I 5 exploits being found by Spybot AND by Adaware. Removal does not fix the
problem - they reoccur after rebooting.
These have been found both before and after installing SP 2 on Win XP Pro.

Not sure if this is related or not but symptoms are, whenever I try opening
what was my start up web site thru Internet Explorer, that page refuses to
open. I get the standard Windows error: The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be
experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser
settings.

(I have verified with 3 other people that the page is indeed functioning)

All other pages open fine.

Any advice? This is frustrating! :-)

Hi Mayo,
No they are not related,the DSO exploit was patched some time ago and if you
have SP2 installed their is no need to worry about it,next time you run a
scan just add this to the ignore list.
Try running the registry edit on line 68 right side here

Reboot when done.
