Drew,
I have uninstalled everything that has been recently added but there is no
change in the problem. However I see that a 'hotfix' was installed by M$
on 15 May. I wonder if uninstalling that might be my answer? Is it
likely to be affecting any part of a local server, since it seems to be
related to the risk of remote code execution?
The Security bulletin is:
>>>>>>>>>>>Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-015 Vulnerability in Help and
Support Center Could Allow emote Code Execution (840374)<<<<<<<<<<<<<
And the part that may be relevant says:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Workarounds for Help and support Center Vulnerability -
CAN-2004-0199:
Microsoft has tested the following workarounds. While these workarounds
will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they help block known attack
vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, it is identified below.
. Unregister the HCP Protocol.
To help prevent an attack, unregister the HCP Protocol by deleting the
following key from the registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HCP. To do so, follow
these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type regedit, and then click OK.
The registry editor program launches.
3. Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and then highlight the HCP key.
4. Right-click the HCP key, and then click
Delete.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
What do you think??
