White Box On Desktop In Upper-Left Corner Of XP- Certificates Button At The Bottom
Jan 30, 2008I have White Box on my Desktop In Upper-Left Corner of my screen that I cannot delete or otherwise remove. I am running Windows XP, and McAfee and Ad-Aware say I have no viruses. In trying to get rid of this box I have discovered that I can expand and reduce the size of the box from the lower right hand corner, and if I drag a web page shortcut icon from my desktop over the box, the web page is displayed. When a web page is being displayed inside the box there are scroll bars on the right and bottom sides to scroll around the web page. If I click on a hyperlink within the box, my default web browser is opened to the link. At first I was using IE, and then I switched to Firefox, and it made no difference. Periodically, the web page being displayed inside the box will disapear, along with the scrolling bars, leaving behind a white box.
When there is a web page being displayed in the box I can right click on the box and I get a menu with the following options: Back, Forward, Save Background as, Set Background, Copy Background, Set as Desktop Item, Select All, Paste, Create Shortcut, Ad to Favorites, View Source, Print, Refresh, Export to Microsoft Excel, Print, Properties. Some of these items are grayed out. If I select properties, there is a "General" tab with the name of the web page, Protocol Info, Type, Connection, Address, Size, Created, Modified. There is a Certificates button at the bottom in addition to OK and Cancel buttons.

Getting Security Warnings That My Security Settings Has Blocked?
Feb 13, 2009I haven't been to this site for a while and I noticed I'm getting Security Warnings that my security settings has blocked of an ActiveX install. I know how to change those settings, but am reluctant to do so. Can anyone shed some light on this. I occasionally will get similar warnings on other sites, but it is consistant on this one. Once in a while IE6 will hang up on this and I'll have to got to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedNational Security Vs. Personal Security?
Nov 2, 2006many of the security holes found in software (especially Microsoft Windows) might have been deliberately put there as back doors into our computers for easy access by our governments. I guess my question is this.Will total, absolute, 100% security ever be possible or will our government always demand a back door in? It just seems that if any back door exists, it will eventually be discovered and exploited.

Oct 24, 2009I had a old computer given to me, (and I mean old, fixed it up just to do email and do letters etc, doubt it would cope with anything else) anyway I got it going and managed to load the OS on to it, (XP Pro) checked and all drivers where present so XP Pro had all the drivers (shows how old the mother board is) anyway before installing service packs etc I went to turn some bells and whistles off and configure settings as I like them. (This computer has not yet been connected to the Internet, I have not even put an Ethernet cord into it yet, so not a virus) I go into the Control Panel and there is no security centre icon there, this is the first time I have come across this. I have searched the net but only articles or forum entries I have come across have been for if malware or other nasties had been removed and then noticed the icon missing, so this does not apply to me as its a fresh install, and this computer has not been connected yet.
Ideas running through my head is maybe updating drivers, or something to do with the bios, going to check the hard drive itself tomorrow, a bit hesitant to try things unless I know its going to help other than this everything seems to be opening and closing as per usual.It just amazes me with all the installs I have done (in the hundreds +) and this is the first time I have had this happenAny ideas will be much appreciated, oh and have not loaded anything else on yet, its just the basic OS, decided not to go any further with installing of anything else till I have sorted this
How To See Security Tab In Home?
Oct 18, 2004How Do I see the Security Tab in XP Home?This tip provided by Gilles Pion. Download the x86 (Intel) version of the Security Configuration Manager and save it to your hard disk.Double click the SCESP4I.EXE file you downloaded and extract the contents to a temporary location on your hard disk.Then open the folder you extracted the files to and locate the Setup.inf (Setup Information) file.Right click Setup.inf and select Install.After the installation is finished, reboot your computer.Adjusting the permissions on a drive, file or folder can lock even the Administrator account out of that drive/file/folder.Deny Permissions take precedence over Allow Permissions, regardless of your group membership
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs The Firewall Enough For Security?
Sep 8, 2005I know this is an old topic, but I thought I'd try to get the latest opinions on this. I'm trying to decide whether to get another firewall. Everybody says the problem with the XP firewall is that although it controls
incoming connections, it doesn't control outgoing connections. I already have the free ZoneAlarm firewall on my Win2K computers, which works fine. And I could add it to my new XP Home Edition computer. But apparently some people complain that ZoneAlarm adds log files that grow large, etc. etc. so I figured I'd avoid adding another firewall *if* it wasn't really necessary. What's the current consensus, if any?

Jan 26, 2005Recently 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.
