    - Disappearing website access Starting Friday pm I began having problems accessing various websites -- for example, I could get to Hotmail but could not access mail -- could get to ebay opening page but could not access my accounts -- etc... -- now I can't get to Microsoft directly (came thru a link) or Symantec -- page keeps timing-out with a "page not available" type message. It seems to be getting worse the last 24 hrs. This is my idea how a worm/virus would work but have a firewall & Norton Antivirus -- nothing shows up on scans. Any ideas where to look or what to do? This forum seems to have some very good information & hopefully someone can help. Thanks Tag: MBSA and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Tag: 30335

    - Porn.dialer When I did a virus scan, it showed "naviWebAccess.exe - Tool: Porn.dialer.gen!" on my computer. It's in my scanner software. If I uninstall & reinstall the scanner, will this rid me of this file? Also, is this considered a trojan? It concerns me how it got there - I use Black Ice firewall. Thank you.

    - 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: MBSA and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation 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 ??

    - 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: MBSA and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Tag: 30165

I am using Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 1.1.1.
When I am checking security update of Windows NT 4.0
Workstation nothing about very important critical
security patch MS03-026 (Q823980) is displayed. I have
found out that in mssecure.xml file that contain
information about all updates there is information that
MS03-026 is applicable only on Windows NT 4.0 Server and
not on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.

Is there any possibility how to force MBSA to display all
needed patches for Windows NT 4.0 Workstation? I mean to
get correct MSSECURE.XML file. Does anybody use MBSA for
scaning Windows NT 4.0 Workstation?

Thanks

The reason that NT 4 workstation isn't covered in the XML file anymore is
that NT 4 workstation is past its extended support phase:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx

Thus, security hotfixes are neither being produced for NT4 workstation, nor
are they being tested against that platform.
