Multiple assault
Have just inherited a newish PC with XP Home, and also
just set up an ADSL connection. Previous user had major
probs with spyware, etc., and I foolishly believed him
when he said he had fixed the problems. So I now find
such uninvited guests as mssys, istbar, pleasure zone
running rampant across my system. I can see that there is
a lot of work involved in identifying and eliminating all
these nasties (I have Ad-aware, which seems pretty
ineffective), so I would be grateful for any opinions on
the quickest fix. I'm specifically thinking about
reformatting my hard drive as the easiest and most
complete way of sorting this out - would this do the
trick? Are there any handy guides for how to do this? I
don't have much data to lose, the PC being newly
acquired. Also, last time I had Broadband, found that
Zonealarm was the only security application I needed - any
opinions on whether this would be sufficient on its own to
keep future incursions at bay? Thanks in advance. Tag: VB Security Poblems Tag: 57048
"Connection Refused" Msg. Who Sent It??
I have a near new Dell 8300 running Win XP Pro and Norton
Internet Security 2004. I have Windows ICF turned off.
Today I get a message with "Alert" in the title bar, and
the message is "The connection was refused when attempting
to contact forum.us.dell.com". Who sent this message, and
what do I do about it. I had no trouble making the

Secedit /export behavior on Windows XP
I have a vbscript I have used on Windows 2000 for a while. It uses regular expressions to parse text file output from "secedit /export /cfg c:\temp\policy.txt". When I run the command command string on a Windows XP Prof. system all that is in it is (nothing to parse/search through):

email titled internet security update
I just recieved an email called internet security
update , claiming to be from Microsoft support. It has
Microsoft headers and footers.
it came from lmalhrn@yuvrp.net , and has an attachment
which windows typed as a text document called Norton
Antivusdeleted1.txt.
My concern is that Norton Antivirus flagged it as
containing a virus , has anyone else recieved it ? What
is it , and I am going to delete it , unless somebody
wants it. Tag: VB Security Poblems Tag: 57022
defrag.exe & dfrgntfs.exe ??
All of a sudden, If I have not touched the PC for around 15 minutes, I
noticed my hard drive starts whirring like mad ... Obviously a bit concerned
over that as I've not installed anything new for a while, I opened up Task
Manager to see what was there. The next time it occured, I noticed that two
new processes had sprung to life, namely;
"defrag.exe" and "dfrgntfs.exe"
Now, I presume these have something to do with disk management or
defragmentation, but as I use Diskkeeper Pro 8 for this, I've not set either
of these to run (nothing is in the Task Scheduler to start these off).
Any idea what these are and why they keep wanting to run every time the PC
sits idle? Were these both enabled following a recent Windows Update? and
can I turn them off as it's rather annoying !!
Many thanks !

internet connection sharing scare! plz help!
This prg repeatedly requests permission through zone alarm
to access the internet when I turn on my pc. Im not on a

5 minutes to ask again.
Last night I inadvertantly clicked 'yes'......didn't
realise til I went to shut down my pc and got a message
telling me that by doing so I would disconnect 2 other
users!
Does this mean that someone else was using my net access?

Unwanted Web page - replaced 404 error
Hi,
I think that somehow I have got a program on my computer.
The best way that I can describe it is when a web page is
not found I use to get the 404 error, or this page cannot
be found. But now I get redirected to a search engine
http://www.perfectnav.com/index.cfm etc etc. How can I
get rid of this? I think that what it is doing is using
the web page that I looked for, or rather could not find
and replaced the "page not found" page with a link. What
is this file called? Can anyone help??

stopsign
I just got done watching the cheesiest commericial on
MSNBC from www.stopsign.com/free which tries to use the
scare tactics one sees from the not so reputable spyware
programs out there (can anyone say SpywareNuker or
NoAdware?).
The commercial says you can get a free virus scan at their
website. On the top and bottom, there are scrolling
messages telling you things to scare you, such as you
already having a worm, etc. It advertises pop-up blockers,
anti-spyware, etc.
Anyone here try them yet? I can't believe this is hitting
the television circuit now! It just seems like they are
trying to scare you into trying them out, much like the
rogue spyware programs out there who rip off Ad-aware or

XP Updates = NOT PASSED WIN LOGO TESTING ???
For the past several weeks I am not able to UPDATE via the Auto Updater OR from the Windows Update web site. Patches appear to download properly but the updates will NOT install. The pop up error message says verbatim:
"The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo Testing
to verify its compatibility wint Windows XP.
This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator."
Excuse me???
- These are official Microsoft critical security patches, right?
- They have not passed Windows Logo Testing for Windows XP ???!!
I have just reformated my HD, I reinstalled XP PRO and used the UPDATES disk sent from Microsoft dated Februrary 2004 (thank you, Bill Gates) and am now attempting to bring the system in line with critical patches available. I go through this every single day since 06/26/2004. Can anyone help me here??? ooh yes, I AM the system administrator on this computer!!! Noone else touches this machine!!
After the last attempt today, the message on the updates site was again:
"No Updates Were Installed
The following items failed to install. To try installing them again,
click Review and install updates, and then click Install Now again.
Critical Update for ADODB.stream (KB870669)
Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP (KB826939)"
I run XP Pro, with ZA 5 installed. YES I gave the Windows Update AutoUpdate Client permission as Access "Trusted + Internet" + Server "Trusted + Internet" permission. I also check Norton's DATs daily and update every time a new DAT file is available. I run a complete system check with Norton's every day - NOTHING has been found.
I really would like to know what da heck is going on with the Patches not being Windows Logo Tested. It would be great if a WINDOWS person would respond. I do want to be responsible and update - kinda hard to stay that way anyway ;-(( Tag: VB Security Poblems Tag: 56980

Help plz
Hi. It seems as though my computer is 99.9% screwed up.
So screwed up, i feel like going to the store and just
buying a new one. Heres why:
-I keep getting hacked. It says someone logged onto my
computer as "HelpAssistant" and messed with the settings.
Now i can't do things an administrator can. Even when i
set my account to administrator, it just acts as though
it isn't. : / I have 2 VERY good firewalls and they
didn't pick up a thing.
- I get so many viruses. It's as if every day im targeted
for 10 viruses.
- The hacker is playing pranks on me (example: Changing
my cursor just to freak me out). No matter how hard i
try, i cant get rid of him! Please can someone tell me
how to (legaly) track him?
- I get a lot of (used to.. now i don't get them as much)
DDOS attacks/DOS attacks
- I have soooo much stuff on my computer that i think is
bad (im 60% sure it is) but im scared to delete because
it might be a system file.
- The hacker won't stop playing tricks with me. Hes not
seruis about wrecking my computer, just wants to freak me
out and maybe cause a little damage. Could be wrong
though : / I did have some REALLY bad virues that he gave
me.
- Im open to viruses/hackers. It seems as though my
network file sharing services are on (the one that came
with windows) and i think i get viruses from that. I turn
them off and they just turn on again!
Thanks!
P.S. whats these file (says it isn't a sys file):
WinLogon.exe <-- (Is that a hacking program that hes
installed on my computer?)

thinking it was the windows password (I actually changed
it) now when I reboot before it goes into windows it
tells me to eneter a password, I enter the password I put

Alleged Hacker Now Works for Microsoft
Alleged Hacker Now Works for Microsoft
Jul 9, 6:05 PM (ET)
By ALLISON LINN
SEATTLE (AP) - A man accused of hacking into search engine
company AltaVista's computer systems about two years ago
is now employed by Microsoft Corp., reportedly working on
search technology.
Laurent Chavet, 29, was arrested by FBI agents a week ago
in Redmond, Wash., acting on a warrant issued in San
Francisco.
Federal prosecutors allege that Chavet hacked into
AltaVista's computer system to obtain software blueprints
called source code and recklessly caused damage to
AltaVista's computers.
Microsoft spokeswoman Tami Begasse said Friday that
Chavet, who lives in suburban Kirkland, is an employee of
Microsoft. She declined further comment on the nature of
Chavet's employment or when he started at the company,
citing Microsoft policy on not discussing personnel
matters.
Generally speaking, Begasse said: "We're confident in our
policies and procedures we have in place to protect our
code and to ensure that employees do not bring third party
code into the work place."
A woman who answered the phone at Chavet's house Friday
said he would have no comment.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, citing anonymous sources,
reported that Chavet had been working on Microsoft's MSN
Search effort.
In a research paper on search technology published in IBM
Systems Journal, Chavet is listed as a search expert who
works at Microsoft and was previously with AltaVista.
In 2003, AltaVista, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., was
acquired by search company Overture Services, Inc., which
in turn was acquired by Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) later that year.
Microsoft's MSN Web site currently uses both Overture's
and Yahoo's search technology.
But the Redmond company has begun an aggressive effort to
develop its own search technology as it tries to compete
with search engine leaders Google Inc. and Yahoo.
Microsoft, which has acknowledged it lags in search, hopes
to play catch-up with a broad-based search tool that
allows users to also scour through e-mails, documents and
even big databases.
Court documents say Chavet worked at AltaVista from
approximately June 1999 to February 2002. Beginning in
late March 2002, the U.S. attorney's office alleges in
court documents, Chavet began accessing AltaVista's
computers without permission, causing about $5,000 in
damage over a one-year period.
A spokeswoman for Overture declined to comment on Chavet's
case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Sonderby, who is in
charge of the California unit that is prosecuting the
case, told The Associated Press that the allegations
against Chavet "do not pertain to Microsoft."
Chavet was released on a $10,000 bond and is expected to
make a court appearance July 20 in San Francisco. Both
charges carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison
and a $250,000 fine. Tag: VB Security Poblems Tag: 56932
Data Encryption
I had two folders encrypted under Windows XP Professional. Due to a major infection that went undetected by Norton I was forced to reformat my hard drive.
Not thinking, and due to the fact that I had long forgotten that the files were encrypted I moved the files to a second hard drive before I reformated the hard drive.
I know that unless I had a key or a recovery agent I have completely lost this data. Is there really nothing else I can do???
Is there any way to retrieve the original encryption key? Tag: VB Security Poblems Tag: 56920
Safe or not Safe? mprocessor.exe & K7Iku.exe

Since I suspect just about everything these days, does anyone know if the following programs are "safe" to pass the firewall and access the internet? Mprocessor.exe (I think this may have to do with the windows media player) and "k7IKu.exe" (or something close to it... not sure on exact spelling).

Need Spyware blocker that BANS executables! (WinXP)
Subject says it all. Right now, I'm using WinPatrol. It does a good
job of catching all the little programs that try to install themselves,
but what it doesn't seem to have is the ability to automatically
disable and delete certain common, recurring culprits, like TwainTech
and Tvm.exe. Sometimes these programs seem to find a way of installing
themselves once every few minutes, and it gets really quite annoying to
have to address WinPatrol's prompts every time it happens.
So, what software should I in fact be using? Thanks! Tag: VB Security Poblems Tag: 56903

strange firewall log
I found a strange log in my firewall logs. My firewall blocked a outgoing

I didn't use any outgoing program to access the internet. Anyone tell me
why? Thanks. Tag: VB Security Poblems Tag: 56883
Time to patch your browser
If you use the mozilla line of products, like I do, you should probably read
this:
