problems with ad-aware & spybot

spybot - i'm getting a dso exploit entry in my registry
that won't go away however many times i correct it

ad-aware (new version) - its picking up a file in aol AND in
mozilla that apparently is associated with iwon, surely this
isn't right? and if you try to delete it it hangs up.

anyone else have similar problems recently?

It's a problem with IE itself... There's nothing you can do
to sort it unless you fancy recoding explorer ;)

from windows, anyone fancy risking it?

Lifestep? A shell alternative to explorer.

You can stop explorer running by editing the reg directly..
This DSO thing is really nothing to worry about. Use a
decent browser -cough-firefox-cough-

I would suggest getting some sypware removal software.
McAfee has a good one if I remember correctly. Also have you
tracked down the offending file, ended it's proccess and
deleted it?

i completely switched to firefox yesterday cos of the exact
same DSO exploit, and i'm very happy with it so far.

Ner version of AdAware: 1.02
The spybot thing isn't an "exploit".
Try this scanner too

just search for mozz.dll and see what comes up... I've had
similar problems with files getting on my computer that
ad-aware couldn't remove, so I searched through google and
managed to find the solution...

just to let you know there is a new build of ad-aware that
has fixed this anomally, i.e. it doesn't show up anymore.
