    - Microsoft Messenger Info and Help Never rec'd a response to a couple posts in regards to a mysterious "Microsoft Messenger" pop up. It was telling me I had to update to use. I used the "what's new" button, which was a microsoft website, so I updated and BOOM! It took down my Norton Virus Dectection and email scan. Any ideas how to fix the problem, and do you know of any other problems I might encure? Has anyone ever heard of this type of virus, attack, ect? D.Jones Tag: Spider Search Tag: 37827

When I click more info, I get http://www.microsoft.com/windows/messenger/whatsnew.asp I have my computer set on security against adult sites, so I cannot excess due to adult content.

    - cant disable the firewall to do virus scan A short time ago I read in these N.groups about a link here at Microsoft on how to enable the firewall that comes with the computor. I have "Win. XP". I click to that site and it gave me the option to manually set up the firewall or have it done for me- (I had already gone to the 'properties' part in my isp box and clicked on "advance tab" and checked the first box that said "Protect my computor .......")before I went to this web site- ANYHOW, I chose for 'them' do enable this security for me- So when I went to check this same box in the prop section>adv tab> then I noticed that the words UNDER the part where it says "protect my comp." had disapeared. So then I went to get a free virus scan at panda and realized it would not down load- I went back into the box and un-checked the "protect my comp" and it downloaded the activeX needed to do these scans-HOWEVER, it does NOT do anything when I click on SCAN my comp, or anything for that matter-I tried getting support via email from them but they have not responded-If I made my question clear, please advice me where to go.If not, I'll check back and see if I can give you more info. thanks Tag: Spider Search Tag: 37813

    - What to do (if anything) about SubSeven I used to report these to the FBI when they came from outside the USA but I've gotten lazy. I noticed yesterday our firewall dropped 17 SubSeven Attacks. One host tried 4 times but the others came from all over the place. Are these bots attempting these or actual idiots w/ nothing better to do? Should I just ignore them? Maybe there 's a public website where we can post the hostnames of the computers that launch these, or someone who keeps a database of such things.

    - Microsoft email attachments? Over the past week, I've been getting thousands of emails claiming to be from microsoft telling me that there is a patch attached to this email. I know this isn't true and someone has a virus but how do I track them down? The email headers are coming from dozens of places. Should I just shut down my email account and start over or is there a way to fix this. These are like 116kb attachments and my pc is geting quite bogged down. I have 4678 of them right now. I called Verio, who hosts my email server and they said they can show me the email server that the mail came from but that's it. How do I stop this madness? Tag: Spider Search Tag: 37798

    - Real weird situation. Hello, I have been asked to setup the security for our application suite and one setup in our lab causes me a great deal of headache! In this setup there are 3 machines, machine A is the pdc, machine B and machine C are normal worstation in the domain. All machines are running windows 2000. As far as I can tell everything is configured OK on the machines, not warning in the event viewers.... BUT On the PDC (machine A) the domain administrator password is 'toto', on machine B the local administrator also has its password set to 'toto'. So I logon machine B as local administrator and then I run 'net group AGroup /ADD /DOMAIN' and to my surprise that works. A new group is created in the domain. If I go on the PDC, and the group has really been created. I don't get it at all. But if the administrator's password on machine B is different that the domain administrator's password, the group is not created. Can anyone help me to understand this one? Thank you!

    - Help: Unable to install WinXp Security Critical Service Pack Hi There: I tried to update my WinXP Home Edition with the Service Pack 1 (Express) critical Update but unable to install it. The update was successfully downloaded and extracted but when it goes to the installation part, it recommended me to close all anti-virus program which I did and did the Back up system or close all open program which I also did. But still this important Critical Update is not able to install and pop-up a window saying: Service Pack 1 Set up Error - Set Up canceled. In the Web Page Dialog - it is shown that it is not done. I review the download history and "Retry" many times but not able to do it. Any help to give me an idea to let me install this important Critical Update. I have just spent 2 months to remove the viruses I have even though I have the latest McAfee Virus Scan and do the DOS SCAN, turn off the System Restore, Disk Clean etc. It is like hell, believed it. I need to go back and forth to McAfee to online chat with them for 12 times with different technicians and also includes 2 supervisors. Hope helping hands are there this time. Tks. H. .

    - XP came with comp/need cd 4 repair About a month ago, I downloaded this game called BINARY from natomic.com, it was a simple little Nintendo style game, but it somehow changed some important files. Whenever I restart my computer, and i log in, a message displays saying that some files have been changed, and it asks me to insert the Windows XP CD so the computer can restore the original files. XP came with my comp, so I don't have the CD. The file changes weren't big enough to do much damage, because I haven't noticed anything wrong. But, I just bought a game, and the game required that I install Direct X 9.0b. It tried but then a message came up saying that Direct X didn't pass the security test for XP. I thought this strange, but was sure it was the fault of the changed files. I then downloaded Direct X 9.0b directly from Microsoft.com. It tried to install but the same prompt came up telling me that the download files didn't pass the security test. I'm sure that if I repaired the files, that I would be able to install direct x 9.0b, but I don't have a CD. Does anyone know a way to restore the files without an XP CD?

    - Microsoft Patch I have downloaded, from Microsoft Updates, the Cumulative Patch for the Internet Explorer 6, however I keep receiving something in my Yahoo e-mail box to download immediately, The Patch. when I checked into this attachment, my virus scan tells me the attachment is "dirty". I keep deleting, but it keeps coming back. Is this a legitimate Microsoft warning? I do not want any viruses and currently have McAfee virus scan. Is this enough protection? Thank you. lvnv# Tag: Spider Search Tag: 37666

    - Bookedspace Hello all! I have a question. Recently I discovered a file named bs2.dll And in the Run folder in the registry there's an entry like "Rundll32.exe bs2.dll" When I connect to internet, this stuff connects to www.bookedspace.com and www.ignkeywords.com Does anybody know what is it? Thanks in advance. -- -=/ Nihr0M \=- Tag: Spider Search Tag: 37665

I've got a spider search application on my PC that has
itself hidden somewhere I cannot find. It added its
toolbar for casino games, and pops up several ads for
porn. Does anyone know the app or executable I have to
remove to stop this? Thanks
