Lock your folder with Microsoft Private Folder

Microsoft Private Folder created a single folder on the user's desktop which, when opened for the first time, prompted the user to assign it a password. the user had to re-enter the same password to re access the folder . Microsoft Private Folder is a useful tool for you to protect your private data when your administrator or other people share your PC or account. It is assumed that Private Folder used strong encryption with a key based solely on this password to secure the data contained in the folder. This is in contrast to Microsoft's Encrypting File System, where encryption is tied to a keypair which can be made accessible to IT staff.
Private Folder used a system service called prfldrsvc (display name: Private Folder Service), the function of which is not yet publicly known.

What is PPPoE ?

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet local area network to a remote site through common customer promise equipment. PPPoE requires no major changes in the operational model for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and carriers PPPoE is configured as a point to point connection between two Ethernet ports. As a tunneling protocol, PPPoE is used as an effective foundation for the transport of IP packets at the network layer. IP is overlaid over a PPP connection and uses PPP as a virtual dial up connection between points on the network. From the user's perspective, a PPPoE session is initiated by using connection software on the client machine or router

Remove Desktop.ini & Folder.htt virus HTML.Redlof.A

Redlof is polymorphic virus that embeds itself without any attachment to every e-mail sent from the infected system. It executes when an infected email message is viewed The HTML.Redlof.A is a very pestering virus. From what I gather, neither does it create any loss of data nor does it send any personal information across the net.

But what it does is horrible. It actually comes in the form of a script. The script is copied onto several other .htm, .html, .vbs, .asp, .htt, .jsp files on your hard drive. Then whenever any of these files are executed, the script is copied onto more files which create more files and so on.


VBS/Redlof.A@m executes directly from an infected message by using a security vulnerbility in Internet Exlorer known as Microsoft VM ActiveX Control Vulnerability. More information about the vulnerability and a fix is available from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms00-075.asp

The virus also infects files with extensions "htm", "html", "asp", "php", "jsp", "htt" or "vbs".

Redlof drops the following infected files:

\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery\blank.html
\Windows\System\Kernel32.dll
\Windows\web\kjwall.gif
\Windows\system32\desktop.ini

"blank.html" is used to replace the default stationaries for both Outlook and Outlook Express via registry causing that the every message sent from an infected system will carry the virus.
The "Kernel32.dll" is also set to registry so that it will be executed on the system restart:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Kernel32
