Important note on the Microsoft Patch
The Microsoft Patch just prevents that the trojan is installed automatically on the system. If a user with admin-rights (Microsoft Patch is installed) opens an infected LNK-file by mouse click, the computer will be infected - if no virus scanner has been installed. In order to avoid such an infection it is strongly recommended that users only come with power user rights. Power user don´t have the necessary rights in order to start code from another drive. Additional security gives the use of an actual virus scanner.
 Great Work .LNK Files are there to Launch Applications NOT the Trojans sitting in the .LNK extension!

  • Microsoft Security Client OOBE stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D

    I keep getting this error in my event Viewer and I removed Microsoft Security Client a few weeks ago and replaced it with Bitdefender 2012
    Session "Microsoft Security Client OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D
    I am also getting these aswell...
    Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. The system administrator should review the list of libraries to ensure they are related to trusted applications.
    Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0x0811960D92F5.  The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the
    network address (DHCP) server.
    A problem prevented Customer Experience Improvement Program data from being sent to Microsoft, (Error 80004005).

    If you do not want to reinstall Microsoft Security Essentials to stop this problem, there is a step which you MUST, I repeat, MUST follow.  As indicated above by Zuhl3156, YOU MUST, again, MUST shutdown the security counter.  This is a problem
    when you uninstall MSE, it does not remove the security counter.  This is the reason that everyone says to delete the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client\Support\EppOobe.etl file.  This file is used and created by this counter.
    If you have uninstalled the MES, then you MUST delete the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client\Support\EppOobe.etl.  But, MOST IMPORTANTLY, you MUST go into into Computer Management and drill down into:
    System Tools -> Performance -> Data Collector Sets -> Startup Event Tracing Sessions
    Then, in the frame to the right on that window, select Microsoft Security Client OOBE, right click on it and select Properties.  Then DISABLE it (uncheck the Enabled box).  Then, when you select OK, if you have uninstalled MSE and NOT reinstalled
    it, the entry in the right frame will 'magically' disappear.
    This is a problem with the uninstall of MSE and needs to be resolved by Microsoft (hopefully they are reading this).  It has taken me DAYS to discover this, and many different attempts to resolve this.  But, apparently, this has now resolved my
    problem.  I have seen performance counters cause many problems in my experience with Windows, and am very confident that this resolves the issue.
    I cannot thank Zuhl3156 enough for his suggestion and my willingness to try it (I noticed 'performance counter' and jumped on it).  It seems to work wonderfully for the moment.
    I hope this helps someone else who has spent days trying to chase this nightmare down.

  • Microsoft Fixes Critical Windows Bluetooth Bug in July Patch Tuesday

    Microsoft has patched a critical vulnerability in Windows 7 and Windows Vista related to the Bluetooth stack in the operating system. The bug is the lone critical vulnerability fixed in today's Patch Tuesday release, and Microsoft officials said it's unlikely that it can be used for remote code execution.
    The patch for MS11-053 fixes a vulnerability in the way that the Bluetooth stack operates on Windows machines. Despite the low likelihood of it being exploited, it's the most serious of the 22 vulnerabilities Microsoft fixed on Tuesday.

  • Your system is missing a critical Windows security patch (MS12-020) required to gain access to this system

    Hi,
    I am trying to install VPN Client from my client site. While installing i am facing the below error.
    Your system is missing a critical Windows security patch (MS12-020) required to gain access to this system. Use the link below for more information on installation, or open Windows Update and install all available critical updates. When you're finished updating
    your system, log out and try again. If you're still having problems, contact your system administrator.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2621440
    I went through all the related sites but still i did not find any solution. Under Windows installed updates i could see the security update for Microsoft windows (KB2621440). If its already exist why it is not taking this security patch? 
    Kindly guide.
    Best Regards,
    Yadav Kankanwadi

    Hi,
    Based on Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-020, this security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities:

    lower your font size unless you have difficulty
    MS Security Essentials is excellent
    Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

  • Access Connection​s Problems With Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials

    There appears to be a conflict with Access Connections and Microsoft Security Essentials which causes Microsoft Security Essentials to generate high page faults and high CPU usage, and prevents normal operation of Access Connections.
    After fresh install and reboot Access Connections would not launch, and when cursor was moved to the taskbar, the cursor pointer changed to a spinning loop.  Clicking on the Access Connections gadget did nothing. Looking at Task Manager, Microsoft Security Essentials program msmpeng.exe was experiencing 5000+ page faults per interval.  Terminating msmpeng.exe immediately caused Access Connections to launch.
    System configuration: Lenovo Thinkpad x200s with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 RTM (installed with a fresh install) with all current updates, and all updates from Leovo including Access Connections V 5,42 Build 6JC725WW,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is a workaround to fix the issue
    1) Launch MS Security Essentials
    2) Click on the "settings" tab
    3) Click on "Excluded files & Locations"
    4) Click "Add"
    5) browse and add the following exceptions
     a) C:\Users\Public\Lenovo\Access connections
     b) C:\Users\Public\Lenovo\Access connections\AccConnAdvanced.html
    6) Click "Save Changes"
    The issue is also resolved in AC 5.5 which is posted to the web
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?lndocid=MIGR-73682
    Can someone please test both solutions and let me know if the issue is resolved.
    Thanks

  • Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Rogue: Windows Emergency System

    The Malwarebytes research team has determined that Windows Emergency System is a fake anti-malware application. These so-called "rogues" use intentional false positives to convince users that their systems have been compromised. Then they try to sell you their software, claiming it will remove these threats. In extreme cases the false threats are actually the very trojans that advertise or even directly install the rogue.

    I had been getting a popup that said it was Windows Securiy Essentials 
    claiming it had found these malware files…
    trojan psw win32 launch
    hacktool win32 /welevate.a
    adware win32 fraud
    After doing a lot of digging  I finally did find instances of these files on the machine and removed them. As I recall the process involved some registry hacks. In any event. I thought I had gotten rid of them but it appears they are either
    back or they’re not originating from my machine.   
    I’m still getting this same issue but its’ only from one site so far. I have run trendmicro’s ´Titanium<sup>™</sup> Maximum Security”,
    also Malwarebytes Premium plus, “Microsoft Safety Scanner” and of course Windows Defender.
     I had originally been using theTrendmicro
    also ran HijackThis ( found nothing ) and had only recently switched to Kaspersky after reading over some reviews 
    on the two softwares. However Kaspersky didn’t seem to want to play nice with Windows 8.1 so I switched back to Trendmicro. Cant know for sure but I suppose it could have been the malware issue causing problems for Kaspersky. So now i’ve run just about
    everything I can think of. The thing is none of these programs find anything on my computer. Everything I have
    Trendmicro,
    Kaspersky,
    Windows Definder,
    Microsoft Safety Scanner,
    Malwarebytes,
    Hijackthis
    Says my machine is clean and free of any malware or viruses
    Whatever this thing Is, it’s invisible nothing seems to be able to find it

  • Microsoft Security Client OOBE Error plus 2 CSRSS Processes?

    This has to be a bit abnormal, but apparently this concerns what happened 30 minutes ago, System just flat out Froze up and then after the restart an error that received the Microsoft Security Client OOBE Error Code 0xc000000D had happened in the Kernel
    Tracing event, following the restart 2 CSRSS Process are now present, normally it should be 1 as a priority, and in turn that tells me an Exploit that Microsoft Might have missed some how hit my system and this issue is now concerning.

    Hi,
    Do you still get OOBE Error Code now?
    Regarding  your problems getting Microsoft Security Essentials OOBE error code 0xc000000D.
    Please navigate to C:/program data/microsoft/microsoft security essentials/support/  , and then locate the file: "MSSEOOBE.etl" and simply delete it.
    The MSE will recreate it after your restarting your computer. That could solve the issue.
    Please refer to the following thread for more details.

    My Windows 7 has two csrss processes too.
    We can locate the file in the folder C: Windows/System32. Please test.
    If they are located in other folder, we could suspect them as virus. I suggest you to conducting a Antivirus scan.

  • Policies missing in SCM Windows 8.1 Security Compliance Baseline v1.0

    Hello,
    I have installed SCM 3.0.60 (downloaded from this link:
    Microsoft Security Compliance Manager) on a Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine. Because I could not connect my VM to internet at the moment, I imported the Windows 8.1 Security Compliance Baseline (downloaded from this link
    SCM Baselines for Windows 8.1, IE 11 and Server 2012 R2 are now live!) and the baseline attachment in SCM. The import process ran well and I then created a custom baseline based on the Win8.1 Computer Security Compliance 1.0 baseline (using the Duplicate
    action in SCM). During my customization I have noticed that some policies were missing from my custom baseline. After verifying the original baseline I have noticed that the policies were missing in it also. I connected my VM to the internet and clicked on
    the Download Microsoft baselines automatically action in SCM. SCM downloaded additional baselines (Office 2013, SQL Server 2012,...). I was expecting the Win8.1 baseline to be updated but it was not. The policies are still missing and I cannot complete my
    customization. For information the missing policies that I've noticed are the following:
    Under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\File Explorer
     All policies are missing except "Configure Windows SmartScreen" and "Turn off Data Execution Prevention for Explorer"
    Under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Sync
    your settings theses polices are missing:
     --> Do not sync
     --> Do not sync app settings
     --> Do not sync browser settings
     --> Do not sync desktop personalization
     --> Do not sync on metered connections
     --> Do not sync other Windows Settings
     --> Do not sync passwords
     --> Do not sync personalize
    Under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\KDC these policies are missing
     --> KDC support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring
     --> User forest search order
     --> Warning for large Kerberos tickets
     --> Provide information about previous logons to client computer
    It seems that theses policies are not present in the Package.XML file that is included in the Windows-8.1-Security-Compliance-Baseline.cab.
    Does anyone ever experience the same issue?
    Anyone know if there is an updated version of the Windows 8.1 Security Compliance Baseline ? (the version downloaded from the link i supplied above is v1.0)
    Regards,
    François
