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)

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:

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:
