Hi All, I recently purchased a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop installed with a Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium. It is just two weeks old. I am getting this error.

I tried booting windows in safe mode with networking option it works fine, if I go back to normal boot mode I end up land…

Re: "Windows Security Center Services can't be started"

Hello Everyone. I am Brutium and I am new here. I surely hope someone will be able to help me. I am currently running Vista Business edition (32 Bit). Recently I noticed on the taskbar a red shield with a white X in it. Scrolling over this it says "Windows Security Alerts". I tried to open it and change the "Automatic updating", since it has (by magic, Microsoft magic that is...) turned from on to off. I went through all the necessary steps, but untimately I get a message that says, "Security Center can't change your automatic updating settings". I tried to find a solution on the internet, but without success. I am now turning to you and I hope you will be a…

Hosting security
by Guest Monkey- 1 reply
- 114 views
At present we host our own web servers in a hosting centre. The web servers are on a workgroup with a Cisco firewall between them and the back-end database servers (SQL). Obivously only the database ports are open on this firewall. We are in the process of changing all our equipment and I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on 'best practise' for this sort of environment? From an admin sort of view, it would be easier if all on same domain and SCOM would work better that way but this would open up our SQL servers to possible attack. Thanks

- 119 views
I am using Vista Ultimate machines and after I install SP 1 on them I am unable to run programs or install programs over the network in my domain. When it asks for admin credentials, I provide them and then I get the message, "The account is not authorized to log in from this station." I was able to do this before I installed SP 1 and if I uninstall it I am able to run or install programs over the network. I keep install files on a server 2003 computer with SP 2 on it.

Brontok.KO worm help
by Guest Jerry Hughes- 8 replies

Hello, I have a worm that I don't know how to get rid of. My AVG free security kicked it out while my Super Anti-Spyware software was scanning. AVG did not kick out the worm while it was running alone. According to AVG, the worm was moved to the "vault" and I later deleted it. When scanning the computer again, AVG does not kick out the worm while Super Anti-Spyware runs again but when restarting my computer, I am asked for my email address and password when opening my Yahoo mail and I keep getting a pop up telling me that my Microsoft Indexer has stopped working. This indicates to me that the worm is still there. Any information or help with this is…

Is there a way to block users from copying data from shared network drives to external drives or CD's? Would even settle for monitoring to log files to track those users that attempt to take data off site. Or both would be great.

- 119 views
I have been having a running battle with virtumonde. Spybot picked it up and said that it had deleted it, but it came back soon after. I have run avast (picks up nothing), livecare scanner (picks up Trojan:Win32/Vundo.gen!Q), says it cannot delete all files), ad-aware (picks up nothing). I have just tried running all these things again is safe mode and the computer seems to be running better, and spybot no longer picks up virtumonde. I have attached a hijackthis file. Could somebody who understands this please have a quick look and tell me if there is anything in it to suggest that the problem is still there? And if so how to get rid of the thing. I have seen …
