Help with spyware please.
I have recently downloded SPYBOT, and have run the Search and Destroy function.
Iniatially it found heaps of things, and I fearlessly (but maybe stupidly) deleted all of the things it found.
I have run it several times since, and it only finds one thing (5 items) called DSO Exploits?
Each time I delete this but it comes back each time, nothing else just DSO Exploits.
This is what it says about it..........
Company: Microsoft
Product: Internet Explorer
Threat: Security hole
Company URL:

Description
There's a security hole in IE allowing websites to execute code without asking you first. You can find more information at http://security.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-ie/
I also run Adaware and all it keeps finding, and heaps of times, is a thing called Data Miner, any clues on how to stop this too, please?

planemad2,
I want you to download Hijack This! and post the log file here. Do NOT make any repairs. (Hijack This! pulls up everything, including programs that are supposed to be in your computer.)
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. Have you loaded all the Security Updates from Microsoft, including SP2?

Hi Planemad,
Please download 'Hijack This!' from here, (Same site, but it narrows down the location of HJT for you) unzip, and place it in it’s own folder, (not in the temp folder, or on the desktop) doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a reply.
This will give us a rundown of what’s going on in your PC. One of us here will be glad to analyse it for you. Don’t fix anything yourself yet, as a lot of the stuff on that list will be harmless or required.
Cheers
Liam
