[R33S2]

is this a typo that ms word spell check missed?

The reason I am a fitter welder and not an IT pro is I couldn't put up with end users (uneducatable stupid endemic retarted skatterbrains) and I make more Money (tried to hire a tradesman lately?)

Anb no i can't spel but htis site heelps http://thesaurus.reference.com/

How could MS get through a firewall? mmmm let me see well first u use ur puter dont u? Ah u do don't u! so u use software 2 visit certain sites that when u get there u stay at 4 a while then move on. While on this site u dload and upload bits of info (its the only way a packet sending network works) what sort of info do think the site wants and remember this info is on every packet u send

first network type next (important one this one) OS type

now if MS has an alert on this feedback and (its allready through your firewall by use of the same dll that ie uses) it matches your id with reg id its all embedded in the software

This is my theory and nobody is allowed to use this theory:mad:

Wow, its true.. They really do give out MCSE qualifications to anyone!

Cheers for being a living, breathing proof of concept for my theory "MCSE requires no sk1llz". Now I have a link to send anyone who disagrees:

[Lazy-Bastard]

lol@your location

have you checked the children......

[The Dan]

yeah, kids are fine. I had to read the boy a bedtime story but he skidded off to sleep pretty quick

[R33S2]

Some members here are probably wondering how I could sprout such rubbish and be believable, I'll tell you a story and make up your own minds.

This mate of mine bought a computer in 1987 and with it came DOS 5 and if you know anything about d5 you'll know that it doesnt do much except run your computer. So he had to buy software to do anything with it, now not being of the overly funded type he asked around and people "loaned" their software to him and since that day till 2004 he found ways to never pay for software, he even learnt how to crack games and such, in all this time he upgraded his own computer to run about a year behind the current "best" and had 4 computer game net setup at home in 1997 all on loaned software and connected by gateway to intenet. In time he learnt that some people dont like ppl who do this and had to fortify and so the story goes.

Along comes XP uses that for about 3 mths and thinks one day this needs updating, so update he does and lo and behold he starts having unexpected shutdowns when online, only online so he reformats, reloads no good. this has all been behind a firewall on same computer so he setup a dedidcated firewall and runs through that to internet still the same. Gives up and buys xp on harddrive for half hardlynormal at the disc shop, a sad day for him as it marks the end of a golden era.

Oh and the firewall thread i posted was utter rubbish it "may" have worked in the early days but with the strong encryptions of today it cant happen, just thought I'd see where it led.

There has been many MS updates which makes a system unstable, so this is proof of nothing. Often XP ( Crap IMO) offers you a driver update which is unsuitable and forks things, seen it on several friends' PC's, a rollback of driver fixes this. As for Windows update, well if you go there with a blacklisted serial your not to smart to start with.

[Nexus9]

So your "friend" has a dodgy version of windows which he updates from the MS site after which it then starts to crash as soon as a particular service starts and runs when he is connected to the internet.

Therfore ergo that translates as someone at the evil Microsoft corporation monitoring when certain systems come online then logging in with their secret MS login that passes through external hardware firewalls and crashing the system.

Or alternatively, as Merlin said, it could be that an update has a problem with one of the service's that runs whilst on this particular hardware setup when on the net, which is consequently fixed by a later update which the dodgy version can't download as it is one of the updates that are not available for blacklisted serials.

Hmmm which is more likely...

[Yotis]

Agree with what Merlin has mentioned...

modr33s2, As to your friend's system keeps shutting down after going online has he checked his event logs for any weird rpc errors? What I am referring to is blaster worm or a variant of it. You friend's problem sounded very must the syntoms of a blaster worm/variant. Firewall or IDS would not help in anyway at all as the worm is attacking your friend machine's rpc service locally.

Nothing is impossible these days when it comes to security, regardless of how strong of an encryption is used. As encrytion is being cracked everyday it is the reason why there is a constant drive in developing stronger encrytion. The safest system is one that is physically secure ( in a bomb shelter or something) with nothing but a keyboard, mouse, monitor and the box connected.

For a normal computer user online, a firewall and anti virus software is just the basics that everyone should have. You would be silly not to at least have these two if your on the internet and of course you have to ensure that they are setup appropriately at the start and also is constantly updated.

The comment of linux is more secure than windows xp or the other way around is rubbish. How secure the machine is depends on how much time the person using the machine take initially to setup and perform the daily task of checking the system. Linux used to be by default more secure as one of its versions was the first to integrate firewall install and easy setup as part of its install. XP did not offer integrated firewall until service pack 2 was released and also at the same time Windows software is more globally used and hence is more targetted for attack.

Just thought I'd add in my 2c worth.

What did the error logs say when the system crashed? .... I know you being a MCP and a "mate" you would have checked these for "him".

Or did the error logs not eventuate because the Evil MS monitorguy wiped the logs after he crashed the system with his secret MS login so as to cover any traces ... or replace the real error logs with some fake ones to look like it was something else other than the intrusion of privacy that it really was?

your conspiracy theory is a great story though
