Have users with XP and 98 workstations. We use the SpyBot app to find/remove spyware. This app find and supposedly removes DSO Exploit, but on next run, finds it again. Comments from other research says this issue is a security issue on either OS or browser and to update system. All systems are updated frequently, but the DSO Exploit continually is found. Work around is to tell SpyBot to ignore in future scans, but this doesn't sound good. Any suggestions as to why, what to do, etc.

If your up to date with all your updates DSO exploit shoulndn't be a problem. It's a bug within spybot that keeps finding it. But if it's in there here's removal Tool: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms02-047.mspx
I'd like to suggest using spyware blaster in conjuction with spy-bot, though not a removel tool it's more of a blocker thats stops spyware from attaching in the first place. I've had a great reduction of spyware using them both, not to mention reduction of spam associated with the spyware.
Good luck
