    - Microsoft PKI/CA server setup Can I setup a CA server that functions as both root and issuing CA? And, can I setup a stand-alone CA (as opposed to an Enterprise CA) that can interact fully with AD as described in this MS wireless security setup documentation (See Planning Guide)? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cdb639b3-010b-47e7-b234-a27cda291dad&displaylang=e Thanks Tag: how to purge search records Tag: 47441

    - Need help! A good friend of mine died and having been the finacial person of the family and had everything on the computer, his wife is having trouble getting access to this information. He had a folder in my documents named "MyMoney" that we can't open. She believes it's all of their information but it won't open. It simply says that it's too large for notepad to open. Can anyone give me any clues on how to go about opening something like this? If not, please direct me to someone who could. Thanks so much for your time.

    - PC unlock with smart card Hi, I've got a smart card logon system upon WindowsXP in client PC's. The smart card extraction policie indicates to lock the PC when the smart card is extracted from the reader. The smart card insertion unlocks the PC correctly. In some PC's only when the PC is locked for a long time (at lunch time for example) the smart card insertion does not unlock the PC. I have to reboot the PC to get the smart card logon system working again. Any ideas about what might be happening?, Has anybody experienced this behavior before?.

    - No more Spyware There are so many posts here on people having problems with spyware so I thought I'd just post a new thread visible to all recommending Spywareblaster. I've used it 2 years and I've never had any spyware ever. Ofcourse, I've also known about many of the apps that came integrated with spyware and therefore never installed any of those either **This is what it does "By setting a "kill bit" for spyware ActiveX controls, SpywareBlaster can prevent the installation of any spyware ActiveX controls from a webpage. It does this while not interfering with "friendly" ActiveX controls - so your browser can work correctly and you can have peace of mind You won't get any more annoying "Yes/No" boxes popped up, asking you to install a spyware ActiveX control (which can increasingly be found in pop-up ads!). In fact, Internet Explorer will never even download or run the spyware ActiveX control! Site = http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.htm If you already have spyware or want to scan your comp for such then there are already many posts recommending great apps like lavasofts app and Spybot Search & Destroy.

    - Storing logon information on a memory card? Is it possible to configure XP to store username and passowrd information on a memory card instead of the hard disk? My reason for asking is because when a computer is stolen, insurance replaces the hardware, backup media replaces the data, but usenames and passwords (The ones that pop-up on log on screens for all sorts of services when you have selected "save") are very dangerous to have in the hands of the thief. So I'm thinking, well... if I can have XP store all that sort of thing on a memory card instead of the hard disk I can just keep that in my wallet. Tag: how to purge search records Tag: 47358

    - Port security manager panel ?? Why is there not a security panel for managing and opening ports? Unlike a firewall it would watch the programs and the loading of DLL files and scripting with in windows with rules. Ports left open are like doors left open in your home, Right? Or think of this one, you own a home and arrange the furniture, then go out for the evening and come home to find that someone had a key to you home and added some furniture that you have to remove. It would be nice to see a panel that would watch ports that are opened by unwanted programs. Also I think that in order for any program to open a port to the outside it should have a signed certificate in order to open a port, like a key. If you don't chat why should I leave that port open? If the door bell rings or the phone rings and you don't want to talk to anyone you don't answer right? If you where working on a photo or video editing would you want an internet window to pop up with ads - "thinking" you're not connected to the internet? How about gaming when a add pops up, not fun! This is why there has to be some sort of control over the doorways of your computer. There are a lot of open ports that I really don't need all the time. With a security panel you could open it and see what's open or maybe set rules for say when you're gaming to close off extra ports or just block off that spy wear you just got before you figure out how to remove it. Norton's personal firewall has such a thing but it is limited. Tag: how to purge search records Tag: 47311

    - Spyhunter by Enigma Software - crapware? I'm posting here because I'm not sure where else to post - I'm wondering about this Spyhunter program. I came across it while I was looking for a quick cheap malware scanner. It told me I have "seek seek", a homepage hijacker. I then found out that the downloaded program's a crippleware version, it scans but doesn't fix anything without boocoo bucks. The "bad" registry entry was at: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\interface\{57A0E747-3863-4D20-A811-950C84F1DB9B} regedit tells me that this key contains the data "IFlashAccessability". So, I continued my search, going on to the trusty old AdAware and SpyBot packages. I scanned with the latest versions - they found a bunch of bad cookies, but no "seek seek" or any other hijacker problem; no malware was found. I did a little research, and found cwshredder, recommended for removing CoolWebSearch, a nasty hijacker that possibly may be the parent of seek seek. It found nothing at all. I even tried the latest version of Hijack This; it didn't pick out the registry key that Spyhunter was worried about, although it doesn't like Microsoft Money or ATI's drivers at all..... After all this, I re-ran Spyhunter - and "seek seek" is still there. What's the deal? I can't find "seek seek" on any of the malware lists; none of the other packages have found anything remotely like it in my registry. I'm not normally a suspicious person, but.... is "seek seek" just a ploy to get me to buy Spyhunter? Or do I have a homepage hijacker? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks, ECM ~~~~~ Please reply to the newsgroup, the email's a spam trap. Thanks! Tag: how to purge search records Tag: 47307

    - Continued attacks I just reinstalled (clean install) Windows XP for the 5th time. Although I'm taking precautions, it appears that these are not enough, because everytime I connect to the Internet (particularly with Earthlink) I am hit by a particularly nasty virus (most recently all my profiles were completely corrupted). I will now wait until I receive my service pack CD's by mail. Two questions: Is it possible to be specifically targeted (although I can't possibly imagine why), how is this done, and how do I protect myself? Also, I will be reinstalling Norton AV 2004 and running Live Update, downloading Spybot again, and once the latest CD has been installed (patches through 10/03), running Windows Update. Any recommendations on which order I should do the above? Tag: how to purge search records Tag: 47229

Hi I have been having a hellish couple of days attempting to clean my computer of all the (expletive deleted) that my brother has succeeded in installing (adware, spyware, malware...) but I am encountering a recurring problem: Norton Antivirus refuses to run Autoprotect and quits if I try to run a scan or LiveUpdate. Also, something is triggering the execution of NOTEPAD.EXE constantly, but it only shows up in the Process window, not as a notepad window. Although I have succeeded in briefly halting this irritating state of events, it soon reverts to the old way. I ran a full scan in NAV when I got it running - it came up clean. But this morning, the problem has returned I have run AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy and HijackThis! to look for any suspicious stuff, deleted a load and it still won't fix it HELP ME! Please!
