    - Pop-ups after downloading Microsoft's recommended updates Recently I downloaded some of Microsoft's recommended updates that were suppose to provide more security. During the download I began to receive pop up messages with phone numbers and web address that I could contanct to get rid of the messages that I am now receiving. Ever since downloading the Microsoft updates I have continued to receive the popups. I already have Firewall software that I purchased to prevent popups, and this is the first time I had problems like this. Does anyone konw if there is a security flaw in some of Microsoft's products? How do I get rid of these popups? Tag: "unsafe attachments" Tag: 23568

I am so tired of its continuous pop up while on the net I am ready to delete the entire software. Is there anyway I can get rid of the pop up and keep the basic security? Is there another security better than this one? Dave Tag: "unsafe attachments" Tag: 23564

    - Encryption gone after installing MSIE update I am using Internet Explorer and Windows 98. I got the usual Microsoft Update screen, yesterday, telling me there was a critical update available for my IE. Dont remember what version I was using, but I upgraded to version 6. Now, the cipher is set to 0-bit. I used to be able to pay my credit card online (which I believe requires 128-bit encryption), but I can no longer access that screen because of security reasons. How do I change the cipher or whatever it is I need to change to get back to the security level I had before this update? Thanks for your help. Tag: "unsafe attachments" Tag: 23563

    - Email claiming to be from Microsoft Just wanted to mention an email I received, claiming: "Microsoft User this is the latest version of security update, the "July 2003, Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates all known security vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express as well as five newly discovered vulnerabilities. Install now to protect your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could allow an attacker to run executable on your system. This update includes the functionality of all previously released patches." It has an attached .exe file, which I'm sure is *not* what it claims to be. Just wanted to give a heads up since no doubt there are many users out there who don't know enough to avoid it. - Andy Tag: "unsafe attachments" Tag: 23554

    - Getting certificate context properties Hi all, I am developing a small app in C++ and I need to list all the certificates in the system store, in a List View, like the one displayed in the CryptUIDlgSelectCertificateFromStore() dialog. I have successfully enumerated all the certificates using CertEnumCertificatesInStore() but I can't seem to extract all the bits of information from the certificate context, i.e. Issued to, Issued by, Intended purposes, Friendly name, Expiration date and Location. The only pieces of information I have been able to get so far using CertGetCertificateContextProperty() and CertGetNameString() is the Issued to, Issued by and Friendly name. Can anyone tell me how to get the remaining properties? Kind Regards, Chris Tag: "unsafe attachments" Tag: 23509

    - NT server share ownership and permissions When an NT server share was set up, the group 'Everyone' owned the share. Hi All, The share has subdirectories that are not permissioned to the group 'Everyone'. Does this mean that if a user in the group 'Everyone' wants to change permissions on the sub-directories they have no permissions over they have to take-ownership individually (e.g. Owner = 'SheildD')? or Can the user change file and subdirectory permissions anyway because they are the owner of the share by being part of the group 'Everyone'? Thanks guys. Tag: "unsafe attachments" Tag: 23476

    - Pop-Up Windows How does one get rid of pop ups. I get a lot of dating service, sex, reducing and loan pop ups. It is most annoying when I am in the middle of a letter or game and one of these windows over rides whatever is on the screen.It is also embarrassing to return to my computer several hours later and find a sex ad in the middle of my screen. I've been able to use the "My Computer...Add/Remove programs" on a couple. But, most of these new pop ups don't appear on the add/delete program screen (at least not in any form I can recognize) so I can't remove them. Where can they be found, haw are they recognizable from regular program items (ie. do they have a peculiar file extension etc.) and how do I get rid of them. If there is no easy way, is there a program that will do the trick. Tag: "unsafe attachments" Tag: 23430

    - strange error We have about 5 NT machines that have been acting very strangly over the last few months. It started with one and seemed to "spread" to the others over a few weeks. I was checking the Event log on 2 of them, and they both have the same error several times in the same day, It read The browser has received an illegal datagram from the remote computer QA771C to name OUR_COMPUTER on transport Nwlnk. The data is the datagram. I replaced our computers name for security reasons. The remote computer had many different names, I counted 9, and it looks to be something like a port scan or something like that, because I have gotten this error over 50 times in under 20 minutes.

After receiving the DB via CD, quite a few of the objects(macros, forms, etc..) aren't there. Is this due to the DB have security applied to it ?
