    - how to secure VPN to a SQL server? I have a deployment package that automatically sets up a VPN on a remote client PC (public). What I'm concerned about is the client PC obtaining a virus and that virus finding its way to our server via the VPN. The client PC's do need Internet access & Email access while the VPN is enabled. The VPN is used only for communication with the SQL server -- basically a split tunnel VPN solution. (TCP/IP settings, Use default gateway on remote network is NOT checked) What are my options? Thanks, Rob. Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85767

    - Renaming a Certificate Root authority I need to rename the certificate root, the "issued by" field on the certificate. Is this possible with Windows 2000, or Win2k3? If so, would the certificates previously issued by that CA be invalidated? Thank you, Bill Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85765

    - How to give multiple users access to encrypted files. I am fairly new to file encryption and I am attempting to implement EFS in a winxp/sbs 2003 environment. I would like to encrypt file and have multiple users access those files. The process seems quite clear. Encrypt a file then import the certificate of any user that will be given access to that file. however i have been unable to get it to work. i have been able to allow the administrator account and an end user to both decrypt the same file but i cannot between to end users. What am i doing wrong. thanks. Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85690

    - Win XP Client to 2003 Server Requires Username/Password I am not familiar with security, so I apologize in advance for what are likely very naive questions. Our site has 2 domains. Users log into domain A which is an old NT 4 server. Domain B has windows 2k DCs, win 2k exchange 2003 server, and a win 2003 standard member server. A trust relationship exists between domain A and domain B. A new client/server application has been installed on the win 2003 server (no service packs) with a client app on Win XP Pro/SP2 desktops. Whenever users attempt to use the client, it will not run until they use explorer to browse to the proper 2003 folder. They then get a username/password request. They must log in to Domain B after which they can map to the application folders and access what is needed. After they log off, the whole thing must be repeated the next time they log on and want to use the app. I have scanned the security and account policies on the 2003 server but am wary of changing anything and causing bigger problems. Can someone help me understand what needs to be done to avoid the logon issue every time a user wants to use this application? More applications of this type are coming, so I just see the issue increasing. Thanks very much for your help. Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85679

    - Destructive, dangerous Autochk.exe An observation that someone from MS might care to comment on: Relates to all NT- based OS's including XP: When an unscheduled reboot happens, the system runs AUTOCHK.EXE to check the system partition before reloading the OS. In principle this sounds like a sensible precaution, however if any files were found to be damaged, then the files are SILENTLY DELETED. The user is not told of this, nor is any option to cancel given. This in fact creates a far worse problem than if no automatic check had taken place. The user now has a disk from which an unspecified number of files are missing, and no easy way to tell which files, or even which folders they were in. From this point on, no program on the disk can be relied upon to function correctly, and no documents, media or sourcecode can be treated as complete or reliable. In fact, if the disk contents are in any way valuable, then the only proper resolution is a full restore from tape. Technically, the deletion is logged in the event logs, but this would only be apparent to a very tech-savvy user, and even then, only if the user knew something had gone amiss. Which he likely doesn't, especially if he didn't observe the reboot. The fragments of the files are moved to a FOUND.xxx folder in the root of C:, however there is no simple way of identifying what the original filenames were, hence again no way of telling what has been destroyed, or where it came from. To cap it all, autochk.exe itself (in the system folder) is protected by SFT and cannot be removed from the system. I reackon the guys at MS need to have a long, hard think about this. Any system which zaps files at random - the user unaware it's happening - is a crazy piece of design. Windows 9x used to run Scandisk in similar situations, however its action was to inform the user of any damaged files found. Autochk does not. Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85663

    - Defender Beta 2 ----- NEEDS SOME ATTENTION At this point, great program and I love it EXCEPT FOR ------ Why does it not catch and stop adware, and the other types of low lovel junk that likes to watch what you do on the Internet??????? Once a week I crank up my Spy Sweeper and run it and I always come up with 12-15 cookies that are the same each week and in my opinion that type of junk should be stopped by Defender. Before I shut off Spy Sweeper and stopped it from runnning in the background that program always stopped that type of stuff !!!!!! Yes I know it is Beta, but come on MS this is now part of OneCare Live to which I have a paid one year subscription to and Defender is still not catching and stoping these cookies from these very basic annoying types of adware and what ever the other stuff is called. If Defender is not going to stop this stuff/junk then will MS change the program so I can run Spy Sweeper all of the time to catch and stop this stuff and not cause a conflict with Defender and OneCare. Maybe MVP Bill Sanderson would be kind enough to way in on this, if so thank you very much Bill for any comments/background that you may be able to provide. -- Larry D Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85624

    - The spyware Browsezilla, and the vulnerability discovered in HLINK Browsezilla is an Internet browser that can be downloaded from numerous web pages. When installed, it installs the adware PicsPlace on computers, which in turn connects users, without their knowledge, to certain adult content web pages. This generates an artificial number of hits on these websites, with the consequent financial benefits to the owners of the websites and the creators of Browsezilla. The consequences for users that install this browser are primarily unnecessary bandwidth usage caused by the hidden connection to these web pages. In addition, users could find themselves unjustly accused of visiting these pornographic websites. PandaLabs has also warned this week of a vulnerability discovered in HLINK.DL, a library used by several Microsoft Office programs, such as Microsoft Excel. Exploits of this vulnerability have been detected that can infect computers using a specially-crafted Excel file. This document could be distributed by email or downloaded from a website. There is currently no patch available for this vulnerability, and users are therefore advised to treat all Excel files received with caution, regardless of their origin.

    - Windows XP Pro with sp2 firewall problem Hi All, I need clarafication and or assistance. I am running Windows xp with sp2. I have always used the windows firewall. But for some reason one day when I was looking for it it was not on. So I tried to turn it on and it gave me a comment about (ICS) was not on and asked if I wanted it on so I picked yes. It is still not activating my windows fire wall. I have searched everywhere and can find nothing to address this issue and about tore my machine apart trying to get it working. Finally I just started using the AVG firewall because having Norton suite installed all but gutted my system and to this day all of it did not uninstall to the point where when I try to install anything or uninstall anything the Norton ghost (which I uninstalled months ago) keeps popping up like it is installing again. Anyway I do use the 2wire SBC dsl Router motem and I am aware that it acts as a hardware firewall but after all the junk I found on my machine it just is not good enough. Is it the windows firewall was discontinued? Is it possible the modem is causing the problem? Is it possibly the configuation? My machine is the only machine, no network, and I connect direct to the modem. Any Ideas -- LordHavoc Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85597

    - Vista: BitLocker Blob Location/Backup In BitLocker for Vista, is it known, exactly, where the encrypted blobs used to secure the encryption keys are stored on the protected volume? The concerns: 1. According to the Technical Overview at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/security/bittech.mspx, secure decommissioning can be accomplished by using commands to delete the encrypted blobs, including the recovery blob. If there is ever any doubt that these blobs could be read or copied off of the drive, the thoroughness of the decommissioning may be questioned. 2. On the other hand, some customers may be concerned about a denial of service should someone/something delete these blobs (especially if a virus affects a domain admin's system, and accesses the WMI commands to "decommission" the volume!). The customer may want some way to backup these blobs, and restore them if deleted. I know this begs the question - "why would one ever embark on volume encryption without a good file backup solution in place?", but it would be faster to restore the blobs than restore all data from tape for an enterprise of laptops. They're probably not regular files, or maybe I missed something using WinHex... Thanks! Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85581

    - surfing safely on the internet Hi. I know there are several ways to make yourself anonymous on the internet. Using a proxy is one of those. I find safety and anonymity very important. The probem is: I would suspect that governments, criminals and hackers would be particulary interested in what you try to hide. If that were the case, what's the point of trying to be anonymous ? It might be counterproductive. I have a broadband connection with essentially a static IP. With reverse DNS lookup my identity can be exposed. It always shows a unique identifier of my specific computer. (It would be a lot easier if my ISP had a proxy, but that is not the case). So, does anyone have an idea about how to stay anonymous on the internet (especially with regard to my IP) ? Perhaps any program, proxy or other facility that won't attract the wrong kind of people ? Any recommendations ? Btw, I live in The Netherlands (Western Europe). I thank you for any help you can give me. Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85547

    - AT&T rewrites rules: Your data isn't yours AT&T rewrites rules: Your data isn't yours http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/06/21/BUG9VJHB9C1.DTL <QP> AT&T has issued an updated privacy policy that takes effect Friday. The changes are significant because they appear to give the telecom giant more latitude when it comes to sharing customers' personal data with government officials. The new policy says that AT&T -- not customers -- owns customers' confidential info and can use it "to protect its legitimate business interests, safeguard others, or respond to legal process." The policy also indicates that AT&T will track the viewing habits of customers of its new video service -- something that cable and satellite providers are prohibited from doing. Moreover, AT&T (formerly known as SBC) is requiring customers to agree to its updated privacy policy as a condition for service -- a new move that legal experts say will reduce customers' recourse for any future data sharing with government authorities or others. The company's policy overhaul follows recent reports that AT&T was one of several leading telecom providers that allowed the National Security Agency warrantless access to its voice and data networks as part of the Bush administration's war on terror. </QP> Tag: msn messanger not working Tag: 85538
