    - SpywareNuker Sues Symantec http://www.netrn.net/spywareblog/ July 28, 2004 Right now this is a Spyware Warrior exclusive as far as I know. I was notified that Trekeight, the company responsible for SpywareNuker, filed a lawsuit against Symantec, the makers of PC security products including Norton Anti-Virus. Since September 2003, Symantec has targeted SpywareNuker as adware. http://sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.spywarenuker.html Trekeight has filed the complaint, which can be viewed here: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/files/Trekeight_v_Symantec.pd f (PDF), with the US District Court in southern California. Many people have claimed that SpywareNuker, a spyware removal program, actually installed spyware, but I have never seen any proof of that claim. Eric L. Howes tested SpywareNuker and sent me the results, which I blogged about previously. SpywareNuker is listed on the Suspect/Rogue Anti-spyware Programs page with notes documenting his findings and recommendations. Stay tuned for more on this story.

    - Software Company to End Pop-Up Ad Deluge (AP) - A San Diego company has agreed to stop bombarding computer users with Internet pop-up ads to advertise its ad-blocking software, avoiding a court battle with the Federal Trade Commission. D Squared Solutions LLC, which was created by two college students, reached a settlement Wednesday with the FTC, which had filed a civil suit against the company last year. D Squared agreed not to send pop-up ads using the Messenger function enabled on many Windows operating systems; such ads do not require an open Web browser to display. The company also won't sell ad-blocking software any longer, and it is barred from sending other ads unless users can choose not to receive them. The company's founders, Anish Dhingra and Jeffrey Davis, do not admit wrongdoing and do not face any penalties. The FTC's legal case against D Squared, one of the first to address pop-up ads that have become a common Internet marketing technique, was seen as an attempt to limit an often-intrusive form of advertising that exploits technology built into Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)'s Windows software. The government alleged that using Messenger, D Squared was able to send pop up ads every ten seconds in the form of small dialogue boxes that usually appeared in the middle of the computer screen. This function was initially designed for network operators to send systemwide messages to employees. The FTC said the practice was a hassle to consumers and misled them into thinking there was nothing they could do to stop the ads. Attorneys for Dhingra and Davis claimed the pair were not trying to extort consumers with their ads and only intended to send one a day to computer users. Lawyer Anthony J. Dain has said the ads are "annoyances you have to deal with in a free society." Tag: lost control of browser Tag: 58360

    - Norton System Works After installing Norton System Works software on my computer, of which is running on Windows Millenium, I learned that System Works will cause Outlook Express to run slow. It gives a Microsoft web address where you can get a fix for it, however, if I do that, then the cost is $35.00 which is a little ridiculous since the software was only $47.00. Have I been ripped off by Norton or is there some simple fix to the problem without me having to pay an arm and leg for it? Hilton Tag: lost control of browser Tag: 58326

    - Norton Firewall Settings w/ XP Home Running XP Home (ICF disabled) on an E-Machines T1742 to a DSL connection. Cleanly installed NPF 2004 and the only way the firewall functions is by turning off the firewall part of the application, including the Trojan blocker! Deleting all of the pre-set rules under Personal Firewall -> Advanced -> General plus putting on "low" all slider controls makes no difference. Symantec want a thieving $40 US per technical help call on top of the purchase price. Am I doing something wrong or have I just wasted my money on NPF 2004? Any clues anybody? Thanks in advance.

My updated AV software says that it isn't a virus nor does it contain malicious code. The file is located in my C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. I did a google search and nothing came up.

Take away the Administrator rights from the Local\Administrator account. 5. Continue working as Local\Administrator. Can anyone think of a reason why this might not work?

    - heavy traffic on port 1025 Many people seem to have noticed heavy traffic on port 1025. This traffic is caused by the task scheduler service hosted by svchost.exe. This service opens port 1025 by default. There are two ways to block this traffic: 1) disable task scheduler service and reboot; be aware it is possible that prefetch, system restore and bootvis won't work properly anymore; 2) deny inbound traffic for svchost.exe using TCP on the local ports 1024-65535; you can use a firewall like Agnitum Outpost 1.0 (freeware) to configure your system this way ( http://www.agnitum.com/download/outpost1.html ). To exploit task scheduler listening on port 1025, you can even download a tool from the net: remoxec from http://www.securityfriday.com/tools/Remoxec.html . This explains probably the amount of scans of port 1025. Tag: lost control of browser Tag: 58295

    - HELP Making Folder Private I am running Windows XP Pro. I followed the instructions below on how to make a folder private. When I got to: "On the Sharing tab, select the 'Make this folder private so that only I have access to it' check box." That line and checkbox are grayed out. The folder I am trying to make private is in MY DOCUMENTS which is one of the folder areas that this option should be available per the instructions below. The only thing I don't know is if my hard drive formatting conforms to this instruction: "You cannot make your folders private if your drive is not formatted as NTFS." Can anyone help? Is there a way to tell if my drive is NTFS formatted? Any other suggestions? Thanks. ======================================================= INSTRUCTIONs FROM MS HELP AND SUPPORT CENTER: To make your folders private Open My Computer. Double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive (C:), unless you have more than one drive on your computer). If the contents of the drive are hidden, under System Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive. Double-click the Documents and Settings folder. Double-click your user folder. Right-click any folder in your user profile, and then click Properties. On the Sharing tab, select the Make this folder private so that only I have access to it check box. Notes To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer. This option is only available for folders included in your user profile. Folders in your user profile include My Documents and its subfolders, Desktop, Start Menu, Cookies, and Favorites. If you do not make these folders private, they are available to everyone who uses your computer. When you make a folder private, all of its subfolders are private as well. For example, when you make My Documents private, you also make My Music and My Pictures private. When you share a folder, you also share all of its subfolders unless you make them private. You cannot make your folders private if your drive is not formatted as NTFS. For information about converting your drive to NTFS, click Related Topics. Tag: lost control of browser Tag: 58234

    - IE6 not logging me in as Administrator 99% of IE6 works like it should but for some reason I can't directly access [Tools] \ Internt options, some kind of error: " Restrictions The operation has been cancled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system Administrator" DUH! I AM the computer's Administrator, I am the only one who uses this computer and is not networked with any other system (aside from the internet) and lastly probably because of this 'glitch' I can't change my home page if I wanted to.

    - Setting the proper userid and password credentials for printing How do I set the userid and password to a default printer? I can select the printer through Visual Basic that I want to print to, but in order to be able to print to it I need to supply the correct credentials. I haven't found anything that specific how to do this. Once I set the credentials then I can use the printer properties to print my document. Tag: lost control of browser Tag: 58223
