• Microsoft Security Essentials - call legitimate?

  I was called by someone to notify my that my Microsoft Security Essentials has been booting not updates.  They want to help me solve the problem.  The person was Peter Matthews 888-287-7885.

  I want to confirm that the call is legitimate before making changes, especially since my computer doesn't say not that I have a problem with the update and that it is up-to-date.  Should I return the call and do what says Mr. Matthews?  It is common to receive these calls?

• I installed firefox Aurora, but can I uninstall it and go back to Firefox 11 if I find the 11 version better? Will I lose the history and bookmarks?

  I installed the new version 13, called Aurora. I currently have, but if I start to dislike the new features (until now I do! But I have to ask) can I 'come back' to the 'good old' Firefox 11?
  Will I be losing my data and settings? History and bookmarks?

  My computer is a Pentium M 1, 6 GHz (2004) and version 11 seemed very stable. I installed Aurora is because I wanted to try your new software.

  Yes, you can uninstall the aurora and install the latest stable version whenever you want without losing the personal data because your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

• KB2289161 - a security update for MS Office 2010 has no

  I make it work on all my boxes of XP SP3.  We have recently upgraded to Office 2010 (some since 2007, some new facilities brand.)  Later last night was a brand new installation and update of XP.

  All other updates for the products and the BONES have been treated successfully.  It's the only update that is untreated (and not reviewed by one of our boxes.) Repair by SBS 2008 x 64 (if that makes a difference).  Have you tried both by the update service, as well as by hand.

  Tried to go in a box and update the User Shell Folders registry settings, but no impact.

  UPDATE - did get an error code: 0 x 80246002

  It was for me that it was for OneNote, but no matter - the NDR was what was so annoying.  I finally called Microsoft support (updated and security related calls are free!)

  It's what helped on my new machine load, but still not able to rename Catroot2 unless I'm in Mode safe on other machines (something STILL locked, even when the Cryptsvc process is stopped.)

  Fortunately I have only 15 machines:

  1. stop Windows Update services (could also do it from the control panel services)

  o 1 clickStart, click principally made programs, click Accessories, right-clickcommand promptand select run as administrator.

  o 2. If you receive auser account control notification simply click continue.

  3. o at the command prompt, type the following commands and pressENTER after each command.

  net stop wuauserv

  net stop cryptsvc

  4 o please do not close thecommand prompt window.

   

  2. Rename the Windows Update files (could also do it from the Explorer window)

  1. o at the command prompt, type the following commands and pressenter after each command:

  o 2. ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 Catroot2.old

  o 3. ren %systemroot%\System32\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

  o 2. 50202

   

  4. restart 50202 requires it

   

  5. apply the update of Microsoft 2289161

  As I said, MY machine is OK, the others to accept the office, subsequently update, but VERY manually intensive.

• Problem with opening files and programs after the attack "rogue security."

  Earlier this year, I met a rogue security program called Windows Security 2011. I had removed it, but I'll still have some serious problems. I found another user here, who had a similar encounter: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_programs/exedirectory-file-association-problems/5dcd9044-8b57-43e0-a3bc-0c966326f0da

  "But since the incident, the PC has struggled to open .exe files. If I open Mozilla Firefox, for example, it will ask me to specify the program to run it with. I can browse the OS and find the firefox.exe and open it with that, but it won't allow me to check the box "always use this option. "
  
  
  It's exactly the same problem that I have now, as well as some sections of the control panel not working not at all, but there is no answer about what to do after the malware has been removed. Is there a way this can be fixed now?

• Rogue security program

  I recently received a pop-up message stating that my laptop was infected by malicious viruses and downloand, a security program called XP Internet Security 2012 in order to solve the problem. I assumed that this message was a typical malware program and not responded to the request. I quickly discovered that the message / malware blocked my access to the Internet. No matter what I did I could not access the Internet to learn how to remove malicious software. Because I got the message from malware that I accessed the Internet from my desktop PC to see how I could remove the malicious software and unlock my access to the Internet. Before I could try some suggestions things have changed. My Firewall and Internet Security has been disabled and I can't change it back. I can't go to Microsoft Security Essentials to run a virus scan. All my desktop icon shortcuts have been disabled. I can't create new shortcuts. I can't start one of my programs in my program menu. I get messages from "Application not found". I don't have XP Internet Security malware messages or it may been hidden. I can access the Internet now, but that's all I can do. I also receive messages from XP 16389 file system error when I try to repair my PC using the suggestions I did research. I can also use my Windows functions such as creating new files or military or start any program MS Office. I'm totally stumped. Does anyone have a solution to my situation?

• My router is actually secure?

  I'm wondering if what follows what I've done is the best possible, if there is any means possible to improve security:

  I have a WRT320N

  • SSID: just let it spread. Delete this show will not improve the overal security. SSID will be shown even if you Devil shows periodic.
  • Change the default name of the router to something that leaves not hear it's location or name brand/type
  • change the default password (the one to access the router from your browser)
  • Disable remote management: don't want any person who uses a Wi - Fi connection to try to hack my router
  • Disable Upnp, the automatic configuration of the router has possible security leaks.
  • use WPA2 Personal (just choose the highest encryption) and using the combination of numbers and long, uppercase letter, tiny you can think off.
  • MAC filtering can be set on, but hackers can clone the MAC address, the extra security is questionable.
  • Isolation of the AP: prevent users from wi - fi on my router to access to eachother, isolate all users connection wi - fi to eachother.
  • turn on the SPI Firewall: blocks incoming network packets from the internet. And have not started by me: internet to port 80, my firefox tries to open a Web page, these type of incoming packets will be accepted by the router without the internet to my computer.
  • Use webfilter and prevent any network with proxy, java, activex package to switch my router: at this moment I'm block the proxy. I'm filtering the Web casts.
  • Block all ports except 20,21,25,53,80,110,443. (port range is 0 to 65523) Block protocols UDP and TCP for all IP 192.168.0 to 192.168.0.254 addresses so only the mentioned ports are allowed to use.

  Thanks for helping out.

  • Re SSID broadcast.

    1 correct. Even with the SSID broadcast disabled the router will still broadcast a recurring tag that means a wireless scanner will resume immediately the existence of a wireless network.

    2. the SSID is transferred in plain text in the connection with the router. A network sniffer will learn the SSID for the moment that a (legitimate) device connects to your network.

    3. by sending packets of thugs to the AP, it is easily possible to dissociate a connected wireless forcing a new association. This way you can learn the SSID immediately.

    1-3 means a SSID of the AP wireless with SSID broadcast disabled is unknown as long as no wireless device is connected to the router, because there is no way to force a link to a legitimate device demand. Some people believe so disabled SSID broadcasting is an important way for increased security, particularly when the wireless is not used very often. Of course, if you don't need the wireless for most of the time you need to turn off completely.

    However, to disable the SSID broadcast technically breaks the standard 802.11 standard and is known to cause problems of connectivity and stability with some wireless cards. Therefore, I usually recommend is not to disable the SSID broadcast.

  • Re "the router by default name". If you mean the SSID, of course, change is important. Especially to prevent your wireless devices to connect to the router of your neighbor who is using the default SSID.

    It is not necessary to change the name of "router" on the master installation. It is only necessary to connect internet and only if required by your ISP.

  Change the SSID or "router name" will not change the MAC address on the wireless. The first half of this MAC address will reveal the manufacturer (Linksys or Cisco)

• Relative to the remote management. Disabling remote management is good. Of course, make sure that it really works. Some routers have a bug in the firmware that opened the web interface for the internet, regardless of this setting.
• Re UPnP. Fix. It must be turned off at any time.
• Re personal WPA2 with AES encryption only and a strong password is the best wireless security, you can have it right now. Password can be up to 63 characters.
• Re wireless mac filtering: MAC addresses are always transferred unencrypted (with WPA2) and are easily cloned. So, a simple network sniffer is able to collect the MAC addresses of legitimate devices that you can use to connect.
• Re of isolation AP can be used if no wireless - wireless connection is necessary. Of course, if an attacker has hacked your wireless network, it can try to hack your router here. The protection of the web interface of the side LAN is quite low.
• SPI Firewall re. Must be enabled. This prevents the internet router.

What you write in this topic is protection"because of the NAT, or because you are using private IP addresses. NAT, technically, does not block unsolicited inbound traffic. It simply drops unsolicited inbound traffic because he doesn't know what to do with it, that is, he doesn't know where to deliver unless you configure port forwarding automatic or similar. By design, NAT is not a security mechanism as its design is intended to allow the connections, not to block them. Some implementations of (older) NAT tried to deliver inbound unsolicited by some heuristics. Some (older) NAT implementations have features to support FTP (to do FTP works fine through a NAT router) which led to any open port on the router.
• Re webfilter: depends. Will cause problems with HTTPS web sites like HTTPS requires security to - end.
• Re blocks all ports except 20,21,25,53,80,110,443. Well depends on once again. In your list, for example, you block the port 995 (POP3S) and accept only 110 (POP3). Depending on your e-mail client and the pop server, this can lead to a connection that is not encrypted between the client and the server because port 995 is not accessible. Similar with the port 25 (SMTP). Some web servers running on port 8080 or other ports that will not or only partially work (because some content is on a webserver with the different port number).

  Technically speaking, your block probably list more will affect you and your ability to use the more secure protocol which may be currently on your block list. In addition, as most of the people have ports 80 and 443 open for outgoing traffic most malware uses to talk to the outside. So your good list that the idea seems good probably won't help you.

  So I would say in most home networks such a blocking list based on a list of a few exempt ports will really not help your security and for the most part will cause problems for you and nothing else. Such a list will work in a business setting where you can refine the traffic authority very well. But to use domestic and general habits that it won't really work for navigation.

  In addition, I think that you can not set up such a list on a Linksys router. You can only block the ports, but not all ports except a few.

• Another extremely important point missing from your list: always change the router password (admin) in a password strong. But I guess you already did this, too.

Overall, I would say that all you have reason...

• CTS 1.7: Audio snap (call RTC) not heard on all sites

  After the upgrade of our endpoints of 1.6 to 1.7, we met multipoint where we added a PSTN user.

  The audio of the RTC user has not been heard at all the endpoints.

  As soon as we shared an audio presentation was OK on all sites.

  I have a nice SR with that.

  Someone else runs into the same problem?

  See you soon,.

  Martin

  Hi Martin

  BU and DALE were able to reproduce the problem.

  This is incorrect behavior:

  CSCtk61376    CFD: Endpoint MP call RTC does not sure audio component software snap-participant

  Conditions: CTS and CTMS running 1.7.0 software.  Secure Audio component software plug-in point of endpoint is added in secure multipoint call.

  Possible workarounds:

  1 - presentation-sharing is started from endpoint that has made audio snap. Or, Hold/recovery on the endpoint, which makes the audio complement will restore audio to the audio complement in all the endpoints.

  2. - do not use secure audio audio component software plug-in, if possible.

  Default is integrated in version 1.7.1
