Annoying spyware keeps appearing repeatedly

Hi! 

If all your critical updates are installed you are protected against DSO Exploit and the finding in Spybot is just a nuisance. Eliminate this by doing the following:

1 Open Spybot and select 'advanced' mode.
2 Select 'settings' in the left column.
3 Select 'ignore product' in the left column.
4 Select 'security' tab.
5 Place check mark in box beside DSO Exploit.
6 Close program
7 Open Spybot and run a scan.

You will find that DSO Exploit has been eliminated and if your computer does not harbor any other spyware you will see a congratulatory message.

For some reason the registry entry of that spyware was not yet deleted so it keeps on coming back. I suggest you to use "Malwarebytes" to do the spyware removal. You can download it for free on their site.

After you install it, just perform a quick scan. Then download "ccleaner" to perform registry check on your system, Perform a registry check using "ccleaner" and click fix reported issues to fix registry problems.
