DSO Exploit
I would appreciate some help on this.
I have Spybot on my PC and it found something it called a "DSO Exploit". The problem is when I tell it to fix it it is unable to remove the five objects they always are there again when I reboot. The five objects are registry changes of some sort that I can tell.
The reason I ran this when I boot up my PC now the "Search Assistant" for the taskbar now always is checked and active. I also have a new tab in my IE called "Main Links". I am trying to find out why this is happening and remove/fix it.
I have Hijackthis and ran a scan. Here is the log file:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7

Ok, that would explain that then.
What about the "Search Assistant" always being checked when I boot up my PC. Even when I uncheck it and reboot it still gets rechecked.
There is also the "Main Links" menu on my Internet Explorer which showed up one day and I am unable to remove. The menu is to the right of the help menu.
Any help getting rid of those would be appreciated.
