    I just downloaded Spybot and ran it and it cleared off all but one of the found files. For some reason, it can not get rid of a program called DSO (data source object) Exploit. The info says that it is a security hole in IE. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any advice for what to do?

    Thanks,
    Wazlo!

    Not to worry...it will be fixed in a future release of spybot, but for the moment, it's not really a problem. Read more about it here:

    Wow. Thanks. That link provides a ton of information. I wish I understood more of it. I think I'll just wait til Spybot comes out with a fix. It doesn't sound like anything serious. I was just being careful with my new baby.

    Thanks again,
    Wazlo
