    - need help in virus scanning Hi all. My ISP offers pop3 (or whatever its called)-But I hardly use the email account I have with them to access email. The email address that is linked to this account is on our web page. But I have not given that out to anyone. I have a yahoo address that I have on the business card if anyone wants to email us something. Anyways, I got an email in outlook express with this ISP address from someone else who has the same ISP address. I am afraid to open it.It has a paper clip next to it so I assume it is an attatchment. I right clicked on the properties and it is 36k in size. I did not open it but saved it to my desk top and rt-clicked on it to scan with avg. Nothing was found. Then I scanned it with an expired norton 2002 and nothing was found. Am I doing the right thing by scanning it this way and is it accurate and safe to open it since the results came back negative. Of course I updated my AVG prior to scanning. is ther an easier way to scan email prior to opening them. should i open this one? please help Tag: KB828028 Tag: 47176

    - GatesSpeak by the bucket load Remarks by Bill Gates, Chairman and Chief Software Architect, Microsoft Corporation RSA Conference 2004 San Francisco, Calif. Feb 24 2004 "Microsoft was founded with a vision that software could do some amazing things" "I'm going to give you an update. It's not something that's a completed work, because not only Microsoft but everybody in this industry has a lot we need to do before we get to the point where this is not what stands at the top of the list of what would hold us back" "We have people who are connecting machines to all these wireless networks, and the wireless network is trying to be made secure, even though they're not controlled by a central IT department" "it's very hard for people to plan fo. Knowing exactly what has to be done, that's been far too difficult" " I'm very optimistic about this, even though there are many years of work ahead of us" "there is a lot of work done on security by experts who are totally benign" "the maturity that we're getting in terms of the systems, the updates, the methodologies, these are exactly what we need to take care of these other threat models" "And so it's the dollar loss that comes in -- that gain level or the national interest piece -- that we can get to by making sure that none of these types of people can get in and attack these systems. And so the learning curve is being driven forward very rapidly by the visible portion of this activity" "Now, our approach, of course, has two main buckets: the work we're doing at the technical level, both on our own and around industry standards, and then the work we're doing in terms of education and awareness and working with governmental entities" "A lot of the dollars are going into those technical buckets. Those technical buckets are very important, and I'm very optimistic about them" "but we'll never get away from the need to have both of these pillars, to be working with customers, setting up Web sites, setting up auditing tools that can make things easy for them, and raising the level of awareness of these issues so that somebody can go through exactly the steps to secure their systems. "There are a lot of architectural principles. We talk about SD-cubed-plus-C; that's secure by design, that's security-aware features" "Clearly, there's more to do, but that is one of the metrics that shows us that we're definitely on the right track" "the tactics we go through to make sure that all of those things come together for those systems vary according to the audience" "If somebody is sending around a mail thing and they're clicking on executable files" "The idea that you can look at that machine before it comes onto the network, see if it's up to date" "As soon as we got good enough to handle that in an auditable, totally predictable way, people saw this as the software that would solve that problem" "we'll get even the corporate applications to get out there and not require any privilege escalation to either install that application or use that application" "An area of particular innovation is this idea of scanning source code and finding areas that might be security vulnerabilities, things like checking the size of the buffer, checking the size of an on-stack data structure" "Things come in across the network, using open ports that are there for benign reasons" "There are attacks through e-mail attachments and Web downloads" "I want to talk about spam. Spam is both a nuisance" "So we're putting out, as an industry proposal this week what we call caller ID for e-mail. And it's a very specific technical proposal about how you can make sure that the domain is authentic. We've actually taken *our* we have some *patents* around this, we're saying are *royalty* *free*, available for everyone to use, the ones that relate to the fundamentals of this, and so we're talking with other ISPs and mail providers, and we believe that by this summer, with the *right* *agreements*, we can put this in place" "When I meet with developers, one of the key messages is the opportunity created by the Web services standard. You've probably seen the momentum building behind these, the acceptance of XML as the rich data standard" "what WS Security does is it creates a protocol-based approach that's not subject to spoofing or replay attacks" Windows is certified at what's called EAL level 4, and of all the popular operating systems, that is the highest level of certification." "hardware level things to verify that the operating system you're running, that nobody's tampered with that" "making sure that, at the OS level, secrets can be maintained" "Anyway, the recent advance is that the offline scenario was one that required innovation on both sides, us working with RSA to understand, okay, how do you get the information onto the machine so that it still can be used but used in a secure way when the network is not there and available" "Microsoft Research has done so many different things in the security area I had to pick which one I thought would be very interesting, and what I picked is a really neat piece of work called the Tamper Resistant ID Card" http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/speeches/2004/02-24rsa.asp Tag: KB828028 Tag: 47152

    - home page gets switched Everytime I go on-line some "thing" I must have picked up on the net keeps changing my home page to res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213. No matter how many times I reset it, it changes it back the next time. I've done a virus search and spybot too. Nothing. Also anytime I do a search (usually on Google) that same "thing" throws in its 2 bits of info. Where is it and how do I get rid of it???? Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions, because I'll never find this page again. Many thanks, Paul Tag: KB828028 Tag: 47143

    - To clarify the link for CWShredder Update This morning I saw that a certain Svyatoslav Pidgorny, MVP, MCSE slammed me for <quote/> "Distributing viruses, huh?" <end/quote> in response to my post Subject: New CWShredder update available which was dated Wednesday, February 25, 2004 2:34 AM (MST) news:eD#UZK4#DHA.2512@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl I have not in anyway offered a link that contains a virus, or am in any way distributing a virus! I demand a retraction and an apology from that person. Now, you may follow through in a logical and orderly manner through these links to see that the link I offered is Bona Fide and genuine, if you care to do so. Windows Support Center James A. Eshelman, Proprietor & Webmaster http://www.aumha.org/ http://www.aumha.org/support.htm http://www.aumha.org/a/noads.htm No www. is required for the link I initially offered for CWShredder at the bottom of this page. http://aumha.org/a/parasite.php http://www.aumha.org/a/parasite.htm This website is about getting help solving computer problems and getting support for Microsoft products using the Microsoft Communities, or the NNTP equivalent, newsgroups. http://www.dts-l.org/ http://www.dts-l.org/gallery.htm Jim Eshelmans original link : http://free.freespeech.org/Khephra/ now redirects to: http://www.aumha.org/ So we have come full circle. I hope this will clarify matters as it appears that some of you may have been put off by the name of the URL that was offered. If you're not satisfied with this, I'm sorry, but it's the best I could do to allay your concerns. If this has done nothing to assuage your worries, *don't* install the update then. Suit yourselves and you be the judge. Again, I expect a full and complete apology from this person Svyatoslav Pidgorny, who has wrongfully accused me of "distributing viruses". -- LuckyStrike LS@smokedamagedfurniture.youcandriveitawaytoday.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag: KB828028 Tag: 47040
