There is an update for Spybot that fixes the bug it contains regarding the DSO exploit.
For those running Spybot S&D 1.3 Final, it can be downloaded here.
Reboot after installing it.

    Thanks for the tip but here's a funny thing:

    I run the S & D "Tea Timer" app which is like S & D running in real time (I think). Anyway, whenever I go to Major Geeks website, I get this pop-up:

    Spybot-S&D has blocked the download of "Avenue A, Inc."!

    and it won't allow the page to load.

    So is Major Geeks passing out some spyware on us?

    BTW is this DSO update a S&D patch or is it third party?

    I don't believe it's a threat to you, but is probably something to do with AD banners on the page. I use Proxomitron and so all the AD's are blocked anyway.
    It is a patch from the Spybot developer's too :).

    AvenueA is a banner/popup advertising company that uses tracking companies. You may have heard of their main site, atdmt.com.
