Bonifacia:

You don't 'delete' but 'fix problems' in Spybot and when you do, they get
backed up, so you can recover them.
You also have the chance to 'immunize', if desired.
Have fun.

Hi,
Regarding DSO Exploit: If you're current on updates for IE and windows, this
is a false flag by Spybot. See
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/36.html

You can have Spybot exclude it. Open Spybot in Advanced Mode, go to
Excludes, check DSO Exploit.

Or there's a (registry editing) fix at
http://www.pchell.com/support/dsoexploit.shtml or a free program at
http://www.wilders.org/downloads.htm >>> dsostop2.exe.

For HuntBar:
http://www.pchell.com/support/huntbar.shtml
http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/HuntBar.html

Hope this helps,
Don

I stand corrected in your assumption.
