    - 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.

    - Virus? Started having strange sound bytes like whistles,voices,snippets of songs, ran a virus scan and had several files infected with sbworm,but they were cleaned or deleted. The sounds remain- don't know if they were connected but I'm manually scanning file and haven't found anything yet. Anyone heard of a virus that leaves behind annoying sound bytes constantly. Its preventing from using the video editing features because of the sounds ending up on the audio tracks. Also, in case someone is not aware if you receive an e-mail from Insta-kiss(or something similar) don't open , an employee's online identiy info including passwords were lifted , and I recently received an email from that sender but deleted it.

    - THE BEST KEPT SECRETS OF THE COMPUTER UNDERGROUND Remember, you heard this from me first. Installing a backdoor for future and continued access to your computer system is simple once a computer system is compromised. Here are the "Malicious Hackers Best Kept Secrets"! They install a Trojan Horse which disables your anti-virus and firewall protection; also, they install a second set of their own hidden firewall application(s) to protect their Virtual Private Network(s). The point that I am trying to make is this, you can check your system for a Backdoor, Trojan Horse, Virus, or Worm until your blue in the face, you wouldn?t find any. The hackers own firewall application(s) can be installed on your hard drive in a hidden folder and the only way you would know it?s there is by going to your Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Show All Files and Folders (Windows ME and earlier). Windows keeps files and folders hidden by default so you don?t make changes to their important files. You need to View all Files and Folders on your computer to reveal what malicious hackers have installed without your knowledge. This will open your eyes and show you all the files and software applications now sitting on your hard drive. If you want to learn more about computer security, if you?re a beginner, one avenue is to read-up on configuring your mail and browsing applications. Google and Yahoo also have Newsgroups and message boards pertaining to the aforementioned. If utilizing a Windows platform, do some reading on configuring your Windows Internet Options both Internet and Local Settings. Also, spend time learning what applications in Windows are running and on what port they run on.

    - SUS -- is it really this lacking? Hi ther I've deployed SUS. That bit's all fine and working well (I think) The problem is, I only think it is. As all the documentation says, I need to verify that the patch management is happening on all my machines I'm fully aware of tools like MBSA, MBSACLI, hfnetchk, etc. They all have one problem. They are built as network scanners and a machine that is turned off at the time you run the scan will not be scanned I would like to be able to run MBSA on each machine at startup or when a user logs in. This would ensure that machines are scanned regularly. If I relied on regular scanning from my workstation, I would not scan any machine that boots up only in the evening. Also, laptops that come on site for only a few hours a month can be scanned as well. In this scenario, the very machines that present the greatest risk to a business are the ones that don't get scanned Back to running MBSACLI on bootup or login -- I can't! MBSA only runs with administrative rights! What's more, if I use a computer startup script in group policy, the process runs under the system account and can't attach to the network to get the mssecure.xml file or to connect to SUS Am I the only one who thinks this is a severe shortcoming? Bigger environments can afford SMS (both the product cost and the skills required to administer it). In a 250-user environment this just isn't going to happen. Tag: ? different type of format?

    - why they keep coming back? Hi, I use ad-aware 6 and also like to use the online scanner Pestscan simultaneously-They dont always find the same spyware but I'd guess they do OK. Here's is my concern. I got online and scanned with PS and then AAW. Cleaned out all they detected. Then I went to this NGroup & read some>then to see updates at windows>then to check my mail at yahoo>then did a housecall virus scan (pc was virus free>I did not go to anymore websites. So why is it when I scanned again with PS, it found "counterhit click (or something like that)& 207{1} txt in my cookies in the "c" drive.MY QUESTION: does this spyware just creep in because it already knows my IP address and whe Im online, it takes advantage of this- I'd like to understand more about this. please help Tag: ? different type of format?

    - Blocking local users from using Messenger Service Heres the scenario: Recently we have had a group of users using Messenger Service to distribute messeges etc. I have since disabled the service through control pannel --> services. How do I prevent them from simply going back into control pannel --> services and re-enabling the service? The trouble is that they need to have the profile set as power users so that it can run certain programs. All I want to do is disable their access to the contol pannel, but keep them as power users. Can this be done? If so... how? Many thanks, Tag: ? different type of format? Tag: 41915

    - passport .net Installing a new computer for my 11 year old son, set him up for Passport .net before reading the kids passport post completely. Have spent the last hour looking for how to uninstall passport .net and can't find any instructions ANYWHERE. I want this thing off my son's machine because it will tell people how old he is and where he lives, or so it says. If anyone can tell me how to do it I would be most grateful. Imagine Microsoft setting up this service without an obvious uninstall-- it is shameful. Tag: ? different type of format? Tag: 41913

    - My browser is being hijacked Every time I open IE Explorer, I get redirected to zestyfind. I can't get rid of it. I've used spyware removal, but it comes back up. I've tried deleting any files associated with it as well, but it still comes up. Every time I do a search, or load a favorite, I am redirected to a place called UCSearch. I am very frustrated, as I have tried everything I know to get this off my system, but it keeps coming back. I also installed the latest IE service\security pack, to no avail. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Tag: ? different type of format? Tag: 41906

    - Alexa Data Miner Ad-Aware scan picks up Alexa as a Register Key and "Windows" as a Registry value. Should I Quarantine or Remove either or both of these? I seem to remember reading someplace that Microsoft (or Windows) included Alexa intentionally. My last scan picked up 54 new Suspect Files in Temp. - is that normal or unusual? I find the Ad-Aware User Guide to be pretty heavy. Just leaving it on Default, but the scan takes quite awhile, deep scanning all of my hard drive. Advice?? Tag: ? different type of format?

    - A "secure" Guest account for ISA server Humor me on this, please. I know it's a stupid question. Given: a)the Guest account has been renamed b)the Guest account's password is blank c)the only right the Guest account needs is "access this computer from the network", but it doesn't need file or print access d)this is a Windows 2000 member server in an NT4 domain (AD to be implemented next year) How would you go about "securing" the server? I'm thinking explicit denies on various registry keys and system files. The problem is this: management wants to deploy an interior anonymous proxy server, but they want to know who uses it to go where. Probably 75% of the users will be from trusted domains. It is up to the untrusted domains as to how they will prevent "their" users from using "our" proxy (yes, it's a political nightmare). The only way around this that I can see (without an ISA everyone/everywhere anonymous rule, which is enforced before authentication) is a Guest account with a blank password. This worked well on Proxy 2.0 because it would log PROXYSERVER\UNTRUSTEDDOMAINUSER whenever someone used the Guest account. ISA unfortunately logs ISASERVER\GUESTACCOUNT, but I can live with that. The ISA server sits behind a PIX so it's not directly exposed to the Internet. It will support Web Proxy and Firewall clients, but not SecureNAT clients. REGARDLESS OF THE UNDENIABLE FACT THAT ENABLING "GUEST" WITH A BLANK PASSWORD IS A BAD IDEA, how would you go about locking it down as much as possible but retaining ISA functionality?

    - IE Problem The following link: http://dino-soft.org/security/newurlhole.html appears in the alt.comp.anti-virus NG (DANGEROUS new internet security hole Sugien). Example 5 was enough to get me to change browsers. Now using Opera. There's a brew-hah-hah going on about not crediting the origin of this proof-of-concept (POC) test, but that should not detract from the seriousness of this security hole. For the average IE user, it is not enough to practice so called safe-hex in order to prevent ramifications of this security hole from happening. Although reports of the true link showing up for a short time in the status bar, only Opera had you go through a pop up window showing the true server, which you had to OK before being redirected. I'm not happy about changing browsers as I don't like going through learning curves, but not being able to trust a URL is simply unacceptable. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave McAuliffe Central Mass.
