Thank's for that info about dso exploit. After you told me about that spybot bug.
At first I thought it was my computer acting up. Then I went to spybt website http://www.safer-networking.org/en/contact/bugs.html
and it say The DSO Exploit problem is known and will be fixed with the coming update.
I was having the same problem with SPYBOT on my computer. Volcano11, you say that it should be fixed with the next update--so the problem isn't too big, right? I shouldn't worry about it?
Correct, if the only place you are seeing the dso exploit is in Spybot, it is due to a bug that gives a false positive. The Spybot forums say it will be fixed in the next update, but they may mean the next time they update the program rather than the definition files. I've seen the definition files go through a couple of updates and the problem is still there.
The exploit may be real, but the fact that the current version of Spybot detects it even after it removes it, is a well-known bug in Spybot. Read what I said, before posting you comment. The bug will be fixed in the next release - See the following:

That's a well-documented bug in Spybot. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next update. Right now you shouldn't worry about it.
