want to increase PC security - clueless
Hi I'm starting to do business with clients from my home
computer and want to increase PC security and protection.
My internet connection is very slow (have tried different
servers), often seizes up or gets disconnected, and on a
number of those occasions I've received a message "the
port was disconnected by the remote computer". Does this
mean I might already have a bug of some kind in my
computer? If so, how do I get rid of it? I know I have a
mcafee virus scanner when opening email attchments.
I'm a little confused also about whether I need
spyware/virus scanner hardware or software. I'm going to
follow the msn 7 steps for increasing security for home
users but not sure if that would get rid of an existing
bug. Can anyone suggest any product I might need? Afraid
I'm very easily confused on these subjects!
The computer is an IBM thinkpad running windows 98. I'm in
France, but don't know the language well enough to post
this to a french group. Thanks! Tag: cant get rid of worm Tag: 35902

I can't "agree" to download security patches
I have a problem. My mother has just acquired a used
computer with Windows 98. I have been working with it to
get it into shape and I attempted to download all the need
security patches. However, I kept getting a script error,
which I know little about. The problem was that when the
agreement box popped up,it did not allow the agree button
to be pushed. Since I could not agree, I could not
download the patches. Any suggestions? Would it work to
download them on my computer and mail them over? Thank yo
in advance. Tag: cant get rid of worm Tag: 35879

ques about Nachi virus
Evening everyone,
I was reading some posts here and saw that there were a
couple of questions pertaining to this nachi virus. This
is the first that I have seen this mentioned, Can you give
a little info about it? Heck, I'm still getting those
phony "install this patch" from Microsoft and also
supposedly they are coming from yahoo administrators too.
So to see this one being mentioned, I am curious to know
how this one is making its rounds and what kind of
destruction does this one do and so on.
Thank you,

MS patch digital signatures
After deploying SP4 to my Win2k server, all MS patches now
come up with the same "Digital signature not found"
message. All of these patches were downloaded directly
from the MS Download Center (repeatedly - clearing the
browser cache between attempts). To make matters worse,
each one of these patches has a valid digital signature in
teh patch file when right-clicking and selecting
Properties > Digital Signature.
What is transpiring here? What is Windows actually doing
when it checks the digital signature of a file? Was
something changed/regressed with the application of SP4 to
Win2k? Tag: cant get rid of worm Tag: 35813

can I install 2 firewalls for Win XP
I understand that installing two firewalls on the same
system is not recommended as it may create conflict.
Despite this, does anyone know, or has been using two
effective firewalls on the same system running on windows
xp in conjunction with other antiviruses, spy/ad-ware
blockers and other bug guards without problems?? My
system runs on win xp pro and I have 'Tiny' firewall,
Norton antivirus (which I want to replace with Kaspersky
AV), SpyGuard, SpyBlaster, spybot and As-aware also
running on it. I want to add another firewall, possibly
Zonealarm, to run with those for extra security, but I
fear this may cause conflict and system instability. An
MVP's opinion would be appreciated. Tag: cant get rid of worm Tag: 35794

SP4 and Q819696
I have a question regarding the DirectX MIDI File
Vulnerability and Service Pack 4 for windows 2000. My
machine has service pack 4 installed. One of the hotfixes
supposedly covered in SP4 is as shown on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=327194
However on the page for the advisory, here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;819696
microsoft lists the file attributes for a patched
quartz.dll
On my machine with SP4, the attributes of the quartz.dll
are dated earlier than the ones listed on the advisory
page.
So which page is right? The one that says the
vulnerability is covered by SP4 or the one for the actual
patch? Tag: cant get rid of worm Tag: 35777

Continually reported "critical update"
I keep getting a "critical update available" message on my
Win-98 system (Update ID: #823559). It is the only one
listed, as I keep my system updated each time I'm
triggered by a new critical update notification. I
installed it a few days ago, and then (I think) one more
time. On this last occasion, I wrote down the number in
case my suspicions were true that I was getting notified
repeatedly. The notification came up today again.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there "somewhere"
