    - Surrender Administrator Account Hi guys, I need some opinion on this: Recently we are doing some security audits and my boss wants us to surrender our Domain Administrator Account and password to a locked safe. Other than the System Administration, joining of PC / server to domain, etc, how can I convince my boss that it is better for us System Adminstrator to keep the account and password to ourselves?

    - Firewall issue I have setup ICS for both of my pc (xp and 98)is up and running fine but at the expense of disabling firewall (zonealarm) at the host machine, only then can the client machine access the network. Is there any setting I could change so that both pc could get connected without disabling firewall. For your info, I'm using NIC for both machines and is not using any router or hub, cos is just a simple setup. Another thing is whenever I boot up my pc, I will get a prompt for Zonealarm which go like this "ZA is waiting for true vector to intialize, cancel?" Any idea why am I having this prompt?

    - Point32.exe ver 4.10.0851.0 attempting internet access on Windows 98 After I installed a firewall I began getting warnings that this program was attempting to access the intenet. I have been refusing to allow access because it is a mouse program and I can't fathom any reason that it would need that access. Also, without the firewall, I have never had any indication from the program that it was making outside access. Therefore, I am concerned that this program, which seems to be from Microsoft according to its 'Properties', has somehow been infected with some sort of virus. A search of the Microsoft.com knowledge base does not return any information to suggest that this is normal behaviour for this program. Is it? If it is normal, what is it doing and why?

    - AVG Antivirus--Help, Which one of the many versions ? Need to get some help in this area as I am not familiar with the AVG product line and am trying out the free download which does seem to work well, I am running it along with Spybot 2.5 and it has picked up a few things that Spybot missed. However... I am a bit lost after digging thru the FAQ's on AVG's homepage and was wondering if someone here could help me out or aim me in the right direction ! I am currently running the AVG Antivirus that I downloaded about 2 weeks ago and is Version 6.0.560 (release date of 09-02-03) Virus Database=352, release date of: 01-08-04. What I am curious about is when I go to the info pages for AVG, it lists AVG 7.0 Anti-Virus System and no mention of the Version 6 that I have and it also lists a AVG Professional Single Edition Do I have the latest version ? I have the free version running on my laptop which is running Windows 98SE and it works very well, however as soon as I can get the correct drivers for the system, I am going to Upgrade it to Windows XP Professional. Soon after that I will be selling the notebook (after I remove AVG) and going with a new notebook that currently has Windows XP Professional on, but I will be upgrading it to Windows Server 2003 Premium Version. In reading the write ups on the products, it sounds like I do not actually want the AVG Professional as it does not run on Server 2003 and as far as I can tell, I would want the "AVG File Server Edition - maximum protection for file servers" OR perhaps I need the "AVG Email Server Edition" For 90% of what I do, I use Outlook Express Version 6.0.2800 (latest Version) with Internet Explorer 6.0.2800. Sometimes I will use Outlook 2002 and will be going to Outlook 2003 when I change to Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003. However I will not be running Server 2003 Premium in a real server mode as at this point am just testing the software. So..the question is, what version ? In advance, thanks !! -- Tedd Riggs PDA Square Content Developer www.pdasquare.com Tag: ActiveX Controls - Security Settings Tag: 43485

    - spyware I downloaded a free spy checker and the program highlighted a registry entry as follows: Search Ex Acrol E Helpr A and the comment was Registry ....threat to my secuity...severe. So I clicked on a button that was to fix the spyware...however, the message I received was that I would have to buy the full retail version of the spyware scanner....so I did not buy the software...however, I did a search by using the Find Files option and found the file in question was referenced in 856 files...so my question? Does anybody out there know what this file is and what it does? Or, is it possible that the actual maker of the software downloaded a dummy file that does nothing but take up space..but just shows up on their spy scan of the computer so as to scare you into buying their spy protection service? My knowledge of any programming is somewhat limited...and basically just a point and click Windows junkie..so am I being put on by a spyware scam scanner?

    - NT 4.0 Server and XP OS internet access only I have a situation with a client where a 1st floor location has 3 pc that were removed from router access via mac address exclusion. They need a forth one to connect only to the internet. I can setup another PC and lock it out of the NT 4.0 network but the problem is these employees problably know the password for the volunteer users in the upstairs office and that would by pass login protection settings to keep them off the network. I need a PC locked down only accessing the internet so I they can go anywhere on the net and not but the network in harms way. I was wondering if XP pro OS has any features that would lock the system down to only getting onto the net and not allow any other password logins. Thanks for any help.

    - Windows security updates notice As soon as I got online today, a Windows Messenger message popped up, stating I needed to click on the enclosed link to download a security fix--something about a winpatch.net-something-or-other. Do you send security notices via Windows Messenger? I'm not familiar with Win. MSNGR. cause I've never received messages from it before this PC I recently got (I have AOL.) And the few I've gotten on here were from people I don't know--one was an ad; two were from the same person (same gender as me)on different days saying that a friend of mine (doesn't give name)says I'm cool. Well, I'm 50, married with 2 grown kids--so I doubt that! I just closed all these messages including the "security" one today. I did a search for it on MSN's security site, which found nothing--'course I couldn't remember the whole name accurately. Yesterday I had to reinstall Win XP and everything else that came with this PC after it crashed (couldn't get it to do a recovery--something about an NDRLT file missing), and I re-acquired Automatic Update but it wasn't til today that it's stating I need to get a lot of updates (which I do recognize from the 1st time.) It didn't start showing this til AFTER I got and closed the Win Mssgr. message. I just checked the Updates list and there's nothing on it about winpatch.net-whatever. I'm confused, so please email me a reply ASAP, and also tell me what I should acquire from the website that will be able to decipher the genuineness of something for me. Thank you.

    - PC-Cillin Just wondering if anyone has any comments on PC-Cillin from Trendmicro. I used their site to fix 3 viruses that Norton didn't ever pick up. Wondering if their software is as good as the rest. Norton didn't pick up the viruses at all, McAfee did, but wanted to charge for everything but the free scan. If am impressed and feel a bit obligated now to use this product from Trendmicro since I am needing to re-subscribe to some form of protection, and since they were the only site that truly fixed me up from my troubles.

    - Computer Protection I have just gone through the headache of being infected with 3 viruses which Norton didn't pick up at all. The McAfee and TrendMicro.com sites both did. I got a free fix tool from the trendmicro site through their housecall feature. They sell a program titled "PC-Cillin." I am wondering if anyone has used this or know if it's any good versus McAfee and Norton? I'd like to use their product since they were the ones that detected my viruses and fixed them for free, but not if the software isn't as good as others. Thanks.

    - nachi worn and reinstallation I did a reformat and reinstallation of Win XP last night and this morning, when I hooked up the Net and download McAfee Virusscan, it told a few minutes later after installing the Windows Updates that it detected the Nachi worm and deleted it. Now, this is the second time this happened to me, and the first time was when I bought Win XP and installed it on a reformatted drive. I did some research on McAfee about the worm, but I still have one question: Is this worm present on my system when I reinstall Win XP or do I become instantly affected when I hook up to the Net? I didn't do anywhere on the Net except on MSN site and McAfee. I also have another hard drive hooked up as a slave, but it only contains music files. Could that be the culprit also?

    - Great Way to Make Money....Legally! GREAT WAY TO MAKE MONEY-READ THIS!!!!! Iâ??ll make you a promise. READ THIS INFORMATION TO THE END! - follow what it says to the letter - and you will not worry whether a RECESSION is coming or not, who is President, or whether you keep your current job or not. HOW TO TURN Â£6 INTO Â£6,000!!!!!! For our North American friends send equivalent dollars instead of pounds READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of Â£6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send Â£1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and Â£6.00, right? Then I invested the measly Â£6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about Â£25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over Â£1,000.00! In the third week I had over Â£10,000.00 and itâ??s still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over Â£42,000.00 and itâ??s still coming in rapidly. Itâ??s certainly worth Â£6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! Itâ??s easy. Itâ??s legal. And, your investment is only Â£6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and Â£50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, itâ??s a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now get 6 Â£1.00 coins and tape ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so that its stable and l will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and Â£1.00. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the Post Office and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1) N.Lamy 178 Elm St. Sudbury ON P3C 1T7 London SW 16 6LY #2 M. Michel 188 Caswell Dr. Sudbury ON P3E 2N8 #3) Gerry P. Manager 469 Bouchard St. Suite 220 Sudbury ON P3E 2K8 #4) RenÃ©e S. Leamay 4 Robert Speck Parkway Mississauga Ontario L4Z 1S1 #5) Nick Dechamplain 4408 Chenier Street Hanmer ON P3P 1L9 #6) Gerry Lamy 4545 Dennie St. Hanmer, ON P3P 1L1 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. Some of the participants in your list may very well become life-long friends! Remember to include your family and friends, the idea is for everyone to profit from this wonderful opportunity. MOST OF ALL: This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of participants like you. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

    - Safe XP Security Downloads? What Free internet security downloads on CNET.com are safe and useful for XP? Some are Spybot Search & Destroy, SpyHunter, Ad-aware, ZoneAlarm 4.5.538--safe for XP?

    - trojan? Hi, a friend of mine has booked a ticket for a concert and a few minutes later it was booked again. When he complained to the ticket-company and said that he only ordered one ticket and asked why they charged him two, they said that it was booked twice. When they checked their log-file, they found that one was ordered from my computer. But to do so, I would have had needed my friends log-in, his PIN and his bank account. Now he is really pissed off at me and thinks I spyed in his stuff, which I definitely didn't. However, there is no question that the order was sent from my computer. Now my question: Since I know I definitely didn't do this and noone else has access to my computer - is there any kind of virus that can do things like that? Like a trojan virus or anything that scans computers which I have a connection to (via FTP), spys out passwords and then completes actions like booking something the other person did just a second ago? If there is a Virus like that, please tell me. My anti-virus hasn't found anything, but I know I didn't betray my friend and I don't want our friendship to be ruined. So I am looking for an explanation... Thanx, Steph PS: Please excuse my english. reply to stephanie_pesch@yahoo.de Tag: ActiveX Controls - Security Settings Tag: 43381

I am wondering if downloads are scanned for viruses, spyware etc etc. My AV software seems to intercept most e mail threats and my firewall seems to protect me against direct intrusion but when I run my spyware program I nearly always have something lurking, a tracking cookie or some other such thing, how do these things get passed all of the security?

Anybody have any other ideas of how to correct this?? Tag: ActiveX Controls - Security Settings Tag: 43368

    - Disappearing Patch KB824146 Following instructions from Microsoft I downloaded and installed the KB824146 Security Update (Blaster patch) on my new computer. I checked in the Add or Remove Programs folder and noted that Windows XP Hotfix - KB824146 was listed as an installed program. Then I went to WindowsUpdate website, had my computer scanned and downloaded all 13 required Critical Updates. When I checked the Add or Remove Programs folder I noted the 13 new Windows XP Hotfixes, but that Windows XP Hotfix - KB824146 was no longer listed as an installed program. Why is that? Is there a more recent update which I must have downloaded and which replaced KB824146 so that it's no longer in my system? Or should I reinstall KB824146? Twice I tried talking to someone on the Microsoft 1-800- PCSAFETY number, but they could not help! Someone advised me that I should have disabled my Norton Antivirus software when I downloaded the Windows Critical Updates, but I cannot get anyone at Microsoft to confirm or deny that. Can anyone help? Tag: ActiveX Controls - Security Settings Tag: 43360

    - MSN supposed request for personal data I just received a supposed email from MSN, saying that during a normal test review, they found Errs in my system, and, needed to update all my personal info, including credit card info, etc. At first glance looks very very much like an official MSN sight, but the request seemed to be outside of logical MSN std policies. Has anyone else seen this...who would I forward HTML of this site, for MSN review and possible capture if indeed it is Identity Theft group. Thanks for listening.

    - No password dialog box Problem is no password dialog box at a website. I've subscribed to a website's email newsletter. The newsletter provides 'privileged' username and password to access a "markets list" page at the website. But the URL only returns 'Authorization required'. The editor emails me that I have the right URL, username and password and perhaps I need to clear the cache - but no go. My OS is Windows ME with 128-bit encryption. Is my browser failing - or am I being spoofed? Since I'm annoyed, here's the access details: http://worldwidefreelance.com/markets/index.htm Username: write Password: well --Jeremy S.
