    - FYI Worm Alert! The following may be of interest to those concerned about the safety of their PCs. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP mcmaltby@hotmail.com As you may already know, there's a new worm very rapidly spreading, called Mimail. Antivirus updates are being developed or released as we speak. The email will look like the one below: ========================== FROM: admin@yourdomain.com SUBJECT: your account ATTACHMENT: message.zip Hello there, I would like to inform you about important information regarding your email address. This email address will be expiring. Please read attachment for details. Best regards, Administrator ========================== The usual mitigation techniques should work -- installing updates as they're released, user education, blocking email or attachments at gateway points based on any of the characteristics listed above, configuring corporate firewalls to alert on or block outbound connections on TCP port 25 from all IP addresses that are not approved internet email servers, etc. http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_MIMAIL.

    - Somebody is spoofing I recently received five email rejects from AOL that seem to have originated from my system and OE at first glance. However, the versions for OE and OLE do not match my systems. The addressees are not in any address book on my system. There are (according to current virus scanners and some other email related utilities) no applications or trojans on my system that can cause such a thing. What is even more interesting is that I currently do not normally send mail via MSN, due to my cable IP's port blocking. (A very small number of messages were sent out thru the MSN hotmail selection during a recent pop3/passport outage earlier in the week. ) The cable IP mail server does not appear in the header information. It looks like someone sent stuff to AOL users, spoofed my address and the MSN mail server. Is anyone else having this sort of problem? Or, is this (I hope) an isolated incident.

    - passwords I want to have the startup process include a request for a password. I have the computer connected to a router for a small network. When I start the computer, it doesn' ask for a password but goes directly to the normal desktop display. I have to then log-off and back on to get the password screen to come up and which then allow access to the network. Is there a way to set it up to allow access to the network upon the initial startup? Thanks for any help! BA Tag: quick launch Tag: 203171

    - WidowsME Crashing when computer is idle & previous posts. HELP Hi I posted general crashing problems re ME about 10 days ago. I get a whole variety of error messages, ranging from page faults to general protection errors. As I wrote before, I have performed a clean install (about 6 times on my friends computer). The installation gave no error messages and seemed fine. I think people found it difficult to help me because of the lack of any pattern in the error messages. After the last clean install, ME crashed even before I had chance to install the chipset drivers & video drivers. I have now noticed a slight pattern. Although the computer will crash at any time, I have noticed that it crashes when left idle with just the desktop on. A typical error message at this point is: Error OE: 0028 : 0070042B. I have checked the memory with DocMemory and also checked that the module is seated securely in its socket. I followed up the one suggestion that was made in this N/G and ran the computer from the EBD and left the help files on screen to see whether it was an overheating problem. It did not crash. It will however crash when started in Safe Mode. Selective start-up is of no help. All devices are working OK in device manager and no problem devices are shown in system inf. I have the standby and power down settings, set to never in windows and set to user defined in the BIOS. I just cant think of anything else to try in order to get this computer working for my friend. The computer has an Advance 6T mainboard, VIA Apollo PLE133T Chipset VT8601T: OS Name Microsoft Windows Version 4.90.3000 Build 3000 OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name SPAIN System Manufacturer LEGEND QDI System Model VT8601 System Type X86-based PC Processor Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1100MHz GenuineIntel ~1102 Mhz BIOS Version Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG Windows Directory C:\WINDOWS Locale United Kingdom Time Zone GMT Daylight Time Total Physical Memory 119.44 MB Available Physical Memory 2.95 MB Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB Available Virtual Memory 1.82 GB Page File Space 1.88 GB Any help would be appreciated.

I have also reinstalled the OS once but have same reocurring problem. Subject is, "VMM (01) + 0000DFD5 Error : 0E : 0028 : C000EFD5" senders name : Gene A link to this is posted at the bottom of this message. I have freezing problems, VMM (01) and VMM (12) errors, like the one listed above. I have already run scandisk thorough many times! Along with scanreg fix and others. This has not solved the problem.

Because QL folder is empty.
Copt the ie and oe shortcuts into the QL folder and see if they appear in
the QL space in the Taskbar.
