    this DSO exploit is just a glitch in the software for which they are making a fix.

    It has been doing this for a little while now. see this http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19764 for a good explanation. Also, if you do not have adaware and hijackthis please download them from here...http://www.short-media.com/download.php?dc=69. there is an excellent explanation for the installation and setup for adaware and Spybot here http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14915 and you can find explanations for Hijackthis here http://www.spywareinfo.com/%7Emerijn/htlogtutorial.html. If you do not have Hijackthis please be sure to download it into its own folder such as c:\hjt or create a folder in my documents labeled Hijackthis and put it there. put it anywhere you want as long as you can find it again, but not in the windows downloaded program file or folder or any temp file or on the desktop as when used Hijackthis will make backups that can be used for restoration if needed. . As far as the mail problem, I would run my computers utilities such as scandisk and defrag , and see if your email program installed the repair utility and use it if necessary. If you still have programs post a hijackthis log here with an explanation of your problem by replying to your own thread.

    Perhaps a Mod can pin it?

    As Justlooking has pointed out , there is a fix for the DSO expolit but, the people at"Microsoftheads" continue to leave gaps in there programing...... as quoted here....

    Editors note: - SpyBot-Search & Destroy 1.3 Final MUST be installed before this update to work properly.

    The DSO Exploit is a security gap in IE. Microsoft did already repair this, so if you have all Windows updates and patches installed, it will not be dangerous for your system. Spybot S&D will still find it, because it contains an invalid value. Spybot S&D just has to reset that value. Unfortunately, in the current version, it sets again an incorrect value, so it is found in the next scan. Please update your main program. "


    I have everything up to date and it still reveals itself.. The patch does not work for all platforms and machines.
