    - help I have been illegally networked for over a year. Got a new computer 2 months ago with HP home. This person (I know the identity) has worked around firewalls, Mcafee, Zone Alarm, you name it. Ive wiped the drives 3 times but persistent information is being stored in C;, D; S; K; F; G: drives, jsut that I know of. Microsoft has told me they are obviously into the registry and Im at a loss to stop this. Any ideas? Tag: NT Kernel trying to access net Tag: 23490

    - NT server share ownership and permissions When an NT server share was set up, the group 'Everyone' owned the share. Hi All, The share has subdirectories that are not permissioned to the group 'Everyone'. Does this mean that if a user in the group 'Everyone' wants to change permissions on the sub-directories they have no permissions over they have to take-ownership individually (e.g. Owner = 'SheildD')? or Can the user change file and subdirectory permissions anyway because they are the owner of the share by being part of the group 'Everyone'? Thanks guys. Tag: NT Kernel trying to access net Tag: 23476

    - Logging-on to WinNT domain after hard disk change We're using Ghost images in our lab for backing up the systems. After I pull out the HD from its drawer, I do not succeed logging on to our NT domain again, and I have to disconnect and then re-connect to the domain using local administrator. While we're doing this process so many times a day I find this very disturbing. Therefore, I'd like to hear from you whether there's a bypass to this problem. Thanks in advance.

    - Pop-Up Windows How does one get rid of pop ups. I get a lot of dating service, sex, reducing and loan pop ups. It is most annoying when I am in the middle of a letter or game and one of these windows over rides whatever is on the screen.It is also embarrassing to return to my computer several hours later and find a sex ad in the middle of my screen. I've been able to use the "My Computer...Add/Remove programs" on a couple. But, most of these new pop ups don't appear on the add/delete program screen (at least not in any form I can recognize) so I can't remove them. Where can they be found, haw are they recognizable from regular program items (ie. do they have a peculiar file extension etc.) and how do I get rid of them. If there is no easy way, is there a program that will do the trick. Tag: NT Kernel trying to access net Tag: 23430

    - strange error We have about 5 NT machines that have been acting very strangly over the last few months. It started with one and seemed to "spread" to the others over a few weeks. I was checking the Event log on 2 of them, and they both have the same error several times in the same day, It read The browser has received an illegal datagram from the remote computer QA771C to name OUR_COMPUTER on transport Nwlnk. The data is the datagram. I replaced our computers name for security reasons. The remote computer had many different names, I counted 9, and it looks to be something like a port scan or something like that, because I have gotten this error over 50 times in under 20 minutes. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Tag: NT Kernel trying to access net Tag: 23421

After receiving the DB via CD, quite a few of the objects(macros, forms, etc..) aren't there. Is this due to the DB have security applied to it ?

    - can i stop web page redirection ok. The problem: Some one changed a file in my IE program Files. Reason I came to this conclusion: First: my search page was changed from the msn search page to www.white-pages.ws. They did a good job too. When I went to click customize search it opened the same page in a new window; very clever. Solved this by downloading upgrade of IEv5.5 to IE v6.02 and blocking web page by putting in the restricted sites under Internet Options/Security Tab, restricted Icon. Second: I tried viewing a geocities.com site and was redirected to www.white-pages.ws. So I typed in www.geocities.com and the page came up. Now when I typed in www.geocities.com/ (note: added the back slash to indicate subdirectory) and it came up with white page ws again. So I went offline and deleted the temporary internet (all off-line content) and cookies then placed in the address bar www.geocities.com ... unable to pull up page off-line. I then typed in www.geocities.com/ and poof, the page shows up. I assume it is like the 404 Error page and I just don't know what the name of the file is. I had another website change that in a previous version IE. Questions: Is there a place where you can find out the name of these files or where they are stored? ie. 404 Error, Search page, and so on. Is there any way to stop web redirection? So that instead of being redirected to www.white-pages.ws.com it will ask or prevent the redirection. Is there a way to fix this problem, or is it a standard Window's reformat and reinstall issue? I thank you for your time. A response would be more than greatly appreciated.

    - Blank windows update notifications... Lately, when XP's automatic windows updater has announced an update is ready, clicking on "info" has produced a blank window: No information about what's about to be downloaded. This means either MS has developed a bug in the updater or someone else has hijacked the update system and is doing God knows what with it. These blank updater windows have been labeled both "Windows Updates" as well as "Intel Network" updates, which is meaningless, as a practical matter, since a hacker could label it anything he wants.
