Now if I close the web page and come back to it , I'm then able to click on a link, and its not all links that I'm unable to see, just some I went to a link here on microsofts web page (security) to check for sasser worm. It said I wasn't enfected what I'm curious about is 1: Does my internet provider also provide me with a firewall and 2: should I, and can I, without making it impossible to navigate the internet, enable my Xp firewall for added protection. I'm also wondering if i should download this sasser patch everybodys talking about even though I don' have the worm yet I've got the latest AVG control center, and it updates regularly and my AVG runs every night just like clockwork In reference to my computer acting up.

 - XP Firewall I've been using the McAfee Personal Firewall since I bought my pc about a year and a half ago. I was also running McAfee Viruscan up until this past weekend but decided to get Norton (again) since it seems to run better on my pc. I just uninstalled the firewall and enabled the XP firewall. Is the XP firewall any good? Will I get the same (or good enough) protection from it that I was getting from McAfee? Now I know with McAfee and other firewalls you can change the programs that have access to the "outside world", which came in handy every now and then. Is it possible to view and change the programs or settings with the XP firewall? I DID run a hacker test from the Norton website and it said that I was protected from all threats but I'm still kinda "iffy". My pc is just used at home, not for anything important but playing blackjack, paying bills, reservations, dirty pictures... the basic home user stuff. I just wanna make sure that I'm safe.

 - abnormal traffic going out after applying the windows update and office update Hi our PCs using win2000 pro w/sp4 and office xp w/sp3. Recently, on 20 April and 3 May, we applied the windows updates and office xp updates over the web. AFter that we discovered abnormal traffic sent out every 10 minutes from the PCs which were applied the updates. This 10 minutes seems hardened on somewhere and cannot be changed even I set the clock of the PC. The abnormal traffic started to sent out 10 minutes after the PC start up and continue to sent until the PCs was shutdown. This traffic trying to go to many different IP addresses and are all go to 129.x.x.x network. I have used symantec antivirus 7.5.1 with latest virus definition (5/5/2004)to scan those PCs but no virsu was found. Below is a traffic denied by the firewall: cifs[623378450]: access denied for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to 129.133.164.224 [default rule] [no rules found] Statistics: duration=0.48 id=4lh98 srcif=Vpn3 src=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/1040 svsrc=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy dstif=Vpn4 dst=129.133.164.224/139 proto=cifs (Access denied) some of the destination site: 129.133.164.224 129.77.42.8 129.66.122.232 129.101.12.104 129.61.184.104 129.56.98.200 129.64.177.136 129.63.190.8 129.67.94.232 129.62.145.40 129.62.216.72 129.53.206.8 some-darbishire.some.ox.ac.uk ingw129-37-64-40.ny.us.prserv.net stu0073.keble.ox.ac.uk micron.ece.northwestern.edu Wireless.campus.uidaho.edu ath102311.utep.edu v1006ash208.sju.edu A235168.N1.Vanderbilt.Edu Any expert can help me to solve the problem?

 - need help please I've noticed lately that my computer has been acting strange. It seems almost as if someone else is controling my computer in the backgroud. For example after a few minutes of inactivity my screen saver will come on, and a few minutes later the screen saver will stop and the main desktop screen comes back on. It doesn't make scence for this to occure since no one is working at the computer. I scanned for computer viruses with Norton Antivirus 2002 and found none. It even has the newest virus definitions and updates installed. I also scanned my computer for spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy and found nothing. It too was up to date. I have Windows XP firewall enabled along with Norton's Personal Firewall. Any suggestions as to what could be causing my screen saver to stop and the main desktop screen to come back on for no reason? Please email me. flowmaster85@charter.net Tag: Windows update error Tag: 52004

 - AVOID THESE LIKE THE PLAGUE! If you need to protect your computer from malware (unwanted pop-ups from software installed on your computer, browser/homepage hijackings, dialers, keyloggers, etc.), then please get Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy and some others; they are REPUTABLE! However, do NOT get the following; they are programs that SAY they will protect you, but have been found by various websites/individuals to actually HARM your computer! Notice some have similar names to the REPUTABLE programs like the fantastic Ad-Aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, etc. So...

My suggestion: avoid XP Antispy for now to be on the safe side! You never know which one you are getting! If anyone else has anything to add to the list, feel free but make sure it deserves the "recognition" (in other words, don't put it here because you "don't like it"; put it here because a reputable researcher found it to be bad). And please, send this list to all your friends/co-workers so the word spreads about these programs that will do NOTHING but harm your computer and betray your trust.

 - Possible security threat - Passport and Sympatico.ca users If you receive the following email, you may be at risk from a malicious attack if you follow the instructions contained within. Can anyone verify the validity of this email?: --------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Microsoft .NET Passport [mailto:PPMSVCMG@PASSPORT.NET] Sent: May 5, 2004 12:15 AM To: Subject: Important message from Microsoft .NET Passport - action required Hello : This is an important message from Microsoft concerning the Microsoft .NET Passport account associated with your sympatico.ca e-mail address. Both Microsoft and Bell Canada are committed to simplifying your online experience. Therefore we are taking efforts to ensure that active Bell Sympatico Internet customers can continue to use the .NET Passport that is associated with their sympatico.ca e-mail address. Since there is a Passport account associated to your Sympatico e-mail address, we ask that you please verify that you are the user of the Passport account and that you give consent to Bell Canada to manage your Microsoft .NET Passport account. It's a quick and easy process to verify your account. Instructions on how to verify your account are below, as well as some important questions and answers. To verify your Passport account: 1. In your Web browser, type passport.net in the Address bar and press Enter. 2. On the Passport home page, click the Sign In button, and sign in to your Passport account. 3. Follow the instructions to verify your e-mail address. If you did not register the Passport using this e-mail address, or if you do not agree to give Bell Canada consent to manage your Passport account, take no action, and we will disable the Passport account 20 days from the date this message was sent. This will have no affect on your Sympatico subscription or sympatico.ca e-mail address. To request additional help from Passport Customer Support, click http://register.passport.net/contactus.srf?LC=1033. Important Questions and Answers What is a .NET Passport account? Microsoft .NET Passport is a service that enables you to sign in to multiple services, such as MSN Messenger or Hotmail, with a single e-mail address and password. For more information, visit the Passport home page at http://www.passport.net. I don't have a Passport account. Why am I seeing this message? Another person may have created a Passport account with your current sympatico.ca e-mail address (such as a family member, or an individual who had the e-mail address before you). This does not mean that the user has access to your e-mail messages or any other personal information - it simply means that they have used the e- mail address as a sign-in name for their Passport account. If this is the case, you can ignore this e-mail message and do nothing, and 20 days from the date this message was sent, we will disable the user from using your e-mail address as their Passport sign-in name. What does it mean to give consent to Bell Canada to manage my sympatico.ca .NET Passport? As the owner of the sympatico.ca domain, Bell Canada assigns sympatico.ca e-mail addresses. In addition, sympatico.ca is now a 'sponsored domain' which is associated with a special kind of .NET Passport where Bell Canada will ensure only Bell Sympatico Internet customers can obtain sympatico.ca .NET Passports. What happens if I don't verify my e-mail address or give Sympatico consent to manage my Passport account? After 20 days from the date this e-mail message was sent, if you have not yet verified your e-mail address with Passport, you will no longer be able to sign in to any Passport participating site until you change the e-mail address in your Passport account. In addition, you will lose data associated with your Passport sign-in e-mail address, such as your MSN Messenger contact list. No matter what your decision is, your existing Sympatico subscription and e-mail account will not be affected. Only your Passport account will be affected. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Passport is committed to protecting your privacy. We encourage you to review the Passport privacy statement at: http://www.passport.net/privacypolicy.asp To request additional help from Passport Customer Support, click http://register.passport.net/contactus.srf?LC=1033 Please do not reply to this message; it was sent from an unmonitored e-mail address and we are unable to respond to any replies.

This would mean that I am running OE6 with IE version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633. Do either of these versions have flaws that make them incompatible?

Microsoft generally releases security patches on the second Tuesday of more or less every month. 3) Once you're infected, you may need to download and run a free Sasser virus removal tool such as the Stinger tool from www.McAfee.com or the free tool from http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp 4) You're not running a firewall, or your firewall isn't protecting you. Running a firewall would have protected you from this. Free firewall software is available from www.kerio.com, www.zonealarm.com and/or www.sygate.com 5) You need to do ALL of these things, or you won't have much success.

 - Accesing data from a slaved hard drive Hi We have a little problem - a customer's system no longer boots up and he needs the data from it (No backups- of course). We are trying to put it onto another system as a slave drive (like with 95/98/ME) but windows will not allow access -displays 'Access Denied' when you try and open the customers personal data. My question is - is there any way round this? Or is the data no effectivly lost. (Just for info - the HDD and data is fine, it just won't boot!)

 - Office/Active Directory Compatibility? I run a network with 40 machines, at the moment we have an older version of office (2000) running on a Win 2000 server driven network and a mixture of 2000 and XP workstations. Although the active directory lets me set options on win explorer to limit access to files and folders the settings do not apply to the explorer plug-in built into office. This allows staff to browse other area of the netwok wihout permissions. If I upgrade to office 2003 will there be a better integration with active directory, or are there any other ways of securing the office explorer?

When I make a request, from the PIX console, to enroll a certificate, it is rejected by the CA with this message: denied by policy module I had read that there is a different configuration with "SCEP-Add on" in a CA Enterprise. I need to kno which are the steps needed to configure SCEP-Add on in a CA Enterprise. The "SCEP-Add on" release note tells that these steps are described in Windows 2003 Resource Kit Documentation, but i didn't found them Thanks in advanc Paolo Tag: Windows update error Tag: 51891

 - SpywareBlaster Hello everyone. I have Ad-Aware (can't recommend this enough) and the free version is great at scanning for spyware/malware and getting rid of some of them AFTER the fact, but I want to get something that can stop from getting them BEFORE they even have a chance to get on my computer. I've been doing my "research" and homework online about various programs like this and I read about SpywareBlaster (by JavaCool). If someone can recommend which is the best, I'd appreciate it. Again, I have noticed SpywareBlaster but I want one or more opinions to make a final decision. I did this before I got any anti-spyware programs as well and came up with Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and some others, but based on "word of mouth," I chose Ad-Aware and I've never been happier. Hopefully, you guys can help me in making the final decision regarding programs that protects one in real time against spyware. Thanks in advance! Tag: Windows update error Tag: 51886

This update details additional workaround steps which customers can take to protect against the LSASS vulnerability (CAN-2003-0533). This is the vulnerability which is exploited by the Sasser worm and its variants. Customers who have not yet deployed the security update for MS04-011 can evaluate implementing this new workaround to protect against the Sasser worm and its variants. - In addition, Microsoft has updated the cleanup tool for W32.Sasser.worm to remove the C and D variants of the Sasser worm. The Sasser removal tool now removes Sasser A, B, C and D. The updated removal tool is located at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=76C6DE7E-1B6B-4FC3-90D4-9FA42D14CC17&displaylang=en and is documented in Knowledge Base article KB841720 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;841720. What is this alert? - Microsoft has been made aware of a worm identified as "W32.Sasser.worm" and it is currently circulating on the Internet. The worm exploits the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) vulnerability fixed in Microsoft Security Update MS04-011 on April 13, 2004. - Microsoft encourages customers to protect themselves against this worm by installing Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011 <www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-011.mspx> immediately. - Customers who have enabled the Windows XP Firewall are protected from the vector this worm attacks, which is TCP Port 139. Most third party firewalls also block this attack vector by default. If you have any questions regarding the security updates or its implementation after reading the above listed bulletin you should contact Product Support Services in the United States at 1-866-PCSafety (1-866-727-2338).

Advise checking the system time/date first of all. Also,
see if it gives an error number (normally does, if no
description) and paste that back here. At what point
during the windows update process does this happen? While
scanning for updates?
