| 348652 | 2005-04-25 18:14:00 | I gave spybot up as a dead loss a few months ago. But because people keep reccomending it I decided to give it another try. I downloaded the latest version. I have run it for the last week. Everytime it finds the same thing. "Error during check winpup 32 DSO exploit 5 entries" Click on repair and it reports "No problems fixed" What's wrong with it??? Why do people reccomend it all the time???? |

| 348653 | 2005-04-25 19:20:00 | if I recall correctly winpup is a trojan..........get a good A/V and kill it...... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 348654 | 2005-04-25 19:21:00 | you could also try your scan in safe mode wiht both spybot and your A/v | drcspy (146) | ||
| 348655 | 2005-04-25 20:00:00 | I'm not 100% enamoured with it either - each time I do a scan (about once every 6 weeks) it finds a particular legit app that I run and it destroys it, without any prompting. So I have to reinstall it each time. Grr. | Greg (193) | ||
| 348656 | 2005-04-25 20:34:00 | And DOS exploit is a bug in 1.3 of Spybot. Get the 1.4 RC1 version whatever is out now. If u have the latest version, go into advanced mode, I think it is, and tick DSO exploit so it doesnt come up again. |

It is more powerful than adaware, but nearly as user friendly. Be sure and look carefully through each of the entires that Spybot finds before clicking "fix all".... :) |

| 348660 | 2005-04-27 00:50:00 | Thanks hcetrepus. Tweake - the programme is "considered" spyware, but is something I want and need running. Anyway I'll look into the settings more carefully when I next run it. |
