I was clicking around, trying to reduce the security setting in Windows in order to download a needed .exe file. Can't remember what I did but now a dialogue box opens for every .exe file I try to use. This brought to my attention the regsvr32.exe file that looks like its not supposed to be in the system32 folder and could be malware. issues: turning off the dialogue box that opens everytime i open a program and identifying and deleting malware especially the regsvr32.exe.I notice the regsvr32 isn't listed as a running process in the HJT log - because I cancelled it in the dialogue box instead of allowing it to run. Which is a good thing. I'd like to return to normal and disable the open file dialoge box, but remove regsvr32 first so it doesn't run automatically.
This has started this week, every time I start up a window pops up. It has Open File-Security Warning on top The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software? Name: SysUpdate.exe
We are running VIP payroll and the program exe sits on a server and is run through a mapped drive. On one XP PC we get a warning message asking if we want to run the application or cancel. We do I tell XP that it's ok to run this app?
When i start my computer i get a open file security warning and when i click open it just keeps coming back it or an svchost.exe from c:windowssystem32microsoft.
I just re-installed IE and since then have been getting the"Open File: Security Warning" messages for most programs.I try to run (local ones, NOT downloads).I did disable this before, but have forgotten how to. Googling for the answer only came up with how to disable this for files on a network (by adding to zone) and when downloading files in IE. Could anyone tell me where in the registry this can be disabled? Also, I have Home Edition, so no access to gpedit.msc
For the last few weeks, I get a security warning msg when I open certain programs. It says something about it being from an unknown publisher and am I sure I want to open it. It's really annoying... I've been using these programs for yrs. Can't it at least remember my answer when I say yes and not ask every time I open them? Anyway, this has only started happening recently, so I'm sure it's the result of some setting that has been changed by a Windows update. I looked in the Control Panel under Security Center, but that only seems to deal w/ internet security. So how can I turn this off?
Is there any way to stop this security warning when I run a downloaded file? I've turned off and disabled the security center, and I still get this warning every time I run an "exe" file. I understand the risk, and I'd like to stop this warning from appearing.
I screwed around with some of the settings with my firewall and stuff and now when i go to surf the web, on most of the webpages this warning comes up ... "Security Warning: The Current Webpage is trying to open a site in your Trusted sites list. Do you want to allow this?"
I disabled this before but that was like 2 years ago and I don't remember what I did. How do you turn off the security warnings that come up when trying to open a downloaded file? The things I found while googling didn't work.
I am getting this message: Windows has blocked this software because it cannot verify publisher. I have 2 computers set exactly the same. I can open page on one computer and not the other. I've gone into Tools, IE, etc. etc, unchecking anything to do with ActiveX, but nothing is working.I am trying to open a virtual tour of a hotel. I've disabled pop ups. I can't download ActiveX. Everytime the ActiveX bar comes up, the Windows blocked software message comes appears.
Is there a way to get rid of those security warning prompts when I'm tring to install programs? I've disabled everything in the security center but that didn't help.
this is not a BSOD because the message is only my backgroud, my computer functions fine despite it. I ran a whole slew of antivirus stuff and killed off a bunch of nasty buggers, but the message didn't go away.I went to Display Properties and there were only two tabs, Screen Savers, and Settings. It was missing the Appearance, Themes, and Desktop tabs. So I went on here and found something about changing the registry files from 1 to 0 in a couple places. Well I got the tabs back, but I still cannot change my desktop background. It's all greyed out. My computer is functioning fine now and is armed to the teeth against new stuff, but it still has that annoying BSOD look-a-like.
Since my last auto matic update from Microsoft on 28th Aug 2005,I keep getting a Security warning in the bottom right hand of my Monitor.On Checking on it,it refers to Anti Virus & I have Nortons Anti Virus With Auto Updates when ever I log onto the internet.I have run Nortons Anti Virus & my Computer is all clear.How Can I get rid of this warning.
The past week or two everytime I go into folders in my My Documents the system starts acting up. If I do a search or open a folder within a folderthe start toolbar at the bottom of window disappears for a while then when it finally comes back, the search or folder I had open is crashes and is gone.I've also been getting thiw warning from SecretMaker Security Watchdog whenever I reboot the computer.
I am running Windows XP and I get a security information window that pops up and says "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?" How do I get rid of this? Under Internet Options?
If your running server versions, add the following reg_dword in the location shown and set it to "0". This will help keep an icmp re-direct attack from taking over your server. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters] "EnableICMPRedirect"=dword:00000000 Works in both Win2k and XP
I'm not sure why but there has been an annoying increase in the number of those Windows Security Information messages that pop up requiring me to select Yes before I can proceed with what I'm doing. To be specific, the message is named in the upper left hand corner "Security Information" and the messages states: "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?" It then requires me to select "yes" in order to continue. I had to click it three times in one instance just to logoff the web site I was using. Is there anyway to disable this "feature" as I can never recall a time when I haven't selected "yes".
How can I disable the windows service that prompts me when an executable file is from any unknown publisher? The attached image is a screen shot of the security warning. I don't care about any of the associated risks with disabling this, I've already disabled the windows firewall and security center, I just find this pop-up quite aggravating and would like to know how to make it stop
Every time I turn on P.C. I get a warning of a virus of some sort,my emails wont open as they are blocked for some reason by the security and are either deleted or cannot be opened

How is this possible? I know there are ways through GPO but is there any other way to disable Windows File Searching? A user requested to "DISABLE FILE SEARCH SO IT DOESN'T RECORD A HISTORY".
I wrote this Guide on disabling System File Checker in Windows XP Professional. Sorry it's not in text form. You guys want it simple so anyone could do it, what could be simpler than looking at pictures (besides a program that will do it for you, which I've thought about...).http://www.overclockersclub.com/disablesystemfilechecker.shtmlContact: ProfessorXP@Yahoo.Com
I have McAfee internet suite, and I have it set so that I have to enter a password to open internet-based Applications. Problem is, I forgot my password.
I was having this problem on my old install of XP, which desperately needed a new install. In any case, I'm now using a freshly installed version of XP, and everything has been running perfectly for about 2 weeks. Suddenly, this one problem reappears: The File Open / Save As dialog box (aka Windows Common Control / comctl32.dll) takes forever to open (20 seconds to 60 seconds). I just did a chkdsk and defrag, and that did not solve the problem. Also, there are no network drives connected which could be slowing things down. This happens in both MS programs (such as Notepad) and 3rd party programs (such as Firefox).
Why can't I get XP to open every folder using the "Details" option? I do have it set so that it remembers (most of the time) to re-open that folder with the file view it was in when it was closed, but I want XP to open every new and old folder with the "file details" view. Seems like a simple thing, but I can't get XP to understand that's what I want.
Recently I reinstalled XP Home Edition and XP Pro using a slipstreamed installation disk contain SP2 and the latest hotfixes. Following those installations I found that I could not easily access any Drive Image (pqi) files that were created under the newly installed operating systems. The images could be restored but only after booting from the Drive Image rescue floppies. I also was not able to open and explore any of those images using Drive Image ImageExplorer. Images created prior to these installation could be opened and restored within windows with Drive Image. To access the images created under the new OS installation I had start the Home Edition in the safe mode and the go the image file, right click and select security. Then I had to add my user name under services and then check full control. In the XP Pro system I had to disable simple file protection and then change the security settings in a similar manner. This all had to be done even though the user has full administrator rights. I've been using Drive Image 2002 for the last 2 years for backups on both Home Edition and Pro versions of XP so this behavior is something I believe is new an possible a result of security updates included in the new installations. I really need access to these images from within windows but I also need to retain simple files sharing on my XP Pro machine.
I have a subdirectory which shows as "Read Only". As administrator I access file properties window and change read only attribute. However, when I look at file properties again the "Read Only" attribute is still set
I am trying to install HP Image Zone Plus but I keep getting a yellow bar with the writing "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click for options..." When I click there is the statement "Allow blocked content" - when I click on this, nothing happens - the message just reappears. How can I correct this problem so I can load my program? I don't know where to start.
I have 4 year old Dell E1505 with XP Pro.I have no clue what I was doing that propagated this large file(38.06 GB) called EVREM. It only appears when I do a defragment with various defragmenters. It's the only file remaining that won't defragement. I do not have anyway to access it, isolate it, or find where it is within my laptop. My various anti-spyware and security software does not recognize it as harmful. It's slowing down my laptop. There is very little information available about this problem on the net. Your site has had a few posters with similar circumstances with EVREM.
