Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 K.C. DOS Exploit is actually a bug in Internet Explorer that could allow untrusted software to run on your computer. This type ofbug is often called a "hole" in Internet Explorer. Hackers could use this hole to gain access to your system.The way to fix this hole, is to go to the Windows Update website and make sure you have installed all the updates for InternetExplorer. This will fix the bug. The second issue you might be having, is that Spybot has a small bug that makes it unable totell that you have fixed the problem. You can just ignore the DSO Exploit in Spybot, but if it is really bugging you, (andyou are brave enough to edit the registry) you can fix the problem by editing the registry. You must be careful though,since making incorrect changes to the registry can cause your computer to no longer boot into windows, and then you will havea bigger problem than you started with.Directions for editing the registry can be found at: http://www.pchell.com/support/dsoexploit.shtml Janet Spybot I have that Spybot on my computer and whenever I run it, all it ever says is DSO Exploit - 5 Entries. Can someone explain this to me? K.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I don't think I will attempt to fix the registry. I have updated Windows to the point where it says "No Updates Available". My system is new this year and it did update about a month ago. The DSO Exploit doesn't bug me, I just didn't know if it wasn't finding any bad things or if the DSO Exploit were the bad things. I guess I'm not currently being hacked? I think I'm pretty careful in that I do have all the protective measures possible and anti virus stuff I can without hindering me going into the net. Thanks for the explanation. I won't worry about it. K.C. Spybot I have that Spybot on my computer and whenever I run it, all it ever says is DSO Exploit - 5 Entries. Can someone explain this to me?
