skybot

When I run Skybot it always comes up with "ds exploit" as
a problem.

What is this please?

I'm not sure, but I get it too. I have a feeling it is picking up on a
windows component but as I say I'm not sure. I don't think it's anything to
worry about.

Assuming you mean Spybot, then it is a known problem.
If you are up to date with patches, then set Spybot to ignore it.

I hate having to guess. but I think you got two things totally screwed up.

You have Spybot and it declared a DSO exploit.

If so, it is a False Positive declaration. If I am correct, next time please post
"accurate" information next time.

I'm not sure it's *always* a false flag, but it almost always is. As noted, if
you are certain that your system is clean, then here's a suggested fix from
http://forums.aumha.org

If you would like to avoid this /false-flag/ being detected in the future,
open SpyBot in advanced mode, go to: Settings Ignore Products on the
"All Products" "Tab" scroll to "DSO Exploit" check that item only.
You're done, SpyBot will no longer flag this item.

You must be the type who has never made a mistake.
I do apologise but why waste your precious time replying.

Once is a mistake, twice in a query is stupidity.
If you ask for help, you MUST be accurate in defining the question to get the correct
answer(s).

Skybot Sbybot
DS exploit DSO Exploit

I hope you learned a lesson from this experience.

BTW: What is this supposed to mean "I do apologise but why waste your precious time
replying."
{ You seerm to make many mistakes ;-) }
