    - Question on microsoft cd's and piracy A person that I know works on computer part time and sells used computer systems. I know for a fact that he is using one version of windows 98 se for many used computers he is selling. When he gets a computer in that needs the hard drive formatted he will put the same version of windows that is on it, back on but he will not use the persons windows disk or there product key if they do not have one. Say a person gets a computer at a yard sale for 15$ and he needs windows 98 re-installed are you telling me that I have to charge 50-100$ for a new windwos cd? It is no0t hurting anyone by him using his windows cd and key for re- install use. If they want to upgrade then they need to buy a cd. Please e-mail me with a reply. Thank you for reading my questions. David Tag: MS03-033 vs MS02-040 Tag: 30509

    - MS03-032 not setting proper security controls as advertised Running the patch on 98, 2000 and XP wkstns and only a few of the security settings are changed. For example, Internet security option should be changed to "high" after the patch is installed, but does NOT change from "medium." This is just the biggest issue of a few that don't change. Whats the deal? Tag: MS03-033 vs MS02-040 Tag: 30504

    - IAS Server Hey all, I am currently using IAS to authenticate our VPN connections from our PIX. I added another client (my backbone switch) to the IAS and another Access Policy. When I try and authenticate myself from the switch, it does not let me pass unless I change the order of the 2nd policy specifically for the switches and put it first, then it lets me logon. Is there any way I can use more than one client and multiple access policies to isolate each client to a specific policy. thanks all, Michael Tag: MS03-033 vs MS02-040 Tag: 30492

    - C2 Lop Toolbar Back in July, my XP Home Edition system got hit by C2 Lop hijackware. I've managed to rid my system of everything but the toolbar which has been added to my desktop. I'm looking for suggestions to rid myself of this. Please note: 1.The version of the hijackware that hit me DID NOT place an icon in my systray or appear in Add/Remove. I got the really insidious version. 2. By using SpyBot S&D and eliminating all Windows Registry keys which matched a random string the hijackware had added to my "Tools" in IE, I've managed to eliminate everything but the toolbar, which appears on every startup. 3. I've tried every piece of advice about this I've found on the internet (doxdesk.com, drivingwithdawn.com, etc.) EXCEPT downloading an uninstaller from C2. I REFUSE to do this (A. SCREW them, B. I'm supposed to trust these guys?). Any advice? P.S. I'm not a computer expert. I would really need step, by step, by step, by step instructions. Believe me, it was scary enough screwing with the registry (which I didn't even know existed before this). Tag: MS03-033 vs MS02-040 Tag: 30484

    - Sniffing submitted webpage form I am trying to find out what a web browser sends in a post request to a web site. I have used a few packet sniffers but all the packets that display comprehensible text are packets coming from the website. If I search in the packets just before the one showing 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK...', I can't find out what the url and post arguments the browser used. Is this info encoded? The connection is not using SSL. Anyone can recommend a sniffer that shows packets from my computer to a web server in *text*. Or my basic question is how to sniff the contents of a web page form submitted to a web server? -- Karim Recommended host: http://www.cheapesthosting.com - Affordable hosting since 1998 Tag: MS03-033 vs MS02-040 Tag: 30446

These are the ONLY popups I receive during off-line operation. Doesn't matter if I'm on-line or not -- they just come regardless of what I'm doing. Norton, SpybotS&D, adaware, normal maintenance have no effect. Vendors claim they are coming in through hole in MS Messenger. How to prevent/disable?

    - Help: Windows XP Pro certificate store has a strange cert that may be bad or damanged I have been working on getting activesync to Exchange 2003 working and was therefore verifying certificates when I noticed that my XP client to which I had a partnership had 3 very odd certificate folders. The three folders are after "Certificate Enrollment Request/Certificates" and have ASCII characters and Kanji (spelling?) characters intermixed. This made me start looking through all my certificate folders and I noticed some odd ones. In the Certificate Enrollment Request/Certificates there is one named "FZkC37K9xRLk8364" which reports that is either tampered with or corrupted. I have attached just the public key to this cert (although I have both the public and private in the request). Is my cert-store damaged, or is there something malicious going on? My machine is Windows XP and is in it's own workgroup, although it often communicates to a Win2003 DC.

    - Unexpected System Shutdown Recently the W2K server -well patched- had two unexpected system shutdowns. The only trace is the entry in the System event log with Event ID:6008. It could not be power related; the other machines sharing from the same power source did not reboot. Could it be a hidden worm, or a new attack?

If I click on the "Sign in with a different email address" link I get a screen full of garbage; I've cut&pasted that screen at the bottom of this message.

    - Patch Test Procedures? I couldn't find this somewhat obvious question in my searches so I'll just ask: I'm looking for a patch test methodology to follow for my Microsoft patches. Everyone says to test patches before deploying them to my 100+ Microsoft servers - how do I do that? How do I make sure (for example) that every part of my branch Win2K server's DHCP service works correctly? Is there a list of functions to test? TIA for your help!

    - Hacking/illegal use of e-mail account Several months ago I was reviewing the list of blocked users in Outlook Express. I was surprised to see my own address among them, and removed it from the list. The next time mail was received there was a very disturbing porn related email sent. The sender, according to the address shown, was me! At the time it appeared that somehow my account or address had been hijacked or pirated, but there was nothing I had read to support the idea. Recently, however, an article appeared in our paper supporting this possibility. Unfortunately the article didn't explain how to detect or remove the problem. The easy solution would be to simply remove the e-mail account and set up a new one, but I want to know conclusively if my account was used illegally to forward crap to other people. Thanks to anyone taking the time to read this and respond. Tag: MS03-033 vs MS02-040 Tag: 30348

    - MBSA and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation I am using Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 1.1.1. When I am checking security update of Windows NT 4.0 Workstation nothing about very important critical security patch MS03-026 (Q823980) is displayed. I have found out that in mssecure.xml file that contain information about all updates there is information that MS03-026 is applicable only on Windows NT 4.0 Server and not on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. Is there any possibility how to force MBSA to display all needed patches for Windows NT 4.0 Workstation? I mean to get correct MSSECURE.XML file. Does anybody use MBSA for scaning Windows NT 4.0 Workstation? Thanks Tag: MS03-033 vs MS02-040 Tag: 30337

    - Disappearing website access Starting Friday pm I began having problems accessing various websites -- for example, I could get to Hotmail but could not access mail -- could get to ebay opening page but could not access my accounts -- etc... -- now I can't get to Microsoft directly (came thru a link) or Symantec -- page keeps timing-out with a "page not available" type message. It seems to be getting worse the last 24 hrs. This is my idea how a worm/virus would work but have a firewall & Norton Antivirus -- nothing shows up on scans. Any ideas where to look or what to do? This forum seems to have some very good information & hopefully someone can help. Thanks Tag: MS03-033 vs MS02-040 Tag: 30335

We have applieed MS02-040 on some servers (W2K Server SP2)
a while ago. Included in this patch (for MDAC 2.5) was 1)
odbc32.dll (3.520.8721.0) and odbccp32.dll (3.520.8721.0).
Then we installed Windows 2000 SP3. We have now an issue
installing MS03-033 (which supersedes MS02-040) on those
machines already patched with MS02-040. Because the
version-number of odbc32.dll and odbccp32.dll is higher in
MS02-040 than in MS03-033: odbc32.dll 3.520.6300.40,
odbccp32.dll 3.520.6300.40, the MS03-033 patch failes to
install.
