Get "Not Responding" on Internet Options

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

When I make a change to Internet "Options", for example adding a site in the
Security / Trusted Sites tabs, When I go to apply or click "Ok" it locks up
on me and then I get "Not Responding" message. What happenned? Can I
reinstall IE? It is very frustrating.

Internet Options is a part of Internet Explorer, so problems
caused by hijacker trojans do affect Internet Options... that
is most likely just another symptom to add to the list
install the usual spyware removers and see if that will
solve that issue and post any result so we may learn
from your experience.

The first two should do it, if it does not, install the next three.

Hi Juan, Thank you for your input, most helpful. I ran the "Spybot S&D" and
found over 20 items.
I removed them and one came back over and over again... DSO Exploit keeps
coming back. I try to remove (using Spybot S&D) but it keeps coming back.

The Internet Options problem I had seem to be ok for the moment. Again
Thanks.

Greg

Try http://www.nsclean.com/dsostop.html to get rid of DSO Exploit.
Haven't tried it myself as I don't use IE. Since swithcing to Mozilla all my
spyware problems have gone away.

Thanks John,

I did download this program & installed it. I don't appear to have any
problems, but when I re-run Spybot S&D the DSO Ecploit shows up again.

Hi Greg:

The DSO Exploit is a stubborn parasite.. it keeps comming back again and
again.If my memory serves me right, I solved it by changing the registry key
entry it creates.. How to do it; In Spybot, go to Mode menu and change it to
Advanced Mode.. At the end of the scan, right click on the DSO Exploit and
select\More details\jump to location\change the key value to 0 (zero) then
go back and click on Solve the Problem. This seems rather illogical because
Spybot should do that, nevertheless it worked for me. I have the DSO Exploit
registered in Statistics as found five times and repaired twelve times, (in
Info & licence\Statistics) the last time was the 30th of July.. I guess I
gave Spybot a "helping hand" if I may say so.

Also go to Tools\Resident\and check on SD Helper and Tea Timer so Spybot
will intercept parasites as they try to infect your computer, and to protect
your computer from configuration changes parasites make. Also click on
Immunize to protect your computer from malicious web sites... Repeat it once
in a while particularly after you have updated Spybot S&D... (this action
adds malicious web sites to the Restricted Sites list in Internet
Options\Security....
