Small problem for the mass brain. I'm extreme anal-rententiave about security on my PC and always keep my PC up to date (Reimage the entire box with updated drivers once a month) But now I updated Spybot S&D 1.3 and I can not delete the .Dos exploit from my PC! I've tried it in safe mode etc. still no luck. Is there a problem or what can be done about it?
After it removes the 5 files and I restart + search again it finds it again.
Suggestions?
thx.

Per Kayrac's post, suggested fixes mentioned below if you don't want to wait for the release of the updated version and are feeling adventurous. I haven't tried to "fix" it myself -- waiting for the update.
DSOstop2 (new version 3/21/02) The "DSO Exploit" (Data Source Object) was first reported by GreyMagic Software of Israel on February 27, 2002 and a "workaround" for Microsoft's defective code was provided by Axel Pettinger and Garland Hopkins on March 3, 2002. Their fix requires the user to manually edit the registry. Many computer users are extremely nervous (and justifiably so) about doing this, owing to years of warnings and advisories not to. This FREE utility will safely do it for those who do not feel confident running and editing "Regedit." Read the details for more information and links to the registry modification instructions and test site.
