Certificate Template
The validity period from the user certificate template in win2k certificate
authority is only one year if it is a enterprise ca.

Spybot Search & Destroy recovery?
Hello,
Does anyone here know antything about Spybot Search &
Destroy? I have used Spybot to remove some of the spyware
on my computer but when I open Spybot and go to Recovery
there is nothing listed there. Aren't all the "fixed
problems" supposed to show up so that I can undo them if
I need too? Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup to ask
this but I didn't know where else to go!
Thanks, Val Tag: MS04-028 - .NET Framework Tag: 61326
HOWTO: Enable/Disable USB interface and/or USB storage devices using Group Policy in Windows XP
Hello from Istanbul/Turkey,
In Windows 2000 or 2003 Active Directory and Windows XP workstation
environment, you can enable or disable all the USB interface or just
USB storage devices using group policy. Just follow:
1. Create a custom adm file, you can name it usb.adm with the
following content:
; Beginning of the file
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
CLASS MACHINE ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
CATEGORY !!USB
POLICY !!REstrictUSB
KEYNAME "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\usbuhci"
PART !!RestrictionValue NUMERIC
VALUENAME Start
END PART
END POLICY
POLICY !!REstrictUSBStorage
KEYNAME "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR"
PART !!RestrictionValueStorage NUMERIC
VALUENAME Start
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
#endif
[strings]
USB="Restrict USB Access"
RestrictUSB="USB Interface Restriction"
RestrictionValue="Enter 4 to restrict USB interface, 3 to enable"
RestrictUSBStorage="USB Storage Restriction"
RestrictionValueStorage="Enter 4 to restrict USB storage, 3 to enable"
; End of the file
2. Put this file in C:\Windows\Inf in one of your Domain Controllers
(DC).
3. On this DC, run AD Users and Computers, select the Organizational
Unit (OU) you want to enable or disable USB. Open Group Policy (GP)
for this OU.
4. Select Administrative Templates under Computer Configuration. Right
click and select Add/Remove Templates, click add and select usb.adm
and click open, then close Add Remove Templates window.
5. Now you can see "Restrict USB Access" category under Administrative
Templates. To see its contents, you should click Administrative
Templates and on View menu clik Filtering. Clear "Only show policy
settings that can be fully manages" option. Click OK.
6. Click Restrict USB Access. There are two policies here, USB
Interface Restriction (UIR) and USB Storage Restriction (USR).
7. If you want to fully enable full USB, enable two of the policies
and enter the value of 3. If you want to enable USB interface but
disable USB storages, enter 3 for UIR, 4 for USR. If you want to
disable USB all, enter 4 for both values.
PS: Because this registry setting is considered as a preference, even
if you remove the policy, the setting remains there. So you should
enable this settings in all your organizational units.
I've tried this in Windows 2003 and Windows XP environments and saw it
works. I didn't try in Windows 2000, but i guess it works there too. I
hope this helps you too. Tag: MS04-028 - .NET Framework Tag: 61325
Questions about digital signature
I have installed a digital certificate into my OS.
How can I know whether an email address is with a digital
certificate?
If the person whom I will send email to holds a
certificate which didn't come from the CA wich issueed
mine, Can I send him a secured email?
If my OS is hacked by someone, Is my certificate secure(

need to install these two updates?
I have Windows 2000 (not XP) but I do have Office XP. Why
won't office.microsoft.com (updates) or windowsupdate.com
tell me? Do I have to read down the list of affected

combinations but they all seem to fail in the same way. The Load
works fine to CurrentUser,My store on Win98. It doesn't seem to like
importing to localMachine,root on win98?
Dim st As New Store
Dim storeLocation As CAPICOM_STORE_LOCATION
Dim storeName As String
Dim fileName As String

strange files on my computer
I was advised to delete anything unusual from
c:/documents and settings/owner/local settings/temp.
Whenever I try to do this, there is a file that I cannot
delete because the system says someone else is using it.
The file name first was 1376.fdr. At the time, I was not
signed on to the internet, and I didn't even have the
telephone line plugged in. This morning, I had the same
problem with fdr1416.fdr. What is worse, I went to
delete the cookies on temporary internet files, and when
I came back to look at the temp folder, there was a file
called ~df434c.tmp there, and I cannot delete that
either. Since I was not signed on to the internet then
and did not have my computer plugged in to the internet,
either, and I have disabled the wireless zero
configuration on msconfig. It seems to me that there is
no way this could happen unless someone is on my computer
when I am. I run adaware every day, and also have
spywareblaster running. I have installed security pack

Password Locked
Hi there. I just want to make sure about something. We
have a user whose password keeps locking out. We checked
our security event log and there are 2 PC that registers
that locks her password. Both these machines are hers and
only she uses them. She insists that there is some kind
of problem because she types the password in correctly.
First off she is very high up and does not appreciate a
technician to tell her that she types like her ass. 2nd
Some other technician told me that there can be a dialer
installed on her PC that tries to connect to a site and it
runs in the back ground. Is this possible? Can't I load
a key logger so that I can proof to her that it is a user
error and not the PC or network. Tag: MS04-028 - .NET Framework Tag: 61211
Disabling the ability to read/write to a USB device??
It is highly desirable that USB drives are not used in
certain locations (such as financial institutions) - In
general this is a very difficult policy to enforce as USB
is so handy you don't want to generally disable it.
Is it possible to disable the ability to read and/or write
to a USB device using the inherent security settings (e.g
domain or group policy) for different user groups ?
Cheers

Where is a good place to report websites deliberately hacking sufe
Where does one report a site deliberately trying to infect surfers with a
hacking virus? I mean other than the abuse address shown by Whois, because
the netzone holder and my ISP are essentially the same, and my ISP doesn't
give a hoot, based on prior reports to them from the same netzone that were
responded to with, basically, the information that I ought to resolve the
matter myself.
I come across a website that tries to compel acceptance of a virus (in this
case Mhtreder.ge) which enables further hacking, at 4.31.21.33, at a
textually described (from Google) site called
nakedpics.name/britney-spears-clips-sexy/ britneyspearsclipssexy.html
(three guesses what I was surfing for).
My Panda firewall/virus picked up the named virus or variant being
downloaded via one of those OS-mimetic pop-up windows and which requires
going to task manager and completely nuking the browser to get out of.
By coincidence, or perhaps not, I have been having persistent port scan
attacks from the 4.31.x.y netzone since at least the start of September.
They're a busy little set in that netzone!
At any rate, is there a proper place for me to report a website deliberately
virus infecting surfers other than a nonresponsive company and potentially
nonresponsive abuse email address? Tag: MS04-028 - .NET Framework Tag: 61208
Where does one report a webiste deliberately forcing virus accepta
When I come across a website that tries to compel acceptance of a virus (in
this case Mhtreder.ge) which enables further hacking, who does one tell? My
impression is that my ISP, Verizon, couldn't care less - I'm utterly on my
own with the help of the Whois account they've set up for their users. This
is despite that their customer support in other areas is pretty good in my
experience.
Using Whois in this case is problematic, as the site, at 4.31.21.33, at a
textually described (from Google) site called
nakedpics.name/britney-spears-clips-sexy/ britneyspearsclipssexy.html
(three guesses what I was surfing for), is either directly held and not
subassigned by Level3, which I understand to be part of GTE, which I
understand to be associated with Verizon. The area is skipped over in a
search for subassignments from the 4.x.x.x-4.x.x.255 netzone holder. Talk
about your self-looping error.
My Panda firewall/virus picked up the named virus or variant being

By coincidence, or perhaps not, I have been having persistent port scan
attacks from the 4.31.x.y netzone since at least the start of September,
though on certain occasion 4.x.y.z IPs are the remote sender and on rare
occassions it is from Asia.

virus infecting surfers? Tag: MS04-028 - .NET Framework Tag: 61207

The program in question generally has to open or display the JPEG image in
