    - CAPICOM Win98SE I have a simple VB application to load a *.pfx file into localMachine certificate store using the CAPICOM api. It seems to work fine on Windows XP, however when I try and run it on Win98SE. I get an error on the load method "Incorrect Parameter" I have tried different combinations but they all seem to fail in the same way. The Load works fine to CurrentUser,My store on Win98. It doesn't seem to like importing to localMachine,root on win98? Dim st As New Store Dim storeLocation As CAPICOM_STORE_LOCATION Dim storeName As String Dim fileName As String storeName = "Root" storeLocation = CAPICOM_LOCAL_MACHINE_STORE fileName = "certname.pfx" st.Open storeLocation, storeName, CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_READ_WRITE st.Load fileName, "password", CAPICOM_KEY_STORAGE_DEFAULT Any ideas are much appreciated.

    - strange files on my computer I was advised to delete anything unusual from c:/documents and settings/owner/local settings/temp. Whenever I try to do this, there is a file that I cannot delete because the system says someone else is using it. The file name first was 1376.fdr. At the time, I was not signed on to the internet, and I didn't even have the telephone line plugged in. This morning, I had the same problem with fdr1416.fdr. What is worse, I went to delete the cookies on temporary internet files, and when I came back to look at the temp folder, there was a file called ~df434c.tmp there, and I cannot delete that either. Since I was not signed on to the internet then and did not have my computer plugged in to the internet, either, and I have disabled the wireless zero configuration on msconfig. It seems to me that there is no way this could happen unless someone is on my computer when I am. I run adaware every day, and also have spywareblaster running. I have installed security pack 2. What next? Tag: password doesn't lock anyone out of my pc Tag: 61221

    - Password Locked Hi there. I just want to make sure about something. We have a user whose password keeps locking out. We checked our security event log and there are 2 PC that registers that locks her password. Both these machines are hers and only she uses them. She insists that there is some kind of problem because she types the password in correctly. First off she is very high up and does not appreciate a technician to tell her that she types like her ass. 2nd Some other technician told me that there can be a dialer installed on her PC that tries to connect to a site and it runs in the back ground. Is this possible? Can't I load a key logger so that I can proof to her that it is a user error and not the PC or network. Tag: password doesn't lock anyone out of my pc Tag: 61211

    - Disabling the ability to read/write to a USB device?? It is highly desirable that USB drives are not used in certain locations (such as financial institutions) - In general this is a very difficult policy to enforce as USB is so handy you don't want to generally disable it. Is it possible to disable the ability to read and/or write to a USB device using the inherent security settings (e.g domain or group policy) for different user groups ?

    - Where is a good place to report websites deliberately hacking sufe Where does one report a site deliberately trying to infect surfers with a hacking virus? I mean other than the abuse address shown by Whois, because the netzone holder and my ISP are essentially the same, and my ISP doesn't give a hoot, based on prior reports to them from the same netzone that were responded to with, basically, the information that I ought to resolve the matter myself. I come across a website that tries to compel acceptance of a virus (in this case Mhtreder.ge) which enables further hacking, at 4.31.21.33, at a textually described (from Google) site called nakedpics.name/britney-spears-clips-sexy/ britneyspearsclipssexy.html (three guesses what I was surfing for). My Panda firewall/virus picked up the named virus or variant being downloaded via one of those OS-mimetic pop-up windows and which requires going to task manager and completely nuking the browser to get out of. By coincidence, or perhaps not, I have been having persistent port scan attacks from the 4.31.x.y netzone since at least the start of September. They're a busy little set in that netzone! At any rate, is there a proper place for me to report a website deliberately virus infecting surfers other than a nonresponsive company and potentially nonresponsive abuse email address?

    - Where does one report a webiste deliberately forcing virus accepta When I come across a website that tries to compel acceptance of a virus (in this case Mhtreder.ge) which enables further hacking, who does one tell? My impression is that my ISP, Verizon, couldn't care less - I'm utterly on my own with the help of the Whois account they've set up for their users. This is despite that their customer support in other areas is pretty good in my experience. Using Whois in this case is problematic, as the site, at 4.31.21.33, at a textually described (from Google) site called nakedpics.name/britney-spears-clips-sexy/ britneyspearsclipssexy.html (three guesses what I was surfing for), is either directly held and not subassigned by Level3, which I understand to be part of GTE, which I understand to be associated with Verizon. The area is skipped over in a search for subassignments from the 4.x.x.x-4.x.x.255 netzone holder. Talk about your self-looping error. My Panda firewall/virus picked up the named virus or variant being downloaded via one of those OS-mimetic pop-up windows and which requires going to task manager and completely nuking the browser to get out of. By coincidence, or perhaps not, I have been having persistent port scan attacks from the 4.31.x.y netzone since at least the start of September, though on certain occasion 4.x.y.z IPs are the remote sender and on rare occassions it is from Asia. At any rate, is there a proper place for me to report a website deliberately virus infecting surfers? Tag: password doesn't lock anyone out of my pc Tag: 61207

    - Got a virus just by clicking on a URL I am using Win XP Pro, SP2, IE6. Zone Alarm and AVG virus checker How can I get a virus just by just clicking on a URL and looking at a website??? I clicked on this URL, which seems to contain a virus: WARNING: DO NOT CLICK ON THIS URL: http://www.tjhsst.edu/~agupta/ecard-hijack/ When I ran AVG shortly afterwards, it reported the js/psyme virus. It was in the Temporary Internet Files I traced it back to the above URL. It is also known as the ecard-hijack(1).htm virus. AVG did not complain about it when I clicked on the URL. Since the virus was in the Temp Internet Files, it probably did not do any damage. I just cleared the Temp Int Files. Was it ever a danger to my computer while it was in the Temp Int. Files?

    - Clear IE cache using GPO Hello I posted this question to Windows 2003 Group Policy and Internet Explorer 6 newsgroups with no luck. I thought maybe someone here would known the answer. Windows Server 2003 domain. Is it possible to create a policy to clear Internet Explorer cache which applies to clients upon closing for example? I understand that I can do that on individual machines through Graphic User Interface, i.e. Internet Options > General tab > Settings OR Internet Options > Advanced > Check "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed". I also know the Registry key: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\Cache persistent=0". But is it possible to apply a policy to all the clients XP? Someone said to me a few months ago that I can do this using "Internet Explorer Administration Kit" (IEAK) or I can use the above Registry key and create a GPO to run it ? If this is possible, please can anyone help me to achieve this ? If not, is there any suggestion close to what I want. Thanks a lot ! Smain Tag: password doesn't lock anyone out of my pc Tag: 61125

    - Data Miner and Tracking Cookie Problem - homepage resets automatically to a site that looks like a search page with listings of all types. Pop- ups saying "your computer is infected" and then promoting a download. Norton 2004 was installed before the problem. After problem installed Spyware AND Ad-Ware personal. Ad-Ware detects and gets rid of, worked for about a day, then problem came back and is WORSE - for instance will not allow me to access my Hotmail - takes me back to the bogus screen and pop-ups. Results of Ad-Ware: shows me three-four total files infected. Latest time: Type = Reg data, data miner, Object=HKEY-Local_machines (and then I can't read the rest), Location= software\microsoft\internet explorer\main "start page" (can't read the rest). Ad-ware says the files are "Browser Hijack attempts" and says they are "blacklisted" sites. The other type of file Ad-ware shows as a threat is: Type= IECache, a Tracking Cookie. What can I do to get this thing off my computer? I'm not too technical, but willing to try about anything. If it's best that I take it to someone to fix, about how much should it cost and what do I tell them is wrong. thanks!!!! Tag: password doesn't lock anyone out of my pc Tag: 61119

    - nslookup crashes I found a bug in nslookup.exe that makes it crash. The problem comes from a NULL Pointer dereference, so, a priori, it is not exploitable. But I would like to confirm this and have no time to spend disassemble the code. I see three solutions: - someone by Microsoft wants to fix the bug and I can explain how to reproduce it (easy) - someone sends me the nslookup source code, so I can study it: if the bug can be exploited via a buffer overflow instead of a null pointer, it will become a real security breach for every admin who uses nslookup ! - nobody cares and it will be another "known-but-not-fixed" bug....

    - how do i configure machine to block ping requests Ping Reply: RECEIVED (FAILED) - Your system REPLIED to our Ping (ICMP Echo) requests, making it visible on the Internet. Most personal firewalls can be configured to block, drop, and ignore such ping requests in order to better hide systems from hackers. This is highly recommended since "Ping" is among the oldest and most common methods used to locate systems prior to further exploitation. Tag: password doesn't lock anyone out of my pc Tag: 61065

Michelle;
Not in windows 98.
Windows 98 does not have that kind of security.
If you want security you need something like windows XP or possibly a
3rd party product.
