    - ~tilde desktop fix Beta this procedure seems to be working so i thought i post it. this procedure addresses two problems: the creation of bogus address cards with nothing or just symbols...not good; the formation of the file itself on the desktop. 1) if ~ is on your desktop delete it. 2) go to find and type these three symbols "~" and hit find becuase it does not always wind up on desktop and you could have duplictes and delete it/them 3)delete the OE shortcut on desktop...you'll get back later 4)go to windows explorer and open outlook express folder and if you see a file ~ delete it. 5)open WAB and look for any unknown or unidentifiable address cards and delete them and close WAB. you may now see a new file ~ created there on the list. if you do not, don't worry about it. it will be created later. 6)go to the OE icon(envelope) and "send it" to the desktop. if you use "create shortcut" this procedure may not work because of labeling. The new icon should now read "Shortcut to msimn.exe" this outcome has not created those very disturbing bogus address cards yet or anyone else i've asked to try this. but if it does, you may need to download some language support from MS whether you use only english or not. my tests show it can make a difference. i suspect that the file is open to changes as it sits on the desktop from sources other than updates from WAB changes. i used w98se and IE6. good luck -- Posted via http://dbforums.com Tag: Breakin attempts Tag: 32035

    - IPSec problem On XP Home Edition computer: Did Windows Update, but it failed towards the end. Now it disconnects dialup connection every time I try to scan for updates on Windows Update page. In event logs, there is a Failure Audit, event ID 615, "IPSec Services failed to get the complete list of network interfaces on this machine...", followed one second later by an Information event that the connection to the ISP was disconnected. This is the best clue I have as to what is going wrong -- now I just need to figure out how to put it right? Tag: Breakin attempts Tag: 32032

    - strange happenings OR blaster virus. Hi all, Home user-:WinXP,128MB RAM, SP-1,DUN , ICF ENABLED 2 weeks ago ,i was surfing the net when all of a sudden my system popped this message ,[see file attached]of system shutdown. As usual i am quite skeptical about such unknown messages. Once or twice previously i have recd a hoax message from my AVG Antivirus of virus detected while surfing the net and i just press the "restart" button , to stop the virus from if any, from attack...This time also i was about to press the restart button but the since the message was of shutdown and the popup screen also seemed to be normal i felt may be something related to Dial up networking must have crashed or something else[but still i was doubtful]. My pc shut down and upon reboot it functioned normally.....2 days later after a normal morning session, when i put on my Pc in the evening it kept restarting exactly just after/at the point the black screen comes showing "windows xp professional".In between these 2 events my AV [Avast 4.0] was updated for Blaster virus and i had also searched my pc for msblast.exe file if any and found nothing. This kept on happening even on safe mode, last good known config, etc.....In short the Desktop was never seen and before it the PC rebooted. I booted from Cd for a fresh installation and to my surprise i was shown only 2 partitions of my total 3 partitions[C:2gb,D:7.81gb,E:6.24gb,] for installing windows. The E: drive is where my windows XP is loaded and also all my program files....and this drive was not shown to me. The D: drive is the dump drive and C: for sundry items. This was quite a bit surprising as to how This E: disappeared. Now i was given a choice to either install on the remaining 2 drives or create a new partition in the balance space... Since i didnt want to take risk, i preferred to install on C:\ . At that time the drive had more than 1Gb free space.. Half a middle of the installation Win xp restarted and then again after booting from the cd i was shown the 2 choices only C & D. This time however the C: has free space about 600mb or something.... and i didnt know why XP didnt continue the installation again...[the free space was gone , may be i think on a/c of the installation files or what ??? i dont know ] Nevertheless i had to choose C: again for a fresh installation and opted to format the drive [ no option ] and loose my files. This time installation was sucessful and lo ! the explorer window showed me all my partitions including E:...Even my programs installed were also functioning properly including the AV I again searched the Pc for msblast.exe and also got the system scanned by my AV..But nothing was found.... I then again installed WINXP on E: after a quick format of the partition and formatted C: and till date my Pc is working fine... The reason for putting this info is since i came to know from the MS SITE that the blaster virus also gives such a shutdown message......... Was my Pc infected or something else ???? [i have a Dial up networking connection for the net and at all time my XP firewall was enabled, i have never closed it. ] The question is what exactly can cause such a message apart from the virus???[Note: i didnt close any services from the windows task manager or any such other manhandlings. ] Next is what this problem on my Pc was.? especially the disappearing of my partition and again resurfacing , that too intact with all my settings, programs,etc. [ i had also not touched any of my hardware , in short everything status quo ] thanks n regards begin 666 system_shutdown.gif M1TE&.#=A&@$"`?<``````.CEU5Y]V$=6R'0``*Z*BH.@Y'165LOFYI6WZ]X` M`&MNLWF'WC,``/C___]#0[T``+N5BHVGY7J=WZN_[-Q#0S\^.FUTS:4``)R< MU?DK*KU+2\"]KY6SZ&:)WWZ=Y?]F9K"NH;TC(3,G),74\N 7%Y-S<Z;6UDA> MRJTE(G5YO86KZ/^,C)D``/%L97VDXR(0#W:.V+9(2/1B7<134\P``*G$Q'J3 MWW1\U68``/$``.Z\KYEF9J6CEY.MYN^NH9D[-W)OL8>&R%E8450``$UKT?\9 M&<PS,W6&W'%O9[4``)JTZ9MR<GV4Y+]R<LX.#FMXT-CD^+7,\;BVJ<#,S/\S M,^ 0$/^9F8P``,</#\O9]79]Q)-.2/I/368S,RL:&6YMQ?4:&LX("/80$)^E MVG24XN/@T!$"`M=04-KU]7%UN_][>]B%?(6$>JT``+L'!Z>][6J1X'NEWID` M`-89&<#?WUM>Q7)VT=_/P*\R,K/&[V9F9H0``**DV:.LWNJ7C.TW-)V^OF0; M&JZ"@G6,W9Z<D> +"_4&!NAE7M#>]0@("&6%W/___[4("/]F9FB-X$4!`76$ MV'J+WL] 0.0P+?]+2[N%A7:!QQT<&I 0#TI)1'QZ<NDB(I>5BNZ%>UMHS8IJ M8LNOHM;N[NTA(7=A86IQM]8``(:CXJJHG*T'!\5?7Y*0AO^$A.;,O;W8V+_3 M\XRNY[[.\/)^=O^EI8];6\[,O<;$M3,S,_\A(>OHUZW%[H>0SVI53_\Z.G>% MS<R9F<\F(\\[.YREWO]34X%I:7)RM>8``**FW-0)":4&!B @'JO+R\4``/\` M`,8("-%Y;^Y/3_^9F?\2$N;Y^=G6QOP*"I]\?-9>7N^UK?\G)U [-Z=O9^6!

    - Why Im Writing My Book - OT in a way This babe doesn't post that often so this stuff isn't spam and you'll "know this". There is nothing wrong in trying to help "millions" of computer victims using Windows and the Internet. My topics are not off topic and "you'll know this". So stop all your BS, geez! This babe is tired of your crap and I'll go back to not responding to anyone unless you e-mail me. Try me! Just remember, all your insults make me prouder and my EGO is already big. Way can't some of you make the time to correct my so called "misinformation" and this babe will listen. If my words are incorrect, they will be changed, if you?re worthy of it. "The Trackers" don?t have time for all your street dick games, period. If you don?t want to listen, please just put me on ignore. WHY I'M WRITING THIS BOOK: First off, the members of "The Trackers" are Tracker, Bandito, Pandora, Horse, Sparky and Spooky. My purpose in writing this book is because of what I learned was happening to my computers. At first, the Internet was an object to explore, discover, and communicate with the world around me. When my kid elected to adopt a ferret, I desired to gain as much information on this cute animal in order to raise it up properly. I started my search for Websites which could be of assistance. But as time wore on and my search grew narrower, I limited my options down to alt.pets.ferrets. A few months later, to my amazement, I gave the ferret people another way to use my computer. I was unaware the hackers were going to use my computers for an avenue of their own. So I was glad to have found alt.pets.ferrets, but shocked after posting there to discover, "hackers". To dissuade people who lack the proper knowledge from posting, they started to use personal information as a means of attack. Examples of these can be found in later pages; to the extent they were willing to go to do this. Some information on ferrets were given, but when I went back for additional input, I was advised and told in so many words, "the answer is good enough since we are experts and you have no reason to question them". I felt sorry for the people who lack the proper knowledge when they were told to go away, and that their questions were stupid. No question is stupid, only the answers, so I decided to do further research on this group of people and what their problems were. I then discovered these people had hacked not only my computers, but others who went to their Newsgroup. The following is about the people who were the motivating factor for this Book. How in my research I found hackers, flamers, stalkers, etc. This Book is written to help the thousands of computer owners that are disparaged daily by spiteful individuals; to expose the hackers for who, what, where, and why they continue their malicious activity. Another goal is to have these owners close "all" their open ports to the outside world (where applicable). Tracker Tag: Breakin attempts Tag: 31961

    - Question about network share access Hi All, I have a small office network with a win 2000 server and XP Pro workstations. I have set certain security access to some files on the server for some users in my network. My problem is with the network just not letting me get into these folders some days, and letting me on others. I end up having to shut down my server to get the network working again, and I am hosting websites so shutting down is a bad idea. Any idea why this access is inconsistent? One day: I get in fine Next day: I get "Not Accessible" errors. Please help. I hope there is something I can do and this isn't just an "Undocumented Feature" of MS OS's!

    - ~tilde on desktop i think it important to start a new thread with this subject titled so. though this is discussed in many threads throughout db it is difficult to get the search to parse out such a file. if you go to my reply to thread 794192 i have stated my experience with this file and so this is an update since that open, and hope to help others. first, i now firmly believe it is a security flaw that is able to find its way in by not having downloaded any language support from ms. since my bandage-fix it has not happened yet though it can happen if you open a file that has been corrupted. when you tag it with .wab and open it, it will have up to three new rolodex cards in your list. working with an isolated machine and w98se. one person mentioned opeing it with .doc. one will notice that it has a header. in viewing the hexadecimal page of this file i noticed that the header is MsingID with tilde within it. without making anychanges and retaging it with .wab these new cards can contain simply the two letters. in my case it was: eG; yy ; and blank, labeled "unknown". i have since, been able to find extract tilde to come up on the desktop by opening old saved mail (transfering to a flop and opeing on an isolated machine without the enhancement). for me if i taged it with messenger and retagged it with .wab it would create yet another address card. this is creative backups to be sure. another experiment in logic one can conduct and i urge to be very careful, is while it is on your desktop, go to "find" and punch in ~ and you'll get a bunch of stuff as expected. but if you type in "~" you'll get that file alone. i think and i do not have any fancy conversion or import/export software, that a symbol is added to one or more of the address cards if not a new card each time a conversion or export/import takes place. i do not know of anyone out there who has come up with a fix, but it has not happened since i bandged it as i descibed in thread 794192. it did however happen when i opened an old saved foreign sourced email on the isolated machine. this happening to many, but it is hard to find when an extension is used as a file name. i do suggest before you experiment that you put it on a flop and conduct find in there. you can use find/advanced but be sure you are offline and without any communication programs open such as IM, OE, NM as far as windows is concerned. please, reply or if you start a new thread use tilde or ~tilde in the title so searches can find it. be very careful of files that use extensions as names without extensions. next i expect a hidden version of this annoyance. jacques, in formfactor heaven -- Posted via http://dbforums.com Tag: Breakin attempts Tag: 31934

number of logon failures filling up the security log
file. Adjusting logging properties corrected that issue.
BUT.......

How can I eliminate these bogus logon attempts? They are
all from 2 "workstations" not on my local network?

Do you have Internet Connection Firewall setup on your machine?

Right click on your internet connection for its properties, and see the
advanced tab.
