    - Getting certificate context properties Hi all, I am developing a small app in C++ and I need to list all the certificates in the system store, in a List View, like the one displayed in the CryptUIDlgSelectCertificateFromStore() dialog. I have successfully enumerated all the certificates using CertEnumCertificatesInStore() but I can't seem to extract all the bits of information from the certificate context, i.e. Issued to, Issued by, Intended purposes, Friendly name, Expiration date and Location. The only pieces of information I have been able to get so far using CertGetCertificateContextProperty() and CertGetNameString() is the Issued to, Issued by and Friendly name. Can anyone tell me how to get the remaining properties? Kind Regards, Chris Tag: Pop Ups Tag: 23509

    - NT Kernel trying to access net My firewall keeps telling me that "NT Kernel system may have changed since the last time you opened it. Do you want to allow it to access the internet?" And then when I backtrace it, I get this IANA place, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, who are these people and why is my computer trying to send them something? Is this a virus? Should I let it connect? Is it just trying to get an update? Why didn't anyone ever tell me about this? >???? :( Tag: Pop Ups Tag: 23497

    - NT server share ownership and permissions When an NT server share was set up, the group 'Everyone' owned the share. Hi All, The share has subdirectories that are not permissioned to the group 'Everyone'. Does this mean that if a user in the group 'Everyone' wants to change permissions on the sub-directories they have no permissions over they have to take-ownership individually (e.g. Owner = 'SheildD')? or Can the user change file and subdirectory permissions anyway because they are the owner of the share by being part of the group 'Everyone'? Thanks guys. Tag: Pop Ups Tag: 23476

    - Pop-Up Windows How does one get rid of pop ups. I get a lot of dating service, sex, reducing and loan pop ups. It is most annoying when I am in the middle of a letter or game and one of these windows over rides whatever is on the screen.It is also embarrassing to return to my computer several hours later and find a sex ad in the middle of my screen. I've been able to use the "My Computer...Add/Remove programs" on a couple. But, most of these new pop ups don't appear on the add/delete program screen (at least not in any form I can recognize) so I can't remove them. Where can they be found, haw are they recognizable from regular program items (ie. do they have a peculiar file extension etc.) and how do I get rid of them. If there is no easy way, is there a program that will do the trick. Tag: Pop Ups Tag: 23430

    - strange error We have about 5 NT machines that have been acting very strangly over the last few months. It started with one and seemed to "spread" to the others over a few weeks. I was checking the Event log on 2 of them, and they both have the same error several times in the same day, It read The browser has received an illegal datagram from the remote computer QA771C to name OUR_COMPUTER on transport Nwlnk. The data is the datagram. I replaced our computers name for security reasons. The remote computer had many different names, I counted 9, and it looks to be something like a port scan or something like that, because I have gotten this error over 50 times in under 20 minutes.

    - can i stop web page redirection ok. The problem: Some one changed a file in my IE program Files. Reason I came to this conclusion: First: my search page was changed from the msn search page to www.white-pages.ws. They did a good job too. When I went to click customize search it opened the same page in a new window; very clever. Solved this by downloading upgrade of IEv5.5 to IE v6.02 and blocking web page by putting in the restricted sites under Internet Options/Security Tab, restricted Icon. Second: I tried viewing a geocities.com site and was redirected to www.white-pages.ws. So I typed in www.geocities.com and the page came up. Now when I typed in www.geocities.com/ (note: added the back slash to indicate subdirectory) and it came up with white page ws again. So I went offline and deleted the temporary internet (all off-line content) and cookies then placed in the address bar www.geocities.com ... unable to pull up page off-line. I then typed in www.geocities.com/ and poof, the page shows up. I assume it is like the 404 Error page and I just don't know what the name of the file is. I had another website change that in a previous version IE. Questions: Is there a place where you can find out the name of these files or where they are stored? ie. 404 Error, Search page, and so on. Is there any way to stop web redirection? So that instead of being redirected to www.white-pages.ws.com it will ask or prevent the redirection. Is there a way to fix this problem, or is it a standard Window's reformat and reinstall issue? I thank you for your time. A response would be more than greatly appreciated. Tag: Pop Ups Tag: 23261

I like AdShield from www.adshield.org. The default settings work very
well to block scripted popups and if you want to take the time to
right-click web page ads or download someone's block list, you can block
a lot of the more popular ad sites as well. IE just redoes the page
without the ad or the ad frame shows a blank.

AdShield is a browser helper object and doesn't appear in add/remove
programs or in Downloaded Program Files (activex controls). Use a BHO
browser utility to remove it. Being a BHO means AdShield is efficient
and well integrated into IE. You have to enable third-party browser
extensions in Internet Options (on by default) to allow BHOs to be
installed.

All but two of the AdShield options affect only listed pages. But the
other two, "Block scripted popups" and "Block delayed popups" affect
every web site and can cause trouble. Block delayed popups disables
Windows Update, so put WU in the exclusion list if you use that feature.
