SpyBot question

[Huub]

Hi,

I'm using SpyBot and AdAware for detection and removal. SpyBot recently
detected a DSO(?) leak in IE 5.5 SP2 and instead of removing it, it was
checked green. Despite running SpyBot several times after, it wasn't
detected anymore.
Any advise?

Thanks

Huub

Hi......Do you have your Spybot S and D set to "automatically fix problems"?
After a scan, any problems are in Red. If you check it to be fixed, then
the checkmark will be green. Actually, I don't think it's a good idea to
automatically fix problems. Best to check it out, and make sure it's
something you want "fixed". Some of those "fixes" could cause problems
with programs you want to keep. Do some research in the forums first.
