    - BYEBYEADS.com I am submitting this message to hopefully get the attention of MS developers to crack down on places like BYEBYEADS.com They have found my IP address or installed a program on my system without my permission and send me a message every hour give or take. It interupts my processing, games, work, CD-Burning and everything else. They say i need to pay $25 to rid myself of these messages. I want MS to look into this company and take the necessary action to stop this company from unauthorized access into my system. Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24938

    - IIS5 not working after having installed MS03-023,24,25,26 I have installed with windows update on a windows 2000 SP3 server this new 4 Security bulletins: MS03-023 Buffer Overrun In HTML Converter Could Allow Code Execution (823559) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS 03-023.asp MS03-024 Buffer Overrun in Windows Could Lead to Data Corruption (817606) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS 03-024.asp MS03-025 Flaw in Windows Message Handling through Utility Manager Could Enable Privilege Elevation (822679) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS 03-025.asp MS03-026: Buffer Overrun in RPC Interface May Allow Code Execution http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS 03-026.asp After the reboot, the web site was not working, so if I typed in a borwer the URL of my site, nothing happened, it was very very slow, i would say 100 times more times than usual. There were no error messages, the WWW service is started, Internet Service Manager says that the site is Up&Running, the log files of IIS are writing my request, but IIS is not giving files back to the browser. I have then removed the 4 Security Bulletins, using Control Panel/add remove programs, but the site was not working anyway. I have rebooted many times the server, and I have noticed that suddenly, after 5, 10 or 20 minutues IIS starts responding to requests with the usual speed. (it seems like there is a timeout of a service and/or a dll) If have then seen in Internet Service Manager that the Execute Permission of my ASP applications was set to: Scripts and Executable and not to Scripts like it should be normally. I Have changed that to Scripts, and from that moment everything works fine, so If I reboot the server, IIS starts resonding to requests just after the reboot, like it does normally. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, because if I change it back to scripts and executable it works fine. I don't know if one of that 4 Security Bulletins have caused this problem, even after having removed them, or if someone has been able from the Internet to alter my web server. Can please someone help me? thanks Eugenio La Mesa Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24926

    - Looks like a hoax.... I've received an email with the following characteristics: TO: MS Consumer <> FROM: From: MS Corporation Network Technical Support <ibhrop-cacykxax@NdIYKcVnhh.com> SUBJECT: Security Pack ATTACHMENT: patch643.exe CONTENT: "MS Consumer this is the latest version of security update, the "July 2003, Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates all known security vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express as well as five newly discovered vulnerabilities. Install now to protect your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could allow an attacker to run executable on your system. This update includes the functionality of all previously released patches..." Then follows a table and some contact addresses at Microsoft. Of course, I did not run the file but virus checked it and was not thought to be a virus by my anti- virus (kept up to date) software. I thought I'd post this here to see if anyone else has received the email. I'm sure it's a scam of some sort. Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24875

I have also made it into a PPS file (Powerpoint Presentation Show) file. It is protected and cannot be changed. However, if you right click on the file, you can still print it. I have made the slides hidden... but still you can print it. Is there a way to disable printing within a powerpoint document? Thanks. Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24873

Having loaded the hardware and then the software all seemed to load o.k. till the system restarted the system comes up but the only thing that shows for each window is a small 4X5 inch blank window in the middle of the screen before the system hangs . had to do a date restore to get rid of programs as i could not get into start fast enough. Does anyone have any ideas? Dell told me that usb speed 2.0 was the fastest as Onclick said usb speed needs to be maxinum. imane capture time <0.1s Verify method 1:1, 1:n I am awaiting to hear from onclick but don't have much hope. I now see that a list of Bio fingerprint approved for use with Microsoft and worse yet i own shares in Identix any help will be apreciated. Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24865

    - Immediate Attention Required I recently received an e mail with the subject of 'immediate attention required' and a file attached titled installer.exe. The message said this was a patch update and recommended for all windows users. Win95,win98,winme,and winxp. Supposedly this patch is designed to block a major security hole in all versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer. I am hesitant to install this patch since I don't think the message is legitimate. Microsoft has quit supporting Windows 95 and 98 so I doubt they would send a patch for them. Has anyone else gotten this e mail? Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24856

    - MS JVM on windows 98--uninstall? two issues really: 1. I find it silly and possibly risky to update the JVM with the latest security patch. I find it irresponsible of MS not to extend their wise "remove Java" mentality to all supported operating systems, and I urge them to do so. Is there a way to uninstall the MS JVM? When one hides Internet Explorer on XP, does that remove any security risks associated with the Internet Explorer rendering engine? (some of my clients prefer not to use IE.) Best Regards, Sam P.S The e-mail address is a working address. It can be disabled if need be :-) Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24855

    - Crash after downloading latest security patches for Windows ME Yesterday,as I've done several times in the past, I downloaded the latest security patches. After I left the Net and clicked "restart", I received a message indicating that Microsoft had detected some irregularities. It asked if I wanted them corrected. When I clicked on "yes", my pc crashed. (It never did before.) A DELL help person walked me through getting it running again. Now I'm afraid to download any patches in the future. Any advice?

    - WinXP Critical Security Update KB 821557 I downloaded/installed the 821557 Critical Security Update for Windows XP from the Windows Update site. After installation/restart my PC (HP Pavilion ze 5155) running Windows XP Home w/SP1 slowed down to a practical halt. After rebooting several times, the OS returned to normal speed but I could no longer use the shortcuts I had created in the quick launch toolbar. All shortcut properties dialogues warned me that the shortcut's target was invalid; eventhough the targets existed on my hard drive. I restored my system to the pre-821557 update and all shortcuts in my quick launch toolbar work correctly again. Why does 821557 block the ability to create valid shortcuts in the quicklaunch bar as well as on the desktop? Thanks for any assistance on this issue. Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24833

    - Security threat... Takes over mouse on page. Hi guys, there is a site I regularly go to, http://www.ggmania.com and on this site the guy has some sort of script that takes over your mouse and drags it slowly to a links on the left side of his page called, 'make this my default home page' blah blah... I couldn't get control of my mouse until it took me to that location. It could have been anything and who knows what kind of malicious intents could have been used. I think this is a high security thing that should be stopped. I tried clicking and violently moving my mouse and it did nothing until it got to this location! Just letting you know!

    - Critical Vulnerability of MS in News Yesterday I read in the newspaper yesterday that there is a critical vulnerability for all versions of Microsoft Windows and that users should go to www.microsoft.com/security for a free software repairing patch. I did that and the info said that I had to do the repair in steps. I did the first step and it took between 2-3 hours and I had to sit at my computer the whole time because of the message we get if our computer is idle for a while...that you will be disconnected in 29 seconds if you don't click STAY ONLINE. This morning I went to Review and Install Updates (as instructed yesterday) to finish the other steps for my repair. At that part it stated that it would take 2 hrs. and 23 min. Is that step really necessary? I know that would probably take 4 hr. on my computer. Tag: Windows 98 Tag: 24817

Sinceyou didn't mention what bulletin you were referring, i'm going to take
a stab at it. If your software is not mentioned, it should not concern it.
However, there will soon no longer be mentions of NT 4.0 because it is over
7 years old and not supported.
To get a check up on what may be needed for your operating system, go to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Click on the scan for updates and see what is available. It will not only
provide for security updates but drivers as well.
