    - cant disable the firewall to do virus scan A short time ago I read in these N.groups about a link here at Microsoft on how to enable the firewall that comes with the computor. I have "Win. XP". I click to that site and it gave me the option to manually set up the firewall or have it done for me- (I had already gone to the 'properties' part in my isp box and clicked on "advance tab" and checked the first box that said "Protect my computor .......")before I went to this web site- ANYHOW, I chose for 'them' do enable this security for me- So when I went to check this same box in the prop section>adv tab> then I noticed that the words UNDER the part where it says "protect my comp." had disapeared. So then I went to get a free virus scan at panda and realized it would not down load- I went back into the box and un-checked the "protect my comp" and it downloaded the activeX needed to do these scans-HOWEVER, it does NOT do anything when I click on SCAN my comp, or anything for that matter-I tried getting support via email from them but they have not responded-If I made my question clear, please advice me where to go.If not, I'll check back and see if I can give you more info. thanks Tag: Preview pane security in outlook express Tag: 37813

    - What to do (if anything) about SubSeven I used to report these to the FBI when they came from outside the USA but I've gotten lazy. I noticed yesterday our firewall dropped 17 SubSeven Attacks. One host tried 4 times but the others came from all over the place. Are these bots attempting these or actual idiots w/ nothing better to do? Should I just ignore them? Maybe there 's a public website where we can post the hostnames of the computers that launch these, or someone who keeps a database of such things.

    - Microsoft email attachments? Over the past week, I've been getting thousands of emails claiming to be from microsoft telling me that there is a patch attached to this email. I know this isn't true and someone has a virus but how do I track them down? The email headers are coming from dozens of places. Should I just shut down my email account and start over or is there a way to fix this. These are like 116kb attachments and my pc is geting quite bogged down. I have 4678 of them right now. I called Verio, who hosts my email server and they said they can show me the email server that the mail came from but that's it. How do I stop this madness?

    - outlook express address file I find a file called "~" on my desktop every three or four times I shut down Outlook Express. When I open the file using Word, it appears to be coded but seems to have my address book in it, although the characters are separated by other symbols. So you know anything about this file? Is it normal? Is it something I should stop deleting whenever I find it? Is someone worming his way into my files? Any insight would be appreciated.

I get from 3-9 alerts of infected email. Attachment name is different each time but all have W32.Swen.A@______.

    - Real weird situation. Hello, I have been asked to setup the security for our application suite and one setup in our lab causes me a great deal of headache! In this setup there are 3 machines, machine A is the pdc, machine B and machine C are normal worstation in the domain. All machines are running windows 2000. As far as I can tell everything is configured OK on the machines, not warning in the event viewers.... BUT On the PDC (machine A) the domain administrator password is 'toto', on machine B the local administrator also has its password set to 'toto'. So I logon machine B as local administrator and then I run 'net group AGroup /ADD /DOMAIN' and to my surprise that works. A new group is created in the domain. If I go on the PDC, and the group has really been created. I don't get it at all. But if the administrator's password on machine B is different that the domain administrator's password, the group is not created. Can anyone help me to understand this one? Thank you!

    - Help: Unable to install WinXp Security Critical Service Pack Hi There: I tried to update my WinXP Home Edition with the Service Pack 1 (Express) critical Update but unable to install it. The update was successfully downloaded and extracted but when it goes to the installation part, it recommended me to close all anti-virus program which I did and did the Back up system or close all open program which I also did. But still this important Critical Update is not able to install and pop-up a window saying: Service Pack 1 Set up Error - Set Up canceled. In the Web Page Dialog - it is shown that it is not done. I review the download history and "Retry" many times but not able to do it. Any help to give me an idea to let me install this important Critical Update. I have just spent 2 months to remove the viruses I have even though I have the latest McAfee Virus Scan and do the DOS SCAN, turn off the System Restore, Disk Clean etc. It is like hell, believed it. I need to go back and forth to McAfee to online chat with them for 12 times with different technicians and also includes 2 supervisors. Hope helping hands are there this time. Tks. H. .

    - XP came with comp/need cd 4 repair About a month ago, I downloaded this game called BINARY from natomic.com, it was a simple little Nintendo style game, but it somehow changed some important files. Whenever I restart my computer, and i log in, a message displays saying that some files have been changed, and it asks me to insert the Windows XP CD so the computer can restore the original files. XP came with my comp, so I don't have the CD. The file changes weren't big enough to do much damage, because I haven't noticed anything wrong. But, I just bought a game, and the game required that I install Direct X 9.0b. It tried but then a message came up saying that Direct X didn't pass the security test for XP. I thought this strange, but was sure it was the fault of the changed files. I then downloaded Direct X 9.0b directly from Microsoft.com. It tried to install but the same prompt came up telling me that the download files didn't pass the security test. I'm sure that if I repaired the files, that I would be able to install direct x 9.0b, but I don't have a CD. Does anyone know a way to restore the files without an XP CD?

    - Webpage dialed my modem to ? A German *webpage* dialed out over my modem, when I clicked that I was 18 years old (18 Jarhen). It also put a new Icon on my desktop. I'm worried I'm going to have a $100 charge on my phone bill for 20 seconds of a call to God-Knows-Where. I knew email trojans could do this, but the webpage attack was a surprise. I am on DSL. The modem was just there for a backup, if/when the DSL line is down. Is there an option that would give me a prompt before a webpage does this again, or block modem calls that do not come from me? I already had the: Network and Dialup Connections > Advanced > Dialup Preferences set to "always ask me before autodialing" -but it did it anyway. I found a new New Connection Icon. The number it called was: 0112463531444 WIN2000 IE6.0 ZoneAlarm Norton Anti-Virus Tag: Preview pane security in outlook express Tag: 37632

    - Security update I keep getting this security update #823559 once or twice a week. Is this the same update that I keep downloading over and over or not? If so,why do they keep sending it to me? Tag: Preview pane security in outlook express Tag: 37623

    - PGP Signed MS security bulletins...fail I received two MS security bulletins on 10/15 both with the subject: Microsoft Exchange Server Security Bulletin Summary for October 2003 One talked about an exchange patch, the other talked about MS03-41 through MS03-45. The information they provided looked legitimate, but **Both** failed PGP verification with Microsoft's key. Ire-downloaded the key with same results. Thumbprint matched so that was expected. I went to technet and found the Oct. article through technet (as if I'd never seen the email) and went and got the patches OK, but did so with due skepticism along the way. Did anyone else have this happen? -- Jim (for e-mail replace invalid with com) "Remember, an amateur built the Ark; professionals built the Titanic."

If you have the preview pane enabled on outlook express
and can see the message will a virus have a better chance
of engaging your computer?

If you allow HTML, enable the preview pane, and read mail from unknown
sources, absolutely you have a good chance of becoming another victim.

Be Safe! If you're going to allow HTML email, check your browser
