I'm a newbie with a newbie problem...

installed spybot, updated, immunized, rebooted pc...ran spybot, got 5 dso exploits, fixed problem...ran again, found the same problems....what do i do?

What version of Spybot do you have installed?If you're not sure,open Spybot,click Help,then About.And what version of Windows do you have(XP,windows 98,etc.)?

This is the Reader's Digest condensed version of my system... I have an older version of SpyBot, v 1.3 not sure about upgrades...are they free, or do I need to just bounce a check to somewhere for it? (lol)

Compaq Presario Desktop PC
Windows XP, sp2
AMD Sempron 3100+
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600
512 MB RAM
Usable Hard Disk Capacity: 160 GB
Security: AntiVir, SpyBot S&D, AdAware

It would appear that not only are you not only running an old version of Spybot (Spybot-S&D 1.3) but somehow you are running with old spyware definition files since DSO Exploit has not been detected in quite a while.

Please consider upgrading to Spybot-S&D 1.4 (it is all free unless you choose to donate).

To upgrading to Spybot-S&D 1.4:

There are four (4) download sites for Spybot-S&D 1.4 here:

• Mirror Selection – The home of Spybot–S&D!

Uninstall Spybot-S&D 1.3:

  How to uninstall?

Install Spybot-S&D 1.4:

• Execute spybotsd14.exe download above.
• Do not change the default installation path of:
  • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
• Make sure that you update Sptbot-S&D 1.4 before running a scan.

Stepped on up to the luxury class 1.4 version, got all updates, immunized, ran scan..... now I'm all cleaned up, and ready for the kids to get me dirty again....lol I thank all who helped me, and I am glad to have this program running on this system...thanks, also, for the rapid response which led to a quick and painless solution for my obviously not-so-serious problem. :bigthumb:
