if you can plz help me.

also whenever i run spybot search and destroy. something comes up named DSO exploit. it always comes up and labeled as a registry change. thank you for listening to my problem

Before going any further, please read this thread.

If none of these suggestions help, then ask for assistance. It's more rewarding to help yourself than have someone do all of the work for you!

i understand what you mean but i have most of the programs that protect me from this. i've been searching for solutions to this problem. the main problem is HiJackThis logs change from person to person i have some file that i've seen before on a few others that resemblences to mine but not very close. i dont know the exact date the problem occured but i think it may be building up files. i've been wondering if i could be helped in fixing this problem

Understood- HJT logs can be very specific.

If you haven't already, please use Windows' Automatic Update facility to make sure that your system has all of the lastest critical security patches and bug fixes installed; that may very well solve the Data Source Object (DSO) exploit issue.

ok well i have all updates except for a few not needed programs. i dont believe that DSO exploit should be to much of a worry. i'm not sure though so. On my other problem i tried a few solutions. like many other people it comes back after rebooting. please help me if you have time to spare to help me. Thank you

I remember reading someplace that when SpyBot barks about DSO exploits, it has to do with your ActiveX settings in the Internet Options cotrol panel being too "loose". However, I've also read that the DSO warning is either a bug in SpyBot itself, or is triggered by some bug in IE and/or Windows code. You can read more about it in this Google search.

Have HJT fix the following entries and see what happens:

Reboot, and then:

Have the View option in Windows Explorer set to show all hidden and system files
Empty all Tempory Internet folders
Clear your cache and cookies
Find and delete the entire WildTangent folder
Find and delete the C:\install.cab file
Find and delete the C:\WINDOWS\System32\eegndl.dll file
Empty the Recycle Bin

earlier before you posted i went to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showtopic=942 and i followed the directions told by daemon at the bottom of the page. it fixed my system. after several hours it hasnt come back no files come up with searchs from ad-aware, anything odd in hijackthis, and also spybot search and destroy. the only thing i havent been able to fix is the DSO exploit. if my problem comes back i'll post again and wait for advice. thank you for all yall's help. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Whatever the reason for DSO exploit warning in SpyBot- from my experience in using the program, it almost always comes up, and I'm not really convinced that it indicates anything nasty in particular either. I want to research the issue further to get amore definitive answer; when I do I'll post the particulars....
