    - McAfee/Office 2k/MS03-026 Had a problem today with these three pieces on multiple Win2k pcs. Do they not play well together? I am now unable to uninstall or reinstall McAfee and Office. I deleted any reference to McAfee, Network Associates and vscan451 out of my registry, and when I go to reinstall or install a higher version of McAfee, Windows thinks the old 4.51 is still there. Any suggestions? Outlook, Excel, Word and Powerpoint were affected too. When we went into an Office program it kicked us out with an error about bad links. We have an SUS pushing patches, could this have triggered an adverse reaction on the part of McAfee and/or Office 2K? Tag: Content Advisor Tag: 30298

    - What the heck is going on? I have received about 14 Non-deliverable messages in my Hotmail Inbox today. All with a variety of email addresses I have never sent to and from Domains I have never heard of. All telling me a virus I sent them caused the e-mail to be non-deliverable. Some even include the virus in ASCII rendition of the binary. So I sent a email using my Hotmail address to a location I knew did not exist. I did this to see if my IP address was in the Non-deliverable e-mail. And it was. But in these Non-deliverable virus emails they do not include my IP address nor do they contain the SMTP header: X-Originating-IP: This makes it difficult determing what the IP address of the originating email was that generated the non-delivery. Here is an example: X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jEHjJx36Oi8+YDSEg8qKPPD Received: from agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM ([64.246.50.15]) by mc3-f34.law16.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Mon, 25 Aug 2003 12:09:50 -0700 Received: from mailnull by agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM with local (Exim 4.20) id 19rMiu-00076V-VB for hesterloli@hotmail.com; Mon, 25 Aug 2003 14:09:52 -0500 X-Failed-Recipients: agmay@agmay.com From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon@agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM> To: hesterloli@hotmail.com Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender Message-Id: <E19rMiu-00076V-VB@agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM> Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 14:09:52 -0500 X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - hotmail.com X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [47 12] / [47 12] X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - Return-Path: <> X-OriginalArrivalTime: 25 Aug 2003 19:09:51.0233 (UTC) FILETIME=[75A2F710:01C36B3C] This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

    - Outlook Express problems When I open my e-mail I have 50-100 unsolicited e-mails from people I do not know. The emails come from real e- mail adresses, the subject line is usually: Thanks You,version update, your details,or details. In the body of the e-mail is the same script every time: : SEE ThE ATTACHED FILE FOR DETAILS. There is no attachment and once when I answered the e-mail and said there was no attachment, it came back with a Thanks for the follow up e-mail. These are annoyingg, and I have even received a couple of computer message back from the system that said an e-mail you tried to send contained a virus and was not delivered to ?? I did not send the e-mail, and as far as I can tell do not have any visible worms to my security /firewall. What's up with this? Any ne else having these problems ?

    - Upgrade MDAC to version 2.8 vs MS03-033 Patch Greetings, I manage a domain with Windows 2000 Domain Controllers, Exchange 2000 running on Windows 2000, 2000 Professional on all of the desktops, and a handful of NT 4.0 servers either running SQL Server 7.0 or Oracle applications. I'm not sure if this is significant, but I'll also note that we have a few member servers and clients running Microsoft Great Plains eEnterprise version 6.0 (soon to be upgraded to version 7.5). At that time we will also be updating our SQL servers to SQL Server 2000. I was set to apply the MS03-33 patch to all of the Windows 2000 Server and Pro systems, but we have a staff member proposing the alternative of upgrading MDAC to version 2.8, in lieu of patching. The logic here is that version 2.8 is not at risk from the exploits addressesed by the patch. My preference is to apply the patch and not to update. I'm looking for other opinions here. Is the update to MDAC 2.8 a suitable alternative? The NT 4.0 servers are running MDAC version 2.1, which is not addresses by the patch. Would it be better to update them to version 2.5 and then patch or go straight to version 2.8? Thanks in advance, Alan Tag: Content Advisor Tag: 30165

Other versions referring to it as a link instead of a nude picture. So this begs the questions: Did the Sobig initial spread by just clciking on a link?
