    - Unable to access https:// (SSL) sites with either IE or Netscape Boy, is this one a doozy. Hopefully I found the right board for this. We're running on Windows Millenium Edition and using a 256KB cable modem for internet access. I've downloaded both Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Netscape 7.1, which were updates to this computer. We've checked the encryption on IE6, which shows cipher strength of 128 bits. Yet neither IE nor Netscape has been able to access any site with an https:// (SSL) tag (including but not limited to: .NET Passport, Union Planters online, SprintPCS, Clout.com, etc.) for the last week or two on this computer. I've checked with HP's support site (the computer is an HP system), and they sent a detailed suggestion that I followed in full, and it ended up not solving the problem. I've called Madison Telecommunications (our ISP), and they sent me the IE High Encryption Pack 4.0, but it was not valid for Windows ME, so THAT didn't work. Posting on this board seems like our last option. If there is anyone out there who may know why we're unable to access these (and other) SSL sites and how to correct the problem or knows someone who DOES (we know for sure that it's not msblast.exe, it's nowhere to be found on our system), your help is needed, wanted, and fully appreciated by myself and the rest of the family here. This has been driving us up the wall as of late. Thanks! Tyler Tag: NEW SECURITY DOWNLOAD Tag: 28142

I found a value name win32info with the value data "c:\winnt\system32\win32info.exe /noconnect".

Try search for the file name on Microsoft Website and www.cert.org but found no information there. I do have antivirus software (grisoft) and adaware software install on my machine as recommend by and MVP on this newsgroups, it does not report anything wrong with this file. I am not sure if this .exe file got installed by one of the many software of my machine. Any one have an idea what this .exe file migth be. Regards, Tag: NEW SECURITY DOWNLOAD Tag: 28102

    - blaster worm patch executed but was it successful? I somehow managed to download the patch and execute it on my Windows XP 32 bit system. Took about 7 minutes to download and a few more to execute and then the time to restart my PC. Then, I also did the FixBlast.exe at www.securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FixBlast.exe ; it did indeed find the virus and delete a file. I went back to the MS website to get the instructions for verifying the patch was in (many years of working on computers and I don't trust them, can you blame me) I verified the ole32.dll, rpcrt4.dll and rpcss.dll files for date/time, version number and size. Version numbers all matched. Dates matched but times appear to be off by 1 hour per the MS Knowledge Base: KB823980. My system now shows 12:14 pm but KB823980 says they should be 19:14 GMT. Central Time (on daylight savings time) is GMT-6 hours per the time zone converter it says to use. Also the sizes were not the same. All of the files on my system after the patch was executed are slightly smaller in size. Do I have a problem? Does anyone know. Tag: NEW SECURITY DOWNLOAD Tag: 28090

    - Win2k SP3 + MS03-026 = No desktop upon reboot In patching for the W32.Blaster.worn I have downloaded the following update: http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/f/01fdd40f-efc5- 433d-8ad2-b4b9d42049d5/Windows2000-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe and installed it on a Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 3 IE 6.0 computer. When the computer reboots, I get a blank screen after login. Doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del allows me to run task manager. I look and notice explorer.exe is not running. Doing new task, I cant start it. Looking at the Event log, I get Com+ Event System service hung on starting error (Event 7022). Rolling back the patch and a reboot brings everything back up again. I have scanned for the virus and its not on the computer. I have verified my file permissions on %systemroot% and % systemroot%\system32 ... I have reinstalled IE, I have done everything I can think of, but I cant seem to get the computer to reboot without this happening (have disabled NAV too trying to install it) .

Example: computer A can access \\computernameB\c$ My question is how is this so? (I must have modified the local security policys or domain security policys). And how can i change it so this is not accessible. I do not Joe Smoe to log in locally as a admin to his system and look at the CEO's hard drive and begin to have fun. All feedback is welcomed.

    - MS is full of dumb ass incompetent engineers (Blaster Worm) Here is an idea - how about putting out instructions that actually will allow an end user to fix the serious blaster worm? Oh yeah - I forgot - MS doesn't give a hoot about end users. Hey MS - duh - the worm shuts down the PC by the time an end user is 1/10 of the way through applying the patch. Hmmm, that pretty much makes it impossible to fix the problem doesn't it? What, was it sunny for once in Seattle this week and everyone was out playing with their dogs. Or - is it that you were hoping to milk the consumer even more by charging to get customer service for your buggy unstable operating systems? Sincerely, Fed Up Tag: NEW SECURITY DOWNLOAD Tag: 28015
