Doubts Regarding Working with Smart Card & Memory Card
The procedure we have used to read data from the memory
card is as follows:
SCARD_T0_COMMAND ib;
LPSCARD_T0_REQUEST tt;
DWORD hk=5,t=10;
ib.bCla=00;
ib.bIns=0xB0;
ib.bP1=00;
ib.bP2=05;
ib.bP3=02;
tran=SCardTransmit(card,SCARD_PCI_RAW,(LPCBYTE)&ib,
t,NULL,(LPBYTE)&tt,&hk);
where card is the handle returned from
SCardConnect.
The value returned by the function is 22 ie. the error
code for Bad Command.
What is wrong with this procedure?
Can yo please inform us the procedure that should be
followed to read data from a memory card using
SCardTransmit.
Is there any difference in the procedure to read data
from smartcard and memory card?
What is the ctlcode for reading data from the smartcard
and memory card(that can be used in SCardControl)? Or can
we define the ctlcodes? If so how to define them? Tag: OE retrictions Tag: 33045

spyware removal
I recently purchased a Compaq Presario 7500, running
Windows XP home, with 2.0 Gig, 128 MB RAM. Upon
connecting it to my university's network, I find my hard
drive ridden with countless spyware programs that take
control of my internet browser, flooding my screens with
pop-up advertisments and redirecting me to undesirable
websites when I point my browser elsewhere. I have a
program that allows me to detect this spyware on my hard
drive; So far, the most prevalent ones are named BackWeb,
Brilliant Digital, Cydoor, Hitbox, and something
beginning with My-Way. The program I'm running, however,
does not allow me to uninstall or delete this spyware
from my hard drive. Anyone have any suggestions? It's

Adding existing McAfee Scan account to new computer

My old computer is very dead, so it seems that I should

Windows Update Failure
For the past three weeks a Windows 98 SE machine has given
a General Protection Fault when installing a critical
update (841078). I have exchanged emails with Microsoft
several times during that period (they take a few days to
react). The first suggestions they made did not apply to
W98. The subsequent suggestions were easy to apply and
totally ineffective. I still get a General Protection
Fault when I attempt to install the update.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Does anyone think this is a satisfactory response from
Microsoft?
To forestall the inevitable question: I have not updated
because I have software which will not run on newer
versions, and a scanner that has no XP driver available. Tag: OE retrictions Tag: 33015

Blocking Senders
Good afternoon Deb, If you are using Microsoft Outlook,
you can have the unwanted senders mail sent directly to
the trash once received. In Outlook, click on Organize
icon, on your tool bar, select Junk email. Then use the
pull down menus to set the rules to Move Junk messages to
Deleted Items, and then click the Turn on Button.
Then go back to your un-wanted mail and right click on it
and select the Junk email list, add to junk senders list.
You will receive a confirmation, just click ok and you are
finished. No new software needed. You can also do this
using Netscape, just a differant setup is all. Hope this
helped.
Have a great day.

Patches KB824146 AND KB823980
I utilized the KB823980 scanning tool on my entire class b
IP address range and pathched all that showed vulnerable.
Then comes the second patch and scanning tool. I run
KB824146 scanning tool and deploy the patch Via SMS out to
all the client machines.
When I go back to the KB823980 scanning tool and run it to
assure we are protected, it shows that I now have hundreds
of machines infected once again.
Here is the Kicker,,, If I re-run the KB824146 scanning
tool, it will show that all the hosts have both patches
applied
I wonder if patch number two made changes to patch number
one so that when you re-run the original scanner it can
not find its fix, there for shows the system vulnerable.
Any body else run into this? This one has me wondering if
the second scanning tool will fix bothe security
breeches? Thanks for your help IT community.

I have come to know that people talking to you on MSN Messenger can find

My network setup is such that I have a router that is connected to a gateway
and all our network clients are connected to the gateway. Although due to
using NAT , individual users IP address is not exposed , but people can find
out the router IP address and then do a whois to track the rest of the
details. How can I block people from finding out our network IP Address ?
