A Few Fix-It notes

Posted on 1:38 PM by Unknown

Not really fitting in a particular category, these might be of use to folks looking for tips, or software.

  • Newsletter #75:  How I Saved the World from the F1MAN113 Trojan – Mark Minasi has a great dialog on how he tracked down a non-existent Trojan on his system, and made some great observations in the process.  Good info for anyone working with System Restore files.

  • chml: a tool to control Windows Integrity Levels – Mark Minasi has also recently released a new version of CHML tool.  This allows admins to look at a file’s Windows Integrity Level as well as make deeper modifications to it than are available from Microsoft’s own tool provides.

  • "Fix it" – The Next Evolution of KB Articles and WER  - Ask the Performance Team blog. Microsoft is now making available “quick-fixes” via KB tips.  These allow users to download a special software fix package and run it to apply the hot-fix or suggestion instead of having to decode and follow technical steps.  It’s a nice move, provided that the users still are applying the correct fix in the first place.

  • Fix it for me blog – Microsoft blog by the Fix-it team that outlines their purpose and which KB’s have been updated with the “Fix-it” software download fixes.

  • Bitdefender and GData delete winlogon system file - News - heise Security UK – not again!

  • Computer Repair Utility Kit - Technibble – Great all-in-one download package for key system fixes and utilities.  Be warned. Some dangers lurk in here for the non-system admin savvy.  Spotted via this great TechBlog: Be prepared! 57 great Windows repair tools all in one place post by Dwight Silverman.  Powered by the awesome (and free) Pegtop PStart utility.

See Ya!
