Keys to encryption
I encrypted my personal files but seem to fail getting access to
them from another computer:
I have a folder with files that have been encrypted on my home
computer (win2k),
- I exported the keys (to *.PFX format)
- then went to my office computer (Win2K), installed the keys (by
double
clicking the file or by going to the MMC console)
This is a procedure in accordance with that described on the
Microsoft website but still after installing the keys I cannot
open the files....
I also got certificate (*.p7b files which seemingly seem to be
file recovery certificates when installed on another computer)
but similar to the above problem, this also does not grant me
access to my encrypted files.
So, now being very concerned if not gravely worried on how to
make this work (and make sure I WILL KEEP access to my file at
all time) I would appreciate if you could advice me on how I can
securely encrypt files and bring the keys to the another computer
where I then can access these encrypted file again.

Security patches(839645, 841872)having issues when ran in a batch
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had a fix for the issue I am having? My issue is when security patches(839645, 841872) are applied while using them in a batch file it comes up with this error(The drive is not ready for use: its door may be open. Please check drive E: and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed.) This only becomes an issue when the workstation has a Zip drive installed, but if you run the patches individually they run as advertised. I know this sounds confusing, but I was wondering if anyone has seen this before or could help me out.
Thank you Tag: Pad lock Tag: 57375
critical update 839643
On about 7 June 04, Microsoft started offering CRITICAL
UPDATE KB 839643. Everytime I try to install it, I get a
setup error, " Setup cannot continue because one or more
pre-requisites ... failed. Well, long story short,
Microsoft has a KB 870560 which explains this very error
and the RESOLUTION is go download the same update and try
to reinstall it again !! And you'll get the same error
again and again. If you go to MS04-016 and carefully
follow the instructions, Microsoft again Fixes this error
by having to download the update again !!!
This is an INFINITE LOOP ! NON - SENSE !!!
Can't they just talk in plain English ??
Why do we get this error applying a CRITICAL UPDATE ???? Tag: Pad lock Tag: 57369

I am running XP and Norton 2002.

use my system as normal and receive emails, but am unable
to run Norton in order to update it.

SpyBot 1.3 Automation Issues
I am trying to automate Spybot 1.3 to run automatically but cannot get
the commandline parameters to do what they state they do. I basically
schedule the spybotsd.exe /autoupdate /autocheck /autoclose /autofix
/autosilent /nocancel but I can't get it to automatically close. I
schedule the job as "Local administrator" and it runs but when it is
finished it keeps coming up with a confirmation box and I need to hit
OK. If I run the same scheduled task logged into the Domain as
another user none of the dialogs pop up as they do when I am logged in
as Local Administrator and the most frustrating thing is that the
process just runs forever and never ends! (The domain user I login as
has been added to the local admin group).
What I'm basically trying to accomplish is to create an image on a pc
that I'm going to roll out to 40 different domain users with spybot
already configured to run, update, and close automatically without the
user having to ever interact with it. Is anyone having the same
problem as me or more importantly can anyone offer a suggestion as to
why this isn't working correctly. Thanks a lot in advance. Tag: Pad lock Tag: 57318
Recent Security Updates
Has anyone had a problem with services not starting after the installation
of the latest security updates of July 14th 2004. I have resolved the issue
on my local machine but still have a server with issues. I have not found
any articles from MS stating advers effects to the updates. My local SQL
Server sevice(Using NT Authentication) failed to start after the update and
reboot. My SQL Server box that uses SQL Authentication was fine. I had to
reset the password for the login account on the MS SQLSERVICES Service in
the services panel and then it was OK. Would like to know what this effected
and why so when we do corporate wide updates we can be ready with a fix. or
even better yet MS fixes it first.

CreateProcessAsUser (error A required privilege is not held by the client)
Hello,
I want to do something similar but I have problems with CreateProcessAsUser
function. It always returns me 1314 error code (A required privilege is not
held by the client).
What I really want to is give more privileges to current process. I'll
explain. I'm developing a service setup and it needs to call net start and
other things. It should be able to install the service under no
administrator users, so I use, first of all, LogonUser and
ImpersonateLoggedOnUser to convert current process to privileged process.
This part goes well and let me extract files in Program Files folder and
write on LocalMachine registry entry.
I tried to use ShellExecute to call "net start service_name" but it didn't
go well. I read that impersonate token is not inherit by new processes, so
ShellExecute took unprivileged token on its creation.
I think that the solution is CreateProcessAsUser to call "net start
service_name" but when I execute it, the result is 1314 error code (A
required privilege is not held by the client), as I said.
I'm very glad if anyone can help me.

Updates slow down Windows XP & download speeds
Hello all:
I am having the same issues with Mac OSX. I have high
speed cable and contantly acheive speeds of 260k per
second download speeds on an unpatched XP pro machine.
On my other machine, I installed all of the updates. As
with OSX, windows I have found has taken a massive
performance hit as a result of all of the security
updates applied. On the same cable these speeds dwindle
down to only 50-60k per second. I cannot find any
threads or support pertaining to this issue. It appears
that performance on these platforms is being sacraficed
for security. Any ideas...? Thanx. Tag: Pad lock Tag: 57283

What is a valid digital certificate for a file?
Hi.
When I checked the digital certificate for file "EXCEL.EXE", I saw
"Valid from 3/29/01 to 5/29/02".
Today is 7/14/2004.
If it is a certificate on Apache server, it will say "This certificate
has expired."
But Windows told me "This certificate is OK."
How can it be possible to be OK?
After I renamed the file "EXCEL.EXE" to "EXCEL123.EXE", it still says
"This certificate is OK."
The certificate protects software from alteration after publication.
If the filename is changed, is that an alteration?
If I signed a DLL with a certificate and renamed it, the DLL file's
certificate will be OK, but there is no way to use it as before.
Please let me know the true meaning of digital certificate.

DOS Exploit
Using Spybot Search and Destroy, I have repeatedly
encountered what is labeled a Data Source Object Exploit.
The fix temporarily removes the DOS Exploit, but it
returns, despite my attempts to manually remove it in the
Registry at:
HKEY USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Internet Settings\Zones.
There are four Zones in mine. The 1004 value highlights
and I have removed all four several times without success.
Based on information provided by Spybot S & D, I
understand that a security hole in Internet Explorer is
allowing websites to execute code without my permission.
Today, I had to remove a trojan horse: Download/Ware. I do
not know if there is a connection. I do know, however,
that I have had to remove considerably more adware and
spyware since I discovered the problem with the DOS
Exploit.
On article I read suggested renaming the 1004's to 1003's.
I am wondering if the zones may safely be deleted in there
entirety? Is there a fix, other than going to a different
browser?

Firewall Program Disabled After Security Updates
I am posting this here because I do not know where else to
post, and wanted this to be seen by Microsoft's Tech Support.
Today, Wednesday, June 14, 2004, I downloaded the new
security updates that I get via IE Browser updates. After
I finished with the updates, and rebooted, I happened to
look inside my McaFee Firewall listings for "Manage
programs you access on the Internet", and I noticed this:

of the executable to the virus or malware, can I use a path rule to
disallowed this executable from being run on the local machine. Will this
prevent virus and malware that are started by the registry? The
documentation is very vague in describing how exactly this works.

hi
someone could send to my server
invalid or malicious POSTs packets
THEN:
i go to validate "every" field
i will get with "Request".Form or Cookie
does it is appropriate ?=20
and...
if an attacker append to the post=20
"MyField" with its value
(surely a value that can break the service)
is the web server (IIS)
capable to ignore the field?
or could it be dangerous?
thanks

bridge.dll HELP!
I was was cleaning up a pc for a friend and got everthing in order, except when Adaware removed some things, it did not totally get rid of bridge.dll. I also ran a scan with Spybot, it removed a bunch of stuff too, but not the bridge.dll. The pc is a Sony Viao running XP.When you log on as one of the users, you get a rundll error message stating that it can't find bridge.dll. I did find one web site through a Google search advertising a bridge.dll removal tool. When you access the web site you download the the product and you could do a free scan, but then you would have to pay to use the cleaning tool. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you for your help!! Tag: Pad lock Tag: 57208

Firewalls
I was just wondering how the current Windows XP Pro firewall compares to
third party firewalls like McAfee? Also, how will the updated firewall in
SP2 stack up to third party firewalls?
Thanks Tag: Pad lock Tag: 57203
I am not longer seeing the pad lock at the bottom right
corner on secure sights. Could someone tell me why?
Thanks, Becky
