thanks for all the replies. sorry for not getting back but virus prevents internet access.

a spyware program has discovered a registry key corruption (DSO Exploit) but it cannot fix it, or it keeps coming back.

I have tried windows ScanReg self fix, no good.

The spyware is found in HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\windows\current version\internet settings\Z

and we are running Windows ME

Can anybody help with a method of fixing the problem (in layman’s terms please!)
