    - 086eb794e.html -Desktop Background Can anoyone help. I have found this file on my computer under all users. It is linked to a 'Free Track Remover' program and is locaeted in C:\Documentsand settings then under the user's local settings in a folder called Temp. The file is causing a red background on desktop with the advert for this free track remover-trying to get you to buy it. This background comes up no matter what I do. I have tried deleting this file which is removed until you next log on. The file is then back in the same place. I have also tried delting the folder but an error message appears explaining that some of the folders are used by other programs and can not be deleted. I originally found the file under Control Panel\Display\Desktop\CustomiseDesktop then on the web tab. The file is there under the web pages. I can delte it from there but the same thing occurs where it returns. I have tried using Norton to remove it but it still returns. Please can someone help me with this-email me on Saxonh@Hotmail.com and enter 086eb794e in the subject box. All help appreciated Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74266

    - BMP Processor overflow I'm getting the following alert from my firewall's IPS: WEB-CLIENT Internet Explorer BMP Processing Overflow. I spoke to the user and told them to stop going to what ever site they are, but I keep getting the alert. should I be worried about this person's workstation? My IPS is blocking the threat, but the 100 alerts I'm getting a day are starting to bother me. Thanks. Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74265

    - Kerberos User Ticket Lifetime Hi, In Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003, is it possible to set Maximum User Ticket Lifetime at a userid level, or only at the domain level with the Maximum User Ticket Lifetime parm? I would like to have a domain setting that would cover most of the users, and set a shorter ticket lifetime on the users who are in the Administrators groups, but didn't see a way that a shorter lifetime could be set on those individual userids to achieve that. Anyone know if that's possible, and if so, how you'd do that? Thanks in advance! - Kit Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74263

    - MAJOR Hacking Hi - have a big problem and unsure how to correct despite best efforts with router, personal firewalls, etc. Brand new computer worked well for 2 weeks until one day norton reported many programs (AIM, internet expplorer, svchost.exe etc) accessing the internet through unknown Modules. Since that point, it doesnt matter if i completely wipe out the system or not (which I have done x number of times now) it reverts back to accessing the internet through unknown modules. I am fairly confident that whatever is happening, it is forcing my internet information to be filtered through some other server whose IP seems to be masked to my firewall logs. My logs are filled with entries of only my internal ip address. Anyone have ANY ideas?: Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74249

    - Searching tool for FULL disc encryption (not only volume files) I am searching a tool which allows to encrypt a whole harddisc and not only a volume file as the most of the offered tools. Yes, I know TrueCrypt. But this tool has problems with large external USB drives. I got permanent errors from the TrueCrypt driver in big operations like copying 20000 files onto a TC encrypted harddisc (Doing the same with the same USB hatrddisc unencrypted show no error). Yes, I know also PGPdisk. But this tool can only exist with a running PGP installation. I need a tool which can be launched easily on demand (when I plugged in the external USB drive) BestCrypt, DriveCrypt offer only encryption of volume files. Which tools exist otherwise?

    - Bug in Kerberos SSP within SSPI?? We have been trying to gain a detailed understanding of what SSPI does when authentication fails. Unfortunately while much documentation exists for how ti works when it all works, the documentation on what happens when things go wrong is almost non-existent! For example, take the scenario where the client initializes a context for a service with the SPN of "userA@domain.com". However the service is actually running as "userB@domain.com". On the first call to AcceptSecurityContext, when the client's first blob is passed in, SSPI returns SEC_I_CONTINUE_NEEDED. Shouldn't it return a failure code since the ticket embedded in the security blob (token) is not encrypted with a key it can understand? We've also noticed the behaviour differs between an initial logon and once the workstation has been locked and unlocked. On an initial login: AcquireCredentialsHandle (client side) - SEC_E_OK AcquireCredentialsHandle (server side) - SEC_E_OK InitializeSecurityContext - SEC_I_CONTINUE_NEEDED -> Send token to server AcceptSecurityContext - SEC_I_CONTINUE_NEEDED -> Send token to client InitializeSecurityContext - SEC_I_CONTINUE_NEEDED -> Send token to server AcceptSecurityContext - SEC_I_CONTINUE_NEEDED -> Send token to client InitializeSecurityContext - SEC_E_WRONG_PRINCIPAL After locking/unlocking the workstation: AcquireCredentialsHandle (client side) - SEC_E_OK AcquireCredentialsHandle (server side) - SEC_E_OK InitializeSecurityContext - SEC_I_CONTINUE_NEEDED -> Send token to server AcceptSecurityContext - SEC_I_CONTINUE_NEEDED -> Send token to client InitializeSecurityContext - SEC_E_LOGON_DENIED Where is the behaviour different after the lock/unlock and why the extra roundtrip in the initial logon case? Any enlightment would be greatly appreciated given the black-box nature of SSPI :) We are running a W2K3 with SP1 running in W2K+ mode for the Domain controller and WinXP with SP2 for the workstations.

    - Eractic Behaviour from Win2k Server Hi I hope someone can help me. I have three domains in my network environment - Network A, Network B and Network C. Two domains are running Windows 2000 Server and the last is Windows 2003 Server. Each domain has its own Domain Controller. Domain C has two domain controllers. DNS is running within each domain and the Dns server for each network is itself. Each domain communicates with the other via a trust relationship. There is one DHCP server in the network allocating IP addresses to the client machines running Windows XP. My problem is as follows- I have a 256/512Kbps wireless internet connection and I noticed that our internet bandwidth has reduced significantly over the last couple of days. I used Ethereal to pinpoint which machine was hogging the bandwith. Ethereal results showed that the computer is querying www.cheaptickets.com for DNS information along with some other wierd sites. It is one of the Domain Controllers in Network C. I installed Microsft Antispyware to scan the machine for spyware but nothing was found. The Norton Virus defintions are up to date and it found no viruses when a scan was done. When I take this machine off the network the internet bandwidth returns to its normail behaviour. This machine is currently running Norton, Exchange 5.5 and Print services. What should be my next course of action to rectify this problem. The task manager does not show any unregular behavour within the Processes nor Performance tab. What could be causing my problem and what should I do to rectify the issue. PLEASE HELP.

    - Windows XP/2000: Working without administrator rights Hoping some people can offer some advice. We have recently taken all users out of the Local Administrators group on their PCs (not our choice but the powers that be). All users are now either Users or Power Users. This has become a nightmare in that we now need to log users of and on in order to make any changes. I am after some tips to help make this easier. Here is what I am utilizing so far: - Remote Assistance (XP Only) - "Run As" from installing some programs Is there any way to do the following without having to log on as an administrator on their PC? - Modify the registry - Run System Tools (eg Disk Defragmenter) - Install programs - Modify the hosts file We have limited access to a single group policy for our OU but at this stage no rights to create additional ones.

    - LsaSrv Event 6033 I started getting the following error error message on my Windows 2003 Domain server: An anonymous session connected from LOCALMACHINENAME has attempted to open an LSA policy handle on this machine. The attempt was rejected with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED to prevent leaking security sensitive information to the anonymous caller. The application that made this attempt needs to be fixed. Please contact the application vendor. As a temporary workaround, this security measure can be disabled by setting the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\TurnOffAnonymousBlock DWORD value to 1. Can somebody suggest a way of figuring out what application/service is trying to access the LSA policy anonymously? Thanks, Irina Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74224

    - Firewalls I'm sure this has been asked before... I have Windows xpsp2 (has a firewall), MS broadband router for a home network(has a hardware firewall), Norton IS2005 (has a firewall) and, finally, my service provider has given us free security package which also has a firewall. The obvious question is should they all be on? Should they all be off but one? Do I benefit from having them all on or does it affect performance? Which one should be on? The router firewall seems to be the logical one to keep on but then I keep getting alerts from xp that I don't have a firewall on. Norton keeps telling me that I have another firewall on and do I want to turn it off? Help! Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74211

    - EFS / CRL / Laptops ? We have a W2K3 Enterprise (domain-joined) Certification Authority which issues a diverse group of certificates â?? smartcard logon, code signing, client auth, etc. Because of these functions, it publishes its CRL every twelve hours, and in a location visible only from inside the enterprise. If we issue EFS certificates from this server, for use on laptops, what will happen when they are off the network? If the user is on an airplane on a two day journey â?? or otherwise unconnected past the expiration of the current CRL â?? will the EFS certs work ok, or will they eventually not be usable for encryption?

    - Upon Logon, IE Trusted Sites trying to automatically be added -- help. I am certain that many users have already posted requesting help with this. However, as I have just setup my newsgroups reader, I am failing to find help with this during any of the searches I have tried. With that in mind here goes... I am running Windows XP Pro (Svc. Pack 2) and was attacked several weeks ago by something that reset my home page to about.blank. Very annoying. I researched on the Internet and found some wonderful advice which lead me to the offending files and registry entries -- all of which I removed successfully! Yeah! Except there is this one lingering issue -- Trusted Sites attempting to auto-add themselves to my IE Trusted Sites list. Now, the only reason I am aware of this is because I am currently running what is most likely quite an outdated MS AntiSpyware software (probably the beta version still). Every time I logon, I get several "green" messages from this software informing me of allowed items (of which I am not concerned), but at the end I am always getting an alert ("blue" alert) informing me of some site trying to be added to the Trusted Sites list in IE. Each time, it is a different site (e.g. just now solongas.com tried to be added automatically). Now, each time this alert pops up, I choose to block it and everything seems fine. However, it is very annoying to have to do this extra step after logging on every single time. Is there a procedure I can perform to detect the root cause of this auto-adding functionality and remove it? I suspect there are some rouge registry entries and/or some bad files in my filesystem which, once deleted, will no longer attempt to add any sites to my IE Trusted Sites list automatically. I greatly appreciate any and all suggestions. Many thanks. Jared Schrag Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74162

    - Terminal services oddity I am currently working on a server that is 10 feet from where I sit. I'm using my laptop to connect and configure via Terminal services. Because the server is in a default mode of locking after so many minutes of non use, the server locked me out. Obviously this is of little consequence if I have the password - I do, I am the one who set the password. However, the server is not recognizing the password that I set???!??! When I get up and walk to the server and physically enter the password on the server directly (not through Terminal services) I am allowed access. The server recognizes the password I set. But when I go back to my laptop and terminal server connection, I find the serve denies my access and sites incorrect password as the reason. Cap locks is not on - there is no apparent reason for this, can someone please offer advice- I'm clueless. Thanks Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74111

    - cannot apply KB901214 I have approved the security patch MS05-36 (ICC color module) in SUS and it has been pushed out to clients. However, when I attempt to install the patch on a client (W2k, WXP, W2k3), it returns immediately with nothing installed. No log is generated and no files modified. I have rolled out many patchea successfully in the past. What's happening? Thomas Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74105

    - exe programs I HAVE UPGRADED FROM WINDOWS 98 SE TO WINDOWS XP PRO SPACK2. I HAVE NOTICED WITH XP A NUMBER OF EXE PROGRAMS THAT I DID NOT SEE BEFORE UNDER WIN 98. THESE APPEAR ON MY FIREWALL PROGRAM ZONEALARM. I HAVE CHECKED THESE OUT AND ALTHOUGH ADVICE IS THAT WINDOWS HAVE PROGRAMS WITH THESE NAMES, SO DO TROJANS. THEY WARN TO BLOCK/DELETE. ARE THESE WINDOWS PROGRAMS OR NOT/?. HOW CAN I TELL?. EXAMPLE...mqsvc.exe spoolsv.exe dumprep.exe IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE BLOCKED, BUT DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE OR WILL STOP WINDOWS FROM OPERATING NORMALLY. PLEASE ADVISE ME.

    - Domain Name in Logon Screen I somehow made it so that a place to enter my domain name does not appear on my XP Pro logon screen. Even when I select Options, rather than displaying the space like it normally would, they is no box, however there are the letters "EN" on the left side of the window. Also, when I type in what I consider to be valid username and passwords (both user and administrator), it says they are wrong. How can I get the domain box to appear? Why don't my passwords work any more? Rod Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74096

    - Windows does not recognize my password unless I reboot. If say I hit the Windows key + L to lock the computer. Sometimes when I go to log back on it says ive typed the wrong password and wont let me log on. If I reboot the computer then type in my password it lets me log on just fine. Mind you this not being able to log on when I enter password does not happen all the time., but I am noticing it more often now. Its like sometimes it remembers what my password is and lets me log on and sometimes it does not. I can tell you that I am putting in the right password because when I re-boot it works fine. Please any advice would be appreciated Matthew Tag: Security token design question Tag: 74087

There is a smartcard chip embedded in a PnP device of completely irrelevant
class. It is not exposed as independent hardware function.
The chip can be accessed only thru the driver of this device.
How I can make this chip visible to CryptoAPI from user mode?
Can this be done with a user mode module that sends custom ioctls to the
driver?
Or I need a root enumerated driver that emulates a Smartcard reader?
Can such "virtual" smartcard readers pass HCT?

So who uses the Smartcard chip? The "PnP device of a completely irrelevant
class"? Does the chip present an ATR when requested?

You can write a driver that will function as a Smartcard reader, but
gettiing it thru WHQL is going to be a problem since the first thing that
IFDtest asks you to do is insert a card. You would use the Universal program
to get it through certification. I have the same problem since my harddisc
thinks its a Smartcard ... LOTS and LOTS of Smartcards.
