Help Needed
I was trying to sign up for online banking and the message
appeared that in order to do that I must upgrade to IE 6.
I managed to do that but when I restarted the computer, an
error message appeared saying something about the web was
not downloaded. Everything works except that I cannot log
on to the online banking or anything else that requires a
password. Clueless here. Can anyone help?
Many thanks. Tag: Current Internet Upgrade Tag: 34337
puremail.net
I have received a few files entitled Microsoft Critical
Update. It has an attachment that makes the message 154K.
I have also received an administrative notice that my
message to *&&**^@puremail.net was returned.
I've never seen Microsoft use an e-mail to do a critical
update and have never sent anything to anyone at
puremail.net.
Anyone have a clue as to what's happening?

Viruses, Worms, IP Addresses, and Different Computers?
I made an earlier post about my being bombarded with 400-500 virus/worm
email messages a day. This is despite being up to date with all the
AV's, MS updates, and the like. I turn off my machine at night and the
next morning 8 hours later I have ~200 email virus messages waiting for me.
I am an oldtimer network guy (SS7 on Unix platforms) and unfortunately
am not too
knowledgeable in the TCP/IP arena or Win-XP. My concern now is being "hacked"
over the internet, not by email but by some other technique using
my IP address. (I do know that the current SWEN email scam simply
generates tons of messages for my specific email address and
opening an email independent of IP address or computer causes the problem).
So I have the following questions:
1) Do I get a different IP address every time I connect to the
internet? (I use Earthlink dial-up...like I said I'm an oldtimer)
2) Can two users share the same IP address from a remote perspective
and then the ISP multiplexes to the correct destination?
3) I have read that hacker's can somehow send malicious code to
my machine and get my personal info (eg - passwords, credit card
numbers, etc). Can they do this other than email? If so, how? (a
concise explanation will suffice)
4) How would my specific computer be targeted if my IP address
changes? Are the hacker's programs just "out there" continually
pinging (or whatever) to see what they can find?
5) If I used a different computer would I be just as susceptible
or is my computer on a (s)hit-list? Or is my email address used
to get my current IP address and then an invasion is attempted?
(Again I know the email virus
issue is still relevant on a different computer).
6) Fortunately the email issue has been somewhat mitigated in that
I have been using Webmail. But I have a question: How is the issue
of opening an attachment handled with Webmail? Is there a danger
in this?
I know for the majority of you these are very dumb and basic
questions, but I appreciate your help--this current SWEN worm/virus
is my first security problem and now I am pretty worried.
Thanks,

MS03-039 Apply Problems
I am trying to apply the MS03-039 patch on NT 4 (6a)
workstations. I have a batch of particulary troublesome
boxes that won't accept the patch for whatever reason.
When I run the patch it appears to have successfully run,
says the patch is installed, and asks to reboot.
However, upon the reboot the patch isn't listed in the
registry, or in the add/remove programs listing and the
files that should have been dropped don't version
increase to the correct version. I sent the patch down
through Marimba with the silent and suppress reboot
switches, as well as connecting to the boxes with remote
control software and running the patch manually with the
gui. The patch always returns an exit code of zero to
marimba and never returns an error from the gui.
Anyone have some suggestions to try? I spoke briefly
with MS's phone support and they said that it would be OK
if I just bundled up the three files and new registry
keys and dropped them onto the machines. Anyone had any
luck with that route?
Thanks for you help!

Norton Install Problems
I feel silly asking MS about 2nd party software but when
Norton 2003 antivirus fails to load because it couldn't
update MSInstaller it pops up a diologue box saying
contact Microsot...
Running older 333MH AMD machine originally with W98
upgraded with ME. The older version of Norton that had
been updated in the past but now orphaned because it
supposidly only worked on W98 was on drive when I tried
to install the 2003. The install detected the older
version and was going to delete and replace it - part of
the old Norton is still there but can't find definition
files. And repeated attempts to load 2003 always ends
with fail and contact MS because it couldn't update the
MSInstaller. Downloaded the Installer from MS and when I
ran the Install.exe it poped up "Service Already
Installed."
Tried to remove program and start fresh but again that
fails because the MSInstaller isn't the right one or
can't be found. Tried safe mode but that fail bcause
install need full windows, etc.... Managed to get the
emergency CDBoot from the orton disk to run a scan but
the install fails after that as well.
Has someone out there come across this sort of problem
and found a solution to Norton's shortcomings? And if you
will, please share with me so I can load the software and
then search for Symantic/Norton alternative for all time
to come... Thanks, Larry Tag: Current Internet Upgrade Tag: 34234

MAKING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM SECURE AFTER =?iso-8859-1?Q?IT=92S?= BEEN
You can share this information, but give credit where credit is due.
I highly recommend keeping the hacked hard drive and purchasing a new
one. Of course you could mirror the drive, but you still need a
replacement drive to perform this task. You can?t produce the same
results by replicating files versus viewing the actual hard drive
itself. If your system was used to attack and crash a Network, or
System, you have proof for the FBI or any Law Enforcement Agency. This
would show you were not involved in any illegal activities until you
discovered your system was hacked.
The proper method is to re-format your hard drive, and install from
original CD-ROM. To safe guard against software manufacturer employee
malicious activity always virus check your CD-ROM. Not too long ago, I
decided to install X Software Application on a computer, media form was
a CD-ROM. Immediately, Norton Anti-virus told me a suspicious file
named "install.exe" was trying to load into my hard drive boot sector.
We all know an application doesn?t need to load in a boot sector of a
drive. After telling the computer not to install this application, it
still made it?s way and changed the name of my hard drive. The computer
access slowed down, while viewing directories the screen started to move
back and forth.
Virus check all floppy disks because hackers DO install a Backdoor,
Trojan Horse, or Virus on disks. They enjoy doing this especially when
you?re online using your computer, with a floppy in the drive. My
preference is to obtain a replacement CD-ROM if your software
applications are on a floppy. What concerned me most is a Backdoor was
planted in a .zip file and unopened. Norton?s Anti-virus application
couldn?t detect it. Let?s one day you come along and for no reason, you
decide to open this .zip file, voila, the Backdoor is unleashed.
There will always be evil code applications (to knock your system into
becoming a victim) out in this world which anti-virus applications won?t
be able to catch. Either the Trojan Horse already installed on your
system will eat the floppies alive, or hacker?s will. Hackers will bind
or disguise their applications and install them on your floppy disks.
Many Trojan Horses "hide" all traces of their applications they run on
your system. On your computer perform a search for a file named
"backdoor.zip". I will warn you now, if you unleash this baby after a
complete application install and go online, you will unleash many of the
secrets to the "underground" hackers world.
A number of Internet Service Providers allow free dial-up access with
DSL and Cable connections. Note: Hackers are taking advantage of your
canceled accounts even when they were closed. Until certain Internet
Services Providers and Telecommunication Companies correct their major
error; telecon your ISP and ask them to change your password since
malicious hackers are abusing your canceled account, holding you liable.
Disabling all unnecessary Window Services will assist in making your
computer system secure. How to accomplish this task is presented under
"Windows Services you might want to disable". If running any type of
Server, update the latest application patches.
Once you are able to view all Hidden Files and Folders, it would be
smart to make a backup copy of your registry. To perform this, do the
following:
A. Select Start, Run, type in Regedit, and press enter.
B. Then Select Registry, Export Registry File
C. In the box, type a name like "3-21-02.txt"
D. Select Save.
You can open this file in any text editor. What you want to do first is
check the bottom of the file. Hardware/Application/Device Driver
information can be setup by hackers at the bottom of the file. What I
did was "incorporate" one registry entry at a time. You could see a
major difference. Each time you save the registry file it will create a
file called RB000.CAB and so forth, depending on how many copies that
you have saved. If you perform the backup when the hackers are abusing
your system, you might only see 30 lines of text, the next time 100, and
so on. This is a clear sign that your computer is compromised.

Log on password
How do I eliminate having to use a password to log on to
Windows 2000? I stupidly did this!

PORT 1025 Open?
Hello -
I just installed Windows XP Pro and after applying all of
the patches from Windows Update, and installing McAfee
Firewall I went to GRC.Com and "Probed my Ports". I was
informed that Port 1025 (Blackjack port?) was open. I
never had this problem with McAfee Firewall and earlier
versions of Windows. GRC seems to think it's a Microsoft
problem. Any ideas on how I can fix it? Tag: Current Internet Upgrade Tag: 34129
