    - On both firewall???? I'm running WinXP behind a router with NAT, do I still have to activate the XP firewall? Thank you in anticipation. Victor --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Disabling Firewalls Hi, Sorry not sure if this is the right newsgroup to post under, but anyways here is my question. I'm trying to install the Wireless G-Base Station MN-700. It says I must disable my firewall, so I go to Network Connection, and look and the tab that should be unclicked, is unclicked, but during setup I'm still getting the message saying I must disable the firewall. Is there something else I can do or try to get rid of it? I'm running Windows XP. Tag: Windows Security Update CD Feb 2004 Tag: 53070

    - Internet security To ensure privacy on the PC, at home, I can, if I so choose, add passwords and encryption but, if there is someone with me, he can see what I see, as there are no magic spectacles to reveal the contents only to me once the door is opened. So, it seems that such devices are of no use when working in protected areas whilst on the net, since the hacker who circumvents my firewall presumably also can see what I see. Is the only security a firewall and a dynamic IP with plenty of logging off to change it? One other security question. I recently read of a registry hack to prevent Windows storing passwords but, assuming it works, how can a password be recognised unless it is stored and, since there must be a record somewhere in the system, doesn't the expert hacker have the knowledge and tools to find it?

    - Spyware [Interstitial Ad Delivery by 180 Search Delivery] I have an obnoxious program called "Interstitial Ad Delivery by 180 Search Delivery" that appears to be responsible for causing pop-up advertisements when I use Internet Explorer. Another program called "PAD Lookups by 180 Search Assistant" also appears to be tied into the problem. When I try to delete the program, I am told I have to be connected to the internet. I click OK and it takes me to a site requiring me to download and use a "removal" program. I am not willing to get stung twice. Any one know of an easy way to remove this adware?

    - Computer shutting down For the past few months, I've been having a problem with my computer. My floppy drive will act like it's "reading" a disk, but there is no disk in the drive. Then the computer shuts completely down. It doesn't matter if I am online or not. Is this a security problem? I have run (and always have ran) Norton Internet Security and Anti- Virus. Could it be a bad drive? Please help!!! Tag: Windows Security Update CD Feb 2004 Tag: 53038

    - Netsky firus on Mail server Hi All My Eoo.log is continuously infected with the netsky virus. I have a dedicated Exchange 2000 server runing on W2k server platform with the latest service packs for each installed. I have Symatec antivirus corporated edition and Antivus /filtering for Exchange 2000 (up-to-date virus definitions) install to protect us against virus attacks, so far it has been working very well until the 14 May 2004. Our server is a strictly internal mail server. In order to send and receive mail outside the LAN our outlook 2000 clients are configured to pull mail from a pop3 and smtp server hosted by our ISP this mail is then stored on our mail server; about 30 users have this setup whilst others can only send and receive on the LAN. These 30 users have been pulling emails from the External server that are infected with the netsky virus. When our internal Mail server does a realtime virus scans it quarantines the EOO.LOG file from the MDBDATA folder and no one can access their mailbox. Is there some way I can protect this server from this happening all the time, and this file from not being quarantine? because when you perform a comprehensive removal of the virus it is not found. Thank you in advance for your help Best regard Sam Tag: Windows Security Update CD Feb 2004 Tag: 53034

    - Norton Antivirus I do not know if this is a windows problem, but I cannot update my Norton Antivirus software. The Symantec web site is the only web site that I get the "page cannot be displayed" when I try to download the update. I can access the site on other computers so I know it is not the web site. My temp files have been deleted, my firewall is disabled. Nothing I do allows that web site to function properly. Any ideas? I am able to surf everywhere else. ????

    - VirtuMonde Recently upgraded from Adsubtract 2.xx to AdSubtract Pro 3.04. SpySubtract was also acquired and installed. (Intermute) The day of installing these shortly afterwards ran Norton CleanSweep (Fast and Safe choice) which stated my browser (IE6.0) was open in regards to flushing internet cache etc. Found IExplorer was open per CTRL-ALT-DEL. (Win98SE) No IE window was open and visible on the desktop display. Closed IExplorer per CTRL-ALT-DEL. Rebooted. No open IExplorer. Shutdown a few hours later Following day, somewhere along the line, same thing happened. Removed IE same way from memory, rebooted, and all remained okay. Following morning, scanned with PestPatrol. Found VirtuMonde. One line entry in registry. Deleted. Line in registry was: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\appid\{0dc5cd7c-f653-4417-aa43-d457be3a9622} per PestPatrol. No other VirtuMonde indications were found.. 2 days later, no more instances of open IExplorer, with no IE window open. I seldom browse except via Google to get info. Two hardware firewalls, and ZA Pro. NAV2002. Adsubtract Pro, Spysubtract, PestPatrol each with current defintions/updates. Following run and check memory: NAV, AdSubtract, SpySubtract, PestPatrol. Connect to internet via cable modem. Hardware firewalls consist of a router and a dedicated PC as NAT firewall in series. This PC and another PC connect to the NAT Firewall via hub. The other PC is dedicated video rendering, seldom on. Was not on when problem ensued. All applicable 98SE security updates installed. Cookies, cache, history cleaned daily after any browsing. Questions: Is there simply a coincidence between the software installation noted above and VirtuMonde? Why did PestPatrol allow the VirtuMonde entry into the registry to begin with? It runs in memory and checks memory. Why did SpySubtract not locate VirtuMonde? What EXACTLY is VirtuMonde? I've seen various including PestPatrol's writeup. Not clear. Layman's terms please. Know that it's simply a confidentiality bug, not a virus, but that's all I understand. Panda has best writeup, PestPatrol is more throrough in how to manually delete same. How can IExplorer be open with no open IE window on the desktop display? Have thrown alot of money and time towards hardware and software to prevent outside intervention on my PC. What can I do any further? Standalone? Tag: Windows Security Update CD Feb 2004 Tag: 52994

Hello, I've tried everything to get rid of cws.searchx including running cwshredder, search and destroy, adaware, and hijack this (and deleting appropriate entries); deleting regsitry entries; and every other thing you can think of, and the darn thing keeps coming back within 20 minutes of getting rid of it.

    - Win2k3 "Security Guide" templates applicable during 2k to 2k3 migration? Hello We have a mixed NT/2k domain, and are decomissioning our last NT DC to bring up a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. End result would be a 2000/2003 domain. I've been reading the "Windows Server 2003 Security Guide," and would like to implement those templates. Must all Domain Controllers be Windows 2003 in order for the templates to be applied If a server is 2k and the 2k3 templates are issued to the OU, as i understand, only 2k settings will apply and 2k3 settings would be ignored by the 2k machine, correct Thank you very much Edgard Tag: Windows Security Update CD Feb 2004 Tag: 52966

    - spybot I've read many times on the forum, the accolades of spybot search and destroy. I did install it last night after Norton caught adware on my pc but could not delete it. The parasite is Adware.Bitnet. Spybot did not get rid of it either. After I installed Spybot, I ran another Norton scan and the infected files were still there. Does anyone have any suggestions. I then uninstalled Spybot, because it kept running a scan each time I logged onto xp. I downloaded it from the tucows site. Is this correct one? Thank you.

    - Use any shared wireless NIC to open backdoor to any network. This is an eye opener! The following scenario shows how a wireless NIC on an XP client can be configured to communicate to any other wireless NIC in near proximity. I didn't realize that a wireless NIC could be used as an access point for a malicious user, you don't even need an access point. How can I make sure that this can't happening on my network via active directory http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/columns/bowman/02april08.as Tag: Windows Security Update CD Feb 2004 Tag: 52951

    - Adware Binet I have Norton Antivirus 2004. When I run system scans it keeps detecting Adware viruses that Norton is unable to delete. Every time this happens I go to Symantec and follow the removal instructions for Adware by updating my definition files, manually locating all the virus files and deleting them, and deleting the registry files. However there is one virus file that I have never been able to find and delete and I assume this is why the Adware viruses keep coming back. Norton states it is ATPartners.dll, a compressed filed within C:\Documentsandsettings\Home\Localsettings\Temporaryinternetfiles\Content.Ie5\STAZGL67\emCraft1[1].cab I can't locate it further than Temporary Internet Files. I assume this is because it is a compressed file. I can't even find it using Explorer search. And I can't find any info on locating or deleting compressed files. Please HELP I keep going round in circles. Tag: Windows Security Update CD Feb 2004 Tag: 52829

Way to advanced for me to do all of that. Is there a program that when activated it will take them out? What if I did a system/restore? I know I'm looking for easy answers but I don't know what to do.I'm surprised Norton couldn't do anything.Lastly what if I did nothing?

    - Sdhelper.dll Hello everyone! First of all, I know this isn't a forum for specific software questions or support. However, I have looked in the official support forum for this problem and it has only led to further confusion so I'll post here and hope that I don't get flamed. My question is about the new version of Spybot S&D - v1.3 I want to install the new version so I tried to uninstall the old version - v1.2 During the uninstall a message box popped up saying that some components were not removed and could be removed manually. None of the directory files were deleted. When I tried to delete them I got a message saying that the file SDhelper.dll could not be deleted. Well, I can't find the process that's using that file to be able to delete it. I've searched the net and found many entries on this file but haven't found anyhing that tells me how to delete it or what process is using it. Most references were to registry keys. I've been to Net-Integration.net and also searched there but I found some confusing info. I can't post a question there unless I join. I don't want to join if I'm only going to post a single question. Here's the confussing part, one source says you must completely uninstall the previous version. Another source says you don't have to uninstall, the new install will simply overwrite the previos version. Well, which is it? Please don't flame me!
