    - Is Microsoft re-thinking .Net security I need some considered comment from anyone in the know to save my career and stop my Company making flawed decisions. My Company currently runs ASP with VB components on W2K servers, with W2003 servers just arriving. We are re-architecting and we were led to believe it would be .Net using VB. Our Technical Architect is ex- Java/Unix and his preference for this solution is barely hidden. Recently, a manager from another Company visited us and advise that we went J2EE instead of .Net. His revelation was that few large companies were going .Net because of security concerns. He further claimed that MS had stopped pushing .Net at present, why? because every man and his dog at Redmond was working on fixing these massive security holes. Needless to say, this guy develops solely in J2EE, so he would say that, wouldn't he. The solution at present is to develop the front end in VB.Net and the web services in J2EE. Now, given my limited knowledge of these things, this seems a bodgy solution and impacts on my .Net career. Not good. I haven't seen any information anywhere about MS redeveloping .Net on such a scale and frankly I doubt the claims made. Does anyone out there have a better angle on this? I need some good ammunition to throw back at my Company before a final decision is made. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I am a little desperate.

It came with a 106 KB attachment "Q254952.exe". Now, my concern is it's been scanned by Norton and no virus was detected. I'm NOT going to open this attachment but would like to know if anyone else has received something like this? It looks like a typical MS page from their web site.

    - Why you must install a firewall NOW http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/stories/story/0,10738,2914667,00.html "MSBlast, the recent worm that exploited the buffer overflow in Windows's DCOM RPC protocol, wasn't the sort of e-mail-borne pest that antivirus software is good at catching. Instead, it infiltrated computers directly through their Internet connections. Although installing the latest Microsoft patches should prevent infections from this sort of worm, a simple software firewall will do the trick, too, whether or not you have antivirus software installed.

    - Virus disguised as MS Security bulletin or are we just paranoid? My boss gets what looks like security bulletins from MS regarding patches, but she doesn't think she ever signed up for the service. 1. Is there a way we can check to see if we're on the mailing list? 2. The reason it's critical is that Norton Antivirus 2003 Pro has identified at least one of these bulletins as being infected. Does anyone know of viruses arriving disguised as a security bulletin? Thanks. Tag: error message in Windows 98 Tag: 33199

    - Latest update for Windows 98 appears to be flawed!!! I downloaded the latest 3MB+ security patch for Windows 98 and it screwed up my ActiveX settings and caused several subscription programs to become useless. I had to use my recovery software to go back in time and remove the update. I tried to report the problem to Microsoft, but it appears it could cost me between $20 - $35 to report their problem back to them. Resetting the Active X security options under Internet/Tools/Security did not work. Hope this serves as a warning and keeps some of you from suffering.

    - TODAY: 09/17/03 * This was posted to alt.politics.org.un and as to why i put it here, i didn't know of anywhere else in microsoft world to put it. -------------------------------------------- via radio i did hear for the 1st time bush with the aide of homeland security address hurricane isabel via fox news tv i did see president bush speak of the hurricane, the energy crisis, iraq and saddams connection to 911, al queda and bin laden and about that - bush thinks saddam had nothing to do with yet he knows al queda was clearly involved with saddam. whatever... i guess, no i know bush is in dire straights to some extent. even wesley clark had he been president beginning in 2000 would be in a mess of sorts. i do see the importance of a former nato commander - regardless of what you or anyone else thinks of the man being the leader come 2004 as president of the usa. he does need a clearly viable running mate. i suggest my in-law, janet or chris morris. however, there is someone else here in the states of whom probably has more experience than anyone else in the country who knows the flow of almost everything that makes the usa work and is not a person with a military service record that i know of. that man is non other than Mr. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft. Clark & Gates 2004? again, i state anyone in the oval office as pres of the usa during 91101 would be facing very similar times now. how bush has been perceived by the media and shown to the public via the media and how the public has perceived back, whether what info came and gone in any order, it really is apparent that we are not so well of here in the states. it really is apparent that although we do need to put iraq back together into a free society as perceived by the president and hopefully by you in the un and the people you all represent, it is even more apparent that we here in the states of america need to put our homeland into economical working order immediatly for the benefit of everyone in the states. so please, do as you will and do it with the powers that be. thank you william k. mahler mahlers of cape cod www.mahlers.com Tag: error message in Windows 98 Tag: 33144

    - Spyware Hello, I'm trying to aid a friend who has a significant problem with spyware on his computer. He's running a Compaq Presario 7750 (I believe that's the number), 2ghz with 128 mb of RAM, running Windows XP home. He has a tendancy to download things from sources he doesn't know, and now his computer is barely functioning. Running Norton Antivirus shows nothing, and I've downloaded all the necessary windows updates for him. This is the nature of the problem. Whenever he attempts to open up Internet Explorer (he uses our school's network), his browser is hijacked by all this spyware, rendering the screen unusable unless he does ctrl-alt-del in order to clear away all of the popups and random websites that are maximized too far for him to close the normal way. Does Microsoft have any downloads or patches available that will scan and delete this spyware off of his computer? Thanks,Jade Tag: error message in Windows 98 Tag: 33123

    - Help! VM won't install Ok, somehow, even though I had my machine completely patched with all the latest MS patches, I still managed to get hit with the WORM.NACHI.A and the PE_VALLA.A virus. This thing really tore up my Windows 2K machine. I finally have it up and running and now I am trying to fix all the little annoying things that are left behind by the virus' destruction (ie. Windows Installer coming up everytime I click on something and then going away by itself, etc...) First thing I am trying to do is get the latest Critical patches from the "Windows Update Site" I can install all of them except the VM. It keeps giving me this error when I try and install it. (The Microsoft VM you are attempting to install is a protected system component and can only be updated with a later release of the operating system or service pack). Any help, thanks.

    - Russians invaded my system It seems an internet porn site has installed its own program on MY browser's SEARCH button.

    - software update services Has anyone had luck with Software Update Services? I've got it loaded on a web server here, and I've configured our group policy to setup the automatic download on my client machines, but it's not doing ANYTHING! I can tell from my machine that the GPO is right, because it is set the way I chose and it greyed out so I can't modify it. However, I'm yet to receive a message regarding updates for my PC, yet, if I go to WindowsUpdate, I show 3 when I run the scan. This isn't working for anyone in my office. Now, my thinking is that this is caused by the fact that I am using this web server for my corporate intranet as well, but I've not found anything saying that I can't put SUS on a server that has other pages. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! Chris Smith csmith@nutone.com Tag: error message in Windows 98 Tag: 33106

    - Port 1033 (netinfo) port is open - what's it for and how do I close it I've run Shields up (www.grc.com) to test a clients new Wingate Pro firewall on Win2000 server sp4.

Now I know what you're thinking 'netspy' - but I don't think so. Norton AV with latest definitions doesn't see it and neither does Mcafee's excellent online scan. I can't see what process might be using this port or what it's using it for.

    - Can't map drives via VPN after patch install Hello Everyone, I had all my remote users install the Microsoft patch KB8239800-x86-ENU.exe for the Sandblaster virus etc. Everyone had no problems after installing the patch except two end users. One uses W2K Professional and the other uses XP Professional. The W2K client gets 'Access denied' type of error message. The XP client recieves 'The necessary VPN sub-system is not available. You will not be able to make a conncetion to the remote IPsec server'. Mean while I will have the end users remove the Cisco VPN client software and re- install. Has encouontered or heard of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cardal Tag: error message in Windows 98 Tag: 33082

I get the mesage "Your current security settings prohibit
copying or moving files from this zone".

The article in the knowledge base refers to Windows 2000,
but I have Windows 98.

Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

It might be the way you have things set. In IE, click on
Tools-->Internet Options-->Security then click the button
labeled CUSTOM LEVEL and scroll down to the sub-heading
MISCELLANEOUS. You'll find an item "Drag & Drop or Copy &
Paste Files" with the options of disable/enable/prompt.

This might have been set to Disable. Give it a try.
