  2. Strange Requests

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    hi team just been to g4 and in the last 2 days i saw 2 posts that defies conception .the firsr was some one wanted the be able eject the cd from the cd rom from the command prompt.

    and now some one wants to get rid of the sys tray.in regards to the sys tray .

    i rang the local microsoft branch

    and this was the reply

    sys tray is an embedded part of the win sys.

    and to remove it would harm your sys.the things in the tray are what helps tp make your compt operate smoothl.

    there were a few replys to that post and all of the posters said it woud be bad for your sys.he was a school boy.

    the thing that got me was the young man wouldnt take no for an answer .he had his mind made up.

    now my Q can that tray be deleted.without any adverse affect on your sys.

    hey we learn all the time .microsoft said you can hide it but cant eliminate it

    bloody confused

    hi team look what i found beware out there

    marty

    The slimeball virus writers are at it again, posting fake notices to Usenet pretending to be "Microsoft security updates", but are really trojan virus programs.

    Microsoft does NOT post updates on Usenet, and does NOT e-mail updates.

    Microsoft updates are ONLY available on their official website.

    BOGUS...

    Microsoft All Products | Support | Search | Microsoft.com Guide

    Microsoft Home

    Microsoft Client

    this is the latest version of security update, the "September 2004, Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates all known security vulnerabilities affecting MS Internet Explorer, MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express as well as three new vulnerabilities. Install now to help maintain the security of your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could allow an attacker to run executable on your computer. This update includes the functionality of all previously released patches.

    2. What's a WOOT? – WORM_WOOTBOT.BJ (Low Risk)

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    WORM_WOOTBOT.BJ is a non-destructive worm that takes advantage of the

    Windows LSASS vulnerability in order to propagate. It drops a copy of

    itself into default shared folders of unpatched machines. It steals the CD

    keys of popular game applications, Microsoft Windows Product IDs, and Yahoo

    Messenger IDs. It updates itself by creating the file 1.BAT and executing

    it afterwards. This batch file downloads a copy of the worm from the

    Internet and then executes it on the compromised system. This worm is

    currently spreading in-the-wild and infecting systems that are running on Windows

    95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.

    Upon execution, this worm drops a copy of itself as SERVICED.EXE in the

    Windows system folder. It executes its dropped copy and then deletes

    itself afterwards. It then adds several registry entries, that allow it to

    run automatically at every system startup.

    This worm exploits the Windows LSASS vulnerability to propagate. This

    vulnerability is a buffer overrun that allows remote code execution and

    allows an attacker to gain full control of infected systems. This

    vulnerability is discussed in more detail on the Trend Micro Security Advisories page

    at: http://www.trendmicro.com/en/security/advi...es/ms04-011.htm

    This worm copies and executes itself on vulnerable systems and searches

    for the following default network shares:

    ADMIN$

    C$

    D$

    IPC$

    It steals Microsoft Windows Product IDs and Yahoo Messenger IDs, as well

    as the CD keys of the following popular games:

    Battlefield 1942

    Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons Of WWII

    Battlefield 1942: The Road To Rome

    Battlefield 1942: Vietnam

    Black and White

    Command and Conquer: Generals

    Soldier Of Fortune 2

    Soldiers Of Anarchy

    The Gladiators

    Unreal Tournament 2003

    Unreal Tournament 2004

    This worm appears to possess backdoor capabilities. It updates itself by

    creating and executing the file 1.BAT. which downloads a copy of the

    worm from the Internet and then executes it on the compromised system.

    thanks for the replys team .im limited in enticing posters here because i dont have a site and i wonder between boards trying to coerce posters. recently i talked 2 members here and one turned out to be from nz like me so i acheived some thing for his sake id like to keep his name anon.but he goes betewwn boards and ends up here.

    so i agree we must not let this board fade away.i like it here so i can relax .

    i got into a war of words with some one who disagreed with me.and started slanging instead of talking it out with reason.over the use of cookies .

    i learned the cookiy thing from people like pete, chappy, goliath.ect form techtv cfh

    so wasnt going to back down.

    ive since recieved a pm appoligising for our we thing .tho ide forgotten about it once ide signed off .so yes we must keep this board going.like some one says there are dam good people here starting with beluga.

    you take care
