Computer security has many facets.  My basic recommendations for a home user are the following:   * Use a good brand of router, do not rely upon what the telco provided you to be secure.

Microsoft Update kb908531 breaks Explorer, IE, & Office

 

I spent 2 hours on the phone with Microsoft this morning concerning this issue. We have many machines on our campus that are being affected by this patch and I decided it was time to get to the root of the problem. Some machines have the patch installed and are experiencing no problems, while others can barely function. It appears this problem is caused by installing this patch on systems with Hewlett Packard’s Share-to-Web software, nVidia shell extension GUID’s, Kerio Personal Firewall, Roxio DragToDisc / Adaptec DirectCD shell extension, or SolidWorkds 3D CAD products shell extension. In addition to this information, the engineer I spoke with was nice enough to email me the current registry workarounds for each problem. I asked him for a URL to this information and he said he didn’t have one because they were working on a hotfix and had not posted this on the web. So I am. Here’s the workaround information provided to me to help resolve this issue:

 

—————————————————————————————————————————-

 

Resolution 1. HEWLETT-PACKARD’s Share-to-Web software

1. The Shell fix includes a white list - VERCLSID.EXE will not scan any extension that appears on this list, so adding the HP shell extension fixes the problem.

 

The following REG file can be applied to problem systems and will correct the problem permanently:

 

To manually enter the registry entries on a problem machine:

 

a. Log on to the machine with an account with administrator privileges

b. Goto Start ->Run

c. Type Regedit and press enter.

d. Navigate to

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Cached

e. Right Click and Select New -> DWORD Value with and enter the following:

 

For Windows 2000, enter the following…

{A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9} {000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

 

For Windows XP or 2003, enter the following…

{A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9} {000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 0×401

 

f. Set the Data of this value to 1

g. Close the Registry editor

h. Reboot the computer

 

Resolution 2. nVidia shell extension GUIDs

 

The following REG file can be applied to problem systems and will correct the problem permanently:

 

To manually enter the registry entries on a problem machine:

 

a. Log on to the machine with an account with administrator privileges

b. Goto Start ->Run

c. Type Regedit and press enter.

d. Navigate to

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Cached

e. Right Click and Select New -> DWORD Value with and enter the following:

 

For Windows 2000, enter the following…

 

{1e9b04fb-f9e5-4718-997b-b8da88302a47} {000214e8-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

{1e9b04fb-f9e5-4718-997b-b8da88302a48} {000214e8-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

{1cdb2949-8f65-4355-8456-263e7c208a5d} {000214e6-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

 

For Windows XP or 2003 enter the following…

 

{1e9b04fb-f9e5-4718-997b-b8da88302a47} {000214e8-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} 0×401

{1e9b04fb-f9e5-4718-997b-b8da88302a48} {000214e8-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} 0×401

{1cdb2949-8f65-4355-8456-263e7c208a5d} {000214e6-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} 0×401

 

 

f. Set the Data of each of these values to 1

g. Close the Registry editor

h. Reboot the computer

 

Resolution 3. VERCLSID.EXE process flagged by Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall

Note: There has been only one known report of this issue.

Kerio Personal Firewall Users can configure Kerio to allow VERCLSID.EXE to execute without prompting

 

The App Compat team is currently working with Kerio to request that they not flag VERCLSID.EXE.

There are lots of ways to get to Event Viewer, but I typically hit Start, Run, and type eventvwr. There are typically three logs available:

 

*Application: applications running under Windows are supposed to log their events here.

*Security: when enabled, Windows can log a host of security-related events, which are logged here.

*System: the operating system logs its events here.

 

If you click on the System node on the left hand side, you'll get something much like this:

 

 

eventvwr1.png

 

Each line on the right corresponds to one event logged by the system. The event type can be a "Success Audit", Informational, a Warning, or an Error. Information here includes the date and time of the event, the source (the Windows component in this case) of the event, the "category", an event number, the user account in use when the event was logged, and the computer name.

 

This is where things start to get a little disorganized:

 

*There are no hard and fast rules for what constitutes an error, warning or informational event. In fact, a properly operating system might show Error entries in the event logs.

 

*As you can see in this listing, "category" is rarely used.

 

*Each event is assigned a number. We'll see in a minute how to translate them, but for the moment, this display is rather meaningless to the casual observer.

 

If you double click on one of the event lines in the right hand pane, you'll get something like this:

 

eventvwr2.png

 

This is actually a fairly useful warning. The error number corresponds to the message displayed in the Description box. Here, my system is telling me that my clock might be off because it wasn't able to reach a time server for an extended period of time. Clearly, just a warning.

 

From my application log, however, comes another all-too-common type of entry:

 

eventvwr3.png

 

This "Success Audit" of my run of Office Update is trying to tell me something. Unfortunately "The Description for Event ID (0) ... cannot be found" is a very common Event Log entry. Often there will be additional data included that might give a clue as to what was being logged. In this case it appears to be a successful install of "VSDEBUG_6707_ENG". I think.

 

And that leads to how things get even more obfuscated in the event log: applications, often included the operating system itself, fail to log things correctly, or at all. In their defense, the event log has a very convoluted interface to program to, but nonetheless, while difficult, it can and should be used correctly.

 

So, should you care? Absolutely. The Event Log is far from perfect, but it can contain valuable data. At worst, it will tell you nothing. At best, it may hold important clues to problems you may be having with your computer, or the applications you're using.

 

Go ahead and browse around in the event viewer. Don't panic when you see lots of warnings or errors; as I said, even a functioning computer will have those. In fact, if you look while your system is functioning normally, you'll get a sense of what "normal" looks like in your event log. Then later, when you see items that seem suspicious, out of place, or seem to be related to the problems you're seeing, that's information worth paying attention to.

haha. the power defrag is a good tool. don't defrag too much, though. once every two weeks

or maybe once a month is fine.

Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>>

 

i went to the event viewer and i did not see anything relating to my problem which is...

 

my computer is fairly new with a DVD(+/-)R/RW drive. the program on my computer to burn dvd's is intervideo windvd creator. whenever i insert a blank dvd-r it says that there is no dvd rewritable disc detected and that i need to insert a rewritable dvd. when i go to my computer and check how much space is on the blank disc it says zero space available it works with cd-r... i really don't know what to do. bf says that i need a program or something but i figure that the program should work.

Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>>

 

i've experienced similar issues with windvd creator.

therefore, i only use it on the rare.

 

are you making the movies yourself or copying?

 

if copying, try dvdshrink.

 

if making them yourself, try using something like nero

 

all available via torrents and p2p.

Re: «<< 12Oz Computer Tech Support >>>

 

i've never heard them called firewalls.

in fact, if you check the faqs for both,

i'm sure you'll see that they never claim

that pg or protowallare firewalls.

 

 

well i think of it this way if the job they do is block IP addresses its pretty much a firewall so it might not be named that but they do the same job just in different ways
