[search my HD]

Thanks for responding, BTW i use Firefox and Thunderbird on my WINXP-SP2 and i can't understand that reaction on my use of that modified driver for Audigy 2.

It must have bin being spotted on my disk and its true i used a modified driver.

How can i implement more security on internet use.

[search my HD]

How come that when on a website people can see the content on my hd.

What i mean is this: i use zonealarm+s&d+spywareblaster and no progs like messenger or icq nor do i use peer to peer .

Entering forums like thisone i do see often my ip-adres showed and also remarks like , there is a fault in my soundblaster audigy2 zs driver.

What do ido best to prevent all this spying.

[DSO-exploit]

With SP2 it seems that it isnt possible to remove DSO-exploits from the register.

I used S&D Spybot and it found 5 DSO in the HKEY USERS.

HKU\S-1-15-18\soft\mic\win\cv\IESettings\zones\0\1004=w=3.

This is one of them, with SFC Disabled they are comming back every time S&D removes them.

So my Q would be, is it save to delete those 5 DSO -exploits the hard way out of the register?

Afterall, those are in fact spyware.

[Cant run some installs on XP SP2]

You could check the Microsoft website concerning SP2.

There's a list of programs wich won't work properly with SP2.

[Disable DEP]

I found a solution myself.

Anyone with the same problem , edit Boot.ini

Remove "no" from the line "noexecution" and DEP is disabled.

[Disable DEP]

IN WinXP SP2 a new protection item is present in IE-Settings, called DEP.

DEP stands for Data Execution Prevention.

New processors do have a hardware type of DEP, mine isnt.

So it works by software to this moment and it does slow down my system to much.

My Q is how to disable DEP in de registry?
