DSO Exploit
hi
everytime i run spybot i get the DSO Exploit as a problem to fix...i can click on fix errors and run the program again,and its right back.
i went to the greymagic website and did this
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones \ 0]
Change the value of "1004" (DWORD) to 3.
was this the right thing to do?

followed your steps in your post and my DSO EXploit entries changed from 2 to 1 so must have worked.
wasn't sure if i was supposed to look in different zone no.s for more of the same entries. 0-5 was listed and they all had values of 3 except in zone 2...so i followed your steps in that zone and am currently running spybot right now.

ok restarted and am running right now.
now these changes i'm making to the registry won't effect the security of the pc in any way will they?
also my version of spybot is 1.3...is there a newer edition?

after the restart and then running spybot again...i'm still getting 1 DSO Eploit entry.
could there be another DWORD entry causing this?

Hi
What's a 'DSO exploit' and how do I get rid of it?
http://ask-leo.com/whats_a_dso_exploit_and_how_do_i_get_rid_of_it.html
I wouldn't worry too much - it's a glitch referencing a potential internet explorer problem, but if you're fully patched with IE you can safely ignore it. Otherwise get patched, then ignore it,
Deb :))

go to the registry
if you have a 1004 (Reg_Dword) entry, double click on it and make sure it is set to zero. If you have a 1004 (Reg_sz) entry, click on it once (to highlight it) and hit the Delete Key on the keyboard.
Thats it. You're all done

You can also delete the entry from spybot.
Else from spybot check which registry entry it is pointing to and then delete the corresponding entry.
In case yo uare unsure about it as Deb said let it be . its not a big deal . you can tel lspybot to deslect this entry from further searches.
