    - Odd problem with File Encryption Summary: Windows denies me access to my own encryped files, what could have caused it and how do i remedy it so i can access my files again?? Any help would be greatly appreciated I have encryped multiple folders with the built-in Windows XP pro encryption software (accessible from a file's properties). Without my knowlege of any changes, the encryption suddenly stopped allowing me access. I checked the certificate itself and it has not expired, and is quoted in the properties for the certificate as being "OK", it is present in my trusted certificates folder. When i attempt to request or renew the certificate with the same key it states that the certificate has no private key (yet in properties it says i have a private key, an odd discrepancy) (I also don't know where this "private key is or what it is) When I try to reqest or renew it with a new key it says "The Wizard cannot be started because it failed to contact the active directory" I only have one username on my computer and have not changed the username, how could i have lost access to my files????

    - Encrypt connection channel (Been reading other messages on this subject but could not find an answer, that is why I'm posting this. Please note, although I have posted to several groups, I've set follow-to microsoft.public.sqlserver.security in case I posted to where I shouldn't have, sorry if I have). Using + ASP.Net + SQL Server 2000 + Windows 2K Adv. Server. It is possible to encryp data that is exchanged between ASP.Net server in DMZ and SQL Server in secured zone? By that I mean securing all that data that passes though the firewall on port 1433 between ASP.Net and SQL Server. I guess there are two aspects to this question: 1 Encrypt the connection string that is used to make a connection, ie pass and ancrypted connection string from ASP.Net to SQL Server to make a connection. Does ADO.Net and SQL Server support this feature? 2 Encryption of sensitive sensitive query data that is exchanged between ASP.Net and SQL Server. By this I mean storing the data in cleartext, then have it ecrypted while it is in transition from the DB server to ASP.Net then have in decrypted back into cleartext in ASP.Net application. Is that possible? I suppse if either of the above is not possible then I will have to store the sensitive data into the DB encrypted and have it decrypted after reading. The problem with this method is that session keys cannot be used: the key used for encryption / decryption needs to be fixed for all time. Please help. Tag: pop ups Tag: 25153

Except as permitted under the Copyright Act of 1976, no part of this publication may be reproduced or distributed in any form or by any means, or stored in a database or retrieval system, without the prior written permission of the publisher. SIGNS YOUR COMPUTER IS HACKED/OWNED: 1. Hackers disable your Daylight Savings Time 2. The clock on the desktop can be one hour behind or one hour ahead on occasion. 3. Your Network Places Icon on the desktop disappears. 4. If using a Windows platform, when you start your computer, your original screen will pop up, but since the hackers need to boot into their server, the system will quickly re-boot and the original screen will appear twice instead of only once. Your system may re-boot twice instead of once when loading some OEM versions. 5. If your computer system occasionally re-boots on it?s own, again, the hacker may need to update their Hosts and Servers to make the computer system function properly. 6. If you play Yahoo Games, you may find yourself being kicked out of the board your playing in. What is worse is if your winning a game and your the host of the board, the hacker may kick you out and not let you back in. When a computer system is hacker proof, you will rarely get booted out of a Yahoo Game. When the computer was hacker proof I went back to playing games and haven?t been booted yet. 7. A browser you install to filter out or kill file certain individuals on the internet will not work for a long time. When your computer system is hacked, you aren?t able to filter out people in your browsers or email application for more then 1-2 days. A number of computer owners who?s system was hacked have advised me they had the same problem. Because hackers are using your illegally installed Hosts and Servers for posting to the internet, this is why you can?t filter or kill file them. This information was very apparent to myself and other ferret owners who?s computer was hacked. 8. When you begin to see Usenet remarks made on behalf of your personal life which is private information. 9. Some of your personal files are modified years before they were created, HA-HA-HA! Have seen a number of personal files modified 7-8 years before they were even created. 10. You find a number of files hidden/readable only which hackers seem to make their files hidden/readable only. 11. When you find a number of added information in your boot.ini file which relate to a Virtual Private Network . These can be either software, hardware or device driver oriented. A sample is presented later in this book. 12. Under Search for Files and Folders, you do a search on any file modified in the past month and you will see files which just don?t need to be modified or which you don?t even recognize. For the newbie, you want to focus on the file you don?t recognize. Unless your skilled and realize which files need to be present and modified running a Windows Platform, you won?t know what to look for. To perform the above you will need to see all hidden files and folders. 13. Select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network, and if you see one AOL adapter and have never used AOL. Two AOL adapters, two TCP/IP, two Dial-Up adapters, one or two Virtual Private Network adapters your computer could be hacked/owned. A Virtual Private Network is widely used by malicious hackers because it can host up to 254 users. "This applies to the average internet user who has one modem, one ISP and isn?t running any FTP, NNTP, Proxy, SMTP, SQL, Web Server". 14. Select Start, Run, type regedit, select File, Export, in the box type say 4-12-02.txt and select save. Then open this file with a text editor or word document and you might be shocked to find what really is installed on your computer system. Check the bottom of this file, hackers love to install a bunch of applications, Hosts and Servers files here. Will admit, when this was performed, I don?t remember if importing all the hackers registry files on the hard drive is what showed these results or if the registry was Windows original one. 15. You have to turn your computer off by the power supply on a some what?s regular basis. 16. Installing a Network Interface Card will cause problems until the hackers configure this device into the Virtual Private Network they setup. 17. You find your cd-rom drive open and close without your permission. 18. You could hear an annoying beep coming from your system speakers. 19. Your windows screen goes horizontal or vertical. 20. The screen saver picture changes without your permission. 21. On occasion your mouse is out of your control. This could also be caused by a corrupt mouse driver. 22. All of a sudden, your speakers decide to play you some music. 23. Installing a hardware or firewall for the first time can cause a number of different problems for you to set-up and configure. Considering you didn?t have these installed from the beginning of going on the internet. 24. Your firewall logs show alerts at 12:00 then 11:22 then 12:16 and back to 11:59. 25. If using a dial-up connection you see a number of pings, port 0 to your computer. The reason for these pings is so the hackers can see if your computer is active/alive. What the hackers actually do is port scan the Internet Service Provider Block of addresses and find your computer either with file sharing enabled or a Backdoor/Trojan.

    - Upgrade Security bit level from 40 to 128 Hello: Can anyone out there help this computer neophyte when it comes to downloading software from Microsoft, etc. You see, I can't access several web sites anymore because I lack the proper level of security. 40 bit security came with my computer from the manufacturer (compaq) Windows 98. Now I need to upgrade to at least 128 bit security from Microsoft, but I simply don't know what to do to get the job done - especially getting it done without any glitches! When I give instructions to download directly to the hard drive, the usual dumping in the tray scenario takes place, etc., and mission accomplished according to the screen. THE QUESTION IS...am I done? is the upgrade now on the hard drive and ready to go? Or, do I need to do something else to integrate the upgrade into the system? Where does or did it go and how do I activate it? Should I even consider doing the downloading via floppy disk - or is that not done nowdays? And even if I go that route, how do I go about doing it from A to Z? If any of you could help me with blow by blow instructions, I sure would appreciate it. Also, please be advised that I'm not computer savy or literate, but I can follow your lead if you tell me what to do in plain english. Thanking you in advance for any help and/or suggestions that any of you out there can provide me regarding my dilemma... Sincerely, Barney Tag: pop ups Tag: 25085

    - Spybot S & D - Security hole - regedit assistance Spybot S & D identified a security hole in IE > referred me to http://security.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-ie/ , which suggested the following change to the Registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0] Change the value of "1004" (DWORD) to 3. I'm loathe to do anything in the Registry unless I'm sure of what I'm doing and the HELP in Regedit is couched in terms which assume familiarity with the process and jargon, particularly re: "Changing Values". I've been able to navigate in Regedit to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0] but now I'm lost. In the right-hand box are 2 columns: Name & Data. The Data column beside "1004" reads "0x00000000 [0]. I see nothing about "DWORD" and HELP re: DWORD is completely unhelpful. It talks about "adding" a value with nothing about "changing" a value, and attempting to add a "DWORD" inserts a completely new Value with a temporary name. (I deleted the New value with beads of sweat dripping on the keyboard.) Even if I am supposed to use "1004" as the "new" name in the hope that it will replace the "old" "1004", what is the process supposed to look like to change the value to "3"? I'm quite lost. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Tag: pop ups Tag: 25061

The workgroup has many servers with different versions of Windows. (Win95, Win98, Win Me, Win NT4, Win 2000, Win XP and Win 2003 Server). Question 1. How do Servers in the workgroup choose the Master Browser from all of the servers with Computer Browser electrons and what does it depend on? Question 2. Suppose I have a server running Windows 2003 Enterprise server, Service Pack 1. Can I demote the existing Master Browser and promote this one? Because as we know Windows 2003 Server is more reliable.

There are two types of popups. One uses the 'messenger
service' included with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. To
rid yourself of these, install a firewall (see above).
The second type of popup is triggered by web-pages you
visit. These can be controlled by a popup stopper.
You can get one free from http://www.panicware.com

from Frequently asked questions.
