My aim is clear, i want to use the enhanced security of the smart card for accessing to a local pc instead of using the usual weak username and password. I know well that to perform this task is easy if you are connected to a domain. When you are connected to a domain you can request a certificate for Vista logon and once obtained you can use the group policy that require smart card for...

I can't see hidden files due to a worm. I delete this worm but the problem is remaining! What can i do for this?

Hi, there is so much information out there and different reviewers offer different suggestions. So what does Microsoft suggest? When I was using XP I had Lavasoft Adaware Personal 2007 and it worked fine. I have heard that Spybot is also good. I understand my system comes with Windows Defender (is that correct) but perhaps I need something else ??? Many thanks. -- Trish

Someone downloaded some nasty items into my desktop background list in the control panel. How can I delete them?

I needed to restrict some directories in my disks to admin-only access, so I cleared the Users and Authenticated Users permissions to the folders using the built-in Administrator account. The problem is after creating a new admin account, the new one does not have access to those folders even though it is part of the Administrators group, and only the built-in admin can still access it. Instead,...

A user account has the following permissions in a folder off the root that does not inherit permissions: Read & execute List folder contents Read and special permissions of Create files/Write data Create folders/Append data

Hi all, I bought a new Acer Aspire recently with Vista, and ever since creating a reminder in Windows Calendar it will bring up an error on startup and close the program. I believe this is a problem with something in the task scheduler settings, to do with the 'reminders' setting on the Windows Calendar section of task sheduler. It brings up this error when opened: "An error has occured for...

I have McAfee Internet Security Suite. I know how much most of you detest it, but I paid for a three-year subscription and I'm keeping it. Is it okay to leave Window's Defender's real-time protection turned on, or will it conflict with the McAfee?

How do I configure Vista to allow me logon to my home computer using a DoD issued smart card. It is currently used to access my DoD e-mail and for e-signature authorization, and has the ability to logon to DoD owned systems & networks. The card reader and 3rd party software (Activeclient) are both cuurently installed and working properly -- R.L.T.W.

I have recently had something called antivirus 2008 show up on my computer. I also just found out a friend of mine has one called vista antivirus 2008. It constantly interferes with the running of our computers bringing up popup boxes stating it is scanning and there are xxx number of problems. If you click remove or fix button it then asks do you want a license and for a fee ranging from...

Hii people!!! Right now,all of a sudden,windows warned me that windows defender was disabled. But I hadn't done anything. Can anyone explain me what it is??

I have Vista Busniess and am domain and computer administrator an this laptop. I have some file located e.g. in D:\Folder\Folder2\file.txt which I can easily edit, rename etc... I have full control of this file. Once I close the file, rename into file.html and open it then with an editor I can't save changes anymore, it says like "File/Device may be read only or open for write by another...

I'm not a huge fan of cross-posts, but I think these are the two most appropriate spots to put this, so here goes. I am trying to set up remote debugging from a copy of VS 2005 (SP1 for Vista) installed on my Vista enterprise box here at work. The target machine is a Windows Server 2008 VMware machine that I have successfully remote debugged applications on from my old XP box (currently in the...

I run portable applications often (programs you run directly off of removable media, e.g. USB flash drives) and it seems Windows Firewall doesn't always handle them correctly. Sometimes it works properly, other times it blocks the software, with the block notice referring to an invalid path like "C:14Path\App.exe" (the number changes every time) instead of the correct path of...

Ok. my daughter loaded a ton of spyware on my pc (just a note avoid myspace layout sites when you can). I got rid of everything except this one called virtumonde. I have tried several posted remedies and none work. Defender finds it and "removes" it but it comes back every time and usually before the machine even reboots. Most postings either say to buy THEIR spyware removal tool which I...

I have uninstalled a firewall (McAfee Security Center) and used the software provided on its web site to completely remove from a system! I found the solution somewhere before but can not find it and again it was just too simple! If I found it in one of many computer Mags I have then I know someone else as also! After looking all over the net many others have the same problem with once...

IE07 opens new sites/windows by it self. I suspect it's trojan/worm but Windows and McAfee could not dtect anything
