    - securing folder on external disk(s) I have an external (firewire) disk (60GB) which I use daily between my home- and the office-computer. Both computers run Win2000. I have tried to encrypt the data and add user rights, but using other computers this is easy to change once logged in as administrator on a third party Win2k computer. What is the best way of securing access to this (firewire) disk (or directories) such that if I loose it "no one" can have (easy) access to it? Many thanks -- Zen Andreas Tag: HOW TO GET AROUND LOG ON PASSWORD Tag: 54509

    - ** READ THIS BEFORE POSTING - answers to frequently asked questions 2004.06.08 Before you post a question to a Microsoft.public.*.security newsgroup, note that your question may already be answered below: Answers to Top Frequently Asked Questions: http://securityadmin.info I'm getting an LSASS error message, and/or I have the Sasser virus. 1) Run anti-virus that is configured to download the latest updates every week or even every day. www.grisoft.com is free anti-virus. 2) You also need to install all the patches for your system software from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com, starting with the MS04-011 patch. Microsoft generally releases security patches on the second Tuesday of more or less every month. [Theh MS04-011 patch is also available here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-011.mspx ... though you still want to visit the Windows Update site to get all patches.] 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. Running a firewall would have protected you from this. Free firewall software is available from www.kerio.com, www.zonealarm.com and/or www.sygate.com 5) You need to do ALL of these things, or you won't have much success.

I would like the user to decide whether to accept a message signed by an untrusted certificate, but I need to add the issuer of this certificate to the trusted root CA store to get the message processed.

    - unable to connect to exchange 2000 server from Outlook Clients This is a weird one. Has anyone ever experienced this? I have Exchange 2000 server running. Suddenly this morning, NONE of the outlook clients (Outlook 2000 and XP) from all workstation are able to logon to the Exchange server. The logon box keeps popping up like you're not authenticated to the domain. When I manually enter the the user id, password, and domain info this is the error message I get: "Your logon information was incorrect. Check your username and domain, then type your password again..." However, I am already successfully logged onto the domain and am able to access all network resources, except Exchange. So I'm thinking that maybe it a MAPI issue. However, I am able to go to a workstation, logon as the administrator, create a outlook profile, and am able to access the mailbox with no authentication issues. But if I logon as another user on the same workstation, I can't successfully authentication with Outlook. It seems like a permission issue, so I even tried giving a user as a member of the admins group, but that didn't help. Virus scan also comes clean. Any suggestions? Would sure appreciate it.

    - iexplore still runs when it's shut seems to be opening for popups Like the title says iexplore still runs when it's shut down and seems to be opening for popups. I'm trying to fix a system for a friend who is not a computer person and who had so much garbage on her system it should be the Guinness book of world records. It's 95% better. She is running Norton AV and Zonealarm Basic. I installed Spybot S&D and Ad-aware. Did aggressive scans and removed 1000's of things. BUT, this iexplore thing is weird. You shut everything down......you still see occasional popups. If you go to the task manager there is still an iexplore running. You shut it down and all the popups go poof.....gone. This iexplore running in the background also seems to sometimes interfere will running iexplore when you want it to. Tag: HOW TO GET AROUND LOG ON PASSWORD Tag: 54472

    - symproxysvc.exe uses 99% cpu time Recently, there was an Internet Explorer Script Error (Expected ',' Code 0) shown on my PC for each clicking on new web page. Then I renewed my Norton Internet Security (2002) subscription. The Script Error seems to be stopped; but it took a long time (3-5 mins.) to open the new page. Checking the Task Manager I found a 'symproxysvc.exe' task, run by system, always used 99% of cpu time. The process can be ended, but was reactivated when clicking the IE browser. Therefore, I disabled the Norton Internet Security to find out that IE worked perfectly without the script error and the 'symproxysvc.exe' is not running. What is the problem? How to solve it? TIA.

    - PLEASE READ: Microsoft policy regarding patch distribution I keep seeing this question come up over and over again, so I thought I'd post a reminder message. +-----------------------------------------------------+ | Microsoft NEVER distributes patches through e-mail. | +-----------------------------------------------------+ If you ever receive an email with an attachment and it claims to come from us, delete it. (Or, forward to secure@microsoft.com.) No matter how official-looking it might appear, I promise you it is a forgery. Furthermore, if you are enticed to click a link to download a patch, scrutinize the link closely. If you see an "@" in the link, then again you are reading a false message. Someone has crafted a link to look like it's on microsoft.com, when in fact the destination site will be whatever's *after* the "@". So again, delete it or forward it to us.

    - Spybot message:"DSO EXPLOIT: There is a security hole..... I see some reassuring responses from "Sandi" and "Saljaline." I hate to make you respond once again to the same brush fire as you say, but I really want my mom to be reassured that she is really safe. She is a senior citizen who knows little about computers and I don't know much either. Just a brief 'yes' or ' no' would be great. The message she's getting seems to be a little bit different from the others, and spybot is claiming they can't fix the problem. Here's her message: "DSO Exploit: There is a secuity hole in IE allowing websites to execute code without asking you first. You can find more information at . . . My mom is a Windows XP user and she is updated with all the Microsoft critical updates. Is she safe? Can she quit worrying about this Spybot message or should she do something more Thank you very, very much. Tag: HOW TO GET AROUND LOG ON PASSWORD Tag: 54379

    - Web Problem I'm hoping someone with computer knowledge can help me out: I'm having trouble viewing certain images. Example: The following website is for a local record store near my home: www.letitbe.com If you visit this site you will notice a scrolling banner ad on the top for contests,etc. The banner ad simply doesn't appear on my screen. I figured it was my Norton Internet Security 2004 (antivirus and firewall) causing the problem...so I turned it off entirely, but still have the same problem. The images just aren't there. Maybe it is a Windows XP security setting I need to adjust? On another site where I have the same problem, www.livephish.com (unable to view s scrolling banner/image), the FAQ for that site suggests to "make sure your network administrator is allowing HTTP access on port 8000 on your machine." To be honest I have no idea what this means or how to check it. I amdoubting this is the problem. The only thing I can imagine blocking a "port" would be the firewall but, like I said, I turned that off and am still having the same problem. The second site, www.livephish.com, is supposed to show a scrolling son title in the "Now Playing" box in the upper right conrner. I am unable to see that scrolling amage on my screen. Can anyone see a similarity between the livephish.com buttons/scrolling song title & the banner ad on top of www.letitbe.com? Is it a java thing or a flash problem maybe? What exactly is my computer not allowing in?! Any troubleshooting help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thi is driving me CRAZY! Please take a second and check those sites to see if there is a similarity in the stuff not showing up on my screen. I'm thinking XP must be blocking something. You have no idea how happy it would make me to solve this problem. Thanks a lot! Tag: HOW TO GET AROUND LOG ON PASSWORD Tag: 54372

    - NicTech Spyware OK, I was having problems with pop-ups and after running Ad-Aware, decided to run SpyBot. However after running both, Ad-Aware kept showing the same exploit (VX32.BetterInternet) but in a different DLL. Each file would require a reboot to fix, and then when I ran Ad-Aware again, it would show a different DLL with the same exploit. Finally after some internet searching I determined that the problem initiated from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify and a key GuardianXXXXX (4 or 5 random alpha characters following the Guardian). Well this pointed to a dll called adaamon.dll in my System32 directory. I was unable to delete the the DLL under any circumstances. Even tried logging in to safe mode. Tried deleting the Registry Key but on reboot it would reappear with a different random string and Ad-Aware kept finding a different DLL.. Appears to have been a copy of the adaamon.dll. Finally resolved this issue by rebooting and not logging in, then using a second PC and Windows Explorer, connected to my PC via the C$ share and was able to delete the adaamon.dll. (Which is a Hidden System Read Only file). Then I was able to delete the registry key and it did not reappear on reboot. Current versions of NAV2004 with up to date sig files did not catch this. Finally ran Ad-Ad-Aware and Spybot until both were satisfied, used advanced features for the Ad-Aware search as specified at computercops.us for the BetterInternet issue. Don't know how someone without the second PC could fix this as I would assume there is NO way to bypass the Winlogon Notify reg key. Since this notification was to run on both logon and logoff, I would assume the dll could re-configure itself if you deleted the key or changed permissions on the key (Which I had also tried), during the logoff process for reboot.

set the booting order, first the floppy disk; go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ and use the instructions from there. it will list the users from windows which has access. You can modify the Administrator password. Is better to set it blank and change it after you log in.
