    - Hijacked by My Own System Restore Hijacked by my own System Restore. Oh no! What am I gonna do? I'm no network administrator and all these fantastic companies with whom I do business provide such an excellent level of support! I've been told: Oh what harm is it really doing. To lets complete another debug sequence to have you turned off system restore. I swear to The Good Lord Above. Network Associates Tech support asked me that question a total of over one hundred times.Thank You Network Associates?!?!? Your product is disabled by this worm (comes in as a windows update) Undetected by your virus shield and Whats more it removes a vso.dll from the virus shield online. So not only does it disable Privacy Service it turns off Virus Shield. Then it dumps and recreates more junk across your startup and your boot.ini. I'm pretty sure I've got N(xxx).exe/install. There is no info at all on this deal. I looked through 1000's of pages. CVS 6 months to add definition., tech outdated, I'm all alone. This was the most pervasive virus in the history of buggers. I'm not sure if it was the virus or Bill Gates' wonderful XP product; but this thing was able to allocate itself along with Dos when a complete debug sequence and repartition are completed. It HiJacks System Restore. It Locks you out from turning the settings down...No Toggle enabled. You can not reach the Commands screen to toggle System Restore. And access denied on The Sys Config. You can see it as file when you toggle show hidden files under folder options (you know remove manually) Access Denied. Try to run a .dat engine from Dos..Well the bright guys over there at Microsoft and their support and peripheral companies have decided to allocate the Service packs and the updated patches their own restore points and this deal hides with them! (Bill! whats up with all that computer lingo about turning off WMP and Network and NetMeeting privacy features and network views?) I know I read every file on my computer. What happens on my side of the wall at the ether net cable into MY COMPUTER IS MY BUSINESS!!! I know all about these hotfixs after attempting sfc /scanboot and receiving error insert XP pro with sp2 (I only have sp1. thanks again Bill!!) Thanks for the great support. I knew there was a reason I am sitting on 1000's of dollars worth of Microsoft products. WOW! I had no idea how to execute one of these commands or searches but over the last 5 days 12-16 hours a day I have learned quite a bit. People do not count on these huge conglomerates to whom we pay sickeningly inflated sums of money to help you when the chips are down.because they have moved all their tech support to Pakistan (God forbid this is not ethnocentric the Pakistani people with whom I spoke were the most polite and considerate people in the world.One woman in particular was such a good little employee.She wanted so much to promote herself as the representative for an Oh Great and Powerful Oz...opps Dell.I felt glad that I was able to promote the economy of that Semi Peripheral country..for like 2 minutes) Lets face it she was so out of her league it was a joke. (Certainly not her fault but a training issue.And why would huge Empire trying to cut cost invest in extra training?) I finally found this sucker after much reading and then by clicking on and off power to frieze up boot sequence I was able to get into msconfig and then System Registry. I had to read through and try and elucidate what each one of theses files were. I finally found it like 15 minutes ago. I can't open it and I don't know what to do with it yet..I will by tomorrow. HUGHE COPORATE GIANTS!!!!! HERE BY TAKE NOTE JOE CONSUMER IS STANDING UP!!!!! HE SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!! YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE: NO MORE INEFFECTIVE PRODUCTS & SUPPORT!!!!

    - Is it possible to secure private objects with hierarchical relationship taking, hierarchy into account? Hi, everybody I have some private objects which I would like to secure. These objects have some hierarchical relationship similar to those found in the file system and registry. Is it possible to use standard mechanisms for inheriting access rights from parent object, propagation etc. in case of private objects? If yes, where can I possibly find some examples of proper way of doing this kind of things? I'm using CreatePrivateObjectSecurity, SetPrivateObjectSecurity, GetPrivateObjectSecurity functions to get/set private object's security and they are working fine on each particular object, however I'm not sure whether I can use them to define hierarchical inheritance of rights in the same way in which files can inherit some rights from their folders which in turn inherited them from their parent folders etc. Ability to inherit rights and to define the hierarchy for this inheritance is the key point for me and I will appreciate very much if you can give any ideas on this matter. I'm sure that this is quite a common task and will be surprised if there is no appropriate support for this kind of things in Windows Thanks in advance, Antonio Tag: Watchguard Firewall and PPTP Tag: 42171

    - Unwanted Favorites Sites A persistent program (which neither AdAware nor SpyBot has been able to detect or remove) keeps adding the same few sites to my Favorites every once in a while. Shortcuts matching these sites also sometimes turn up in c: (no directory) or in C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Favorites I've run HijackThis, but I'm not enough of an expert to tell what is or isn't spyware.

    - WEB Attacks I am setting up ISA server for our local network. If I, only, allowed outgoing request, should I be concerned that someone could steal files or packets of data that travel internally or somebody could destroy the installation? If it is the later, then I would mind a lot less. If it means that somebody could steal the data, would DMZ setup resolve this problem? I guess the question is: eventhough it is possible, is it being done today? If it is being done today, is there a solution? Thanks in advance Tag: Watchguard Firewall and PPTP Tag: 42155

    - Password Protection for Notepad We frequently need to use Notepad to store sensitive data for sending to others. We use Notepad as it leaves the data in its original format whereas WORD imposes formatting. I don't see how to password protect the Notepad file. We use encryption but would also like to use a password. If I can't password protect Notepad files can you refer me to another product that is generic like Notepad (no special formatting goin on) that I can password protect?

Before I donate my old computer I would like to make sure there is no personnal information left on the hard drive.

    - Installing backup exec (8.6.3308) after hardening w2k / IIS / MSSQL Server After following both microsofts advice and those that can be found in the O'Reilly book "Securing Windows NT/2000 Servers for the Internet", I found out that the server went into production without running backup exec, we are currently running the backup that follows with 2k, but I would much preffer the added functionality of BE. The problem is that so far, I have failed to install the software, I get all manners of different errors(or none at all, the installation just never starts) Long story short, I have a production box running without sufficient backup, for a smooth restore. I realize that I might be too late, to salvage this box, but hoped the expertise here might be able to help me. I might be missing the obvious as I have little experience in running w2k(or any windows box) as a webserver. When I try to run the installation from the cd, it fails without any error, just never starts. If I try to run the specific setup.exe from the cd(or a copied over version), it tells me it is not a valid w32 application. If I try from remove / add programs, it tells me: "Access to the specified device, path or file was denied" When I click ok to that, I get: "Windows could not run the installation program. You may be out of memory. Close some files or programs, and try again" Which I expect is just windows way of telling me it doesn't really know what goes wrong ;o) running the setup from command line(silent setup), doesn't even create the appropiate log file, which kinda strengthens my idea that it never initiated the install procedure... Any ideas/suggestions/help would be much appreciated Sincerely Dan A Tag: Watchguard Firewall and PPTP Tag: 42133

    - SUS Server + Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003 Too many services have too many issues on the same box. When I installed SUS on my homegrown, everything was alright for about 2-3 months. Then, all of a sudden, after a while, the webadministration for SUS dies. However, I can still tell that the service still works. For example. SUS is configured to automatically deploy fixes that were previously approved. Not being able to approve new fixes, a month or so ago, I recovered new fixes from the SUS server. WTF. How can I get the web interface back. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the services. I think there is something wrong with the ACL on the directory to where it installs and haven't been able to figure it out for the life of me.

    - 3DES encryption and unable to browse https sites! I chose to take advantage of the best encryption offered by XP Pro by enabling 3DES encryption. Nasty side effect: whenever I try to access a secure website, I receive "The page cannot be displayed". As soon as I disable 3DES, accessing secure websites works fine. Anybody have any input on this (other than "why use 3DES" or "don't use 3DES!) Thanks- Samir Tag: Watchguard Firewall and PPTP Tag: 42113

The remote adress is 66.11.143.*** Then a process name "system" transmits Remote Procedure Call (TCP) through random ports, but to an ip: 81.36.**.*** Then "NetBIOS" (UDP) transmits something called NetBIOS Traffic through random ports also.

    - Fake Microsoft Update Email Boy, talk about guts! After posting a question on the Newsgroup for PowerPoint on Monday and posting my email address to boot, I was bombarded with four Emails (and maybe even seven) that all had the "LOOK" of an official Microsoft Email / Website. They all told me that the attachment in the Email was the latest patch / update / fix to whatever (Outlook, Explorer, Windows, etc.). Fortunately, my ISP's virus software caught the W32.Swen.A@mm worm in each attachment sent, before my virus software even had a chance to get it. So, look out everyone - tis the season to wreak havoc among us all. And they are checking the newsgroup postings to find their victims. Dave D Tag: Watchguard Firewall and PPTP Tag: 42100

    - Weird start up probs Hi all, When I boot up my laptop (WinXP Home), all most immediately my dial up connection starts up. I have checked all of the dialup connections & they appear to be ok - oh I have compared these settings to a desktop I use (again WinXP Home). Thats the first problem. Now the second problem in my opinion is possibly tied in with the first. When my laptop has successfully logged on I get a toolbar appear & if I click on HOME it takes me to a site www.active-max.com. I must admit it doesnt really bother me to much however reading your groups this might be quite serious & therefore I would like to take some action. I regular use Sybot search & destroy, I use black ice defender as my firewall & use Nortons anti virus. Also I regulary do my microsoft updates. I have also checked in my add & remove programs to ensure there have not been any dodgy software loaded - there is not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thank in advance Jim Tag: Watchguard Firewall and PPTP Tag: 42065

    - Identify these IE exploits? Hi everyone, I'm trying to help some people who have been the victims of a pretty suspicious porn website that installs dialler programs and stuff on their visitors' computers. The problem is, I know zero about javascript, and am fairly clueless when it comes to IE exploits too, which they seem to use pretty heavily in this case. I think I have the general idea about what happens when people open these webpages (CAB-files get downloaded and executed/installed) but it would be really great if anyone could help me identify in more detail what the javascript code does and what exploits are being used. I'll include three files below. Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

    - Command Prompt of Firewall Folks: Is there a way to programatically (via DOS) switch on/off the Firewall built into Windows XP ? I have a copy of McAfee Firewall - Personal Edition - installed on my home PC. I just wondering if this program allows itself to be controlled (turned on/off & configured) programmatically ? If so, how can I programmatically (using DOS) turn on/off my Mcafee Firewall and do some other basic configurations from the DOS PROMPT or from a batch file. Thanks, John.

You need to log into the local machine with the same credentials as that on
the domain before doing a VPN connection.
