My brother downloads all this stuff for the PC to have a theme and all this stupid things 3- File name: pdqsZqttask. I hope whatever answer you give not be so obvious I'd look bad.
LOL Although being not good at solving these type of things, I may. The hacker can get almost every piece of information he wants to get from the remote computer, including passwords, confidential messages and other information. This trojan can also cause several system changes that can make the infected system work improperly. Alternatively, as indicated by your Norton scan, this file could be a part of N[ew]DotNet adware. The point being, that LSP's must be handled very "delicately" if removed improperly, there is the potential to sever your internet connection.
At this point, I would [again] recommend you follow the directions I included above, to generate and post a HiJackThis log Id have to do the Hijack from another computer. Some of the things you said about the Hijack in previous answers I cant understand. Download and post on the same sentences. What is Hijack? I saw something entering the forums here, but thats about it. Can I download it on a Mac? I know it sounds stupid, but maybe I dont need a Windows PC for this particular task?
ZIP or. ZIPped version onto your PC], then click-on and run the. EXE-version on your PC. Log , or HiJack. I hope things are clearer now Post Reply.
If so, you can eliminate the hassle of removing the exploit again and again in Spy Bot by doing the following:. I should mention that this vulnerability in Internet Explorer has been corrected. The problem comes from a bug in Spy bot Search and Destroy. It seems that the DSO Exploit may still be reported even though you have removed the exploit; it should be noted they are working on this issue and will have a DSO Exploit fix soon. Logfile of HijackThis v1. Can some one tell me a manual removal or product to get rid of it please?
Still having in my system that pest Check for updates with spybot. Do you have the latest version? If you still have the warning come up DSO , try the spybot forums as this has been a recent problem with spybot. Spybot also gives you their full paths, so it's easy to find them. I did changed to 3 the value of DSO in the entry, but spybot stills find it.
No it is not evil! Thanks for letting us know Make sure you have a backup before attemting this procedure. This will open registry editor and go to the correct registry entry to modify. As stated in the article, there is no need to do that. All you need do is make sure IE is up to date, and then ignore the warning in SpyBot, until SpyBot is updated to fix it.
I have done just that, with no ill effects. If deleting the entry can cause problems, what would those problems be? Could you please give the exact details of any problems this has caused for you, or others, that you know of?
I am confident that you have the answer for this querry. Thanks for your time, and I am looking forward to a comprehensive explanation. I never said it would harm anything.
As Leo says, as long as you are fully patched there is no need to concern yourself with the DSO exploit. When set to a DWord value of 3, this setting is disabled. Microsoft released a patch some time ago addressing the problem which was also included in Service Pack 1 As well as Service pack 2. From my understanding, whether disabled or not, or if you have even deleted this entry, as long as you are patched there will be no adverse affect to your PC.
Again, as Leo says, as long as you are patched, you can safely choose to ignore the error. If it annoys you to see it turn up in the scan, tell the scan to ignore it or modify the registry to correct the problem manually, but there is really no need.
If there is anything that you know of, or that you find out in the future, that could cause a problem as a result of deleting the entry, could you please post it here and let me know.
DSO exploit is not spyware. As I understand things Harry, the DSO exploit is more like a back door in the Windows operating system, that has been left unlocked. As I have heard here, there is a patch that puts a lock on this back door. I myself chose to delete it altogether. L9 Ron. This may be a stupid question but how do I know I have IE updated with the latest patches! All this advice hinges on the fact that staying up-to-date with patches will solves the problem.
This is untrue. I am running XP Pro service pack 2 with all patches and am infected by the CWS aka about:blank about once every hours. It is cleaned to a high degree of confidence with a cross check of several programs ad aware, spybot, and manual removal only to return with a DSO exploit and a reinstallation of all the malicious registry keys.
I am not running antivirus or a firewall beyond the XP because I am trying to deal with the problem on a more fundamental level at this point. Rather than plug the dyke, I want to fix the hole. All the info you want on dso exploit is there. Keep in mind, Microsoft has a fix for it already, but for those of you who keep worrying….
I have purchased adware, spybot, spyvest, and desostop2, and all have identified the problem, and some are saying they have deleted the culprit. However, when I open up IE my home page web site still wants to go to the promptview. Can someone show me how to get rid of this thing, or point me to the person who did it, so I can personnaly ring that jerks neck. I know the CD works, cos it worked perfectly on my machine. Is DSO exploit responsible for this, if not can you tell me what is.
That message happens when a program misbehaves, typically due to a bug in the program. What to do will depend on what program you were running at the time, or the program that should have been mentioned in the error message. All this advice of not to worry is complete junk! Are you in a relationship with Bill? DSO Exploit is a problem for anyone whom thinks it is! Stop posting patronising advice and just deal with it or go talk about something else. Example how great you think Bill and his rubbish IE really is.
Leo poor show! After updating IE to the latest set of patches, folks using Spybot Search and Destroy may continue to see reports of the DSO Exploit as being a vulnerability on their machine. This is an acknowledged bug in Spybot Search and Destroy. Check out the link to the Net Integration Forums listed with the article above. Or, as others have suggested you can use another browser.
Buster does a good job of fixing About. However, my best advice matches the comment Leo made — switch to Mozilla or Firefox. I happen to use the Mozilla suite as I use it for email as well as browsing, and Mozilla has a Quick Launch feature that makes it open browser windows even faster than IE because it preloads like IE does — a feature not yet available in Firefox.
I work as a tech support agent for MSN. I deal with spyware calls for at least 10 hours a week — and CoolWebSearch is the nastiest one of all. I have all my ie patches installed and up to date running XP and IE. BUT this week I started getting popups. Oddly enough this exact same set of circumstances happened to a coworker this week.
Anyone have any thoughts? An interestingly riveting read. I just got my cable internet installed with Cox. I talked with the guy who installed it about this exact subject.
