Adobe installer failed because he cannot access this directory. I looked at it with explorer and it tells me, that it cannot display the current owner. I used AccessEnum to display ACL of the entire disk and there are a lot of directories below C:\$recycle.bin for which permissions cannot be listed. Anybody know how this could happen?

*Security Issue? with Windows Audio Endpoint Builder* Hello. I was tracking down why my *svhost.exe* (used for internet & network Connections) was being used to access a whole bunch of Picture files in one of my folders. Files that were not being used by any other program or service at the time (not even the File Manager). It was running...

DEP (data execution protection) should make the computer immune to all buffer overflow attacks, right? Has anyone set DEP to always on for all processes (vista 32-bit)? Are there alot of crashes or even corrupt files?

Something has happened to my personal Administrator account that makes believe I have lost permissions on a number of areas throughout the Windows system. For example: an attempt to cleanup the registry using certain program is denying my account access to do certain cleaning tasks that need to be completed. I can run program under the Vista Administrator account, but why is my personal...

When you turn on file and printer sharing, both file and printer sharing are turned on. Is there a way to turn on printer sharing only? by default, c$ is always shared on windows XP pro, I am not sure about vista/windows 7 home premium. So there is some security risk with file sharing, while there is less risk with printer sharing. The PCs are behind the firewall, however, there is a...

Defender is turned off and notice says that it can only be turned back on via "GROUP POLICY". How do I do this? Information on group policy seems very complicated and I'm hoping there is an easy solution to turning Defender back on. Help!!! I am running Vista -- WILDTOPIARY

Hi, all. I'll have to log into the default administrator account, because I can not do anything under the current standard user account status. I went to the safe mode, and tried to log into the admin account, but the password is forgotten. I built the reset password USB disk under the account before. Now I follow the instructions for resetting the password. However, the window popped up,...

I received an email claiming to be from Microsoft Awards Center saying that I won $2m. There IS an attachment which I WILL NOT open. Would it do any good to report this to someone and/or send it to an abuse center?? This email was filtered and placed in my Junk email folder by Windows Live Mail. Thanks, James

I scanned my computer with Windows Defender every day last week and I still get the message you haven't scanned your computer for 9 days.Is there a way to reinstall Windows Defender?It isn't listed in programs and features for Vista.

This is a Windows 7 question, but I’m hoping the answer is the same as for Vista. I'm the sole user of my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 computer. There is no security problem of misuse by others. By default, the Windows 7 file structure has set up as users: All Users Default

I downloaded a RAR file, and while the file did have the files I wanted it also had an "extra" folder, and when I clicked on it I think it's safe to say it installed something on my computer. I ran Adaware, and Spybot Search and Destroy, and removed what was found, however, at start up "My Documents" still opens every time (sometimes in two windows). Here is the log of HiJack This. Can you guys...
