387305 2005-09-10 05:18:00 Hi there

Despite having a current version of AVG7, E Trust Pestpatrol & MS Antispyware, I am suffering recurring infections of the above popups. All three programs have current databases and are run daily)

When I run Spybot & AdAware I get.
DSO Exploit
CoolWWWSearch
Coulomb Ltd. Contant Access Plugin
MyWebSearch

So, how do I get rid, prevent reinfection.

Thanks..............John in Mosgiel.

387308 2005-09-10 06:27:00 DSO Exploit is a bug in Spybot - Not spyware/adware or anything else.

Update Spybot if it hasnt been update fully or update it to the latest version.

387310 2005-09-10 11:09:00 i think the thing here is "reinfection".

firstly how fast before it reinfects? straight after reboot or do you need to go onto net first? if you get reinfected striaght after reboot then you proberly have the parent file loaded somewhere, most likly in a temp file location. clean out all the temp folders.

if only getting infected after going onto the net then its most likly coming from a web page you vist. patch your pc and be more carefull on what you click on. also a non-IE browser helps. they can also come from a "favorite program" which you keep reinstalling.
