:mad: I try all the time to remove a DSO Exploit and it stays - never gets removed. Now when I click "Fix Problem" my computer crashes - happened twice, even after a restart. I have Spyware Blaster but this doesn't help. Suggestions?

The detections database has not detected the DSO Exploit for several months.
What Window OS are you running?
What version of Spybot-S&D are you running?
What is the latest detection update date?
Items 2 & 3 can be found by going into Spybot > Help > About.

Spybot finds the same DSO exploit every time I run Spybot. I also use Spyware Blaster. I read a DSO Exploit has to do with Internet Explorer, which I rarely use. What does this spyware do and why can't I get it off my computer?

I believe that you are running and old version of the software and have not updated in a while. Please answer the questions posed in the above thread.

I have been updating with no progress for 3 1/2 hours under "Detection Rules" Also checked are "immunization database" and "Immunize fix" which the "update" will never get to. My reply was to aquire a newer version of Spybot S&D but this isn't happening. now the upgrade picture is back to the beginning of "Detection Rules". Plus I just put IE on my screen - maybe it will work -my OS is Windows ME and I use SBC DSL Browser most of the time, not IE. Any suggestions? Or is this DSL Exploit inerradicable?
Two topics merged.

Hi! I am using Spybot v. 1.3 and have Spyware Blaster installed (no other anti-spyware software) but Spyware Blaster doesn't seem to help. Also it says "no detection update installed"
