    - pop-ups As of three weeks ago began getting pop-ups from vendors of anti-popup software. Boxes similar in appearance to messenger boxes. These are the ONLY popups I receive during off-line operation. Doesn't matter if I'm on-line or not -- they just come regardless of what I'm doing. Norton, SpybotS&D, adaware, normal maintenance have no effect. Vendors claim they are coming in through hole in MS Messenger. How to prevent/disable? Damned if I'll buy preventative from the perpetrators. Tag: new installation and security issue Tag: 30413

    - Help: Windows XP Pro certificate store has a strange cert that may be bad or damanged I have been working on getting activesync to Exchange 2003 working and was therefore verifying certificates when I noticed that my XP client to which I had a partnership had 3 very odd certificate folders. The three folders are after "Certificate Enrollment Request/Certificates" and have ASCII characters and Kanji (spelling?) characters intermixed. This made me start looking through all my certificate folders and I noticed some odd ones. In the Certificate Enrollment Request/Certificates there is one named "FZkC37K9xRLk8364" which reports that is either tampered with or corrupted. I have attached just the public key to this cert (although I have both the public and private in the request). Is my cert-store damaged, or is there something malicious going on? My machine is Windows XP and is in it's own workgroup, although it often communicates to a Win2003 DC. Any advice or investigative suggestions would be most welcome! -Neil neilgo(_r#mov3)@xcelar.com begin 666 Bad or Damaged Cert.p7b M,((!8 8)*H9(AO<-`0<"H((!43""`4T"`0$Q`# +!@DJADB&]PT!!P&@@@$U M,((!,3""`1Z@`P(!`@(0^I"N127#AII*`9=_\N:+9S )!@4K#@,"'04`,!LQ M&3 7!@-5! ,3$$9::T,S-TLY>%),:S@S-C0P'A<-,#(Q,3(P,3 R-# W6A<- M,#,Q,3(P,38R-# W6C ;,1DP%P8#500#$Q!&6FM#,S=+.7A23&LX,S8T,(&?

    - Buggy WinXP Patch 821557 ??? When I installed Windows Update 821557, I lost function of my right click drop down menus, couldn't rename files or folders and several other bugs. System would lock and had to force quit what ever was involved. I uninstalled the patch and everything returned to normal. To play it safe, I restored my Win XP SP1 (home edition) to a previous state (before patch). I'm afraid to install this patch again and have been trying to gather info on this buggy patch. Anyone else having problems with this patch ?? I'd like to know-----Thanks !! -- Posted via http://dbforums.com Tag: new installation and security issue Tag: 30374

    - Unexpected System Shutdown Recently the W2K server -well patched- had two unexpected system shutdowns. The only trace is the entry in the System event log with Event ID:6008. It could not be power related; the other machines sharing from the same power source did not reboot. Could it be a hidden worm, or a new attack? I know you could shutdown local area network machines remotely. Maybe the command can be sent over IP to any unauthorized network? Thanks. Tag: new installation and security issue Tag: 30369

    - Microsoft Passport problem Hello, Windows 98 / IE 6.0 SP1 I'm having a problem logging with Microsoft's Passport service. The signin page has no field/box whatsoever beside the email field and a normal input box beside the password. If I simply type in my password it says it's incorrect. If I click on the "Sign in with a different email address" link I get a screen full of garbage; I've cut&pasted that screen at the bottom of this message. I know my password is correct because when I goto member services, I'm able to enter in my email and password and it says the password is changed correctly. Can someone help me with microsoft passport?

    - Patch Test Procedures? I couldn't find this somewhat obvious question in my searches so I'll just ask: I'm looking for a patch test methodology to follow for my Microsoft patches. Everyone says to test patches before deploying them to my 100+ Microsoft servers - how do I do that? How do I make sure (for example) that every part of my branch Win2K server's DHCP service works correctly? Is there a list of functions to test? TIA for your help!

    - Hacking/illegal use of e-mail account Several months ago I was reviewing the list of blocked users in Outlook Express. I was surprised to see my own address among them, and removed it from the list. The next time mail was received there was a very disturbing porn related email sent. The sender, according to the address shown, was me! At the time it appeared that somehow my account or address had been hijacked or pirated, but there was nothing I had read to support the idea. Recently, however, an article appeared in our paper supporting this possibility. Unfortunately the article didn't explain how to detect or remove the problem. The easy solution would be to simply remove the e-mail account and set up a new one, but I want to know conclusively if my account was used illegally to forward crap to other people. Thanks to anyone taking the time to read this and respond. Tag: new installation and security issue Tag: 30348

When I am checking security update of Windows NT 4.0 Workstation nothing about very important critical security patch MS03-026 (Q823980) is displayed. I have found out that in mssecure.xml file that contain information about all updates there is information that MS03-026 is applicable only on Windows NT 4.0 Server and not on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. Is there any possibility how to force MBSA to display all needed patches for Windows NT 4.0 Workstation? I mean to get correct MSSECURE.XML file.

    - Disappearing website access Starting Friday pm I began having problems accessing various websites -- for example, I could get to Hotmail but could not access mail -- could get to ebay opening page but could not access my accounts -- etc... -- now I can't get to Microsoft directly (came thru a link) or Symantec -- page keeps timing-out with a "page not available" type message. It seems to be getting worse the last 24 hrs. This is my idea how a worm/virus would work but have a firewall & Norton Antivirus -- nothing shows up on scans. Any ideas where to look or what to do?

    - McAfee/Office 2k/MS03-026 Had a problem today with these three pieces on multiple Win2k pcs. Do they not play well together? I am now unable to uninstall or reinstall McAfee and Office. I deleted any reference to McAfee, Network Associates and vscan451 out of my registry, and when I go to reinstall or install a higher version of McAfee, Windows thinks the old 4.51 is still there. Any suggestions? Outlook, Excel, Word and Powerpoint were affected too. When we went into an Office program it kicked us out with an error about bad links.

    - What the heck is going on? I have received about 14 Non-deliverable messages in my Hotmail Inbox today. All with a variety of email addresses I have never sent to and from Domains I have never heard of. All telling me a virus I sent them caused the e-mail to be non-deliverable. Some even include the virus in ASCII rendition of the binary. So I sent a email using my Hotmail address to a location I knew did not exist. I did this to see if my IP address was in the Non-deliverable e-mail. And it was. But in these Non-deliverable virus emails they do not include my IP address nor do they contain the SMTP header: X-Originating-IP: This makes it difficult determing what the IP address of the originating email was that generated the non-delivery. Here is an example: X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jEHjJx36Oi8+YDSEg8qKPPD Received: from agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM ([64.246.50.15]) by mc3-f34.law16.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Mon, 25 Aug 2003 12:09:50 -0700 Received: from mailnull by agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM with local (Exim 4.20) id 19rMiu-00076V-VB for hesterloli@hotmail.com; Mon, 25 Aug 2003 14:09:52 -0500 X-Failed-Recipients: agmay@agmay.com From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon@agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM> To: hesterloli@hotmail.com Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender Message-Id: <E19rMiu-00076V-VB@agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM> Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 14:09:52 -0500 X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - agmay.LIQUIDWWW.COM X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - hotmail.com X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [47 12] / [47 12] X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - Return-Path: <> X-OriginalArrivalTime: 25 Aug 2003 19:09:51.0233 (UTC) FILETIME=[75A2F710:01C36B3C] This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

    - Outlook Express problems When I open my e-mail I have 50-100 unsolicited e-mails from people I do not know. The emails come from real e- mail adresses, the subject line is usually: Thanks You,version update, your details,or details. In the body of the e-mail is the same script every time: : SEE ThE ATTACHED FILE FOR DETAILS. There is no attachment and once when I answered the e-mail and said there was no attachment, it came back with a Thanks for the follow up e-mail. These are annoyingg, and I have even received a couple of computer message back from the system that said an e-mail you tried to send contained a virus and was not delivered to ?? I did not send the e-mail, and as far as I can tell do not have any visible worms to my security /firewall. What's up with this? Any ne else having these problems ?

    - "Logon Failure" Help I am getting an error message on one PC (call it PC/A) "Logon Failure: the user has not geen granted the requested logon type at the computer" when I try to look at shared folders from another PC running XP (call it PC/B). When I go to PC/B and try to look at PC/A, IT WORKS! I can see all shared drives, etc. How can I set up PC/A to access PC/B? (And what's going on here? This is only an issue with the XP machines on my home network. I haven't (knowingly) setup ANY PC's with passwords ... I didn't have these problems before the latest MS security updates that I put in last week... but perhaps that's just a coincidence. Any help will be appreciated.
