I am having the same problem, Spybot S&D says it is fixed but when I run it again, it shows up again (IMMEDIATELY after I check it and it "fixes" it). I also dled ad aware, but ad aware doesn't seem to see any problems, where spybot S&D still finds DSO Exploit. I do not know if this is something I should worry about or not, because I have all the current security updates from microsoft, and some forums have said that its just a glitch in spybot, but I have no clue what to believe... All I know is I don't think it should be on my computer and I want to know how to get if off!!! PLEASE help

     I, too, have this problem. I've used both Spybot S&D and Adaware--both identify DSO exploit and, when I say "fix it", the programs report that it will be removed. Yet, when I rerun immediately, the same problem appears. Perhaps related is my inability to ever change my homepage URL...it always defaults to an unpleasant one anytime I start IE.
     HELP!! Please...

          Must've been the first time Spybot S & D has run
          on your machine. Check it and click Fix.
