    Spybot finds 5 DSO Exploit files on my machine and I click Fix the errors it does and tells me they are gone but when I run Spybot again they are back.I am going to try to track them down in the registry and then delete them manually.

    bluenose12 - DSO Exploit Discussed & Explained

    mattysmith1999 - I'm guessing your 'common hijacker' is pointing to a coolweb issue but that one is more complicated than I know how to help with. Probably be a response on your hijackthis log post (but that would happen quicker if the topic title there had described the problem you have).
