hi,
i downloaded spybot s+d a few mins ago, run the scan and fixed the few things it found. When i ran the scan again it found DSO EXPLOITS they had a green tick by them...

is this good or bad and what do DSO EXPLOITS mean???

I hope that helps

Also check the settings page of Spybot S&D, click "immunize" on the left side. On the right side look for a green check next to "All known bad products are already blocked" , then just below it "Browser Helper to block bad downloads is installed", and below that there should be a check in the box next to "Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer" and below that it should say "Block all bad pages silently."

:)

Edit: make sure that when you download one of these programs like Spybot or Adaware (strongly recommended) that you UPDATE it immediately, and with Spybot and Adaware and AVG free you have to update them about every 3 days or so, and use them no less than that. I try to use them every day when I sign off for the day. I also use MRUBlaster, SpywareBalster and Script Sentry, diagnostic tools at www.grc.com Leaktest, Dcomoboulator, ShieldsUp, all very good and free.
