    - symproxysvc.exe uses 99% cpu time Recently, there was an Internet Explorer Script Error (Expected ',' Code 0) shown on my PC for each clicking on new web page. Then I renewed my Norton Internet Security (2002) subscription. The Script Error seems to be stopped; but it took a long time (3-5 mins.) to open the new page. Checking the Task Manager I found a 'symproxysvc.exe' task, run by system, always used 99% of cpu time. The process can be ended, but was reactivated when clicking the IE browser. Therefore, I disabled the Norton Internet Security to find out that IE worked perfectly without the script error and the 'symproxysvc.exe' is not running. What is the problem? How to solve it? TIA.

    - I am having some spyware problems...HELP please! First off I have Windows XP Pro and I have the messenger disabled in services. I also have the most current up to date version of Norton Anti-Virus/Internet Security. I clicked on some site and and it was trying to install something and I kept trying to close it so I had to do it using the taskmanger. Now all these pop-ups keep coming up: "Welcome to the System Performance Wizard", "Spyware Detected" which all say to click here for software that can get rid of it (yeah right). There is even one pop-up that says "Attention" in the header and the body of the pop-up has cartoons of bugs in different sexual positions! Also my IE's default homepage has been changed to a site that says "about:blank" in the URL bar and when I launch IE more of these pop-ups come up. Any ideas????

    - PLEASE READ: Microsoft policy regarding patch distribution I keep seeing this question come up over and over again, so I thought I'd post a reminder message. +-----------------------------------------------------+ | Microsoft NEVER distributes patches through e-mail. | +-----------------------------------------------------+ If you ever receive an email with an attachment and it claims to come from us, delete it. (Or, forward to secure@microsoft.com.) No matter how official-looking it might appear, I promise you it is a forgery. Furthermore, if you are enticed to click a link to download a patch, scrutinize the link closely. If you see an "@" in the link, then again you are reading a false message. Someone has crafted a link to look like it's on microsoft.com, when in fact the destination site will be whatever's *after* the "@". So again, delete it or forward it to us.

    - Spybot message:"DSO EXPLOIT: There is a security hole..... I see some reassuring responses from "Sandi" and "Saljaline." I hate to make you respond once again to the same brush fire as you say, but I really want my mom to be reassured that she is really safe. She is a senior citizen who knows little about computers and I don't know much either. Just a brief 'yes' or ' no' would be great. The message she's getting seems to be a little bit different from the others, and spybot is claiming they can't fix the problem. Here's her message: "DSO Exploit: There is a secuity hole in IE allowing websites to execute code without asking you first. You can find more information at . . . My mom is a Windows XP user and she is updated with all the Microsoft critical updates. Is she safe?

    - Web Problem I'm hoping someone with computer knowledge can help me out: I'm having trouble viewing certain images. Example: The following website is for a local record store near my home: www.letitbe.com If you visit this site you will notice a scrolling banner ad on the top for contests,etc. The banner ad simply doesn't appear on my screen. I figured it was my Norton Internet Security 2004 (antivirus and firewall) causing the problem...so I turned it off entirely, but still have the same problem. The images just aren't there. Maybe it is a Windows XP security setting I need to adjust? On another site where I have the same problem, www.livephish.com (unable to view s scrolling banner/image), the FAQ for that site suggests to "make sure your network administrator is allowing HTTP access on port 8000 on your machine." To be honest I have no idea what this means or how to check it. I amdoubting this is the problem. The only thing I can imagine blocking a "port" would be the firewall but, like I said, I turned that off and am still having the same problem. The second site, www.livephish.com, is supposed to show a scrolling son title in the "Now Playing" box in the upper right conrner. I am unable to see that scrolling amage on my screen. Can anyone see a similarity between the livephish.com buttons/scrolling song title & the banner ad on top of www.letitbe.com? Is it a java thing or a flash problem maybe? What exactly is my computer not allowing in?! Any troubleshooting help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thi is driving me CRAZY! Please take a second and check those sites to see if there is a similarity in the stuff not showing up on my screen. I'm thinking XP must be blocking something. You have no idea how happy it would make me to solve this problem. Thanks a lot! Tag: SmartCard-based security software Tag: 54372

    - NicTech Spyware OK, I was having problems with pop-ups and after running Ad-Aware, decided to run SpyBot. However after running both, Ad-Aware kept showing the same exploit (VX32.BetterInternet) but in a different DLL. Each file would require a reboot to fix, and then when I ran Ad-Aware again, it would show a different DLL with the same exploit. Finally after some internet searching I determined that the problem initiated from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify and a key GuardianXXXXX (4 or 5 random alpha characters following the Guardian). Well this pointed to a dll called adaamon.dll in my System32 directory. I was unable to delete the the DLL under any circumstances. Even tried logging in to safe mode. Tried deleting the Registry Key but on reboot it would reappear with a different random string and Ad-Aware kept finding a different DLL.. Appears to have been a copy of the adaamon.dll. Finally resolved this issue by rebooting and not logging in, then using a second PC and Windows Explorer, connected to my PC via the C$ share and was able to delete the adaamon.dll. (Which is a Hidden System Read Only file). Then I was able to delete the registry key and it did not reappear on reboot. Current versions of NAV2004 with up to date sig files did not catch this. Finally ran Ad-Ad-Aware and Spybot until both were satisfied, used advanced features for the Ad-Aware search as specified at computercops.us for the BetterInternet issue. Don't know how someone without the second PC could fix this as I would assume there is NO way to bypass the Winlogon Notify reg key. Since this notification was to run on both logon and logoff, I would assume the dll could re-configure itself if you deleted the key or changed permissions on the key (Which I had also tried), during the logoff process for reboot.

    - Task Schedular TCP port Hi, In order to secure my Windows XP system, I would like to eliminate unnecessary IP port usage. I am also using a firewall, but better not to have port open in the first place. I have found that the Task Scheduler service opens a TCP port (usually 1025 but may be different if not started at boot time). It took some time to find that Task Scheduler was responsible for this port, since it runs in the monolithic svchost.exe -k netsvcs process, and unlike almost every other service does not close the port when the service is stopped. (I presume it would be closed if _every_ svchost.exe -k netsvcs service was stopped such that this process terminated, but I didn't want to turn off System Restore). I would have expected Task Scheduler to be an entirely local service, without need for network connectivity. Why does it open this port, and how can I request a 'local computer only' mode where it does not do so? Thanks Jonathan Tag: SmartCard-based security software Tag: 54318

    - Spurious network activity from HTML Help Hi, In order to secure my Windows XP system, I would like to eliminate unnecessary IP port usage. I have found that HTML Help often opens a UDP port, as well as sending a number of HTTP POST requests to different internet addresses for ocget.dll. You can see this using a Personal Firewall and/or packet sniffer after selecting Help Topics in Registry Editor or Calculator, for example. The ocget.dll requests appear to be part of the generic Internet Component Download mechanism, related to the CODEBASE attribute of OBJECT tags and the HKLM \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Internet Settings\CodeBaseSearchPath registry key. I presume the OBJECT references relate to the HTML Help control, trying to ensure that the latest version is being used every time the control is loaded. My point is that HTML Help should be an entirely local process, quite unlike web browsing. The version on my computer should be perfectly sufficient, so there is no need to keep checking it is up to date. Is there anyway to disable this check just for HTML Help? My google searches have only thrown up ways to turn Internet Component Download off altogether, affecting web browsing as well, which is not what I want. Finally, why is HTML Help opening the UDP port? I have not yet seen any traffic on it. Thanks Jonathan Tag: SmartCard-based security software Tag: 54317

Check with your smartcard vendor they would have any software compatible
with your card and reader. Otherwise, upgrade to an OS with better native
smartcard support, like WindowsXP.
