malware. -Clint Happy Thanksgiving to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have spybot and adaware SE on my Windows XP computer, I am on a dsl connection with a firewall,each time I run spybot these two entries keep showing titled "DSO Exploit"and "Wild Tangent".
