    - 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?

    - UPDATE: Product Support Services - W32.SASSER WORM RELATING TO MS04-011 UPDATE (05/04/2004): - This alert is being updated to advise you of an update to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011. This update details additional workaround steps which customers can take to protect against the LSASS vulnerability (CAN-2003-0533). This is the vulnerability which is exploited by the Sasser worm and its variants. Customers who have not yet deployed the security update for MS04-011 can evaluate implementing this new workaround to protect against the Sasser worm and its variants. - In addition, Microsoft has updated the cleanup tool for W32.Sasser.worm to remove the C and D variants of the Sasser worm. The Sasser removal tool now removes Sasser A, B, C and D. The updated removal tool is located at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=76C6DE7E-1B6B-4FC3-90D4-9FA42D14CC17&displaylang=en and is documented in Knowledge Base article KB841720 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;841720. What is this alert? - Microsoft has been made aware of a worm identified as "W32.Sasser.worm" and it is currently circulating on the Internet. The worm exploits the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) vulnerability fixed in Microsoft Security Update MS04-011 on April 13, 2004. - Microsoft encourages customers to protect themselves against this worm by installing Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011 <www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-011.mspx> immediately. - Customers who have enabled the Windows XP Firewall are protected from the vector this worm attacks, which is TCP Port 139. Most third party firewalls also block this attack vector by default. If you have any questions regarding the security updates or its implementation after reading the above listed bulletin you should contact Product Support Services in the United States at 1-866-PCSafety (1-866-727-2338). International customers should contact their local subsidiary.

    - PopupEliminator and spyware? Hey guys and gals, I'm thinking about downloading PopupEliminator (by SurfSecret Software). I've heard good things about it. Looks like a good program to stop annoying and invasive pop-ups, BUT...I want to make sure I'm not adding spyware along with it. (Some programs that are suppose to protect you from spyware, such as SpyBan, SpyHunter, SpyGone, etc., actually PUT more spyware on your computer). Call me paranoid but I just wanted to make sure.

Users that will actually log onto computers on the network; Users that will only have an account for an exchange mailbox. So what I would like to do is have seperate password complexity requirements for these users. Can I do this?

    - 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. Can anyone advise why this happens? alba. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

    - Software Update Services Server Synch Problem We have been successfully using the MS SUS server to update all the clients in our domain for almost a year. Suddenly, in the middle of February the system stopped being able to pull down the synch. Whether it is manually run or on auto run, we get the same error message: "Failed to generate the list of files to synchronize. (Error 0x80070003: The system cannot find the path specified.)". 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!). Anyone having a similar problem This is a critical issue because of the current worm. Norton Enterprise is protecting us now, but I'd feel a whole lot better if I could update the desktops.

I want to make the certrqbi.asp page issue these certificates to users as a default, to stop them having to go via the advanced request form. I thought this might be as easy as forcing XEnroll.GenKeyFlags|=CRYPT_EXPORTABLE;, but this still gets a denied by policy module error (Private Key missing).

    - 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. Run the Sasser cleaner tool from the following URL: a. For the on-line ActiveX control based version of the cleaner you can run it directly from the following URL: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp b. For the stand-alone download version of the cleaner you can download it from the following URL: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=76C6DE7E-1B6B-4FC3-90D4-9FA42D14CC17&displaylang=en 4. Determine if the machine has been infected with a variant of the Agobot worm which can also get on the machine using the same method as the Sasser worm. a. To do this run a full antivirus scan of your machine after ensuring your antivirus signatures are up to date. b. If you do NOT have an antivirus product installed you can visit HouseCall from TrendMicro to perform a free scan using the following URL: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ If you have any questions regarding the security updates or its implementation after reading the above listed bulletin you should contact Product Support Services in the United States at 1-866-PCSafety (1-866-727-2338).

    - Installing 835732 causes my server to crash Early last week I was installing some critical updates to my Win2000 web server. As soon as my server rebooted, I noticed that the system handles kept increasing. It finally got up to about 1.5 million handles and the server would crash and start the whole process again. As soon as I UNINSTALLED 835732 the server acted just fine. So, now with all this Sasser worm stuff I double checked my servers, saw that I did not have this one installed, installed it again and the handle problem started up again!! What can I do!! Thanks, Eric Lund Tag: AppName: mshta.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0 ModName: unknown Tag: 51745

    - how in the heck .... ? First of all, I don't know what in the heck i'm doing. My son always handled the computer but he's in the Air Force now, and I'm lost. I used to have MSNBC as the first screen that opened when I went on line. Something, somewhere got screwed up and now I have this page called "about:blank" that I CANNOT get rid of. Someone suggested Spybot. Tried it, it says the computer is clean, but I cannot get rid of this damn thing. It's on all 5 of our accounts. We go to the "settings" thing and change it to something else and the first time we sign on, it's gone. Sign back on the next time ? Damn thing is back. Is this a virus ? Ever since it happened, our computer is alot slower, too. I'm so lost, and I don't even know who to ask for help. If you have any ideas, could you help please ? I would really appreciate it.

    - Firewall Issue in SRV2003 HI, When using the built in forewall on Server 2003 Standard Ed., I am no longer able to view web sites on this server even though I have specified "Seb Server" in the services tab, and also verified the IP. I am using host headers (ie. secure.website.com, www.website.com, etc) on the same IP address.. What is odd, is that I can FTP to the server and I show an open port 21 when I scan the machine with LanGuard. Can anyone please help? This seems rather odd to me.

The following error message displays whenever I click on "change the way users log on or off" from Control Panel: Microsoft (R) HTML Application host has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience

(the "For more information about this error. click here" message returns the following detail"
AppName: mshta.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0 ModName: unknown ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000

>> To resolve the behavior, type the following commands in

I performed the operations above and checked the ( \\windows\system32\mshta.exe & \\windows\system32\dllcache\mshta.exe file directory version properties after the operations had completed. File version results were: Microsoft, 6.00.2600.0000 (xpclient.010817-1148, etc.) for each file and rebooted my system. I still recieve the error. I click upon the "change the way users log on or off" link from the Control Panel's "User Accounts" page and the error response comes back with the very same message I identified in the subject line. I would welcome suggestions that anyone might have. Thanks
