    - restricted sites zone in IE Hi, I was adjusting my security settings in IE 6 and I clicked on "SITES" in the restricted zone, and there were a bunch of websites, mostly disreputable ones that I'm not sure how they got there. I didn't put them there. My question is this: if I remove them will they stay gone forever? I know this sounds silly, but I really don't know how they ended up in that list, I never added them. If I click remove, what exactly will that mean? Will those sites end up in the safe zone? Some advice please? Thanks... Tag: fake security warnings Tag: 79300

    - Terminal server security issue with screen cache? Hi, I've never seen this mentioned anywhere, but at the hospital I work for, we use a lot of thin clients with Terminal Servers. We also have PC's that connect to them. When the client PC screen locks with the default logon.scr screen saver while the session is idle in the background, if you switch back to the Terminal Server session screen, there is about a 1/2 second where the previously viewed screen is visible, then it updates to show the new screen, which is the login screen. The problem is, it's pretty trivial to just click on the taskbar icon of the session, bring it to the foreground, and hit print screen in that half second, then paste it into paint, or something like that. I've done it many times just to demonstrate the method. If there is patient information in that screen (or any other sensitive info) it's easy to snap a shot of it, and walk away with the data. I have tried DE-selecting using bitmap caching in the TS client, but that doesn't affect it. Has anyone ever heard of alleviating this gap using settings on the client? Thanks, Tag: fake security warnings Tag: 79293

    - RPC UUID Hallo I would like to monitor RPC connections through my Windows NW. I developed a tool that is able to extract UUID from any Microsoft RPC Connections. The problem is that I need a lot of time to map every UUID because this activity have to be done manually throogh RPCDump. I would like to know if is there a complete list of all MICROSOFT RPC UUIDs and corrisponding RPC service so that the mapping can be done automatically? Thankyou for any help.

    - Backup and Restore local SAM Hi, I have a few large file servers running Windows 2000, each having a large number of local security groups on them. These are connected to a Storage Area Network, containing all data. If one of these servers crashes, I can easily create another server and map that server to the same volume used by the dead server. This saves the data, however, I am not sure how to restore the local groups so that their SIDs will correctly map to the data. Since these servers contain so much data, it would be difficult to re-create these groups, then re-assign the security to the data manually, assuming I could even remember each and every set of permissions in the first place. Do any of you know how to correctly restore these types of permissions or have you had a file server crash to where you needed to re-create local accounts? Tag: fake security warnings Tag: 79288

    - Access with cached credentials Hi out there I have a simple question - how long is cached credentials pr. default valid in a windows environment ? The cause for the question is a small windows nt4 domain where the PDC (single and only) has gone forever - no backup neither - and the dealer is now pretty happy even though they no PDC - they can still logon to their workstations and have all vitale services local - the password is set to never expiere. If there is no need for them to add new users or change passwords etc will the cached credentiels ever expiere ? Tag: fake security warnings Tag: 79284

    - Users with ADMIN profile Hi, We network at present is as follows: We have both a NT and 03 Domain. There is a two way trust between the NT4 and Windows 2003 server. The client machines are either Win2k or XP Pro with the latest service packs. The users logon to the 03 domain and are authenticated etc via this domain. The problem i have is that unless the users are a member of the Domain Admins group, certain programs on their pc will not work. Of course i dont want everyone playing about with the domain and have such a high security access. To setup a basic user on the windows xp or win2k, do they need to be a member of the local machine interms of security. Can i give everyone differnet access via the Group policy editor. Thanks for your help Mo Tag: fake security warnings Tag: 79283

    - novice question I have posted the following problem (pasted in next paragraph) in the small business server general questions because I believed my problem was configuration or something related. However, I'm curious to know, can someone possibly be working "behind me" and causing some mischief? No one else should have access to administrator. My virus defs are up to date. I don't see any unusual activity in log files, but then I'm not sure of what kind of stealth is available to a sophisticated hacker. If someone is toying with my network, is it possible to know for certain? Please read my scenario as follows: >I have a user that when I tried to remote to their machine this morning, the >first attempt was met with - "there are several users logged on, which user >would you like to assist?" There in fact was only one (that I know of). >Then after successfully logging in a moment later, the session was ended >with "the user has ended the session" - she didnt'. >Then when I try to go back in, the response is not repeatedly, "the user has >denied remote assistance" >The same thing happened moments later when I tried to log in to another users >session on another computer. - kicked out and then denied on repeated attempts Any help would be great.

    - Spyware method of infection? And is it still present? Let me start by explaining that I am a software developer with a decade of experience in developing software for Windows. I have Windows Firewall, Windows Antispyware, Computer Associates Internet Security Suite and Symtanec Antivirus and a Symtantec router with hardware firewall and the popup blocker is on. So, you can imagine how suprised I was to find that I apparently acquired spyware while browsing using Internet Explorer on Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2. I did visit some sites that had heavy ads. I am at a loss to explain how I got spyware when I did not consent to downloading or executing any code. Could there be an undiscovered loophole? It is impossible to troubleshoot, because I think the first piece of spyware downloaded many more pieces of spyware before I had a chance to stop it. I deleted executable files with random or suspicious names from all over the place. According to Symtanec Antivirus, LavaSoft AdAware and SpyBot, there were about a dozen different pieces of spyware that had to be removed. And I still found pieces they all missed. Right now, I am not sure of the spyware is really gone. When I open most programs (including Notepad and Internet Explorer), it creates a subfolder of my Temp folder, then a small file inside of that folder, then deletes it. The file is NOT an executable. That can't be normal behaviour, can it? What kind of vulnerability can hook into the starting of most programs? I could not find any non-standard shell execute hooks or an AppInit_DLLs registry key. So, I have two big concerns now: 1. How did I get spyware when I did not consent to downloading or executing any code in Internet Explorer, and did not install any software of any kind for weeks? 2. Is the spyware still present? Can anyone offer any thoughts or advice? Paul Tag: fake security warnings Tag: 79218

    - Securing or encrypting local ethernet? (howto) Hello, I would like to encrypt data on a local ethernet to prevent non-authorised user for 'sniffing' for confidential data. Using (secured) tunnels is not the solution due to the fact that the authorised workstations should communicate with each other. Does anyone know a way to secure or encrypt the network on WinXP-SP2?

    - Smart Card Login + Certificate Login to AD -> Lost smart card We have AD login using smart card + certificate working fine. We also know what needs to be done in the event the user forgets the smart card when they come to the office (let them temporarily login using a password and disable it the next day). However, what are people (companies who have implemented this MS solution, including MS) doing with the user who is a traveler with a laptop, has a good cached profile (from the last successful smart card login from the office before disconnecting), loses the smart card and needs to logon to the desktop at a foregin country (or anywhere where they are not connected to the corporate network and can't due to the inability to logon to the desktop in the first place?)?

    - SmartCard Login+certificate to to AD & admins using Remote Control I have smart card login+ certificate to AD working, including W2K admins. The solution that I have allows me to use MS Terminal Service Client, Citrix and XP Remote Desktop with my smart card login+certificate to login to AD on a remote W2K server since these all virtualize the remote desktop sessions with the remote server (eg located at HK) while the admin resides at another location (SF). However, we also use Remote Control products such as RemotelyAnywhere, PCAnywhere, HP/Compaq RILO, WinVNC, MS SMS Remote Control and IP KVMs where it provides physical console access (as if you at are the actual console and many cases outside of the W2K OS itself) even though you are thousands of miles away. With the fact that smart card login to AD requires you to posess and insert the smart card at the server console but you are using a tool which gives you that conolse access/view from a remote distance creates a situation where you can't physically insert the smart card (my arm is not long enough to reach thousands of miles away :)). Again, we are talking about products that gives you actual console access remotely, NOT virtualized desktop sessions where you don't actually have physical console access so the issues are different. What are companies who have implemented this MS solution, including MS doing for this situation? Does anyone have a solution for this? Is there no solution? Tag: fake security warnings Tag: 79207

I know this because EZ Firewall must be set to enable Internet access to Windows Explorer or I get the error message that the command was not sent to the program and the search wizard does not show up. My question is why does windows explorer go out to the eithernet, what information is it sending out? How can I get it to run a search without doing so? I've tried setting up EZ Firewall to only enable the trusted zone for Windows Explorer, but I get the same error message any time I block the internet.

When I ran it again as: tasklist /s workstatation /u XYZ\PrivilidgedAccount it worked, without requesting a password! I'm guessing somewhere along the line, my PrivAccount credientials are cached. I tried clossing the command shell and re-opening a new one, but it still worked. I use RunAs regularly, but I'm always prompted for credentials. Can someone help me understand what is going on here and refer me to a MS reference? I'm concerned because there are times I will walk up to another users system to perform similar activities. Thanks, d. Tag: fake security warnings Tag: 79127

Founded only three years ago by 13 user groups in the United States and Canada, Culminis has been growing like wildfire and now supports 682,217 members in 455 IT user groups and user group associations world-wide. Here is an â??unsolicited testimonialâ?? from one of our member user group leaders that describes his feelings about Culminis. ==================================================== Subject: Big Orlando SQL Launch Ok, after about 6 months of being a member of Culminis I must pledge my allegiance to them. This is the second huge event they let the Florida SBS community participate in and we had the best table in the house. I had people from Tampa and Palm Beach groups helping and we totally kicked all the other vendors to the curb. Never put sales monkeys against it pro SBSers! Huge thanks to Tavis and Frank for the great advice, I had prepared over 1500 promo pieces and my table was clean by 10 AM. Also big thanks to John Paul and Culminis for arranging for the table. Vlad Mazek, Orlando IT Professional Association (Orlando IT Pro) www.orlandoitpro.com =================================================== If you are involved with, or know of, a user group that could benefit from what Culminis has to offer please let us know. There is no charge for groups to join, and the benefits are significant. For more details on Culminis see www.culminis.com Thanks Bill Zack United States Regional Director CulminisÂ®, Inc.

Marc;
Seems to be a bad copy of the Windows Security Center.
Check for spyware, viruses and other malware.
