    - How can I determine the signer of a CAB/DLL/EXE file? Hi there, I'm not sure whether this is the right group to post this query to, but if not, any pointers to the relevant resources would be helpful :) What I'm attempting to do is write an installer that will i) download a CAB/DLL from the internet, ii) verify its digital signature, and iii) check the name of the signer. Only if our company is the signer will the CAB/DLL be installed on the user's machine. I have managed i) with WinInet*() and ii) with WinVerifyTrust(), but I am at a loss as to how to achieve iii). Can anyone suggest a method that would allow me to do this? It must be possible since IE displays the name of the signer when you download an ActiveX from the internet, but I'm stuggling to find an API function to extract this information from a PE/DLL/CAB file. Thanks in advance for your help, Mark. Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28475

    - Worm in Windows 98 I have windows 98 and I have the same glitches, restarts, and all of the exact same symptoms as the Blaster worm. I have downloaded the symantec tool and stinger by network solutions and it still does not detect the bug. Everytime I try and download updated virus software the computer restarts. I have tried to report to Microsoft but keep hitting walls or pages that cost big money that I do not have to try and report this. What do I do? Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28474

    - Worm Patch Hello. I have XP home on my PC. I have routinely updated my software via windows update. Do I still need to go elsewhere to download a seperate patch, or will windows update take care of it? Also, I've tried enabling the personal firewall on XP, but I cant find where to do so. My dialup connection came from a CD from my ISP. Would that prevent me from enabling it on that connection? I followed the directions on MS website but still gets stuck.

    - What is application/ms-tnef attachment? I recently sent a message to somebody which had an "application/ms-tnef" attached to it. My computer is doing a few strange things recently (eg. my wife got a Reboot? prompt a couple of days ago). I've scanned my system with two up-to-date scanners (PC-CILLIN housecall, NOD32) but not found anything. There seem to be a lot of nasties around at present. Could this be one? Is this a common type of attachment for nasties? Thanks, Robert. Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28456

    - Blaster patch Hello! I have WIndows XP/home on my PC and I update my Norton anti-virus software weekly. I've run a scan on my computer and am not infected with the Blaster worm. Do I still need to install the Microsoft patch if I continue to update my anti-virus software regularly? I'm reluctant to do so if I don't have to, since I'm afraid the patch will interfere with other programs on my system. And if I still do need to install the patch, can you tell me which one it is? There are quite a few that the Microsoft site lists for me, and I can't tell which one is for Blaster. Thanks. MG Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28452

    - Weird actions of blaster? Or maybe this is normal...I have and have always had my norton up to date for live up date. Then my comptuer pops up with the 'red alert' box from norton that my computer is infected with the blaster worm. I cannot quarantine or anything, only can hit ok. This will always pop up twice in a row. Then I do a system scan in all files for a virus, and it won't show up, I've downloaded the fixblast tool from norton to fix it and it says my computer is not infected. After connecting to the interent my machine gives me the 1 min countdown to restart. I have since turned my RPC to not restart my computer but to restart the service if it's interuppted so I could get the patch put on. Also in my processes the msblast.exe doesn't show up and my registry doesn't have the added key to run the ms blast. My question is how the heck do I get rid of it? Am I going to have to completely reinstall my XP? Thanks for any help! Jeanne Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28304

    - Beware the popup ad imitating the blaster worm FYI Last night while browsing web sites I hit a popup ad that created a full screen white window with a dialog that looks very much like the crash dialog for RPCSS complete with a countdown timer. The only difference is there is some small ad text in the bottom of the dialog. It's a fake but it gave me a start. -- Ken Wickes [MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28294

    - XP Blast gone but services still cant run Ok everyone check this out...I had the blast.exe removed from my XP home eddition. Attemted to disable the system restore before I reboot. failed. The blast worm appears to be gone in the registry current version_run_ is empty. Upon install of the update I received the "crypo service not running" error, unable to verify .inf file. So when I attempt to start that service it errors saying the dependencies are not running (RPC is that dependency). Cant even view properties of any services. Anyone heard of this?

    - Net Admins and Blaster What I find hard to believe is the number of network admins that didn't already have these ports blocked on their internet routers. I read where Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration shut all its offices at noon. Whoever is in charge of security there should be fired. Remember to set those routers up to deny all and then only open up what you have to. Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28278

    - Certificate Server Installation Failure - Solution During the installation of Enterprise CA on Windows 2003 stops with error: An error was detected while configuring Certificate Services. The Certificate Services Setup Wizard will need to be rerun to complete the configuration. Certificate Services setup failed with the following error: Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the network path is correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If Windows still cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator. 0x80070033 (WIN32: 51) Wanted to post the solution I worked through to assist others in the future. After troubleshooting this for awhile I thought that this was being caused by a failed attempt to reach an AD Server even though the error was somewhat generic. All DNS possibilities were looked at and nothing was incorrect, although this was a multihomed server running ISA. I temporarily disabled the Internet NIC and the installation was successful,however I am investigating Event ID 103 Warning which appears to be the only event that this change produced. Hope this will help someone in the future. Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28263

    - Any recent changes in IE Security w/ .NET components? e.g. IEExec? Does anyone know of any recent changes/patches/updates affecting how Internet Explorer handles embedded and "no touch deployment" Windows Forms .NET Controls? I was working on a hosted .NET control a while back (not an ASP.NET control, but a Windows Forms .NET control that is embedded with the <object> tag. It was working very well then. I shelved it and recently came back to it and now ti doesn't show in the page. I also created a container EXE that can run from the same web site that was also working just fine, and now it throws a Security exception, with no useful information as to why. The control and the exe do nothing that required any additional permissions - no file access, etc. Im trying to figure what has changed - could it be that IEExec has been updated to be more "secure"? (in other words, cripple .NET in the browser so it takes the same downward spiral as java applets). It could also be that something was added to the code, but I just tried a new sample with a control containing only a label and no other code, and that failed to. If something has indeed changed, which it appears it has, where can I find more information on it? This needs to be deployed soon as part of an Intranet application, and additional client install needs to be avoided. Sorry for the wide cross-post, but this topic really does cross over several newsgroup boundaries. ________________________________________________________ Luther Miller .

    - Wireless Security I need clairification on a wireless issue. If 2 seperate LAN systen are running. The first LAN is NOT connected to the Internet for security reasons. The second LAN is using the Wireless Microsoft MN-500 Wireless router and does have an Internet connection through High Speed cable. Can the signal emmisions emmitted from the unshielded CAT5 wireing on LAN(1) be broadcasting inside of the wireless bubble. And if a hacker (with a wireless reciever NIC) gets in into the wireless LAN (which is no doubt possible) could they then grab the packets floating around from LAN system (1). This is what I heard and I'm wondering if this is actually true, because as I understand it, if the hacker connected to the Wireless LAN , which has it's own DNS, DHCP, Gateway and Subnet can they sniff packets that might be floating around that are from an entirely different DNS, DHCP, Gateway and Subnet? Or if they have a wireless reciever NIC can they just scan within the bubble for any packets of information without needing to make a connection to either Network? I hope I explained it properly, but if you would like to help with this situation and need further details, just ask. Thanks Tag: norton antivirus program Tag: 28256

    - encryption - combos vs keys question I want to encrypt some documents on my computer, but I don't want to use "combo" encryption, but rather burn a security key to a cd-r so if the CD is in the drive, I can open up the documents without so much as a popup box, but without the cd in the drive, I cannot gain access to the documents.

    - Using Group Name in an Internationalized application. Hi, I am seeking the opinion of people that have implemented the use of Group policies in internationalized applications. In our application we have some core components that have to validate the credentials of users, for instance we check if a user is a member of the "Acme Administrators" group or "Acme Users" user. The problem comes from the fact that in our french version the groups will be named "Acme Administrateurs" and "Acme Usagers", so we cannot search by group name. One obvious solution is to store in the registry the SID's of the variaous groups we have created and lookup by SID's instead of names. Are there any other way? Thank you!
