    - COM Services Error System: WinXP Does anyone have any ideas on this situation? Problem: I am trying to edit default COM sercurity, I have the appropriate users in the Access Permissions, but when I try to edit the Launch Permission Users by going to Run-->dcomcnfg-->component services-->computers-->right click my computer (properties)-->default COM security tab-->edit default under Launch Permissions. When the window pops up I do not get the ability to add users to this sections, the only thing that shows up on the window is "Unable to display security information". Any assistance would be great, I have done research on google groups and support.microsoft.com to no avail. Thanks Jim Tag: Password problem Tag: 57247

    - Using software restriction policies to prevent virus and malware - Microsoft Response needed Will using software restriction policies help to prevent virus and malware from getting on Windows XP professional machines? Let say I know the name of the executable to the virus or malware, can I use a path rule to disallowed this executable from being run on the local machine. Will this prevent virus and malware that are started by the registry? The documentation is very vague in describing how exactly this works. -- Eric Sabo NT Administrator Tag: Password problem Tag: 57242

    - bridge.dll HELP! I was was cleaning up a pc for a friend and got everthing in order, except when Adaware removed some things, it did not totally get rid of bridge.dll. I also ran a scan with Spybot, it removed a bunch of stuff too, but not the bridge.dll. The pc is a Sony Viao running XP.When you log on as one of the users, you get a rundll error message stating that it can't find bridge.dll. I did find one web site through a Google search advertising a bridge.dll removal tool. When you access the web site you download the the product and you could do a free scan, but then you would have to pay to use the cleaning tool. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I logged in as Administrator and applied all critical updates at windowsupdate.com but then I logged out and logged back in under another user name (who doesn't have Administrator rights/not in Administrator group). Stupid question: do these updates apply to Windows 2000/IE/Outlook/etc. as a whole? In other words, it doesn't matter under what user name I log into, my whole operating system should be okay and I don't have to go to windowsupdate.com again as another user, right?

    - Punk Buster Anti-Cheat Software for online gaming Hello, I do not want to go into to much detail about what Punk Buster is but it is something that a few very popular games are starting to use. It is supposed to prevent people from cheating in online games. A lot of online game servers require Punk Buster in order to play the game. My problem: In order for Punk Buster to work you must be logged in as an administrator or grant some extra privileges to the user account. I really do not want to log in as an administrator so I am left with the second option of modifying privileges. Punk Buster has provided a solution to the problem and I have listed it below. My concern is that the solution might compromise the security of my machine. My Question: In there anyone out there who understands what Punk Buster is suggesting below and can you tell me if it is alright to change the privileges suggested? Best Regards and Thanks, Shawn Punk Buster Solution from FAQ: Is there some way to modify my system configuration to be an administrator equivalent from Punk Buster's perspective in Win2k/XP Pro? Yes (under Win XP Pro or Win 2K). This can be accomplished by setting certain privileges for the user that will run the game. To do this, first temporarily log in as an Administrator. Then go to Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Local Security Policy. This will open up the Local Security setting window. Expand the Local Policies folder and select User Rights Assignment. This will bring up a list of security settings for the computer. You will need to add the user that will be launching the game to have the following privileges. If the user is logged in while making changes, the user must be logged out and back in for the changes to take effect. Debug Programs Load and unload device drivers Manage auditing and security log Modify Firmware environment values Profile Single Process This is done by double clicking on the setting and then the "Add User or Group" button. You can either type the user or group name into the field or click on advanced to select from a list. If you select advanced, you may need to click on the "Object Types" button and make sure all 3 boxes are checked. Then click "OK". Click on the "Find Now" button to generate a full list of all users and groups on the system. Highlight the user you want to add the rights to and click "OK". Keep clicking "OK" until you are back at the Local Security Settings window. Repeat this process for the rest of the list. That user will now be able to play on PB servers without getting kicked for "Inadequate O/S Privileges". Tag: Password problem Tag: 57112

    - Reformat or wipe? Thanks for the advice and info below - rather than stretch the thread, I would be even more grateful for some answers to these questions: 1 Is it PREFERABLE to wipe the HDD or go through malware removal proceses? I don't care about losing data, I just want to know whether reformating is relatively quick and easy and not likely to have any adverse effects on my system (assuming it's a fairly standard system to save time). Malware removal appears to be laborious and often not 100% effective. A reformat would be "the ultimate weapon", right? 2 What's the best malware protetion for broadband users (pipex is my isp)? I used Zonealarm before, and liked it. Is this sufficient to keep spyware, tojans, etc at bay? Opinions appreciated. Thanks again. Tag: Password problem Tag: 57087
