Security Still Shows Deleted Antivirus Product as Installed by Jo
Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I installed AVG antivirus and had problems with an error message every time Vista started (this is under PreRC1/5536). So I uninstalled AVG. It was deleted from the programs list and no longer in the programs folder. But the Security Center didn't give me a warning, so I checked it to see what was happening. It still had AVG listed as...

Administator security by Kent
I wonder if I am missing something in how the new security is designed in Vista. When I installed Vista it asked for my logon on name and set me up as an administator account. It asked no questions about the type of account or if any other users were to be added. When I trigger an event that requires admin level permissions I get the dialog box that asks for confirmation, but no request for...

Administrator IS certainly disabled in my machine. On entering Safe Mode I am prsented with Administrator and Username. If i select Adminstrator I get the message 'Adminstrator is disabled....'.

I just uninstalled a early beta of Symantecs Genesis Norton 360 from my Windows Vista Pre-RC1 build 5536 as it wasn't working properly. Now Windows Vistas Security center isn't turning back on, obviously it was due to the program disabling it. The error i get when I go into Windows Vistas Security Center is it says "The Security Center service is turned off." I click the "Turn on now" button...

File Acess Rights by Chriz
I recently installed Windows Vista Beta 2 on my computer to try to get an understanding of its operation before its release. I keep an image of my current system @ all times so it's very easy for me to revert back to XP Home. Here is my issue. While I was using Vista, I would get alot of security warnings about file access. It would tell me that I had no rights to certain files and would...

Antivirus software necessary? by Chad Harris
Thanks for this John. I couldn't make Avast work in 5536, I think if I configured Driver Veriifier not to inspect its software drivers it would--several people are having that problem and P-Cillin works great. Since Vista has a decent firewall configurable with the Advanced MMC snap-in, I didn't load the whole firewall Available in P-Cillin 14. Appreciate this. It solved my Vista 5536 and...

How to TCP/IP filtering options for IPv4 in Vista? by Pushkar
Hi, I was trying to set TCP/IP filtering options through Advanced settings of IPv4 protocol in Vista, but I found that there is no options tab available there. This tab was there in Windows XP. Is this setting disabled for Vista or is it done through some other way? I have attached the image of advanced settings tab for XP and Vista. Apart from options Tab, Registry values that were used in XP...

Need Repros, UAC breaks Domain GPO or Logon scripts. by John [MS]
I've been tracking an issue regarding UAC breaking logon scripts and I need Repro's/scripts/examples. From what I've seen if you have your script in the User/Logon GPO it pops UAC on some operations such as installing antivirus or executing remote monitoring clients, cancelling on the UAC prevents the domain policy from being fulfiled. In some cases I have seen that moving these scripts to...

Trend micro by Chad Harris
Hi Mark-- It's strange that you posted this on 8/25 and posted the exact same thing that I answered on 8/27 A lot of us have been looking for something besides AVAST since it won't install on Build 5536. I don't know the particulars of Trend and Vista, but MFST is saying they have a partnership and it will work. See:

Anti Virus Program by Chad Harris
I think the chances of people who can't install AVAST having a "corrupt install of Vista" particularly if Vista is working relatively well that has anything to do with that problem are slim and none Jason. I have Vista 5536 working fine, and a lot of us have exp. problems on it installing AVAST. One solution is to go to driver verifier by typing verifier in the run box and disalbing...

Fixed hash algorithm in CertEnroll library by Roman Sedov
Hello! The problem is fixed hash algorithm (SHA1) used in CertEnroll library. That's why we can't create a certificate request using our Cryptographic Provider (CSP), that implements Russian Crypto-algorithms but not SHA1. X509Enrollment.IX509CertificateRequestPkcs10 interface has HashAlgorithm property that is used for signing PKCS#10. But after creating PKCS#10 CertEnroll creates...

UAC configuration ? by Bill U
I believe that someone posted a link to some UAC configuration information that looked useful, but I can no longer find it. Could someone please direct me to some documentation that will help me avoid some of my current frustration with UAC, before I turn it off for good. Thanks.
