    - Automatic Update off in XP SP2 I keep getting balloon messages telling me that "Automatic Update" is off on starting up XP SP2. Well I want it off, as I wish to do manual updates to approve what is being installed. I am a very competent programmer - no viruses, no trojan horses, no worms, no spyware on my PC. But I am tired of these balloon messages - how do I disable the unnecessary reminders? Registry setting? Thanks Stephen Howe Tag: emails Tag: 62838

    - Security Center mis-displaying firewall status I'm operating under XP Pro w/SP2. When I turn the firewall off (temporarily), the Security Center continues to show that it's on. I know it's off, because I ran the routine from the command prompt that displays firewall status. What could be causing the Security Center to "think" that it's on and not display the warning icon in the system tray that I remember seeing when the status display was working properly?

    - Force PW change with notice I'm looking for a way to force individual user's passwords to expire ahead of schedule in a manner consistent with the normal expiration according to the domain/ local security polices. Does anyone know of an existing script or tool that can do this? If not, where can I find the current value of a user's remaining days until password expires? The point is initially some users do no change their passwords or they have shared them with others. I would like to force an expiration that gives them the standard notice before the expiration occurs, allowing them to change their passwords on their own. Tag: emails Tag: 62793

    - keeping kids off computer many thanks to all those who suggested disciplinary measures, as if I hadn't thought of that myself (this child is No. 4 of 6, we have some experience with this, folks.) I guess I should have mentioned that the kid in question is 17 years old, is close to 6 feet tall and weighs almost 200 lbs. We have already suspended car privileges for him, a brand-new driver, who was indeed upset by that but apparently not upset enough. Fortunately he is not being malicious about it (hasn't done any damage to computer) he just wants to "show us." Tag: emails Tag: 62778

    - Locking out proxy in IE How do I create a group policy so that users in the USERS group cannot change their proxy settings? Also, I need to create a default lock-out of those settings, because new users log in through AD every day, and I want them to automatically be locked out of the internet upon first logon. We cannot, however, lock out users in the Administrators group because we need IE for updating software. I have found settings to modify in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER reg, but that only applies to the user whos logged in. The key here is that new users log in all of the time, and I need those lock-outs in place automatically while still letting the administrator group log into and change the proxy settings. Please help! Tag: emails Tag: 62769

    - BITS: Am I being spied? I am running a Windows XP desktop client on a novel and Windows 2000 network. I one day noticed my hard drive suddenly get very busy while I was idle. I got curious about it and did a search on files that had changed during the day and found out that at the time of the hard disk activity, BITS (Background Intelligent Tranfser Servcice) had transfered a 110 MB file somewhere. From what I have learned, BITS is an operationg system utility that is used to set up file transfers by administrators. This leads me to wonder if somone is acquiring information from my system and transfering it to themselves, or is it merely a routine function of the operating system. Tag: emails Tag: 62764

    - Program won't install-download disappears I am working on a friend's computer. He had a lot of viruses (a whole lot) that I have gotten rid of. There is one virus/trojan that I can't find, though. It is not reported by his AV. An example of the symptoms follow (this has happened numerous times). I tried to install a new program after downloading it from a website (this site is a reputable one). The install starts, gets to the first or second installation screen, then stops and installation stops (all install screens disappear). I go to the downloaded file, to start install again and the file is gone from the folder. It's nowhere to be found. I go to the 'Task Manager', find what looks to be suspicious files running, and stop them. I have even deleted these files/programs numerous times but they keep getting reinstalled. Also, I stop any suspicious files that are in the auto-start file. After I restart, after stopping/deleting the suspicious files, I download the program that I originally wanted to install again and installation goes fine. The program works fine and all is rosy (until I return later). But when I come back to see my friend a couple of weeks later, the above routine starts again. It's like the offending virus/program has reinstalled itself and is again doing whatever it is doing. Has anyone had similar experiences of this kind? Or is anyone familiar with this scenario? Thanks for any help. Tag: emails Tag: 62725

    - Scanning schedule? Is there a recommended schedule for scanning a PC for viruses/trojans/malware/etc.? I use most of the programs suggested in this newsgroup (Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, WinPatrol, CW Shredder, etc.), plus I have active anti-virus and firewall in place. I run each of the scans daily, and I always seem to find something lurking. At times this seems like paranoia, but I'm trying to prevent greater problems. Is daily too often?

    - Sp2 problems(that MS won't solve), and solution to Restore Point sp2 problem; On many newgroups I have seen that Sp2 caused Restore Point problems. Sp2 install had turned off "Task Scheduler Service". However, after many emails, chat sessions, etc. with MS they never were able solve the Outlook Express problem - after sp2: OE option "Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail" has disappeared. OE crashes when I open attachments, cannot edit email messages. Now I know that Sp2 has some serious bugs. I much regret ever having installed it. All it did was mess up my computer and waste alot of my time. Microsoft should not have released this CD until the bugs were fixed. I get the feeling that I have been used to "test" this product for Microsoft so they can receive free testing. Even after uninstalling Sp2 my Outlook Express was not fixed, and by then the restore point that I had set before install of Sp2 was gone. MS gave up trying to fix the problem; probably does not want to pay an American expert to resolve the problem. Microsoft owes me something for misery, time, and a now dehabilitated 'Outlook Express' program. Tag: emails Tag: 62705

Most e-mail viruses these days spoof the sender - spammers often do the
same. So *you* get the nondeliverable message or "you've sent us a virus"
message, although it isn't you. If your computer is up to date on antivirus
software (current generation stuff, updated regularly, running resident),
you've got Windows patched with all critical updates, and are behind a
firewall, you're probably in good shape - just delete the messages.
