Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) DSO Exploit

I was thinking the EXACT same thing yesterday, Janggut! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />




Nice to hear something from you Lady Rain, and tell you what? My koppie raas ook zo veel! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I hope you get some time to relax, because you are working too damn hard for such a lovely girl like you!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
And btw, good luck on the house buying stuff, I hope the gasoline is not that expensive in SA? You need to drive around soo much, mostly just for a piece of paper <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

glad to know u're all ok though not as sane as desired, Lady Rain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

& talk about DSOs, Ube, have u updated windows in your pc? as far as i can tell, those update patches & stuff from microsoft does plug the DSOs which spybot s&d later on will report as gone.

otherwise, firefox is good enough to run without all that IE risks.

hope u'll find a nice house with nice surroundings, Lady Rain. u take care, ok? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> maybe u should take some tips from mister vacation himself - Spick, on how to take things easy though it seems impossible to take so many vacations in one year! that bloody brit is so lucky! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

We have found a house.... just waiting to get the bond approved <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

And yes, windows updates USED to take DSO's away, but for some reason with the latest updates, the came BACK <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> (or more accurately SP2 took the DSO's away, and the updates after 1 Jul 2005 brought them back (not sure which one)))

The DSO exploits dont only work on IE (althought they are IE based). They also affect Media player. If you know how, you can actually exploit media player(DSO) to browse other computers over the internet(or gain info on that computer).... now THAT is scary).

I am currently looking for new work Jaggnut... so hopefully the new one will include 12 holidays a year.

Erm... It seems removeing the 1004-values didn't remove DSo after all... It's still there, despite the lack of 1004-values...

hmmmmmmm i just restored mine and removed it again... just to check... and mine goes away with that.... hold on *goes and ramages around in search of a professional answer*

Spybot-Ubs ready DSO removal tool

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

found a easy answer for you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Just a little info on that file :

Spybot MUST be installed before this update to work properly.

The DSO Exploit is a security gap in IE. Microsoft did already repair this, so if you have all Windows updates and patches installed, it will not be dangerous for your system. Spybot S&D will still find it, because it contains an invalid value. Spybot S&D just has to reset that value. Unfortunately, in the current version, it sets again an incorrect value, so it is found in the next scan. Please update your main program.

Thank you my lady, you're an angel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Keeps getting errors when I chekc for problems and tab out though...

Glad you could get it working again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

THe errors sometimes happens.... it happens when spybot gets an attack... next time you run it, it should be fine again, it fixes itself.
