    - Security warning popup Last night I saw a security warning poped up on my screen. Here is what it says "Warning important message!! You are seeing this message, because we have detected that you have tracking software installed in your machine this not a virus, but a program in your machine that monitors and transmits all of your online activities, and is a serious violation of your privacy Below is a link to free scanner to download that will find and remove all spyware programs on your machine: Get the scanner" The download and get the scanner on this paragraph are the link to the free spyware scanner from enigma software Grour, inc. My question is this a trusted software to download this executable file to my computer. Is this software company related in anyway to microsoft or they are trying to sell? Their message if it is true concerned me at the same time how can I trust them to download thier software into my computer. Thanks in advance for answering my questio Tag: spam Tag: 50715

    - My modem is getting hijacked Im running Windows XP and IE6.0 - and Im usually behind tight firewalls - now I surfed "outside" the wall and somehow - someone tries to hijack my modem. What happen is that the number My modem is calling has been switched out and replaced with a number in the Cook Islands!!! - and there are several different numbers that keep switching between themselves - all in the Cooks Islands I.e 0068 837015 My user name has also been switched and is now ConnInts10 - and also the password is switched Additionally the Normal-Dial-Up-Window has been altered so I can not see the username and password as I normally do. All of these changes I can easilly put back to correct settings and use my system as usual... All of this wouldnt bee to bad if it wasn´t that after every call-up-session a new Cook Island number turns up and I have to fill in all my info manually again. I have used the latest version and the latest referencelist of Ad-aware 6.0 - it has removed a few things from my systems I also have run the latest edition and update from Symantec. Despite that this anoying piece of shit keeps coming back.. How can I stamp it out?? Tag: spam Tag: 50692

    - What's the real scoop on wireless security? Many articles make reference to the vulnerability of going wireless (in my case, a wireless 802.11g-enabled PC to DSL router connection inside the house). But what are the numbers? For example, in a suburban- type housing development, what is the range for someone to hack in? Should I be concerned about my neighbors or someone passing by on the street? Or is it wider, like a few blocks? I plan to install WEP, but I'm interested in what the vulnerability is without it. Thanks, dag Tag: spam Tag: 50665

    - Missing emails after latest security updates I noticed a post from Bill Bradley describing Remote Desktop issues after installing the MS04-011 thru MS04-014 patches. I just received an email stating that after the installtion of the MS04-011 thru MS04-014 patches, the user can no longer see any emails sent to him from the day he installed the updates (including the one I sent with the links to install them). I assume this was caused by the MS04-013 Outlook Express patch. Has anyone seen this occur? Better yet, has Microsoft released any info on issues that occur after the installtion of these patches?

    - Effects of Port Blocking on Apps Hi, I am considering blocking certain ports on my workstation that are well known to be used by viruses. For example I could block 2283 which the W32/Dumaru.ad virus listens on. I don't expect to be running any servers on this port However, some programs like Internet Explorer, occasionally use this port to go outbound From what I can tell, Internet Explorer, Outlook, MMC, and other apps seem to just tr ascending ports and if they can't connect on 2283, they'll connect on 2284. Is that true? Also, will blocking 2283 or other non-registered ports (i.e. i am not talking about port 80) for all communications have bad effects on any Windows/Microsoft programs Thanks Tag: spam Tag: 50581

    - Help with Possible Virus/Trojan? My Win98se machine has started to act very strange during the last week. I have the Microsoft Office Toolbar on the top of my Desktop which includes shortcuts to MSWord, Notepad, Windows Explorer, etc. When I try to use the MS Word shortcut icon on the Office Toolbar, Sygate Personal Firewall tell me that "Microsoft Word For Windows is trying to connect to crl.verisign.com (64.94.110.12) using remote port 80.....". I instruct Sygate not to allow the connection, then everything slows down and it takes a long time for Word to load. When it finally does load, everything has slowed down and it takes forever to Open files, Save files, etc.. I have never gotten this warning from Sygate before and why would activating Word from a shortcut on the Office Toolbar, cause it to try to connect to the internet? I get the same Sygate message when I try to launch Windows Explorer from the Tool Bar. Sounds like some kind of Virus/Trojan/Hijacker has infected my computer. Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Mike H PS: I've run Norton Antivirus, Spybot, Stinger, and CWshredder. All are current. They don't find anything on my computer. Occasionally when I'm on the internet I get the "About:Blank" window on the bottom of my screen. I don't know if that has anything to do with the current problem. Tag: spam Tag: 50564

    - Can visit to website endanger security? I received a spoof email asking me to update my CitiBank details. It was obviously created by an oriental English speaker, but I was curious because the link therein led to an https: site (ie, secured site). So I had a look, and was redirected to an insecure site. I looked there, thinking they would have a form for us suckers to fill in giving away passwords etc, but the page was totally blank, and even though my browser said "Done" I still had my hourglass (but this often happens anyway). Has my curiosity made me vulnerable? I don't have a firewall because when I installed ZoneAlarm I didn't understand it. (I know... but all it seemed to do was list IP numbers and I just carried on as normal. I don't normally visit dodgy sites. Obviously I won't do it again, and yes, I do know what curiosity did to the cat. Patricia Tag: spam Tag: 50547

    - Spybot Search and Destroy 1.2---->Replacement for the program ? I have run Spybot since it first came out and love the way the program works. It seems to work well with Zone Alarm Pro and Ad-Aware Plus picking up the things the others miss. However...Not sure if the Spybot people are on a long vacation or too busy with Beta 1.3, but there have been no updates for almost 6 weeks (Since 4 March) and in the past, they usually have a new update about every week. Also they are not responding to email support, before they always did within a day. Does anyone know what is going on with them ? I hope Mr. Kolla did not "retire" as its a great little program, but no updates in this long a period is not a good sign to me. Anyone have an alternate to Spybot that I can use until (if..) Spybot starts updating again ? I have seen a few names tossed around in here, but never really paid attention to the comments as Spybot had been working so well for me. Looking for something that works well on Windows XP Pro (I am also using the SP2 RC1 release) Thanks ! -- Tedd Riggs PDA Square Content Developer www.pdasquare.com Redmond, WA Tag: spam Tag: 50543

When I attempt to Synchronize the server and approve the updates, the server appears to synchronize correctly, but when I go to approve the updates, I receive this error message: "No Packages ar available to be approved. This may be a because a synchronization has never been performed of because your Software Update Services Server is not functioning correctly." The approval log appears to work fine, but the approve updates page does not... Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Stewart Tag: spam Tag: 50535
