    - policty option "only run allowed windows applications" restricts everything No applications work when I implement the "only run allowed windows applications" option in a windows 98 policy. I've listed the full path to each app I want to run, but nothing runs. I even tried notepad and calculator by specifying their respective paths and executable names with no luck.

    - Invalid install parameters /q:u /r:n - MDAC 03-033 I can't believe these guys can't even get their installations consistent. Q fixes can usually be installed in Quiet mode (no user prompts) and without forcing a reboot by putting /q:u /r:n at the end. With this fix, the user must hit OK to do the install and a reboot is forced at the end - we have no control of how this install is done. I want to push this install blind (no user needing to be logged in) for unattended (shared, test, backup) workstations, and quiet for users (don't ask them to approve). Anyone figure out how to do this for this patch? Microsoft, you're just not getting better at this! What about your stated intent of not making patches force a reboot! Tag: pop ups Tag: 31796

    - Strange RPCSS activity caught by File Monitor Using ZAP firewall (135->127 blocked) and AVGP antivirus, all MS Updates applied. OS is registered Win98 1st. Also have AdAware & Spybot. None of these are indicating any security issues. However, my domain is having LOTS of static IP's scanned (ICMP ping) every few seconds - pings are blocked on all machines). I've previously implemented "UnPlug n' Pray" to turn off MS UPnP, too. Recently on one machine I had font for a few 3rd party pgms (old installs, until now been displaying fine for years) start showing blank square boxes instead of readable text (such as with the Spell Checker named WordWeb 1.51). Restoring backup of Fonts folder content and Registry didn't cure, so used File Monitor (http://www.sysinternals.com) to watch WordWeb and saw it try to use a font named MANGAL.TTF (probably installed from MS Update to support other languages in IE). Used Fonts Folder utility to delete it. Rebooted, no cure & no trace by File Monitor of what font it was trying to load for a replacement. But while monitoring with File Monitor this entry occurred: 6:51:18 AM Rpcss Read C:\BATCH\MOUSEMGR.DLL SUCCESS Offset: 20770816 Length: 4096 Interesting thing is I do have that BATCH folder (I created it years ago) but no such filename exists there or anywhere on any drive (does now, since I put a attrib +S+H+R dummy text file of that name in BATCH folder). But how could File Monitor have had a read success before I created that dummy filename??? I am seriously suspecting a security breach, but no luck in pinning it down. Anyone have some comments, ideas, etc.? Mostly Anonymous Tag: pop ups Tag: 31767

    - Critical Update Problem I have windows 98 SE. I first downloaded and installed the latest MS critical update MS03-017 (Windows Media Player)when it came out. This critical update continues to pop up on my screen every other day. In frustration, I downloaded and installed this critical update a second time (which is displayed on my download history). I would like to know what I can do to stop this download from popping up on my system. This critical update will even pop up randomly when I am surfing the web. The most frustrating aspect of this is that I don't even have Windows Media Player 7.1. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Tag: pop ups Tag: 31766

    - Wrong Java? Hello, When I want to go to a site with a 'build in chatroom', I can not log in to chat. It's not the wrong java version I think, because I don't get any errormessages from java. I simply can't acess the chatrooms. I can acess the site itself. I did install a couple of weeks ago the free version of 'Zonealarm' (firewall). I did forbid some applications to acess the internet and/or to stopped them from 'acting as a server'. I did then uninstall 'zonealarm', but I still find some traces in the registry and on my hard disk. It appears that not 'everything' is removed from my computer. Tag: pop ups Tag: 31749

    - IMI.1536.A "Dropper" - Different results and findings? I was performing a series of scans of my machine with various utilities, and an item was detected by Pest Patrol as being a "dropper". The name of the suspect entry was IMI.1536.A. I found that this is said to affect .EXE files. Specifically an Extract.exe file. Looking by Find F & F, I see that there are three Extract.exe's in C:\Windows.One is located in Windows\Command, the second is in Options\Cabs, and the third is in Windows\System. I scanned these (and the entire system as well) with AVG AV, Trend Micro AV, and Freedom Online AV - Nothing was detected. Spybot didn't find it either; not that I was expecting it to. Pest Patrol was the only program that detected this "dropper". Presently, I have "quarantined" this item, and have been doing some research. On the one hand, the "dropper" has a bad connotation. First it is *present* and detected for the first time ever; Second, it is attributed with "...In viruses and trojans, the dropper is the part of the program that installs the hostile code onto the system." That sounds quite unsettling. Symantec site stated Detected as: IMI.1536.A. Characteristics: Memory Resident, Triggered. Area of Infection: .EXE Files. OTOH, another site stated "These are not dangerous memory resident parasitic viruses. They hook INT 21h and write themselves to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed. "Imi.1536.a" infects EXE files only." "Imi.1536.a": "Hello! This is IMI 1.0b.When you see these words, you have been infected the IMI 1.0b virus.This is just for experiment.Please contact me immediately for cure. Fu-Jen U. E.E. Wilbur Dam.1993.4.8." I've not gotten this message as yet, but I've no desire to get it. So, can I safely rid my PC of this thing without affecting these Extract.exe programs? -- LuckyStrike LS@smokedamagedfurniture.youcandriveitawaytoday.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- Tag: pop ups Tag: 31714

    - My pc had intruder Since 9pm last night I have been working on my pc. It is 9 pm on 9/5. I used goback and system restore to return to a system restore I made at that time before I went to the web page link that I believe caused the problem. I have used Symantec on line virus checker and it found nothing. I have used WD diagnostics on my hard drive and it found nothing. This week I updated the Office XP updates and one windows critical updates before last night and there was nothing left to download. I just ran windows update again and found a modem driver update that I recall downloading about a week ago, 3 critical updates and two xp updates. My backup computer with xpPro had no updates to download. My computer appears to be rebooting and working correctly again. I got correcting scandisk to work on reboot and it reports no problems. I am calling my case closed, but I think the odds are that there will be others. Thanks A T Baehr Tag: pop ups Tag: 31701

    - w32 RPC warning in win98 I'm running on windows 98, which is not supposed to be affected by this new blaster virus. A strange thing just happened. I was on-line and a window looking like a typical windows dialog box popped up. It said "virus warning!!! W32 RPC Virus Detected. Click on OK to scan and clean." I was suspicious because I didn't think Windows 98 included virus scanning and cleaning software. Maybe clicking OK would have windows trying to access other virus software? Anyway, I copied down the message, clicked cancel, and proceeded to try to learn more on the internet. Everything I can find out says Windows 98 is not affected by this "vulnerability" as they call it. Was it a legitimate warning? What should I do? Thanks! Tag: pop ups Tag: 31698

Last night I clicked on the reference site link of http://www.geocities.com/stcommahatmaalgol1846/vfr/ and refused the request for a cookie. The site hung and did not completely load. I refreshed once, got the same, and left. Later I defraged and rebooted with a scan disk option. The Pentium 4 2.5 hung on a recycle at the end of the black screen. I rebooted in the safe command prompt and ran chkdsk without the f. It reported no problems and I rebooted and it worked and I got to a slower complete XP boot. I had updated live update and made a 3 hour scan yesterday afternoon (twin 120Gb), and all windows XP and Office XP updates are in. I rebooted again and got the recycle at the end of the black screen again. I safe booted to the command prompt again and ran chkdsk. This time I got errors in the master file record and a request to rerun with F. I did and was told it would happen on reboot. I rebooted and again it recycled at the end of the black screen without running checkdisk. I turned it off and went to bed. This am it started normally. Norton System Works disk doctor reports "Problems were detected on Drive C, they were not corrected" I have made a dos boot but my C is NTFS. Looks to me like there is another hole that needs fixing.

    - List of folders allowed to a user! Hello All, Is there a way (windows dialog interface or tool ) to get the hierarchy of allowed folders on ntfs to a specific user ? What I mean is to get a list like User : user1 folder allowed D:\inetpub\site1 RWX D:\inetpub\site2 RW D:\inetpub\site5\folder2 R I need this list to know what folders are allowed to a specific user, and what are his permissions. thanks a lot in advance.
