I'm afraid to mention that the Spyboot tracked again the CleverIEHooker.Jeired & DSO Exploit (3 & 4 times)...now what????

[admin]

If you're planning to visit Athens for the olympic games mail me in order to give you a tour in Athens!!!!!!

Don't I wish! Are you going to make it to any of the games?

Just missed one. Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

The DSO exploit is a bug in the current version of Spybot S&D. We recommend Ad-aware, it's updated more frequently.

The spybot still detects the DSO but it seems that I get rid of CleverIEHooker.Jeired. I run the Ad-aware as you suggested me and after a few corrections my PC seems to be OK (that was the result of the Ad-aware). Thanks a lot for your help!

One last guestion: how safe is it to let you and everyone who enters this forum to know the exact condition of my PC (I refer to the above result)!!!!

THANKS A LOT!!!!
Waiting for your final answer and hope that this will be the last time I bother you!!!!

[dapnikola]

Yesterday you were answering in 5 of less minutes, where are you today?

PLEASE tell me if everything is OK now!!!

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

Congratulations! Your system is CLEAN

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use).

Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.
Link to SpywareBlaster: http://www.geekstogo...tion=show&id=12

It's also very important to keep your system up to date to avoid unnecessary security risks. Click Here to make sure that you have the latest patches for Windows.

These next two steps are optional, but will provide the greatest protection.
1. Use ANY browser besides Internet Explorer, almost every exploit is crafted to take advantage of an IE weakness. We usually recommend Firefox.
2. Install Sun's Java. It's much more secure than Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine .

It's okay to delete the Hijack This folder if everything is working okay.

After doing all these, your system will be thoroughly protected from future threats.

Yesterday you were answering in 5 of less minutes, where are you today?

Like everyone, somedays I have more time than others. Today a server problem made it difficult for anyone to access the site for a good part of the day.

One last guestion: how safe is it to let you and everyone who enters this forum to know the exact condition of my PC (I refer to the above result)!!!!

There's only good guys here! There's nothing in your post to identify you, make new spyware want or be able to seek you out. Don't worry!
