 - AVOID THESE LIKE THE PLAGUE! If you need to protect your computer from malware (unwanted pop-ups from software installed on your computer, browser/homepage hijackings, dialers, keyloggers, etc.), then please get Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy and some others; they are REPUTABLE! However, do NOT get the following; they are programs that SAY they will protect you, but have been found by various websites/individuals to actually HARM your computer! Notice some have similar names to the REPUTABLE programs like the fantastic Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, etc. So... AVOID THESE LIKE THE PLAGUE: Spy Wiper AdWare Remover Gold BPS Spyware Remover Online PC-Fix SpyFerret SpyBan SpyBlast SpyGone SpyHunter SpyKiller SpyKiller Pro SpywareNuker TZ Spyware-Adware Remover SpyAssault InternetAntiSpy Virtual Bouncer AdProtector SpyFerret SpyGone SpyAssault Pal Spyware Remover NoAdware Spyware Killa Scanspyware ALSO: XP Antispy is LEGIT, however, their former domain was taken over by someone who's pushing a dialer and trying to pass it off as XP Antispy. My suggestion: avoid XP Antispy for now to be on the safe side! You never know which one you are getting! If anyone else has anything to add to the list, feel free but make sure it deserves the "recognition" (in other words, don't put it here because you "don't like it"; put it here because a reputable researcher found it to be bad). And please, send this list to all your friends/co-workers so the word spreads about these programs that will do NOTHING but harm your computer and betray your trust. Tag: vbv Tag: 51927

 - Help with MS Baseline Security Analyzer I am somewhat confused by the results of a scan I just ran with the MS Baseline Security Analyzer. It is telling me that two security updates are out of date and 3 could not be confirmed as follows: MSXML 3 lacks the latest service pack SP 4 MSXML 4 lacks the latest service pack SP 2 MS)#-008 MS03-030 MS03-051 Yet when I run Windows Update it tells me there are no critical updates to be installed? Exactly what are the MSXML service packs and what do they do? Where can they be found to download? Can some kind soul explain what is happening and should I attempt to download and install the above updates even though Windows Update doesn't recognize the need? Thanks for any assistance.

 - Possible security threat - Passport and Sympatico.ca users If you receive the following email, you may be at risk from a malicious attack if you follow the instructions contained within. Can anyone verify the validity of this email?: --------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Microsoft .NET Passport [mailto:PPMSVCMG@PASSPORT.NET] Sent: May 5, 2004 12:15 AM To: Subject: Important message from Microsoft .NET Passport - action required Hello : This is an important message from Microsoft concerning the Microsoft .NET Passport account associated with your sympatico.ca e-mail address. Both Microsoft and Bell Canada are committed to simplifying your online experience. Therefore we are taking efforts to ensure that active Bell Sympatico Internet customers can continue to use the .NET Passport that is associated with their sympatico.ca e-mail address. Since there is a Passport account associated to your Sympatico e-mail address, we ask that you please verify that you are the user of the Passport account and that you give consent to Bell Canada to manage your Microsoft .NET Passport account. It's a quick and easy process to verify your account. Instructions on how to verify your account are below, as well as some important questions and answers. To verify your Passport account: 1. In your Web browser, type passport.net in the Address bar and press Enter. 2. On the Passport home page, click the Sign In button, and sign in to your Passport account. 3. Follow the instructions to verify your e-mail address. If you did not register the Passport using this e-mail address, or if you do not agree to give Bell Canada consent to manage your Passport account, take no action, and we will disable the Passport account 20 days from the date this message was sent. This will have no affect on your Sympatico subscription or sympatico.ca e-mail address. To request additional help from Passport Customer Support, click http://register.passport.net/contactus.srf?LC=1033. Important Questions and Answers What is a .NET Passport account? Microsoft .NET Passport is a service that enables you to sign in to multiple services, such as MSN Messenger or Hotmail, with a single e-mail address and password. For more information, visit the Passport home page at http://www.passport.net. I don't have a Passport account. Why am I seeing this message? Another person may have created a Passport account with your current sympatico.ca e-mail address (such as a family member, or an individual who had the e-mail address before you). This does not mean that the user has access to your e-mail messages or any other personal information - it simply means that they have used the e- mail address as a sign-in name for their Passport account. If this is the case, you can ignore this e-mail message and do nothing, and 20 days from the date this message was sent, we will disable the user from using your e-mail address as their Passport sign-in name. What does it mean to give consent to Bell Canada to manage my sympatico.ca .NET Passport? As the owner of the sympatico.ca domain, Bell Canada assigns sympatico.ca e-mail addresses. In addition, sympatico.ca is now a 'sponsored domain' which is associated with a special kind of .NET Passport where Bell Canada will ensure only Bell Sympatico Internet customers can obtain sympatico.ca .NET Passports. What happens if I don't verify my e-mail address or give Sympatico consent to manage my Passport account? After 20 days from the date this e-mail message was sent, if you have not yet verified your e-mail address with Passport, you will no longer be able to sign in to any Passport participating site until you change the e-mail address in your Passport account. In addition, you will lose data associated with your Passport sign-in e-mail address, such as your MSN Messenger contact list. No matter what your decision is, your existing Sympatico subscription and e-mail account will not be affected. Only your Passport account will be affected. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Passport is committed to protecting your privacy. We encourage you to review the Passport privacy statement at: http://www.passport.net/privacypolicy.asp To request additional help from Passport Customer Support, click http://register.passport.net/contactus.srf?LC=1033 Please do not reply to this message; it was sent from an unmonitored e-mail address and we are unable to respond to any replies.

 - Re: Problems with installing Security patch Q837009 Hi Bill, Thanks for the reply post! Having looked at the version installed in Help (as you suggested) it shows version 6.00.280.1123. This would mean that I am running OE6 with IE version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633. Do either of these versions have flaws that make them incompatible? Both are updated via Microsoft Official Updates site and I have no problems updating from the site. My problem seems to come when installing individual patches... alba. "Bill Sanderson" <Bill_Sanderson@msn.com.plugh.org> wrote in message news:%23mrP3EkMEHA.2532@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... When you go to Help, about, in Outlook Express--what version number is displayed? It is possible to be running Outlook Express 5.x and IE 6, because of a flaw in the upgrade process. It is important to fix this because the older OE has some bugs which are not getting patched. "alba" <alba1314@ntlworld.com> wrote in message news:%23Tg4bTgMEHA.3944@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... I am running Windows XP Pro and Internet Explorer 6, along with Outlook Express 6 and am having problems installing Security patch Q837009. Each time I try to install the patch I get a Microsoft Internet Explorer Update message telling me that Outlook Express 6.0 needs to be installed - Surely OE6 is part of IE6 and therefore installs when Windows is installed?? I have tried to download OE 6.0 as a separate download from IE and on trying to install it I am told that I have a newer version already on my PC! This is not the first time that I have experienced problems with installing patches relating to Outlook Express - The problem seems to occur whenever I download and install individual patches.

Microsoft generally releases security patches on the second Tuesday of more or less every month. 3) Once you're infected, you may need to download and run a free Sasser virus removal tool such as the Stinger tool from www.McAfee.com or the free tool from http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp 4) You're not running a firewall, or your firewall isn't protecting you.

 - Accesing data from a slaved hard drive Hi We have a little problem - a customer's system no longer boots up and he needs the data from it (No backups- of course). We are trying to put it onto another system as a slave drive (like with 95/98/ME) but windows will not allow access -displays 'Access Denied' when you try and open the customers personal data. My question is - is there any way round this? Or is the data no effectivly lost. (Just for info - the HDD and data is fine, it just won't boot!) Thanks In Advance Jamie Tag: vbv Tag: 51902

 - Office/Active Directory Compatibility? I run a network with 40 machines, at the moment we have an older version of office (2000) running on a Win 2000 server driven network and a mixture of 2000 and XP workstations. Although the active directory lets me set options on win explorer to limit access to files and folders the settings do not apply to the explorer plug-in built into office. This allows staff to browse other area of the netwok wihout permissions. If I upgrade to office 2003 will there be a better integration with active directory, or are there any other ways of securing the office explorer? Mnay Thanks Dave Tag: vbv Tag: 51894

 - SpywareBlaster Hello everyone. I have Ad-Aware (can't recommend this enough) and the free version is great at scanning for spyware/malware and getting rid of some of them AFTER the fact, but I want to get something that can stop from getting them BEFORE they even have a chance to get on my computer. I've been doing my "research" and homework online about various programs like this and I read about SpywareBlaster (by JavaCool). If someone can recommend which is the best, I'd appreciate it. Again, I have noticed SpywareBlaster but I want one or more opinions to make a final decision. I did this before I got any anti-spyware programs as well and came up with Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and some others, but based on "word of mouth," I chose Ad-Aware and I've never been happier. Hopefully, you guys can help me in making the final decision regarding programs that protects one in real time against spyware. Thanks in advance! Tag: vbv Tag: 51886

 - blocking spam with blank "From" using outlook express I regularly get spam where the "From" is blank, sometimes the "Subject" is blank. I've tried forwarding these spam emails as attachments to my ISP (Comcast) to block, with limited success. Outlook Express seems to require a domain name in order to block email. I've never opened one of these or tried looking at Properties out of fear I'll catch a virus. Is there any way to block all email that arrives with no "From" information displayed?

 - Problems with installing Security patch Q837009 I am running Windows XP Pro and Internet Explorer 6, along with Outlook Express 6 and am having problems installing Security patch Q837009. Each time I try to install the patch I get a Microsoft Internet Explorer Update message telling me that Outlook Express 6.0 needs to be installed - Surely OE6 is part of IE6 and therefore installs when Windows is installed?? I have tried to download OE 6.0 as a separate download from IE and on trying to install it I am told that I have a newer version already on my PC! This is not the first time that I have experienced problems with installing patches relating to Outlook Express - The problem seems to occur whenever I download and install individual patches. Whenever I download and install patches using Critical Updates on the Microsoft Update site, I don't seem to have this problem.

The only article I can find talks about having used TweakUI to have changed the path of Program Files - which we didn't do (I'd never use that program on a server!).

 - Instructions for removing Sasser infection and patching affected machines Instructions for patching and cleaning vulnerable Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems: Vulnerable Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines may have the LSASS.EXE process crash every time a malicious worm packet targets the vulnerable machine which can occur very shortly after the machine starts up and initializes the network stack. When cleaning a machine that is vulnerable to the Sasser worm it is necessary to first prevent the LSASS.EXE process from crashing, which in turn causes the machine to reboot after a 60 second delay. This reboot cannot be aborted on Windows 2000 platforms using the Shutdown.exe or psshutdown.exe utilities and can interfere with the downloading and installation of the patch as well as removal of the worm. 1. To prevent LSASS.EXE from shutting down the machine during the cleaning process: a. Unplug the network cable from the machine b. If you are running Windows XP you can enable the built-in Internet Connection Firewall using the instructions found here: Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283673 and then plug the machine back into the network and go to step 2. c. If you are running Windows 2000, you won't have a built-in firewall and must use the following work-around to prevent LSASS.EXE from crashing. This workaround involves creating a read-only file named 'dcpromo.log' in the "%systemroot%\debug" directory. Creating this read-only file will prevent the vulnerability used by this worm from crashing the LSASS.EXE process. i. NOTE: %systemroot% is the variable that contains the name of the Windows installation directory. For example if Windows was installed to the "c:\winnt" directory the following command will create a file called dcpromo.log in the c:\winnt\debug directory. The following commands must be typed in a command prompt (i.e. cmd.exe) exactly as they are written below. 1. To start a command shell, click Start and then click run and type 'cmd.exe' and press enter. 2.Type the following command: echo dcpromo >%systemroot%\debug\dcpromo.log For this workaround to work properly you MUST make the file read-only by typing the following command: 3. attrib +R %systemroot%\debug\dcpromo.log 2. After enabling the Internet Connection Firewall or creating the read-only dcpromo.log you can plug the network cable back in and you must download and install the MS04-011 patch from the MS04-011 download link for the affected machines operating system before cleaning the system. If the system is cleaned before the patch is installed it is possible that the system could get re-infected prior to installing the patch. a. Here is the URL for the bulletin which contains the links to the download location for each patch: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-011.mspx b. If your machine is acting sluggish or your Internet connection is slow you should use Task Manager to kill the following processes and then try downloading the patch again (press the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys simultaneously and select Task Manager): i. Kill any process ending with '_up.exe' (i.e. 12345_up.exe) ii. Kill any process starting with 'avserv' (i.e. avserve.exe, avserve2.exe) iii. Kill any process starting with 'skynetave' (i.e. skynetave.exe) iv. Kill hkey.exe v. Kill msiwin84.exe vi. Kill wmiprvsw.exe 1. Note there is a legitimate system process called 'wmiprvse.exe' that does NOT need to be killed. c. allow the system to reboot after the patch is installed. 3.
