DSOStop Application

Post by Tami »

The "DSO Exploit" was first reported by GreyMagic Software of Israel on February 27, 2002 and a "workaround" for Microsoft's defective code was provided by Axel Pettinger and Garland Hopkins on March 3, 2002 involving the editing of the Windows registry to alter values contained within Internet Explorer's Internet Zones configurations. Because many computer users are extremely nervous (and justifiably so) about manually editing the Windows registry, owing to years of warnings and advisories as to the dangers of editing the registry, Privacy Software has provided this FREE utility to safely do it for those who do not feel confident running and editing "Regedit." We have, as we have many times before, provided this software for NO CHARGE to our customers as well as the general public to solve a serious problem as of the time of this release, and Microsoft is in their usual denial mode, not having provided a patch for a substantial amount of time. Since Microsoft won't fix it, we have.

Our free "DSOstop2" software will permit you to protect yourself without the need to pay a "resident geek" to fix Microsoft's problem for you. Simply run the program we provide, and it will check your registry to see if the existing settings are unsafe. If so, you will be advised to click the button on the next screen marked "Protect Internet Explorer". If you do so, then DSOstop will change the registry settings for you automatically and then you'll be protected from this exploit. If you choose "UNprotect internet Explorer" instead, those changes will be removed. Selecting this option will restore your PRIOR settings should Microsoft provide a patch and operation of "RUN Unsigned ActiveX controls" should "diminish your Internet eXPerience" as Microsoft calls it.
