Thomas, yes it patched old hole and made things difficult to exploit.
BUT, nothing is perfect and they will just try harder to find more holes...I'm surprised it took this long
-
Neither security hole could be exploited by a remote attacker and both require Windows users to take actions,
It maybe a hole but I don't believe its serious.

Depends on what "sports" you want.
I was a coach for my two boys for 15 years in the various sports that they played in, baseball, basketball, and soccer. I was an avid fisherman, when I was younger I was a freshwater fisherman and went to most of the lakes in Maryland, Virginia and a few in the Carolinas. The past 20 years I do more saltwater and take a charter out of Hatteras or Ocean City for the big fish.
The reason I am here at TCH is the web sites I manage for the swim teams my kids participate in, a local league and their High School teams. I'm the "Datamanager" and enter all the times into a Database program and then export the results and post them on the web.
I am also a "Fantasy" player, currently playing Fantasy Baseball and just joined a Fantasy Football league. These are usually friends and people from work.
Yeah, I do a little sports in my spare time.

Try this page. Your "registry" is corrupt and you need to restore or replace it.

Was just reading this a little while ago. See if anything in there helps you.

I'm not exactly sure I understand the question but is a URL the "term" you are looking for?
www.****** is the default URL for your site.
subdomain.****** would be the URL or the text typed into the web browser to display the web pages placed in your subdomain.
URL = Universal Resource Locator

RTM tomorrow, distribution soon afterThe dates for Microsoft's long awaited Service Pack 2 are starting to solidify, according to Neowin. The service pack, which includes a slew of new security upgrades, should be released to manufacturers tomorrow, released to the web on August 10, and should hit the Windows Update service on August 24. Users unfamiliar with the changes in the pack should check out this Information Week evaluation, or read through this thread from our Security Forum.

Interesting and it followed my first impression of the headline..."that can't be a correct percentage". My previous job was with a Leading "Survey" company and I know that numbers can be very misleasding and if you ask the wrong question the wrong way can come up with very strange results.

Thomas, at this point I believe you need to give a little more background and information for what you are trying to do or want to do.
Why do you want to password protect a word document file (your example). Security is a complicated to understand and difficult to implement at times, and at other times totally unnecessary.
For instance, maybe you have a word document which has personal information in it and you don't want anyone on the internet to get access to it and read it. You are thinking, hey, if I password protect the file its secure. That may be true but totally off the mark. If your computer is secure, you have a firewall and none of your drives or folders are "shared", noone from the internet will have access to the file and will never be able to get to it in the first place. The only way to get access is to be sitting at your computer.
Now if this is what you are worried about, someone sitting at your computer and accessing this file, then you need to just secure your computer a little. Require a "user" to logon and supply their password and then set these users up with permissions. You then allow access to the folders where your special files are and only allow access for yourself.

Just a little faster Raul
I was also confused on what he was looking for and decided to explain the basics about NTFS and hope this gives him the answer he is looking for.
-
Thomas, NTFS adds security to your file system. You can then set this security down to the individual folder level or as high as the drive level. You do this by setting up user accounts and groups and permissions.
For instance there is a default user called admin which has full access to everything because it is in the admin group. You can then create an account for some one and call it Thomas and create a group called resticted and put this user in it. Next you would go to the file or folder you want and set the permissions you want this group to have. Now when "Thomas" logs into the computer that user will only have access to the files and folders you have setup for it to use.
There is other work that needs to be done for this system to work (like deleting the "everyone" group). You can also just set pass words on folders, but this is more work if a lot of folders an files need to be accessed. Granting access to groups or placing groups within groups makes this an easier task.

Thanks for the update and glad you found a "fix".

Different Software packages with load their own or different winsock.dll files and cause problems between different running programs. You run one program which loads its version of the file, you startup a second program and it loads its version overtop the other one. You then switch back to the first program and get and error because its not the right file anymore.
Try rebooting and rerunning WS-FTP and see if it works. If it does then just remember to close the program when done and reopen it again if its needed again. This way the correct winsock will be loaded.
If it doesn't then the winsock.dll maybe damaged and the WS-FTP program may need to be reinstalled.

As long as I don't get accused of spam, it's all good.
Well all the ones you see are being returned as undeliverable so those are only bothering you. The ones you need to be concerned about are the ones being delivered and not being blocked by spam software. There may be some getting thru that other people (who are not aware) will be calling you a few select words

Its not you, its one of the many virus's that have been running around. It takes your emaill address from someone else's address books and the places it in the from field. Sorry there is not much you can do but delete and weather the storm.

There it is...thanks Mike. I thought I looked under every tab. But I was really, REALLY pressed for time and was not in the mood to trouble-shoot a new "feature".
Some folks want and need it and its a good addition for most folks. But I have anti-virus scanning mail so don't think I need it. And I pretty much know what I'm doing ... or all these folks calling me to clean their systems have the wrong guy
-
Thanks, was wondering when they would publicly announce the availability. Its been available and I've had it and only have one complaint so far. It added a "security feature" to Outlook Express which grey's out suspect email attachments with extentions which "could" carry a virus.
I had someone email me and access database (.mdb) and I could not download it and was really pressed for time. I ended up forwarding it to my wife's email account and downloading on her computer. I do all the Beta testing on MY computer and hers and the kids don't get loaded till I give it the A-OK.
I believe there is a switch or option somewhere to turn this "feature" off, I just haven't had time to go look for it.
Otherwise I am liking what I see.

Secunia has confirmed the vulnerabilities in a fully patched system with Internet Explorer 6.0. It has been reported that the preliminary SP2 prevents exploitation by denying access.
Wow, its fixed before it was discovered...MS is getting better. Glad I have SP2

Raul, I haven't commented or disagreed with any of your points.
My feeling is that no browser is 100% secure, moving away from IE will not save the world and stop the hackers from writing exploits. As soon as the usage for other browsers surpasses IE, the tide will shift. The hackers will write for whatever browser has the most people using it so they can affect the most people.

Here is one opinion on SP2.
