    - ComDlg32 and MUICache with Registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32 -- mainly under the subkey " OpenSaveMRU " HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam -- mainly under the subkey " MUICache " I understand a lot more about ComDlg32 now, and the MRU lists, but it seems impossible to keep anymore from being added later to the registry after you delete the ones currently used. If i delete all today, next week when i check, all the new ones will be in there. Does anyone know of a program to block MRU's from being copied/saved in the registry and or harddrive MUICache has as much if not more than the ComDlg32 Key holds. Also, previous programs i've used to erase and block MRU's and recent folders/files won't affect the stuff in this ShellNoRoam folder. If i deleted this key do you think it would affect my system in a way i'm not wanting to or know of a good program to use I don't want to be traced, at all!! If you find any of this out, you're way too damn smart Tag: Security 823559 Tag: 44931

    - Why aren't these IE and XP Security Holes Addressed by Microsoft? My question is why is Microsoft silent on all its sites on these two serious IE holes particularly after one of them is almost two months old? Maybe someone from Microsoft who works with Mr. Charney or Mr. Nash will comment on them Mr. Charney seems unable to direct his former zeal for pursuit of alleged cybercrime behind when it comes to transparency and showcasing these MS security holes, communicating them to the public in a timely manner, and either coming up with fixes in a reasonable time or pre-empting the need for an onslaught of hotfixes in the operating system and the browser. I don't see any mention of them on the MS Security, Technet, MSDN, or Presspass sites. There is a potentially devestating security hole in Internet Explorer 6 and possibly earlier versions. IE. This follows the discovery of a vulnerability in Windows XP earlier this week. You could be fooled into downloading files that look safe but could be anything, particularly executables. A demo (POC Proof of Concept Exploit) of both the hole in Windows and the hole in IE is avialable on Security Company Secunia's sites. The Windows security flaw allows construction of a malicious folder that has both script code and a malicious file. If you are tricked into opening that folder, Windows Explorer will execute the code. The latest vulnerability in Internet Explorer can display a fake URL in the address and status bars which is different from the real page location. The idea is to engineer users into revealing sensitive information or executing malware as a download. The third vulnerabilty allows IE to be tricked into opening a file with a different application than the file extension indicates by embedding a CSLID in the file name: http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10708/ Windows XP Exploit Not Yet Addressed New Explorer hole could be devastating http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/01/28/HNiehole_1.html IE File Download Extension Spoofing Unfixed http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10736/ IE URL Spoofing Vulnerability Since December, 2003 Unfixed http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10395/ It would be easy to get people to download the Doom Worm or even worse, to combine this latest hole with the Explorer spoofing problem discovered in December but not fixed by Microsoft. Many articles on the web are speculating that the reason Microsoft has not fixed it is because it can't. Microsoft has been beefing up security according to a large number of releases from MS Presspass. They hired Scott Charney, an attorney who was Chief of Computer Crime at the U.S. Department of Justice and a key member of the US DOJ's Computer Search and Seizure Work Group in April sending Howard Schmidt to the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board. Mike Nash is Vice President for the Security Business Unit at Microsoft. Neither gentleman has had a comment on any of the three exploits, and Microsoft has posted nothing to date on any of its sites. However, on November 19, 2003 Mr. Charney testified to Congress that "Security is the #1 Microsoft Priority." Microsoft Executive Bio of Scott Charney http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/innovation/twc/issues/scott_charney_bio.asp COMMENTARY: LEADER OR LOBBYIST Scott Charney http://discuss.extremetech.com/n/main.asp?webtag=extremetech&nav=messages&msg=8914.3 Testimony of Scott Charney Before House Sub Chief Trustworthy Computing Strategist Microsoft Corporation: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/charney/11-19testimony.asp It is difficult to understand why Microsoft has been silent on one of these IE spoofs for nearly two months. Is it possible that there is no fix? Further the sheer amount of hotfixes lends to instability and bugs and sometimes considerable side effects in Windows and the browser.

    - Norton Antivirua 04 My problem began when I purchased Norton 04 standard. I use MS Internet Explorer as my web browser (changing my browser is not a wanted option). I need information from anyone about how I can use Norton alongside MSIE, and my e-mail (outlook) without crashing them both. Every time I install the anti-virus program it crashes my e-mail and denys outside access to web-sites (one contains an expired security certificate), i was told it is by default that Norton scans all incoming e-mails, so i turned it off, with no luck. I contacted Symatec and also the company I purchased it from but neither gave me information I can use P.S when is Microsoft going to produce there own Anti- virus programs Tag: Security 823559 Tag: 44922

    - Spyware/Adware/Pop-ups HELP! I was recently infected with Spyware and Adware without my knowledge, and it has damaged my Internet Explorer. I did download Spynuker and Popup Nuker, but they don't seem to help with my problem. I cannot search on the internet, or even type in URLs. It keeps telling me that an internet connection is not established, even though I know I have connected. Then it gives me the option to try again, and lets me go to my search site. After typing in the address, it prompts me that that URL is restricted, and I am not able to open it. Also, my computer is much slower, and keeps freezing. I am at a total loss as to how to fix this problem. It is driving me crazy. Can anyone help? Any suggestions are appreciated!! Thanks! Tag: Security 823559 Tag: 44891

    - MSN Complete Lack of Issue Support Two years ago I was asked by MSN to take over their official Pets & Animals Group. I did so. On last Saturday an individual hacked my user/passes for both that site and my site promoting my book, and hijacked both. He has removed the managers, banned the long term members,deleted members pet albums, and is representing proprietary and copyrighted material as his own. I have furnished MSN with complete proof of ownership and the circumstances and time lines now four different times. I am Admin on two Invision boards and only too aware of how easy it is to go into admin and correct a situation of this kind. The situation is obvious and the act illegal and MSN has done exactly zero to correct it, as this individual continues to alter and destroy years of work. I am now getting no answers from them at all. Shame on MSN. It could happen to you too.

    - Thank you From August last year, was the time i started having problems. They multiplied and multiplied. The popups were getting out of hand so i installed Nopops. I had screen freezes you wouldnt beleive, to the point of Bottom bar disappearing; Desktop desappearing; Firewall would not enable; could not download files or graphics; opening msn mail was a no-no as i would get at lease 10 IE adds; Ctrl/Alt/Del would not work; And the list goes on and on. Then less than a week ago, I came across Microsoft Newsgroup... (what a blessing that was) I was advised about the different AntiSpyware products. Spybot found 380 spyware....... WOW Ad-aware found another 160 !!! I was then advised as I had so many problems with spyware, to go to SpywareInfo. In the last 3 days, they have helped so much. They have been patient with all my problems, and with the help of both Microsoft Newsgroup and SpywareInfo, I'm finally on top of things. I dont know how to express my appreciation to you all. You are wonderful people. ((((((((((( THANK YOU )))))))))))) Tag: Security 823559 Tag: 44834

    - Protect a document with SmartCard ? Does anybody knows a way to protect a MS document (Word or Excell or whatever) with a Smart Card ? As I understood, the MS Office uses CryptoAPI in order to en/decrypt the document when protecting it by password. Therefore I assume that forcing it to use a Smart Card CSP might do the job. But I don`t know how to do it. Is there some default CSP that Word uses ? So that I could only change a registry entry ? Tag: Security 823559 Tag: 44833

    - How do I config URLSCAN to deny HTTP TRACE Did a security audit on my Outlook Web Access server today and one of the high risk vulnerabilities found claimed I should use URLSCAN to deny HTTP TRACE requests. How do I do this? I've downloaded urltrace but I can't make head nor tail of it - seems to be an .ini file needs editing, but what do i put in?? Thanks in advance, Paul.

    - tilde shortcut I have a shortcut that popped up on my desktop. It is microsoft flying windows with a tilde character below it. When I click on properties, I get: type: file 183KB, MS DOS name (tilde), attributes: archive and nothing else. I opened it without apparent harm, and got a large file of code. I deleted it the shortcut, but it came back a couple of days later. I was working with a Word document. Is it associated with M/S Word? I also ran a virus scan on it which was negative.

    - security patches When I receive a notice from Microsoft that there are updates to install, some of them say, "Once you install this item, it cannot be removed." i.e. #819696. This bothers me. Can anyone reassure me about installing something that CANNOT be installed. Thanks. Janice Tag: Security 823559 Tag: 44754

    - Blue screen I downloaded and installed Norton Internet Security 2004 and ran live update. Upon completion, a box opens that says to reboot to finish the update. Upon reboot, I got an error message that reads: The instruction at "0x0040a2bc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click ok to terminate the program. At the time when that error message popped up, my computer also froze. I could not move the mouse or curser to click ok and close anything. Can someone tell me where I can find out what that means and what I need to do to fix it. Thanks Dave -- Dave Tag: Security 823559 Tag: 44747

    - What is "your-wg5n33dutv" I have recently installed a internet security package and it identified a "Invalid Source IP Address" coming from 255.255.255.255 (protocol icmp)and being sent to your- wg5n33dutv (followed by my currently assigned ip address). So I am being pinged. I checked with my ISP and they are not sending it. I ran Ad-Aware and removed all non-windows related spy ware. I have done a google search on this and found several articles refering to your-wg5n33dutv as a location that seems to store results of some form of data gathering. Is this some part of Windows XP or some of their spy software? I am confused how the source IP can be 255.255.255.255? Does anyone have any idea of what this is??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeff Tag: Security 823559 Tag: 44738
