    - Can't install critical update I run W'95 and am notified periodiclly to chec for critical updates. Been doin this a year or two with this present system, no problems installing. In Jan got notification of "Cummulative Security Updates for Internet Explorer 6 Service pack", I chose to install it and it downloaded. But it spent some time in the "install" mode and came back with the message that instalation had failed. I tried to download again but it would not, because it was already downloaded and on the computer hard drive somewhere. I tried to install it again and every time it failed. I tried to find the downloaded file but was unable to do so with the "Find... Files and Folders" system initiated with the "START" button. My intent was to find and remove the download from the hard drive and then download again and then try to install the new download. I searched by what guresses I could make about the name, then I searched by the days date. This all failed to find the file, so I waited til the next notice which came this AM and I tried to download but it simply skipped that again, (apparently recognizing that it was alredy somewhere on the hard drive). It did try to install but failed again. My question now is obvious, "what do I try next?" thanks Melo Tag: Opening attachments Tag: 46140

    - Critical Update? I read of this serious security problem. The problems affected a technology in the newest versions of Windows known as "abstract syntax notation," a way to share data across different computers. Some of Microsoft's built-in security features -- such as its Kerberos cryptography system -- rely on the flawed software. I have Windows XP Home Edition. I'd like to know which one of the "Critical Updates" will patch this problem. Tag: Opening attachments Tag: 46139

    - SUS management - Any Ideas? I have tried numorous failed attempts of setting up our SUS server on our local domain. It seriously does not like me. I have installed the latest version of SUS and MBSA on the server and my client machine runs the latest version of MBSA and also the "SUSadmin" utility to set up options for the SUS server In the options in SUSadmin, I have set the following options Specify the name your clients use to locate this update server: Server name: SERVER1 (our servername and this server is syncronising directly from the microsoft updates site. Our server is running small business server 2000 which supports Group policy management and all that. I have tried to set these options for automatic updates so that our clients connect to the server in opposed to microsoft updates site (no offence all you microsoft guys out there ;P) as our server stores all updates from syncronisation locally. Under the group policy setting I have tried setting the "local intranet server used to aquire updates" to both server1 and http:\\server1 and neither has really done anything running MBSA from dos, there is an option to call a program "mbsacli.exe" and specify a SUS serve I have tried the following: mbsacli.exe /sus "server1 mbsacli.exe /sus "SERVER1 mbsacli.exe /sus "http://server1/susadmin mbsacli.exe /sus "http://SERVER1/SUSadmin mbsacli.exe /sus "http://server1 and so on. None of these really work, I either get an "invalid sus server" "could not get list of approved updates" or it connects to microsof again. This is really frustrating. Any ideas on how to fix this?? If I can get it scanning correctly here, then I could fix the group policy SUS services is installed on the D:\ on our serve MBSA is installed on the C:\ of our serve Just in case that bears any importance...

    - Windows Updates, can I "back them up"? I have a computer that has just been upgraded from Windows98 to Windows98SE. I know that many critical updates are available for Windows98SE, and I have access to a couple of other computers with those updates installed. Is there any way to export these updates from a computer in which they are already installed and then install them onto another system? Alternatively, can these updates be downloaded from Microsoft in a format that lends itself to exporting from system to system (zip file or otherwise)? (i.e. download them at a computer with a fast connection, burn to CD, then install onto separate system). This other system only has access to a 56K modem and I would like to avoid a night of tying up the phone line. Thanks in advance for any advice on this issue. Tag: Opening attachments Tag: 46062

    - McAfee Internet Security Suite VS Nortons NIS ? Windows XP HE I kinda hate to ask this question on here as I do not want to create a mile long posting as this is a touchy subject, but here goes. I have a neighbor that is not a PC person at all, uses Windows XP Home Edition mainly for Office applications and email, web research. They asked me what is a good "totally integrated" package for Internet Security. I tried to explain that I have had much better luck with many of the free packages that just do one thing at a time (ie Zone Alarm etc...) They also want Parental Controls. The only two total packages I can think of are McAfee InternetSecurity Suite 2004, Version 6 (nice price at least for $39) and Norton NIS. I am not a Norton fan ( I was when Peter Norton was around, but that has been 14 years) and the only thing I use from McAfee (used to be Neopoint) is the Visual Trace. Any comments on the "lesser of the two evils" ? Its been years since using either one of these for me and I don't have a good answer, althou am leaning towards McAfee. Dave L, if your out there...let me know, also they will be going to Verizon DSL in a few weeks. Thanks !

    - Using Firewalls and Antivirus at the same time I am trying to fix my problem of getting my computer hijacked with Spam, virus and other programs and needed some help. As most of you know, I do not like the UI from AVG, but the thing does seem to work. This is how I have it set up now for what I think will stop any problems, let me now what I left out. Firewall: Zone Alarm Pro, McAfee Personal Firewall Plus, Norton NIS, Anti-Ad's: Spybot, Lavasoft Ad-Adware, McAfee Privacy Sevice, Virus, AVG 6, Sophos, Norman Antvirus, McAfee Virusscan Pro, Norton Antivirus, IPE antivirus. Everything runs ok together, its a little slower on startup. What else do I need ? A hardware firewall ? I have looked for hardware firewalls and cannot find them. I use dial up.

    - "Pack71.exe" Anyone know anything about "Pack71"? I got an email which appeared to an official Microsoft mailing in html format with Microsoft header and everything, from a sender called "Public Assistance". The text of the message read: "this is the latest version of security update, the "February 2004, Cumulative Patch" update which fixes all known security vulnerabilities affecting MS Internet Explorer, MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express as well as three newly discovered vulnerabilities. Install now to continue keeping your computer secure from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could allow an attacker to run code on your computer. This update includes the functionality of all previously released patches." The message had an attachment called "Pack71.exe" (106 KB). I am suspicious of ANY email that contains an .exe attachment. If it was an offical Microsoft email, why wouldn't the sender simply point the recipient to a web link to download the latest patch, rather than including it as an attachment? I did a search on the web and on Microsoft for "Pack71.exe" and turned up nothing. I went to Microsoft's Security web site, ran a security check for Windows, and it turned up 1 critical update that it needed (there was no mention of Pack71.exe). After installing the update, I ran the test again, the install appeared successful and it told me that "there were no critical updates to install." Anybody know of Pack71.exe or where on the web that I can get information about it? Sorry about the lengthy post. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, JA Tag: Opening attachments Tag: 46041

    - OWA Nonsecure Content Bug Bites To whom it may concern I got a pop-up warning me of "nonsecure" content when opening an OWA e-mail that presumably contained scripting. I chose NOT to render that content. I was very surprised to find, however, that it *was* interpreted when I went to *forward* the message. That seems a little batty to me. Why wasn't it just a bunch of uninterpreted scripting (ugly but benign)? This implies that users can be cautious about NEVER opening mail containing scripting but once they try to forward something the OWA will ignore that caution. This is what some would call a BUG, and it could bite Thank you Frit Tag: Opening attachments Tag: 46021
