Spybot

Question

I am a newbe and know nothing about computers. My machine was starting up and running extremely slow.  A friend talked me through downloading Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware SE.  These two programs really helped up the speed in both areas, but I have 1 item that Spybot can't erase and I've can't seem to find a way to unload this virus. It is DSO Exploit. When it is highlighteed it says ------     Data source object explort      HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Software\Mircos Can anyone please tell me what this is and how to get rid of it? I'm afraid of useing my computer for fear of sending this 'something' to somebody else. Thanks, Dopy

Hi:

No need to worry- that is a bug in Spybot which does not represent
a security threat. Just ignore it.

I believe the latest update for Spybot corrected this- at least I don't
get it anymore. Try updating.

The latest 'beta' version cures it. We need to wait for the live update yet for normal people.
