    - defrag.exe & dfrgntfs.exe ?? All of a sudden, If I have not touched the PC for around 15 minutes, I noticed my hard drive starts whirring like mad ... Obviously a bit concerned over that as I've not installed anything new for a while, I opened up Task Manager to see what was there. The next time it occured, I noticed that two new processes had sprung to life, namely; "defrag.exe" and "dfrgntfs.exe" Now, I presume these have something to do with disk management or defragmentation, but as I use Diskkeeper Pro 8 for this, I've not set either of these to run (nothing is in the Task Scheduler to start these off). Any idea what these are and why they keep wanting to run every time the PC sits idle? Were these both enabled following a recent Windows Update? and can I turn them off as it's rather annoying !!

The commercial says you can get a free virus scan at their website. On the top and bottom, there are scrolling messages telling you things to scare you, such as you already having a worm, etc. It advertises pop-up blockers, anti-spyware, etc. Anyone here try them yet?

    - XP Updates = NOT PASSED WIN LOGO TESTING ??? For the past several weeks I am not able to UPDATE via the Auto Updater OR from the Windows Update web site. Patches appear to download properly but the updates will NOT install. The pop up error message says verbatim: "The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo Testing to verify its compatibility wint Windows XP. This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator." Excuse me??? - These are official Microsoft critical security patches, right? - They have not passed Windows Logo Testing for Windows XP ???!! I have just reformated my HD, I reinstalled XP PRO and used the UPDATES disk sent from Microsoft dated Februrary 2004 (thank you, Bill Gates) and am now attempting to bring the system in line with critical patches available. I go through this every single day since 06/26/2004. Can anyone help me here??? ooh yes, I AM the system administrator on this computer!!! Noone else touches this machine!! After the last attempt today, the message on the updates site was again: "No Updates Were Installed The following items failed to install. To try installing them again, click Review and install updates, and then click Install Now again. Critical Update for ADODB.stream (KB870669) Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP (KB826939)" I run XP Pro, with ZA 5 installed. YES I gave the Windows Update AutoUpdate Client permission as Access "Trusted + Internet" + Server "Trusted + Internet" permission. I also check Norton's DATs daily and update every time a new DAT file is available. I run a complete system check with Norton's every day - NOTHING has been found.

It says someone logged onto my computer as "HelpAssistant" and messed with the settings. Now i can't do things an administrator can. Even when i set my account to administrator, it just acts as though it isn't. : / I have 2 VERY good firewalls and they didn't pick up a thing. - I get so many viruses. It's as if every day im targeted for 10 viruses. - The hacker is playing pranks on me (example: Changing my cursor just to freak me out). No matter how hard i try, i cant get rid of him! Please can someone tell me how to (legaly) track him? - I get a lot of (used to.. now i don't get them as much) DDOS attacks/DOS attacks - I have soooo much stuff on my computer that i think is bad (im 60% sure it is) but im scared to delete because it might be a system file. - The hacker won't stop playing tricks with me. Hes not seruis about wrecking my computer, just wants to freak me out and maybe cause a little damage. Could be wrong though : / I did have some REALLY bad virues that he gave me. - Im open to viruses/hackers. It seems as though my network file sharing services are on (the one that came with windows) and i think i get viruses from that. I turn them off and they just turn on again! Thanks!

    - Alleged Hacker Now Works for Microsoft Alleged Hacker Now Works for Microsoft Jul 9, 6:05 PM (ET) By ALLISON LINN SEATTLE (AP) - A man accused of hacking into search engine company AltaVista's computer systems about two years ago is now employed by Microsoft Corp., reportedly working on search technology. Laurent Chavet, 29, was arrested by FBI agents a week ago in Redmond, Wash., acting on a warrant issued in San Francisco. Federal prosecutors allege that Chavet hacked into AltaVista's computer system to obtain software blueprints called source code and recklessly caused damage to AltaVista's computers. Microsoft spokeswoman Tami Begasse said Friday that Chavet, who lives in suburban Kirkland, is an employee of Microsoft. She declined further comment on the nature of Chavet's employment or when he started at the company, citing Microsoft policy on not discussing personnel matters. Generally speaking, Begasse said: "We're confident in our policies and procedures we have in place to protect our code and to ensure that employees do not bring third party code into the work place." A woman who answered the phone at Chavet's house Friday said he would have no comment. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, citing anonymous sources, reported that Chavet had been working on Microsoft's MSN Search effort. In a research paper on search technology published in IBM Systems Journal, Chavet is listed as a search expert who works at Microsoft and was previously with AltaVista. In 2003, AltaVista, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., was acquired by search company Overture Services, Inc., which in turn was acquired by Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) later that year. Microsoft's MSN Web site currently uses both Overture's and Yahoo's search technology. But the Redmond company has begun an aggressive effort to develop its own search technology as it tries to compete with search engine leaders Google Inc. and Yahoo. Microsoft, which has acknowledged it lags in search, hopes to play catch-up with a broad-based search tool that allows users to also scour through e-mails, documents and even big databases. Court documents say Chavet worked at AltaVista from approximately June 1999 to February 2002. Beginning in late March 2002, the U.S. attorney's office alleges in court documents, Chavet began accessing AltaVista's computers without permission, causing about $5,000 in damage over a one-year period. A spokeswoman for Overture declined to comment on Chavet's case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Sonderby, who is in charge of the California unit that is prosecuting the case, told The Associated Press that the allegations against Chavet "do not pertain to Microsoft." Chavet was released on a $10,000 bond and is expected to make a court appearance July 20 in San Francisco. Both charges carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

    - Data Encryption I had two folders encrypted under Windows XP Professional. Due to a major infection that went undetected by Norton I was forced to reformat my hard drive. Not thinking, and due to the fact that I had long forgotten that the files were encrypted I moved the files to a second hard drive before I reformated the hard drive. I know that unless I had a key or a recovery agent I have completely lost this data. Is there really nothing else I can do??? Is there any way to retrieve the original encryption key?

    - Safe or not Safe? mprocessor.exe & K7Iku.exe I recently had/have some issues with Spyware/Adware and have installed a firewall and spyware/adware software. Since I suspect just about everything these days, does anyone know if the following programs are "safe" to pass the firewall and access the internet? Mprocessor.exe (I think this may have to do with the windows media player) and "k7IKu.exe" (or something close to it... not sure on exact spelling). Thanks in advance. Tag: "Connection Refused" Msg.

    - Need Spyware blocker that BANS executables! (WinXP) Subject says it all. Right now, I'm using WinPatrol. It does a good job of catching all the little programs that try to install themselves, but what it doesn't seem to have is the ability to automatically disable and delete certain common, recurring culprits, like TwainTech and Tvm.exe. Sometimes these programs seem to find a way of installing themselves once every few minutes, and it gets really quite annoying to have to address WinPatrol's prompts every time it happens. So, what software should I in fact be using? Thanks! Tag: "Connection Refused" Msg. Who Sent It?? Tag: 56903

    - Another Internet Explorer flaw found Another Internet Explorer flaw found Last modified: July 7, 2004, 5:32 AM PDT By Robert Lemos Staff Writer, CNET News.com A computer science researcher has highlighted the shortcomings of Microsoft's latest patch for its Internet Explorer browser by identifying another way that online vandals could run malicious programs on a Web surfer's computer. Microsoft on [July 2, 2004] released a fix that's designed to protect computers from one of three flaws that, together, could be used to digitally slip past a PC's security through the browser. This weekend, however, a security researcher identified another flaw that could serve the same purpose and that isn't fixed by Microsoft's patch. "They chose to address only one part of the problem," said Jelmer Kuperus, a computer science student in the Netherlands who posted the code for the work-around. "They should have seen this one coming." This marks the third time in a month that Microsoft has had to play catch-up to researchers' public disclosures about insecurities in Internet Explorer. In early June, Kuperus found a Web site that used two previously unknown vulnerabilities, plus the recently patched one, to install adware on victims' computers. Additionally, security researchers discovered last week that a milder vulnerability, which Microsoft had fixed in early versions of the browser, reappeared in later versions. Microsoft acknowledged the latest issue and said more fixes would be forthcoming. "The company is working to provide a series of security updates to Internet Explorer in coming weeks that will provide additional protection for customers," a company representative told CNET News.com. The company will also "continue to actively investigate these reports." The most recent flaw is not new--security researchers first discussed the issue in January, Kuperus said. It had originally been considered minor, but the flaw is significant because it can be used in conjunction with the two other vulnerabilities, which were found at the beginning of June. Together, all three add up to easy access to Windows computers running Internet Explorer. "Most exploits we are seeing developed today are composed of multiple vulnerabilities, (each one) bypassing a specific security feature of Internet Explorer," Kuperus said. "Individually, many of these issues often are fairly harmless, but combined they can pose serious risk." Both the original and the latest vulnerabilities exist in a library of components and scripting features known as ActiveX. The older flaw is in ADODB.Stream, while the latest vulnerability is in the Application.Shell component. Vulnerabilities in IE have become so common that some security researchers are recommending that people adopt alternate browsers. The Computer Emergency Response Team, the official U.S. body responsible for defending against online threats, also advised security administrators to consider moving to a non-Microsoft browser, as one of six recommended responses. Microsoft recommends that users go to the company's Protect Your PC site for the latest information. Tag: "Connection Refused" Msg. Who Sent It?? Tag: 56857

I have a near new Dell 8300 running Win XP Pro and Norton
Internet Security 2004. I have Windows ICF turned off.
Today I get a message with "Alert" in the title bar, and
the message is "The connection was refused when attempting
to contact forum.us.dell.com". Who sent this message, and
what do I do about it. I had no trouble making the
connection yesterday.

Update: I discovered that the Alert message came from my
browser. It turns out that server at the URL I had
addressed was down for about 1 or 2 hours. It sure is
annoying when programmers don't put the source of their
messages in the title bar. I mean, how hard could it be?

What's so hard to understand about an error message from your browser
popping up?

If your complaint is that IE doesn't properly identify that messages belong
to it or are verbose enough - join the club. Switch to Firefox
(www.mozilla.org) and be done with it.
