Computer Security is kind of a hobby of mine and sort of bleeds over onto my job where I administer a small LAN of 7 computers. I have not seen even a hit since bugbear hit a couple of weeks ago, but I have attached a couple of indispensible links for maintaining a secure computer. Please feel free to contact me for any help I may offer. Safe surfing.

Lucky to use proper syntax, meself....then YOU go and do all this fancy schmancy stuff............all I got is words.

These are a few of the sites I get some of the gif's from. Currently I just link directly to them, but that is not good "netiquitte" so I am currently constructing a web page so I can host the .gif's and some photos. Hey Cathi, go to the the page under techanical stuff and play. To insert a gif find one you like, click on the "insert image" icon on the little toolbar amd insert the URL of the gif you want to attach. You can right click on almost any image on the internet, select properties and the URL, or web address is right there. Copy and paste it between the brackets of the insert image code , hit preview to make sure you are happy, and wala! Moving pictures. Have fun.

Okay... I've been watching this 'puter all day long, and it hasn't done anything but sit there like an oversized paperweight. Is it supposed to do tricks or something? Maybe a back flip or two? Or is this like one of those posters that just look like a bunch of weird dots, until you stare at it long enough and end up seeing something? Okay... I'm bored... I'm gonna watch something else now...

AOL........sheesh..........
Although we're "cable wired" the wife and kids still want to keep AOL accounts active, no matter what I say. Past two months, they've had the "Instant Kiss" of death three times, same result as yours. No real file damage, more of an Email barrage/DOS issue. AOL shuts down the account, you call up, and they issue a "really original" temp password, like "123". The second time, they re-activated our account, and before we could even get back in to change the PW, somebody logged in using "123" and slammed mail everywhere. AOL thought it was us. Dumb bastiches. Finally got it straight, but not until the kids Got the Idea not to fool around.
You'd think AOL would've corrected this kind of internal crapola, but they don't care. They don't need to! :) That's AOL for ya........
Gotta love it,
RJ

Yes, AOHell, aka Army of Losers. Remember when usenet used to be, well... useful? Then AOL connected to the internet.

Ya know... After all the trouble that AOL went through to buy Time-Warner, now there's rumors of them spinning off AOL to reduce debt, and help the books... Seem to me, the only thing that the multi-million dollar merger did was give the heads of AOL a different company to mess up. LOL

Cannot confirm this info but I thought i'd throw it out here just in case.
...................jonny
Subject: Friends greetings.com warning
I recieved this in an email and
I just want you all to see it...
A WARNING FOR ECARD USERS/RECIPIENTS:
There's a new card company called
"FriendGreetings.com". The following
also applies to:
laugh-mail.com
friend-cards.net
friend-cards.com
cool-downloads..net
friendgreetings.net
friend-greetings.com
When you (or your recipient) get(s) a
card notification from them and click
on the link, it will take you to their
site. You will be notified that you have
to install an ActiveX control in order to
view the card.
When you begin to install, the first thing
that pops up is what is known as a "EULA"
(End User License Agreement). It is very
long, and you will not read it. They're
counting on that. When you scroll to the
bottom of it and click "Accept," you have
agreed to the terms of the EULA.
Part of what you will have agreed to is to
have monitoring/spyware software installed
on your computer which will periodically
report a vast array of data back to the card
company. The other part that you've agreed to
is to have the software send mail to EVERY
SINGLE ADDRESS IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
In short, you've voluntarily agreed to install
a virus-type product on your machine. This is
not a good thing.
Since there is no virus in the email, and since
you're VOLUNTARILY agreeing to install the
ActiveX component, VIRUS CHECKERS WILL NOT CATCH
THIS.
Just a reminder: DO NOT RUN ANYTHING FROM THE
INTERNET WHICH REQUIRES A EULA AGREEMENT.
Ok here's the deal on this, I researched this
on Snopes which is a urban legend and hoax site.
This is what I found on there...
Claim: Opening a greeting card from
FriendGreetings.com can trigger a software
download that will automatically send an
e-card to everyone in your address book.
Status: True.
If you'd like to read everything they had
to say just go to www.snopes.com and type in
friendlygreeting.com in the search on that
page.

Both NAV and McAffee are talking about the e card virus, so it's probably accurate.
What I need to know is who out there can identify and write AV definitions so I can get rid of this fucking IRC trojan that won't go away and continues to reinstall itself after each and every format. NAV doesn't find it.
This thing is driving me insane....I manually removed most of what I KNOW is the trojan, but am stumped at what else to do since without a firewall, you're defenseless against it and you can't AV fix it cause the AV software doesn't find it

Spyware
A good tool to find and remove spyware (programs that send back personal data) is:
Ad-Aware
You can download it for free from
http://www.lavasoft.de/index.html
or
http://www.lavasoft.nu/index.html
Warning: Some advertisment financed shareware programs will not run without their spyware.
Happy spy hunting,
Ueli

Ummm see that's the biggest mystery and problem Drk, I DON'T HAVE any IRC programs installed on this machine and haven't been on IRC for over a year probably and never on my laptop.
I will continue to reformat until I can figure this crap out. If I had a firewall I'd be fine....the desktop is stopping the backdoor.subseven virus, but the laptop is wide open and getting nailed. We are in the process of reporting a few IP's that are traced with the internet security on the Desktop but currently NAV and a few other virus software programs have been unable to actually FIND this trojan on my system, even though I know it's there.
Until it's got an AV definition and removal tool, I'm winging it, and I really really hate winging it in the registry
