    - MS03-037 Problem with windows installer Hi, Someone in my comapny has installed Microsoft Update MS03-037, and now says that the Windows installer opens any time he uses any Office application (including everytime he opens an email in outlook). He claims that a window that says "Windows Insstaller" opens for a mintute then closes and then application opens as it should. Is there any way to rollback the patch, or is this a known problem with a resolution? Thanks in advance for any advice you might have! Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31969

    - Why Im Writing My Book - OT in a way This babe doesn't post that often so this stuff isn't spam and you'll "know this". There is nothing wrong in trying to help "millions" of computer victims using Windows and the Internet. My topics are not off topic and "you'll know this". So stop all your BS, geez! This babe is tired of your crap and I'll go back to not responding to anyone unless you e-mail me. Try me! Just remember, all your insults make me prouder and my EGO is already big. Way can't some of you make the time to correct my so called "misinformation" and this babe will listen. If my words are incorrect, they will be changed, if you?re worthy of it. "The Trackers" don?t have time for all your street dick games, period. If you don?t want to listen, please just put me on ignore. WHY I'M WRITING THIS BOOK: First off, the members of "The Trackers" are Tracker, Bandito, Pandora, Horse, Sparky and Spooky. My purpose in writing this book is because of what I learned was happening to my computers. At first, the Internet was an object to explore, discover, and communicate with the world around me. When my kid elected to adopt a ferret, I desired to gain as much information on this cute animal in order to raise it up properly. I started my search for Websites which could be of assistance. But as time wore on and my search grew narrower, I limited my options down to alt.pets.ferrets. A few months later, to my amazement, I gave the ferret people another way to use my computer. I was unaware the hackers were going to use my computers for an avenue of their own. So I was glad to have found alt.pets.ferrets, but shocked after posting there to discover, "hackers". To dissuade people who lack the proper knowledge from posting, they started to use personal information as a means of attack. Examples of these can be found in later pages; to the extent they were willing to go to do this. Some information on ferrets were given, but when I went back for additional input, I was advised and told in so many words, "the answer is good enough since we are experts and you have no reason to question them". I felt sorry for the people who lack the proper knowledge when they were told to go away, and that their questions were stupid. No question is stupid, only the answers, so I decided to do further research on this group of people and what their problems were. I then discovered these people had hacked not only my computers, but others who went to their Newsgroup. The following is about the people who were the motivating factor for this Book. How in my research I found hackers, flamers, stalkers, etc. This Book is written to help the thousands of computer owners that are disparaged daily by spiteful individuals; to expose the hackers for who, what, where, and why they continue their malicious activity. Another goal is to have these owners close "all" their open ports to the outside world (where applicable). Tracker Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31961

    - 5 Pages from 5 Chapters Figured out the excerpts from the five Chapters that I can put on my Website. The Chapters were written in order per their importance to "me" in my book. All I have to do now is figure out how to get all of them on the site and make the time. Thanks for all your suggestions and they surely are appreciated. May be now, the world will realize that "My Book" on CD-ROM does exist and it will help millions of computer users. Tracker Shining and Glowin Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31956

    - repeated downloads of the same security update I keep getting the same security update (#823559) from Microsoft (3 times in the last 36 hours, at least 6 times in the past week). I have Windows 98 and McAfee virus protection, and I'm a computer illiterate. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but I wonder if there are other updates I'm not getting, and it does take a little time and trouble each time. Whom do I contact to find out?

    - Question about network share access Hi All, I have a small office network with a win 2000 server and XP Pro workstations. I have set certain security access to some files on the server for some users in my network. My problem is with the network just not letting me get into these folders some days, and letting me on others. I end up having to shut down my server to get the network working again, and I am hosting websites so shutting down is a bad idea. Any idea why this access is inconsistent? One day: I get in fine Next day: I get "Not Accessible" errors. Please help. I hope there is something I can do and this isn't just an "Undocumented Feature" of MS OS's!

    - ~tilde on desktop i think it important to start a new thread with this subject titled so. though this is discussed in many threads throughout db it is difficult to get the search to parse out such a file. if you go to my reply to thread 794192 i have stated my experience with this file and so this is an update since that open, and hope to help others. first, i now firmly believe it is a security flaw that is able to find its way in by not having downloaded any language support from ms. since my bandage-fix it has not happened yet though it can happen if you open a file that has been corrupted. when you tag it with .wab and open it, it will have up to three new rolodex cards in your list. working with an isolated machine and w98se. one person mentioned opeing it with .doc. one will notice that it has a header. in viewing the hexadecimal page of this file i noticed that the header is MsingID with tilde within it. without making anychanges and retaging it with .wab these new cards can contain simply the two letters. in my case it was: eG; yy ; and blank, labeled "unknown". i have since, been able to find extract tilde to come up on the desktop by opening old saved mail (transfering to a flop and opeing on an isolated machine without the enhancement). for me if i taged it with messenger and retagged it with .wab it would create yet another address card. this is creative backups to be sure. another experiment in logic one can conduct and i urge to be very careful, is while it is on your desktop, go to "find" and punch in ~ and you'll get a bunch of stuff as expected. but if you type in "~" you'll get that file alone. i think and i do not have any fancy conversion or import/export software, that a symbol is added to one or more of the address cards if not a new card each time a conversion or export/import takes place. i do not know of anyone out there who has come up with a fix, but it has not happened since i bandged it as i descibed in thread 794192. it did however happen when i opened an old saved foreign sourced email on the isolated machine. this happening to many, but it is hard to find when an extension is used as a file name. i do suggest before you experiment that you put it on a flop and conduct find in there. you can use find/advanced but be sure you are offline and without any communication programs open such as IM, OE, NM as far as windows is concerned. please, reply or if you start a new thread use tilde or ~tilde in the title so searches can find it. be very careful of files that use extensions as names without extensions. next i expect a hidden version of this annoyance. jacques, in formfactor heaven -- Posted via http://dbforums.com Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31934

    - Possible information leakage from DNS quirks Hello, Two possible issues here, Microsoft DNS client related. I don't know if they are seriously exploitable, or just information leakage: 1 - I suppose this one is related to Microsoft Knowledge base article 272020 (Unnecessary DNS Query for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<WorkgroupName>) (http:/ /support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;272020). Although not mentioned on the KB, if your WorkgroupName happens to be similar to an existing Internet domain, you'll be querying a DNS server outside your network. For example, I take care of rf.com.br domain. It seems someone (oustide my domain) has set his Win workgroup name as RF. We are in Brazil, so it looks like Windows 'decided' the machine is part of rf.com.br domain (more on this on the second issue). Because of this, the guy's ISP DNS servers forwards the unnecessary queries to my DNS: 200.204.0.138 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Standard query SOA _ldap._tcp.Primeiro-site-padrao._sites.gc._msdcs.www.rf.com.br 200.232.120.2 -> 200.204.0.138 DNS Standard query response, No such name 200.204.0.10 -> 200.232.120.3 DNS Standard query SOA _ldap._tcp.Primeiro-site-padrao._sites.gc._msdcs.www.rf.com.br 200.232.120.3 -> 200.204.0.10 DNS Standard query response, No such name That goes on for the following names too (hundreds of times a day): _kerberos._tcp.Primeiro-site-padrao._sites.dc._msdcs.www.rf.com.br _gc._tcp.Primeiro-site-padrao._sites.www.rf.com.br Note that "Primeiro_site_padrao" means "First_template_site" or something like that. The aforementioned KBA does not mention anything but "_l dap._tcp.dc._msdcs.WorkgroupName" being queried out - maybe it's not the same bug. I wonder if this is just information leakage, or exploitable in any way (by crafting the DNS reply). 2 - Probably the same guy has his Dynamic DNS update enabled, so his machine (up 24/7) also keeps asking to dynamically update my DNS (I ended up firewalling his IP out; opened it just to grab this). Although my DNS refuses the update, Windows seems to insist, down to trying to negotiate TKEYs: 200.168.31.51 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Dynamic update SOA rf.com.br 200.232.120.2 -> 200.168.31.51 DNS Dynamic update response, RRset does not exist 200.168.31.51 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Standard query SOA rf-ubpumac1u03q.www.rf.com.br 200.232.120.2 -> 200.168.31.51 DNS Standard query response, No such name 200.168.31.51 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Standard query A yankee.rf.com.br 200.232.120.2 -> 200.168.31.51 DNS Standard query response A 200.232.120.2 200.168.31.51 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Dynamic update SOA rf.com.br 200.232.120.2 -> 200.168.31.51 DNS Dynamic update response, Refused 200.168.31.51 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Standard query TKEY 996432412690-2 200.232.120.2 -> 200.168.31.51 DNS Standard query response, Refused 200.168.31.51 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Standard query TKEY 996432412690-2 200.232.120.2 -> 200.168.31.51 DNS Standard query response, Refused 200.168.31.51 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Dynamic update SOA rf.com.br 200.232.120.2 -> 200.168.31.51 DNS Dynamic update response, Refused 200.168.31.51 -> 200.232.120.2 DNS Standard query TKEY 1047972020242-3 200.232.120.2 -> 200.168.31.51 DNS Standard query response, Refused Note that his Netbios name is rf-ubpumac1u03q (used to be RF only - looks like he fresh-reinstalled and is using the default installation name). Again, not sure if this can be exploited (I'm no hacker), but it sure is information leakage. Regards, Joao S Veiga Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31805

    - Invalid install parameters /q:u /r:n - MDAC 03-033 I can't believe these guys can't even get their installations consistent. Q fixes can usually be installed in Quiet mode (no user prompts) and without forcing a reboot by putting /q:u /r:n at the end. With this fix, the user must hit OK to do the install and a reboot is forced at the end - we have no control of how this install is done. I want to push this install blind (no user needing to be logged in) for unattended (shared, test, backup) workstations, and quiet for users (don't ask them to approve). Anyone figure out how to do this for this patch? Microsoft, you're just not getting better at this! What about your stated intent of not making patches force a reboot!

    - Log on problems I screwed up my company supplied laptop by tring to set it up for home internet use. I went into the System Setting and set it for home use. Now I get a screen that comes up during start up that says "admin" and it wants a password. My user password no longer works and I can't get back into the control panel to reset it back the way it was. Any ideas how to log on? Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31769

    - "use this patch immediately" I keep receiving this patch from "microsoft." Is this a valid Microsoft patch? I don't like the way the e-mail is formatted (doesn't look very professional - from Microsoft)and am not sure it's really from Microsoft. I keep deleting the e-mail - just wondering if anyone else has seen or received this. Thanks Dennis Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31768

    - Strange RPCSS activity caught by File Monitor Using ZAP firewall (135->127 blocked) and AVGP antivirus, all MS Updates applied. OS is registered Win98 1st. Also have AdAware & Spybot. None of these are indicating any security issues. However, my domain is having LOTS of static IP's scanned (ICMP ping) every few seconds - pings are blocked on all machines). I've previously implemented "UnPlug n' Pray" to turn off MS UPnP, too. Recently on one machine I had font for a few 3rd party pgms (old installs, until now been displaying fine for years) start showing blank square boxes instead of readable text (such as with the Spell Checker named WordWeb 1.51). Restoring backup of Fonts folder content and Registry didn't cure, so used File Monitor (http://www.sysinternals.com) to watch WordWeb and saw it try to use a font named MANGAL.TTF (probably installed from MS Update to support other languages in IE). Used Fonts Folder utility to delete it. Rebooted, no cure & no trace by File Monitor of what font it was trying to load for a replacement. But while monitoring with File Monitor this entry occurred: 6:51:18 AM Rpcss Read C:\BATCH\MOUSEMGR.DLL SUCCESS Offset: 20770816 Length: 4096 Interesting thing is I do have that BATCH folder (I created it years ago) but no such filename exists there or anywhere on any drive (does now, since I put a attrib +S+H+R dummy text file of that name in BATCH folder). But how could File Monitor have had a read success before I created that dummy filename??? I am seriously suspecting a security breach, but no luck in pinning it down. Anyone have some comments, ideas, etc.? Mostly Anonymous Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31767

    - Critical Update Problem I have windows 98 SE. I first downloaded and installed the latest MS critical update MS03-017 (Windows Media Player)when it came out. This critical update continues to pop up on my screen every other day. In frustration, I downloaded and installed this critical update a second time (which is displayed on my download history). I would like to know what I can do to stop this download from popping up on my system. This critical update will even pop up randomly when I am surfing the web. The most frustrating aspect of this is that I don't even have Windows Media Player 7.1. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Tag: MS03-037 and Office 2000 Tag: 31766

Can I install this patch on systems running the basic
Install of office 2000, which have not been updated by
Service Releases or Service Packs? Or do I need to have
sr1 and service pack 3 installed first?

Thanks
