INTERNET UPDATE
Same as "Paul King", I received an email from someone
purporting to be MS Corporation for a security update.
I received this immediately after going to MS newsgroups
to ask a question and like a dummy, gave my correct email
address!
Now, this was a week ago. Everytime I open Outlook Exp.
I get from 3-9 alerts of infected email. Attachment name
is different each time but all have W32.Swen.A@______.
Besides MS Patch, some say mail undeliverable to
___________ (different names & email addresses.)
How do I stop these messages from coming in my email?
I have Norton AntiVirus which warns me every time so I
delete them at that time.
Thanks for any help.

Real weird situation.
Hello,
I have been asked to setup the security for our application suite and
one setup in our lab causes me a great deal of headache!
In this setup there are 3 machines, machine A is the pdc, machine B and
machine C are normal worstation in the domain. All machines are running
windows 2000. As far as I can tell everything is configured OK on the
machines, not warning in the event viewers.... BUT
On the PDC (machine A) the domain administrator password is 'toto', on
machine B the local administrator also has its password set to 'toto'. So I
logon machine B as local administrator and then I run 'net group AGroup /ADD
/DOMAIN' and to my surprise that works. A new group is created in the
domain. If I go on the PDC, and the group has really been created. I don't
get it at all.
But if the administrator's password on machine B is different that the
domain administrator's password, the group is not created.
Can anyone help me to understand this one?
Thank you!

KB824141 Patch *****BREAKS SOFTWARE*****
In the hopes that someone at MS is listening, KB 824141
breaks third party software, specifically Avid XPress,
the most high-end video editing software for PCs in the
industry.
What the patch does has to be seen to be believed. It
causes Avid to open jillions of windows on load and then
hang. How this can happen from a patch that "fixes" list
and combo boxes I have no idea.
The "break" has been experienced by every Avid user.

Help: Unable to install WinXp Security Critical Service Pack
Hi There:
I tried to update my WinXP Home Edition with the Service
Pack 1 (Express) critical Update but unable to install
it.
The update was successfully downloaded and extracted but
when it goes to the installation part, it recommended me
to close all anti-virus program which I did and did the
Back up system or close all open program which I also
did. But still this important Critical Update is not
able to install and pop-up a window saying:
Service Pack 1 Set up Error - Set Up canceled.
In the Web Page Dialog - it is shown that it is not done.
I review the download history and "Retry" many times but
not able to do it.
Any help to give me an idea to let me install this
important Critical Update. I have just spent 2 months to
remove the viruses I have even though I have the latest
McAfee Virus Scan and do the DOS SCAN, turn off the
System Restore, Disk Clean etc. It is like hell,
believed it.
I need to go back and forth to McAfee to online chat with
them for 12 times with different technicians and also
includes 2 supervisors.
Hope helping hands are there this time.
Tks.

XP came with comp/need cd 4 repair
About a month ago, I downloaded this game called BINARY
from natomic.com, it was a simple little Nintendo style
game, but it somehow changed some important files.
Whenever I restart my computer, and i log in, a message
displays saying that some files have been changed, and it
asks me to insert the Windows XP CD so the computer can
restore the original files. XP came with my comp, so I
don't have the CD. The file changes weren't big enough to
do much damage, because I haven't noticed anything wrong.
But, I just bought a game, and the game required that I
install Direct X 9.0b. It tried but then a message came
up saying that Direct X didn't pass the security test for
XP. I thought this strange, but was sure it was the fault
of the changed files. I then downloaded Direct X 9.0b
directly from Microsoft.com. It tried to install but the
same prompt came up telling me that the download files
didn't pass the security test. I'm sure that if I
repaired the files, that I would be able to install
direct x 9.0b, but I don't have a CD. Does anyone know a
way to restore the files without an XP CD? Tag: Web page timeout Tag: 37701

Webpage dialed my modem to ?
A German *webpage* dialed out over my modem, when I clicked that I was 18

I knew email trojans could do this, but the webpage attack was a surprise.
I am on DSL. The modem was just there for a backup, if/when the DSL line is
down.
Is there an option that would give me a prompt before a webpage does this
again, or block modem calls that do not come from me? I already had the:

"always ask me before autodialing" -but it did it anyway.

failed PGP verification with Microsoft's key. Ire-downloaded the key with

Pop Ups:
This is only my experience and I do not want take away
from all of the other posts that give out free program
info to get rid of pop ups. 3 1/2 weeks ago I installed
Internet Security from Norton (2004)version. Since that
time I have not had 1 pop up(I'm not kidding) anywhere and
I do surf a lot with cable. I tried some other programs
before (free) and they helped somewhat but still very
frustrating. It also learns you spam habits and will put
them in a spam folder or do whatever you want.
All I will say is if you are looking for pop ups to go
away this is the program not to mention the firewall,anti-
virus,anti-spam and more. No I don't work for Norton but
this program is great! Costco $58.00 with $30.00 upgrade

updates from Microsoft. Now I get dozens of emails every
day from Microsoft Corporation, MS Corporation, subject:
patch update, bug,...etc. They completely clog my email
because they are large files. I put the settings on my
computer so as not to receive automatic updates, but they
continue. How do I stop this???? Tag: Web page timeout Tag: 37587
Get email about new security updates!
In the aftermath of swen (some of us are still dealing with it) I was
stunned to read this on the Microsoft homepage: "Stay Secure - Get email
about new security updates". This is targeted at home users (the same home
users who, in their thousands, clicked on that wonderful attachment courtesy
of swen).
Now, does this sound like Trustworthy Computing? There is, admittedly, a
separate page explaining how to tell whether an email came from Microsoft or
not, but this is beside the point. People are confused enough already.
Providing a quick fix is no solution - this just opens the door for more
swen variants, claiming to be sent because YOU subscribed for it, and with
no attachment (Microsoft will NEVER send you an attachment. Click on
<fakeurl> instead).
Does anyone care to attempt to reconcile this irresponsible action with
Microsoft's public stance on security?

Microsoft Windows Update Site Broken in IE6
I am the admin for several NT4 workstations. The Windows Update site
(which had previously been working, and only works in IE) seems to have
been broken with the new method of releasing patches (the October
patches). The website shows "No updates of this type are available at this
time." under the section "critical updates and service packs." Because
the workstation had not been patched with the latest updates it should
have shown:
KB824141
KB828035
KB823182
KB825119
Good job, you guys at Microsoft. Keep up the good work -- breaking two
things for every one you fix!

WINS ADMIN delegation
Can someone tell me the best approach to delegating WINS admin to my network
team. We recently migrated our WINS from UNIX servers to our AD DC's. We
do not want to add them to any unnecessary high level groups (e. g. server
operator or DA) to do this delegation. Please advise.
Thank you Tag: Web page timeout Tag: 37556
