    - Password not accepted I followed the instructions to limit access to certain sites by installing ICRA. Now, I can't even open IE, I get the message that the content advisor will not allow me to open the page. It is not accepting the password I entered. I deleted ICRA from my file. But had to get here via Netscape. Any suggestions? Tag: virus Tag: 32994

    - 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. Dave Tag: virus Tag: 32982

    - 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. Dave Tag: virus Tag: 32976

    - FIREWALL question In general, when setting up a firewall, what is the relation in opening up internal ports vs the external when you want to allow traffic from the internal to the external? i.e.: if i want users on the internal network to send smtp traffic (port 25) then do NEED to open port 25 on BOTH the internal and external interface?, or just the internal? And for web browsing, web ssl, pop3, etc...? Tag: virus Tag: 32966

    - ICS & TCP/IP filtering I have a PC which conntects to the Internet via a dial-up modem. It also connects to a home LAN. I share Internet for my LAN with ICS. I don't want LAN user using some Internet service such as IRC so i use TCP/IP filtering in the advanced tab of TCP/IP settings, but the filter only block connection with specified destination port while connecting to the PC, it does not block traffic with the same port from LAN user to the Internet via ICS. Users's still able to use IRC. I run Windows XP - Service Pack 1 with all patch updating. Tag: virus Tag: 32959

    - pc keeps re-booting after applying ms03-026 patch Hi, I really hope someone can help me with this one - I have a braodband connection from NTL, my pc was infected with a virus via NTL's network. They sent a disc with the above patch and an MSBlaster removal tool from Symantech on it. I followed the instructions but the tool reported no virus. I also ran an exe supplied by NTL via the net called FixWelch.exe - this did report a virus and said it had been removed. Since then I have been unable to use any MS application without the pc rebooting after a couple of key strokes. Has anyone heard of this, even better knows how to fix it. thanks, Eve Tag: virus Tag: 32955

    - Block users from finding IP address using MSN Messenger Hello All, I have come to know that people talking to you on MSN Messenger can find out your IP address using netstat or a packet sniffing software. How can I block people from doing that ? 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 ? Any help will be great in this respect, thanks a lot in advance. Imran. Tag: virus Tag: 32915

    - Patches for MS03-035 through -037 won't install! Hopefully someone can help me with this. This relates to the above three patches, all of which are for Office 2000; I'm running it on Windows 98. I've never had any trouble installing Office-related patches before. However, instead of the patches seeking for the Office 2000 CD's on my CD-ROM drive (which I know they're supposed to do), only my floppy drive is searched. Of course, this fails and the patch responds with an installation failure message. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks! --Mark Tag: virus Tag: 32907

    - Error 1721 - unable to install NIS'03 I continue to get the above error message (Error 1721) while attempting to download the new Norton (NIS) 2003. I have followed all instructed attempts to correct the problem - ie; clean boot, reinstall, unregister and reregister the MSI. I have even returned the new disc for another, all to no avail. If for some reason the newer version is not compatable, is there another software for security that is recommended? My system is a Win 98 2nd ed., I had no problems with the earlier version of Norton. Any ideas anyone?? Thanks. Tag: virus Tag: 32822

    - MS0-039 install problem I rolled out the 039 patch to my NT 4 Terminal Servers over the weekend and all but one installed fine. The other pops up an access is denied error when it tries to copy over rpcss.exe file. I made sure the permissions were fine (logged in as domain / local admin) but I can't get past this error. Event logs tell me nothing, ntfs permissions on system32 \rpcss.exe are fine, of course I can stop the service. heyalp ... Tag: virus Tag: 32820

You could, but why?

If you are in doubt about the effectiveness of a particular product, I'd
recommend doing an online scan with a competing product--there are at least
half a dozen of the antivirus vendors which offer free on-line scanning, and
these provide an excellent "second opinion."
