Did you run CleanUp!?
That should have cleared your cookies, allowing Ewido a clear run at the more important files.

Clear Java Cache

  7. If it finds something, Select all those in RED and hit the Fix Selected Problems button.

If you keep getting the DSO Exploit entries, even after you updated Windows and fixed them, then download the Spybot DSO Exploit Fix and install it over the current Spybot installation.

Download, install, update, configure and run a scan with Ad-aware SE v1.06:

    3. Under [Alternate Data Streams]:
      • Don't log streams smaller than 0 bytes
      • Don't log ADS with the following names: [CA_INOCULATEIT]
  7. Click the ‘Tweak’ button and select in green:
    1. Under [Scanning Engine]:
      • Unload recognized processes during scanning
      • Scan registry for all users instead of current user only
    2. Under [Cleaning Engine]:

      • Include basic Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
      • Include additional Ad-aware SE settings in logfile
      • Please do not Select: Include Module list in logfile
  8. Click on ‘Proceed’ to save the settings.
  9. Click ‘Start’
  10. Choose 'Perform Full System Scan'
  11. DESELECT "Search for negligible risk entries", as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.
  12. Click ‘Next’ and Ad-Aware SE will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected and clean automatically.
  13. If Ad-Aware SE finds bad entries, you will receive a list of what it found in the window
  14. Right-click on the list and choose [Select All]
  15. Click the [Next] button to finish removing the items that were found
  16. When finished, REBOOT to complete the removal of what Ad-Aware SE found

This should help clear out all the junk, and allow us to concentrate on the more important things. When you have completed the above - please re run a new online virus scan with Panda, and produce the results in your next post.
