marvellous programme. but spybot regularly finds something called DSO, which
alters five registry keys, which the spyware beta never notifies me about.
anyone know why not?

after being infected i cleaned out windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts to
leave only local host 127.0.0.1 and then made the file read only and that
hasn' been touched since.

however i think autoexec.nt has been corrupted, any advice on restoration?

False Positive. Known issue with Spybot Search and Destroy. Google search
will bring that fact up.
 
Because it's not a problem. SpyBot is giving you a false positive.

For your autexec.nt perhaps:

Error message when you start a DOS or 16 bit Program:

For the rest, as told, use the beta newsgroups.

As others have stated, SpyBot reports a false positive for DSO. You can set
SpyBot to ignore DSO in it's advanced mode settings.
