This exploit is a bug in Internet Explorer that under certain circumstances would allow untrusted software to run on the computer and could give hackers access to your system. If you are running the latest version of Internet Explorer and have all your Windows Updates installed, the bug has been patched and is not a threat to your computer.
If you are wondering why spybot is reporting a DSO Exploit. First, there is a bug in spybot at the moment that means it will always report this error. The bug will be fixed in a newer version of spybot.
DSO stands for Data Source Object. So a Data Source Exploit can be very severe when you consider your hard drive is a data source or pretty much anything else for that matter and can be accessed using a method called data binding. A DSO Exploit is where someone maliciously uses data binding techniques to gain access to material they are not meant to access. This was a bug in some versions of Internet Explorer, Outlook Express etc. the new versions no longer have this problem and I suggest you upgrade to these to avoid the bug.
live care is subject to fatel error 80004005 which even the microsoft techs in india cannot solve. problems in the net 2 framework. requirs a reinstall of you original system. once again bill gates has released an unfinished product on the consumer. calling this product a piece of shit is way too kind. this product should be rammed up the ass of bill gates.
I installed OneCare and my computer slowed down SIGNIFICANTLY, especially when I went online. Terrible programming, and DO NOT put this on a machine running anything less than a gig of memory. After the uninstall, my computer still ran slow, and I had to use another cleanup tool to completely rid it from my machine. To get back to normal, I suggest you also unistall any spyware or antivirus programs, then reinstall them. Sucks, but that worked for me after two days of torture.
my only problem is their update require a reboot, then re enter your hotmail name and password, which i forgot or misplaced, so go to forgot pass wood, after some funny letters they send the temp to a hotmail which i cannot open because no pass word, spent 4 hours trying, i agree don not buy, get macaphee at costco when subscription is up MS should stay with word and excel they are no good on new things. I stopped the entire school system from switching to vista until xp pro expires. Jack
I have had the same Issue with slow scans, Not only slow scans, but also telling me that a Trojan was detected but has not been quarantine, without telling me where it was detected or what cam I do to trace it.
Other Issues, This is my third time I have been talked into keeping One Care by the One Care team. But they had me install free AVG, PC Tools, and Lava soft along with the Live One Care. I tried that and the others security systems detected many infections which one care had failed to.
This system would be great but per your team I needed other third party security to make sure it caught all the malware out there. Should I even bother with One care and just USE the others that are effective and use less memory
Last time One of the one care Team spent over 4 hours with me on the phone taking my system apart and re-installing one care. Since he could not get it to work he had me install a new user on my system and transfer all my data over to the other user. What a mess. and its still a mess.
I have plenty of disk space and it uses an ungodly amount of memory at any time of the day, My system is slower than molasses. No I do not have any Mal ware , and scans are Green light nd clean. Why does this use so much memory at any time it is on , not only when scanning. This is a memory hog.
Since I Installed Live One Care backn in 05 I have had a endless strings of errors , Viruses, trojans, to the point nthat I have uninstalled it three different times. Fist Uninstall was because of viruses, then support adviced me to install three different free anti virus , I had the Free PC Doctor, Free Lavasoft, Free Spyware Doctor, I have earned a lesson, No More One Care Live.
Any Advice what program to use ?
I have 19 other posts on the same Issues over the past few years. LIVE or Dead One Care/
I am having problems as well. I have been on the phone with tech support to help me BUT, unfortunately I had to leave to go pick my daughter up when the guy was in the middle of fixing it. He had gotten onto my computer and did the clean up thing before I had left. He was supposed to call me back but still has not. The number they called me from tho is 1-971-285-3130. They do not speak very good english and it is a voicemail/answering machine that I always get.
Well would appear to me that many of the people reporting problems with it also say that they had to uninstall their other antivirus software to get it to work properly. Surely it should be ridiculously obvious to anyone that running two antivirus packages simultaneously is going to significantly slow down your computer ?!
Not only does each antivirus package have to intercept every byte of code being passed between the harddrive and the system cache, but they also will be both constantly monitoring each other and taking up RAM on startup. Its no wonder there are incompatibilities.
To the people who say onecare is poorly coded, its based on GIANT AntiSpyware which happened to be my favourite antispware at the time microsoft bought them out. That was coded in visual basic ! Microsoft have completely recoded it in C++ and there has been a massive improvement in the performance as a result. They havent runined it, its definitely got better. Personally I find Norton far far slower and more bloated than onecare, onecare is light in comparison !
for those having problems with OneCare Live either post install or durring install:
memory error, or OneLive can not open the only fix is remove the software using add and remove in the control pannel, then remove framework 2.0 or 2.1 updated version. go to microsoft webpage and search for downloadable version of framework. save it then run the install. do your windows update after a reboot. then re-download and install OneCare.
Please post back if anyone continues to have a problem after trying this fix.
the heck with live care, and windows firewall; zone alarm, avg,spyware blaster, spybot, mozilla, sun java, and blocklists with the host file are are better and more secure solutions to virus/spyware issues.
anything microsoft is picked on and hacked, via active x etc.to use IE is suicide!
Hi There,
As an inexperienced computer user, I have to say that if it messed you guys up, it must be pretty bad!I had been about to install Onecare until I happened on this site. Thank you all very much.Is there anybody out there who can say that any fre registry cleaner is trustworthy?, how about an anti virus programme?
Can anyone tell me how to check if my Netopia Eircom Router has the firewall turned on? Whatever about that, everytime I turn on my laptop I get a message that the Microsoft firewall is turned off. Then I turn it on but next time I start the laptop it is just the same, it has been trned off again,
Thanks a lot
My Live One Care story is a very sad one.To be very brief, my problem with the installation started on February 25 2008 and, after being bounced like a yo-yo between the China (or Taiwan) and India Support Offices I ended up with a continuously restarting system.I had given them control of my computer!
I had to take my system to a professional for repairs. It cost me $150 and I want to claim this from Microsoft. My question: to whom should I write?
I finally managed to correspond with a Microsoft Customer Supoport Engineer and apprise him of my problems (see my earlier e-mails) and the deplorable support (!) I had from their people in China and India. His snobbish response was that if he had been contacted he could have helped me. And no way will they compensate me for the $150 it cost me to fix my systems. I told him Microsoft could use this money to teach their support people basic manners.
Somebody should tell Bill Gates or teve Ballmer.
One care works very well. In fact Im looking for the product key to keep it running. It blocks out the viruses very well. I dont understand why u guys are having so many problems. Have a expert friend look at your machines good luck!!
Yes doods! I have my great experience in geeting up this ONECARE,of all the anti virus I tried, onecare is very powerful tool that capture all problems that arises with in your pc. Installing was not a problem on my part, So, guys take and grab a copy of ot now.
I loaded it on two computers. After installing, BOTH computers crashed. I was able to resurrect the Sony with Windows Professional XP but the Dell D 600 with Home XP might be a total loss. Microsoft technicians out of the Philippines refused to service the free version and denied any responsibility.
I was a long time user of Norton and McAfee. But I gave up on both
because they kept failing to detect and eliminate viruses that would brilng my computer to a halt. At the time the only thing I got that would detect and eliminate the virus ilnfections was AVG by Grisoft.
I first tried Windwos Live One Care on a free for 90 trial and then purchased it at a discount for $10. That was three years ago and I have been problem-free since then. I delighted that the one purchase covered my two desktops and one laptop computers.
I have used Windows Live One Care, it is awesome. It keeps my computer tuned, backed up, and catches trojans. Have never had a problem with the install. I will truely miss this wonderful program. I have it on three of my computers.
i just had a power surge at my local and had to take my computer in, well when i got it back Windows One was not in the programs, being the bright person i am, i pulled out the installation disc. no go, 4 times no go. went to their web site onecare.live.com and lo and behold i found out that it is not being sold any more, but the people that have it will continue to be covered. what a laugh, i have recently bought another anti-spy/anti-virus guess what is in and running as i type. if the next issue payment shows up on my credit card, i think that i will go a bit Irish all over their A**&&& and get my money back in full.
