    - How can I determine the signer of a CAB/DLL/EXE file? Hi there, I'm not sure whether this is the right group to post this query to, but if not, any pointers to the relevant resources would be helpful :) What I'm attempting to do is write an installer that will i) download a CAB/DLL from the internet, ii) verify its digital signature, and iii) check the name of the signer. Only if our company is the signer will the CAB/DLL be installed on the user's machine. I have managed i) with WinInet*() and ii) with WinVerifyTrust(), but I am at a loss as to how to achieve iii). Can anyone suggest a method that would allow me to do this? It must be possible since IE displays the name of the signer when you download an ActiveX from the internet, but I'm stuggling to find an API function to extract this information from a PE/DLL/CAB file.

I'm reluctant to do so if I don't have to, since I'm afraid the patch will interfere with other programs on my system. And if I still do need to install the patch, can you tell me which one it is?

    - Weird actions of blaster? Or maybe this is normal...I have and have always had my norton up to date for live up date. Then my comptuer pops up with the 'red alert' box from norton that my computer is infected with the blaster worm. I cannot quarantine or anything, only can hit ok. This will always pop up twice in a row. Then I do a system scan in all files for a virus, and it won't show up, I've downloaded the fixblast tool from norton to fix it and it says my computer is not infected. After connecting to the interent my machine gives me the 1 min countdown to restart. I have since turned my RPC to not restart my computer but to restart the service if it's interuppted so I could get the patch put on. Also in my processes the msblast.exe doesn't show up and my registry doesn't have the added key to run the ms blast. My question is how the heck do I get rid of it? Am I going to have to completely reinstall my XP? Thanks for any help! Jeanne Tag: Internet disconnected very often. Tag: 28304

Hi Diana,

It sounds like you have been caught by a new virus known
W32.Blaster.Worm. You may have heard reports on the news
about it recntly. You should visit:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w3
2.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html

This site has information on the removal of the virus,
and the relevant downloads needed. Just copy and paste
the above address into the address line of your web
browser. If this doesn't work then simply visit the
symantec home page at www.symantec.com, where you can
find more information on it. I suggest your best bet is
probably to find an alternative means of accessing these
sites, as you may be unable to stay online long enough to
access the relevant downloads before the virus cuts you
off.

Good luck.
