 - Windows 2000 Security Update (KB837001) I tried downloading a few security updates including KB837001 Security Update for Windows 2000. The download about 6 updates) went fine, but the Installation Process ran for over 4 hours - the KB837001 was the the install being displayed on the Download dialog box. I finally killed it - didn't think this long of an install could be right. Two questions - has anyone else had a problem with this install, and have I caused other problems by killing it? Thanks for any info anyone has!! Jo Tag: error checking and Norton's firewall Tag: 55806

 - who the hell do I believe? I suspect unfair play on my system so I have run several anti spyware/malware progs. The stalwarts tell me that all is ok, (adaware, spybot) but others tell me I have coolweb etc etc, funny thing is many of the lesser known progs all tell me a different story, it is almost as though they have added a potential threat to their free scan, to make one believe that one should buy their product. Am I being unduly cynical? Tag: error checking and Norton's firewall Tag: 55804

 - all email stopped at 10:22 am, seriously read and did not start until now, none came into any email box of mine at all. any to me that is the very meaning of theft. the new webvirus is but part of the problem, i am referring to the one where visiting any website by the thousands now is a sure sign of a virus. losing an untold amount of information today is also a sign that a massive system wide internet breakdown is headed our way. seriously, you can blame either the barnstable police, willis of barnstable housing authority, shane kelly, leonda mahler, anna durkin and or a psychiatrist, janet and or chris morris. all i did was came to this group and asked anyone of you call me, make the landline ring, it didn't. the question was to you, how to keep a nation from losing its self control, bodily self control when faced with the enormisity of the very information about this song and what it means to the 9/11/01 investigation and to the people in this nation, the u. s. a. and around the world. it happened yesterday when i watched a man choke on his own spit when listening to the song while realizing it is what i say it is. it isn't a matter of power display to hurt someone it is a matter of how to keep people from all out rioting and worse my own wife won't even talk with me in here and it is her that i asked to be by my side now despite how we do and do not relate as husband and wife but as two people interested in keeping peace here and it is from here like anyone else it could be kept. we are looking at a serious nationwide internet outage affecting the very core components of inforation technologies that willl bring out economic and emotional ruin for millions. read well stranger in my time, i've come to despise psychiatrists, psychologists for a good reason., i am quite serious about everything ive come to know of those of whom i had to deal with face to face once a week. for me to sit here and tell you that when asked what do i do with myself and respond in complete truth of my jobs etc, only to be told ive got a mental illness to me is an absolute travesty to me, its like being waylaid and nobody around not giving any consideration to the mere possiblity that i wasn't. even to this day although my wife says to my face she dont believe i am, she does turn right around and say opposite i am faced with a serious problem here and im writing here publically to you in hopes that any one of you who is young, open minded and got some time outside of school and or work who will chat with me about some seriously serious subjects on a not a patient to doctor/student level is exactly why i write. this must be done in person here on cape cod and mighty soon too. it is this very fact i write of but i will put some perspective on this first last weekend a young nubile and intelligen albiet drunk young woman knew me on site and literally would not bring up the subject she is studying which is psychology because she knew of what i wrote in here and elsewhere. she literaly said to me "well go to new york" when i told her that i'd like to be in new york but yet i was plainly in my opinion there to chat with her. as if she thought i was not present there at all to some extent. she literally broke down crying for a simple reason and that reason is, i am faced with the fact that this here nation caught quite by suprise was knocked down, bloodied and battered badly september 11, 2001. she was ready to walk away from her boyfriend for she took me and my wife towards my car as if she were to go with us to our home (she never did). my fact is i did create some music that went worldwide by august 30, 2001. it did make it to some seriously connected people who were at the time and are that established within the pentagon as private contractors and now even part of the secret service (and that i was told by a motorist passing by yelling at 60 + mph two weeks ago) this music is like being inside any one of those jets through the span of under 7 minutes from beginning to end. i have yet to seriously analyze this music with anyone aside from my wife and a former friend note for note. yesterday i stunned a man to almost completely changing his demeanor and watching him choke on his own spit when he heard this music and he was a complete stranger. the other facet to all this is that while that music was made, i was being told my wife was with another man at my own home. this music was made adlib, freestyle and due to some of the very actions going on where i was at the time too, they were inspiration. i have been told to my face that i had been tranquilized for 15 years yet until 2000 i was not diagnosed with schizophrenia. to this day i totally dismiss that diagnosis yet each day i bring it up constantly as if i oughta be speaking elsewhere. thursday some children walked up towards myself and there on main street i ended up realizing that i had been making not only those children laugh hysterically but others as well just by being serious and somewhat lighthearted about the history of computers, present time of computers and the future of computers and how the body can heal itself. my wife was totally incensed with the idea that all that was what she had been trying to convince me of for a long time. yet between us, it is i telling her literally, not to be trying to convince me of anything, take care of herself first. our own problems have to be dealt with and between when we first married even to this day the ability to be as only we truly can be is a daily dilemna that is the catalyst for what we do get done. as if our lives could be turned around dramatically if we did live as each other thinks of ourselves to be. i'm left with the thought that it is not mental illness but its a matter of heart. i could go on about every minute detail about myself, her wrongs, my wrongs and the very essence about good and bad parts to our relationship and how to ammend them yet so little gets done. it is that "his opinion, not living it" she knows and vice verca. anyways, the fact about that music, the total power it has just played and easily explained as i have in a seriously done this many a time way "these are the facts" that i am able to do that leaves me with quite the few questions to ask you in person, anyone that will meet with my wife and i in person here in hyannis and soon out of office. it was last week the 9/11 investigations were front page as to the investigations are still in progress and i have yet to read about this song, the story in any newspaper or t. v. myself. i have heard howie carr via his radio show state my name recently but the story was not told. he obviously read some of my online material. then i've not told this story nationwide either and came home to watch a vcr tape. its not just this music, 9/11/01 that is something about psychiatry i do want to chat with you about, its the entire adult industry utilized by psychiatry. believe me, it has in massachusetts hospitals, i was there. in my humble opinion, it the very essense of relating between a married couple, boyfriend - girlfriend, casual date that is each particular reason that built the reasons for 9/11/01. so easy to write all that, a different story living. no doctors office wanted. one too many no direct response emails, they've in my opinion left elsehwhere. i should've been flooded with them since 9/12/01. here is what i've left for the public around the world recently about that song. my name is in the hyannis area verizon phone book, please call and call today. --leonda (i'm coming home)-- august 2001 i'm comin' home, i've been here before it's been a long, long road, traveled many times, times been walking miles trying to find my lady i love her so, dearly so she's got my heart, keeps the child in me my guiding light, she sets, sets me free i'm coming home, today, traveled that walk happy as I could ever be i thank you, with all my heart just where to begin, I know that love will never depart these many oceans are filled with tears Cry for centuries, happiness and fear i think it's time, i bring up my anchor paddle on, to a distant shore, somehow, someway, i'll make it home, what my love will say, I'm countin' on So many times, i've crossed the lords path i might have forgiveness, just from where I'm at now I don't know about you you had your time, you made it through, somehow, someway you might, may find something beyond, that love be so blind may the sand, flow through your fingers and when that crow flies, it'll guide you on somehow, someway i am coming home again, i'm coming home again, to my love, my one true friend i'll make you happy, i know I'll make you cry I'll give you my love, all the time when we're alone, with the spirits who listen and talk we may decide, on our eternal walk someday our child, one or two will know at least your love and what i will put you through under our roof, massive or small, with a fire burning, and as our child crawls we'll sing together, country and blues you lead the way i'll try my best to satisfy you woman leonda i am coming home to you i hear what i refer to as listening to the whine of a jet, i hear the voice of mine potraying what it was like inside those jets, brief moments from each jet from beginning to impact. the only difference between the original audio and now is the volume was turned up from the original audio and that does have the exact same sounds. you think an award for that song oughta be presented? you think it oughta be covered with dance? you think it oughta have any other form of music involved? you think it oughta be rerecorded? as if it is now a weapon against violence? that has been suggested to me and i'm telling you here and now i do not authorize it nor condone it either, not now, not ever. ---june 25, 2004--- i'll tell you now, francis scott key was literally in a battlefield with total violence unlike any other at the time when the star spangled banner was written. my song was created in a small coffee house during *peace* time. this song was in the possession of anyone who decided to download it within 24 hours, August 30, 2001. Janet E. Morris, my wife Leonda's aunt was known for sci - fi fantasy writing and that requires visionary experiences, remember the communicator of Star Trek, now known as the cell phone, Gene Roddenburys creative design? Mrs. Morris and Christopher Morris (some people tbink he looks like the Edge Of U2 and he does play electric guitar) had created "The 40 Minute War" long before Bill Clinton was President. mrs. morris had total access to some of the "deepest" parts of the pentagon prior to 9/11/01 meaning, she was a protege to a former cia deputy director who served president kennedy the cuban missile photos himself. she was raised a few miles from the kennedy compound. every few weeks i read or hear or view stories about 911 inquisitions about what was and what not known ahead of time and in my opinion, the song alone was heard by anyone 'round the world inluding the pentagon long before 9/11 so why so many questions? that is why i called the white house. unless i totally missed the story of the century, it hasn't been in the front pages yet yesterday a man from nyc with a fire department t-shirt on with his child and his wife, he just about melted me with this wet big eyed and blue friendly smile like his wife and child. sorry for the non existant outward response but it was proof positive to me it was heard about at the least. to be quite honest i've not "exploded" in outright grief yet, that day is coming yet for over 2 years it has been a factor amongst many emotions. and btw, to that woman and man out there that dares even think they don't know where i live here in hyannis who do come into this area when my wife leonda and i are going out or even in the same parking lot as him/her, ya, you should've come directly to us without question face to face and introduced yourselves plain and simple. and anyone up here in hyannis from nyc, please come and see us, craigville beach at night is where we usually are and our names leonda and william mahler are in the verizon local phone book. or come here and ring our buzzer, no one after 6 pm please. My "secret" to this song, it's simple, listening to those around me, in the same establishment, not for the exact words straight from their vocal chords but by their actions and with the idea that i'd create a song without any words like type or print in mind or in ear or in view in anyway, not even during the actual creation but by spirit, living spirit alone. I did have a stage time established earlier that day. If you are new to ths story or not, I don't mind repeating it again, just not living the experiences of what it took leading up to and during the creation of the song ever again. A second song, "Got Me Worldwide" was following the song and the entire performances start to finish are safely kept in many places around the world. This version is from my equipment with the small left right radio shack microphone, built more for speech than music and a sony minidisc recorder placed behind me on the floor close to the store front window with traffic close by. this song is about 9/11/01 but it took awhile after 9/11/01 to begin to listen to it with that perspective, from my vantage of knowledge. During that time, it was in the possession of anyone in the world. The scenarios i've yet to hear and see in full myself is inside the jets from audio and video. Yes the imagination does provide but to witness externally is an entirely different vantage point. At least for myself it gives room for acceptance. Leonda was not at the coffee house that night, she was home and not by herself. I've not seen any pictures and or video from that night, August 29, 2001 at the Prodigal Son of Hyannis, MA. I've heard from many a persons my voice was total strength of persona that night, it is full of weakness as well in my opinion. If there is or isn't any similarities to Bruce Springsteen in your opinion, listen to "Drive All Night", and or "Fade Away" both from "The River" and "I'm On Fire" from "Born In The U. S. A.". It is the vocal performance of Springsteen that became a basis for my performance that night and I repeat, not a direct source for words for there are none in any similarity to "Leonda (I'm Coming Home)". The MP3 here is edited yet the song and amplitude are in tact and louder, the original was recorded with recording levels approx 50% of the full available set to manual instead of auto. Sound Forge 5 from (then) Sonic Foundry has been the editor of choice then and now. A new "star spangled banner"? not at all. Believe me, I called the White House last night and spoke with an operator who rang in less than 5 rings, "good evening, white house" for that was my first call ever. There were more pops in that phone call via cell phone that i have yet to count. I am coming to the World Trade Center site for the 1st time ever for July 4th with myself driving my own car (if God has his way). I've heard that all festivities are already settled and that was long before I called the New York Port Authority June 22, 2004. I've got some family that does work within the taxi business, maybe I might just have a easier ride. If you are wondering why this took so long, many a time my imagination sees myself there then and even now. http://www.mahlers.com/leondaimcominghome.mp3 i am coming home again i am coming home again i am coming home to you tower one tower two pentagon pennsylvania http://www.mahlers.com W.

 - Share Experience Posting Hello, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this. I received an email stating "Advisory - A user is attempting to share opinions and experiences about you in our online community. " It then provides a link and explains "Anonymous users post Experience Requests at this website. An Experience Request is simply an indication of a user's interest in sharing the experiences that he or she has had with a particular individual or business. Each Experience Request has one subject (an individual or business), and the subject is identified in the Experience Request."The email is from supportdepartment@sharingexperience.biz. Does anybody know what this is about?! I'm tempted to respond to the posting on the web page but I'm afraid it's a setup of some sort... any ideas would be welcome.

 - Trojan/virus effects For the past two days I tried to get rid of several pesky viruses/trojans that apparently messed up my machine and kept returning on reboot. I'm running XP and turned off System Restore, then rebooted in Safe Mode, then ran my AV program, and deleted the "Trojano" worm and a few other viruses, like the "DyfucDldr" variety. I think I'm now virus, trojan, worm, and adware-free, but the damage seems to have been done: First, I can't open programs from my desktop, like IE or Ad-Aware, or Real Audio. The system just hangs and the hourglass icon stares at me. CTL-ALT-DEL doesn't work...it either freezes the computer or I get an error message saying there is something wrong with the program and asking me to send a report to Microsoft. Second, there is no audio on the computer anymore. The files for all of the Windows sounds are missing -- there is no C:/WINDOWS/MEDIA folder anymore. Instead, in Control Panel, the icons for each sound show a path that begins with "%System Root%" and I get a message that the file can't be located. The same is true of all the other program sounds, for Real Audio, my anti-virus alerts, etc. (I checked and nothing is muted.) Finally, I noticed the Startup list after running "msconfig" shows a couple strange ".exe" files, for example, "Nye42.exe". This box is checked like all the others, and it says the location is in the C:/Windows folder, but I did a search for it and there is no such file found on my computer. I unchecked this from the Startup list, but the two problems noted above still exist. I'm afraid whatever got me really got me good and I have no idea how to recover from this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've done a web search (on my other computer) and reviewed the bulletin board threads. I think I've done everything I've read to get rid of the nasties, I just don't know how to restore the system to an operational mode. I am thinking of restoring the "System Restore" function and going back a month or so before I got whacked to do a System Restore at that point. Hopefully that will restore the sounds and functionality. It may also restore the viruses, but I may be able to delete them this time before they do permanent damage. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on what I can do or whether my plan even makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help. Tag: error checking and Norton's firewall Tag: 55745

 - UPDATE: Internet Attack Slowing Down SOURCE: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml? articleID=22102178 A major Internet attack that installs hacker tools on users' systems is subsiding, security experts say. But more copycat attacks are possible in the days ahead. By George V. Hulme A widespread attack that targeted major E-commerce sites and secretly planted hacker tools on the computers of Internet surfers is subsiding, security experts say. Security experts estimate that thousands of Web sites were compromised in the past week. The attack, which may have begun as early as Sunday, didn't attract much attention until late Thursday evening when it was identified by Internet security firms. Most of the Web sites known to have been infected have been cleaned, security analysts say. Also, Internet service providers have blocked access to, or "black- holed," the Russian server that was planting the hacker tools on user PCs. Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering for Internet security firm Symantec Corp., says Web sites running Microsoft's Internet Information Services software version 5.0 were attacked and infected with a malicious JavaScript application. When Web surfers visited affected sites, their computers were subsequently infected through multiple vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. Once a Web surfer's system was attacked by the malicious JavaScript application, the surfer's computer was connected to a server located in Russia and infected with hacker tools such as backdoors and keystroke loggers, which could be used to take control of the user's system or steal confidential information. While patches are available for most of the Internet Explorer vulnerabilities used in the attack, no patch is available for one of the flaws, commonly known as the ADODB vulnerability. It's still unclear how the attackers managed to successfully compromise Web servers running Microsoft's IIS software, security experts say. "It's something we're looking into," Huger says. It's possible, but unlikely, that systems running Microsoft IIS 5.0 software could have been attacked by a "zero-day" vulnerability, which is a new software flaw that's unknown and unpatched by software vendors, says Marcus Sachs, director, of The SANS Institute's Internet Storm Center. "That's the worst-case scenario," he says. Other possibilities include Web servers that administrators believed to have been patched but were not, or Web servers that could have been attacked through vulnerabilities unrelated to IIS 5.0. Security experts warn that future attacks are possible. "Others may attempt copycat attacks, especially if there is a zero-day attack in IIS," Sachs says. Major antivirus companies have updated their software to spot the malicious code downloaded to end-user systems in this attack. Microsoft is urging Web-site operators running Windows 2000 Server and IIS to apply a patch found in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011. Microsoft has published a Web site with more information about this attack and the IIS and Internet Explorer vulnerabilities; it's located at www.microsoft.com/security/incident/download_ject.mspx.

 - Internet virus may target financial data Last Updated Fri, 25 Jun 2004 15:41:58 NEW YORK - Security experts are tracking a mysterious new internet virus that may help hackers steal personal data, including credit card information. The user's computer is infected with malicious code placed on normally trustworthy websites that use Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS). The infection is not substantially interfering with internet traffic, but there are concerns of it spreading because work is still under way to isolate the problem and find defences against it. Some experts suggest hackers are actually loading computers with software that allows pop-up ads and use the infected machine to spread unsolicited e-mail. The virus is being spread by hundreds, and possibly thousands, of infected websites. The "malware" code redirects browsers to Russian-based web servers. The infection appears to take advantage of three separate flaws in Microsoft products. Microsoft says it patched two of those flaws in April, but the company has not had time to fix the third problem. Experts recommend users update the antivirus software on their computers to immunize them against infected sites. Windows users should also turn up security settings on Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers to the highest levels.

 - PC Users Warned of Infected Web Sites By Brian Krebs washingtonpost.com Staff Writer Friday, June 25, 2004; 3:30 PM Computer security experts and the federal government are warning Internet users to take extra precautions when browsing the Web after an Internet attack seeded Web sites with programs that hackers can use to steal personal information. The attack is more dangerous than most, according to the government's US-CERT cybersecurity center, because it affects even computers that are running updated antivirus and firewall software. Infection is possible just by visiting affected Web sites, according to US-CERT, a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The attackers, whose identities are unknown, targeted a flaw in Web sites powered by Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS). The sites hit by the attack were programmed to redirect the Explorer browser to another Web site that contains code that hackers use to record what people type on their keyboards -- including data such as passwords, credit card and Social Security numbers. The code then e-mails that information back to the attackers. Computers that run Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers are vulnerable to infection, according to US-CERT. The CERT alert said Internet Explorer users can protect themselves by turning off the "javascript" function in their browsers. Javascript is a computer language often used in building Web sites. The attack takes advantage of two recently discovered security flaws in Internet Explorer. Microsoft released a patch in April to fix one of the security holes; the company is still working on a patch for the other flaw, which security researchers publicly detailed less than two weeks ago. CERT recommends that Internet Explorer users consider different browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Communicator or Opera. For people who continue to use Internet Explorer, CERT and Microsoft recommend setting the browser's security setting to "high." Among the several Web sites hit were kbb.com, the Internet address of the Kelley Blue Book automobile pricing guide, and MinervaHealth, a health care financing company based in Jackson, Wyo. Robyn Eckard, a spokeswoman for the Irvine, Calif.-based Kelley Blue Book, said the company learned about the problem late Wednesday after Web site visitors said their antivirus software tipped them off to the code. Eckard said Kelley Blue Book removed the malicious code from its site by late Thursday afternoon. Jennifer Scharff, vice president of marketing for the company MinervaHealth, said some of the company's clients reported the problem on Thursday. The company has since fixed its site, she said. Scharff said no more than 50 visitors browsed the Web site during the time it was serving up the hostile code. In addition, at least one auction page on the eBay online auction site contained a photograph that links to an infected Web site, said Johannes Ullrich, chief technology officer for the Bethesda, Md.-based SANS Institute's Internet Storm Center. Ken Dunham, malicious code manager for Reston, Va.-based security company iDefense, said the attack bears the trademark signatures of the Hangup Group, a Russian hacker organization thought to be responsible for unleashing the recent "Korgo" worms. Korgo worms allow hackers to read what people are typing on their computers and scours infected PCs for other financial information. According to SANS, most large Internet service providers stopped forwarding Internet traffic to the Russian Web site that hosts the "keylogging" software. FBI spokesman Joe Parris declined to say whether the agency is investigating this particular attack. But Parris said hackers commonly use similar Trojan horse techniques. "We work closely with Microsoft in investigating matters of this type and always follow up on any information provided by industry," he said. Dunham and other security experts said they expect this kind of attack to become more widespread in coming weeks and months. "These guys have the tools, techniques and motivation to launch highly sophisticated attacks that are very difficult for consumers to protect themselves against," he said. "Whoever is responsible has just seen how well this attack works, and other (hacker groups) are almost surely going to take notice." Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager at Microsoft, said the company does not believe the attack is widespread. "Nonetheless, we view this is a very real threat, with serious significance in terms of the potential impact on our customers," he said. Toulouse said the company is gathering information on the attack and will hand it over to the FBI. Security experts said it is not yet clear which Microsoft vulnerability the attackers used to commandeer the Web sites. Ullrich said the culprit is a flaw in the way IIS processes secure login pages for Web sites that require users to enter a username and password. Microsoft released a patch for that flaw in April in a massive bundle of security fixes. Toulouse said that the proprietors for the majority of sites affected by the attack failed to install the patches.

 - THANX 4 NOTHIN MICROISSOFT Web Virus May Be Stealing Financial Data Jun 25, 1:52 PM (ET) By ANICK JESDANUN NEW YORK (AP) - A mysterious Internet virus being spread Friday by hundreds and possibly thousands of infected Web sites may be aimed at stealing credit card and other valuable information, security experts warned. The infection appears to take advantage of three separate flaws with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) products. Microsoft said software updates to fix two of them had been released in April, BUT THE THIRD FLAW WAS NEWLY DISCOVERED AND HAD NO PATCH TO FIX IT YET. Experts said the infection, detected by Microsoft on Thursday, was unusually broad but wasn't substantially interfering with Internet traffic. Security experts at Microsoft and elsewhere worked Friday to pin down how the infection spreads across Web sites. It appears to target at least one recent version of Microsoft software for operating Web sites - called Internet Information Server. The infection makes subtle changes to the Web site so visitors get a piece of code that's designed to retrieve from a Russian Web site software that records a person's keystrokes and can send data back, experts say. Such software "Trojan horses" are routinely used to fish for credit card numbers, bank accounts, passwords and the like. Now that the code is out, other hackers are likely to adapt it to distribute software for spamming and for launching broad Internet attacks against popular Web sites, said Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering at security company Symantec Corp. (SYMC) "Users should be aware that any Web site, even those that may be trusted by the user, may be affected by this activity and thus contain potentially malicious code," the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team warned in an Internet alert. Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager at Microsoft, recommended that computer owners obtain the latest security updates for Microsoft products and their anti- virus and firewall programs. Because one flaw has yet to be fixed, he said, users should also turn up security settings on Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers to the highest levels. Security experts noted that users can avoid the exploit by using alternative browsers such as Mozilla and Opera. Users could also turn off the "Javascript" feature on their Microsoft browsers, though doing so cripple functions on some sites. The infection does not affect Macintosh versions of Internet Explorer.

I have noticed that as from about 2 wks ago Norton is no longer scanning my email either (Norton 2003 in my case). It says it IS scanning the email but it appears to be telling porkies because the little scan window no longer shows and for the first time in ages I have started receiving attachments from people I don't know (I can't be sure they're viruses because I am not opening them to find out, but it is odd). I've even tried completely re-installing Norton but the situation remains unchanged. The only thing I changed recently which might conceivably have an impact is that I updated my ZoneAlarm firewall to the latest version. This version monitors suspicious email code itself (although not viruses) AND monitors the AV software to make sure it is behaving itself and is up to date. Could this be causing some sort of invisible conflict? LiveUpdate still works and complete system scans appear to show the system remains uninfected. Adaware has done it's customary spring clean of dodgy data miners etc but basically also drawn a blank on anything seriously amiss. . Tag: error checking and Norton's firewall Tag: 55634

S R still not working.So,I decided to do the same with NF.Still nothing...besides ,I got problems with checkdisk ,It wasn't checking HD with XP Pro.So,I ran FDISK to clean the partition and then a clean reinstall of XP PRO wich ran good 'till I install ZONE ALARM (FREE UPDATED VERSION),and I created a restore point.This time Sistem Restore worked but,CHECKDISK DOEN'T.So ,FIREWALL Z Alarm was the problem with checkdisk.But ,I gettin' sick and tired to track those things ,you know?
Gotta any idea?
Thank
Osny
