Spybot Search and Destroy version 1.4 is out, and it's good... it's scans
run faster than 1.3, and it has more detection rules, and blocks nearly 1000
more things than the last update set for 1.3 (In Win 2k anyway). As far as I
can tell, the updates are the same, but it looks smoother and more
professional than before. I'm going to give it a bit more testing today, on
a couple of pcs, but I think it's better than ever already.

According to www.Download.com:

Software Publisher's Description


Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of adware files
and modules from your computer. Spybot also can clean program and Web-usage
tracks from your system, which is especially useful if you share your
computer. Modules chosen for removal can be sent directly to the included
file shredder, ensuring complete elimination from your system. For advanced
users, it allows you to fix Registry inconsistencies related to adware and
to malicious program installations. The handy online-update feature ensures
that Spybot always has the most current and complete listings of adware,
dialers, and other uninvited system residents.

Version 1.4 has the first native multi-installation scanner, is noticeably
faster than version 1.3 during scans, and has improved the tools and updated
the interface.



Download.com Review of Spybot - Search & Destroy


The latest version of Spybot - Search & Destroy adds some truly useful
features to an already excellent application. The program still checks your
system against a comprehensive database of adware and other system invaders,
but it works much faster now. It also features several interface
improvements, including multiple skins for dressing up its appearance. Scan
results now appear arranged by groups in a tree, and a sliding panel lets
you instantly view information about a selected item to help you decide
whether to kill it or not. The Immunize feature blocks a plethora of
uninvited Web-borne flotsam before it reaches your computer. Other useful
tools, including Secure Shredder, complement the program's basic
functionality for completely destroying files. Hosts File blocks adware
servers from your computer, and System Startup lets you review which apps
load when you start your computer. The functionality makes Spybot - Search &
Destroy a must-have for all Internet users, and this version is a worthwhile
upgrade.

Reviewer: dyspyzthespyz

Pros: better faster scanning, more deep, faster set up, more detailed,
faster scanning, better look and ease of use under the Advanced options,
automatically finds your definitions download mirror, instead of the default
one, no more antivirus popups when scanning certain files, it compresses the
files for AV, still free! nice along side the new version of AdAware, which
by the way is still free as well.

Cons: none, none at all!


Plus, it now goes through the firewall at work, so I can update it from each
pc, so I get ALL the updates, not just the latest definitions.

Shamil,

It's the worm, MYTOB or a variant, and Trend released their first definition
on May 30. See the definition from Trend Micro at

You can probably clean it using Trend's free tool at

Subject: [dba-Tech] LNE100TX problem
Message-ID: <39cb22f30506051435165e9f1e@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Group,

I'm helping a client clean up his home PC. Had to restore the original
emachines CDs.

His emachines PC did NOT have a NIC. So I installed an old Linksys
LNE100TX card that I've had for 4 years or so. Never opened.

Windows XP Home (SP2) shows that the device is working properly but
that "network cable unplugged." I've tried three or four cables. That,
of course, isn't the problem.

I note that the two lights on the card itself are not lit. Might I be
dealing with a dead card but Windows thinks it's OK?

I'm going to try swapping the position of the card with the modem
that's installed in the first PCI slot. That may be simple
superstition, but in the past on older machines I've used the rule of
"Install the NIC as close to the power supply as you can.

Any ideas?

It's a 900 MHz Celeron w/128 MB of RAM. I've upgraded it to XP Service
Pack 2, though I haven't been able to get on-line yet to upgrade
Windows any further. This PC had been connected to the Internet via
the modem only up until my attempts to use my LAN and cable modem.

My first thought would be to check the linksys website, see if they've got
some updated drivers for the card. If that doesn't work, go out and buy a
new card. They're only $10 or thereabouts, so IMHO it's silly to waste any
more time on it than you have to.

dealing with a dead card but Windows thinks it's OK?

I'm going to try swapping the position of the card with the modem
that's installed in the first PCI slot. That may be simple
superstition, but in the past on older machines I've used the rule of
"Install the NIC as close to the power supply as you can.

Any ideas?

It's a 900 MHz Celeron w/128 MB of RAM. I've upgraded it to XP Service
Pack 2, though I haven't been able to get on-line yet to upgrade
Windows any further. This PC had been connected to the Internet via
the modem only up until my attempts to use my LAN and cable modem.

Jon,

That is what I had concluded. When I tell people that there's quite a
bit of computer technology today that either works...or it doesn't,
they kind of nod uncomprehendingly.

I am a bit disappointed, though, that Windows XP should show that the
NIC is "working properly." I suppose it's like a lamp, eh? It can be
"working properly" but the bulb could be burnt out.

Yeah, kinda... I've had NIC's that don't work, but appear to be working ok
according to the pc. I've no idea why, although I did hear somewhere that
there is a power breaker on NIC's in case of a surge through the network
cable. We had a series of cuts at work one night, repeatedly went on and off
several times in 30 seconds. It blew one hub, and three network cards.
Unfortunately, two of those were on servers, so having gone home at 5:30
that evening, I was back in at 7:30 till 2am fixing them. And I was in again
at 9am the next day. What a hero :-)

Anyway, according to the pc's, the cards were working properly, they just
couldn't see the network. See, there was a point to all that :-)

Jon, Steve,
Same experiences here. And I agree, spending time troubleshooting NICs isn't
worth it. If it did work and quite working, I replace it. If it hasn't been
used and doesn't work I update the drivers and then replace it if that
didn't work.

It makes troubleshooting much easier. I've only had one in the last year
that amounted to more than just the NIC going bad. It came down to bad NIC,
bad patch cable and bad port on the hub. Apparently the cleaning crew had
hit the patch cable with a vacuum cleaner or something - the outer shell was
all ripped up! This must have caused a surge/short in the wiring which
affected both ends. The rest of the hub is still working just that one port
doesn't function. The good news is it prompted them to have me help them
budget replacing the hub with faster switch!

I keep a bunch of NICs on hand. I get the for about $5 a card now.

Jon and John,

Well, I went to Office Depot and got a D-Link card. Installed it and
it works. I'll never worry about NICs again!

Thanks, both of you, for your input.

I have a PC which used to be on 24/7 and I want it to run only during 
daytime now.
Therefore I have set the BIOS power up control to
Auto Power up..........Everyday
Time alarm...............08:00:00

the other parameters in this section are set as follows:
AC PWR Loss restart......................enabled
PWR up on external modem act..........disabled
wake on LAN or PCI Modem..............disabled

does anybody have any idea whether there are any other parameters to set?
I am using auto power-up with other PCs just fine. had never before tried it 
with this one.
this one is about 4 years old.

thanks in advance for any help/comments

Lembit,
No specific help. But there is one bit of info I scavenged from the age old
debate about whether or not to leave the computer running 24/7 or to power
it down when not in use. If you have left the computer on for an extended
period and then decide to power down for extended periods the hard drive R/W
heads may become stuck in the "parking zone" where it subsides during the
power down process. This is apparently due to accumulations built up on the
head that occur from running 24/7.

I do not know if its true or legend but I did have one old PC which ran for
5-6 years 24/7. At that point it had a bit of a problem whenever it was
turned off for even a few moments but one night someone turned it off and
that was it. It would not start up the next morning. I didn't put much
effort into checking as to why because it was so old and slow (and was
basically just acting as a dumb terminal to a Unix server.)

Subject: [dba-Tech] Auto Power-up doesn't work

I have a PC which used to be on 24/7 and I want it to run only during
daytime now.
Therefore I have set the BIOS power up control to Auto Power
up..........Everyday Time alarm...............08:00:00

the other parameters in this section are set as follows:
AC PWR Loss restart......................enabled
PWR up on external modem act..........disabled wake on LAN or PCI
Modem..............disabled

does anybody have any idea whether there are any other parameters to set?
I am using auto power-up with other PCs just fine. had never before tried it
with this one.
this one is about 4 years old.

thanks in advance for any help/comments

Thank you, John,

you are right there is something about the HDs.
I found however, that the problem occurs when I shut it down and restart 
immi.
However, if I wait for some time, they start up just fine.
Also, sometimes when I want to work with it, it hangs and the monitor is all 
black and I have to use the reset button.
Maybe its a temperature thing, and maybe I need to get new HDs,
but if there is something wrong with the mainboard as well, then I need to 
fix that also and perhaps buy different HDs.

I've been using FileZilla ftp for awhile now and its very good. Although I
dislike the name, I like the "add to que" feature which lets me go into
different dierctories and add files to the download que as others from
another directory are already downloading. Works with uploading too.

Just a heads up on something that I've found the hard way today...
 
If you've upgraded Acrobat reader to version 7.0 (which is a LOT faster than
6.0, and doesn't use enarly as much ram), you might notice that when you
click on Hyperlinks in Office Documents they don't always open... if you
update to 7.0.1 that's fixed.
 
The update file is here, or you can go to Help/check for updates if you're
not behind some dodgy proxy server like I am here.

Yup came across this the hard way too.

There are still bugs in 7.01, this code below will work in 6.0 to open 
zoomed pdf document and specific page
With 7.0 it won't open the document at all, Adobe page just flashes 
empty.  Code now works with 7.01
However opening a hyperlink locally with parameters like this worked 
with 6.0
"file:///C:\records management\aircanadacasestudy.pdf?zoom=25"
Doesn't work anymore it ignores the open parameters with 7.0 or 7.01
but will open the file properly to initial page.

It does work opening  file remotely with 7.01
"https://somesite.com/results.pdf?page=1000"


Sub RunAdobetest()
'for list of  pdf open options see
' http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/sdk/public/docs/PDFOpenParams.pdf
Dim intRet As Integer
Dim intPage As Integer
Dim strPDF As String
Dim strCommandLine As String
   intPage = 3
strPDF = """C:\records management\aircanadacasestudy.pdf"""

    Debug.Print strCommandLine
   intRet = Shell(strCommandLine, vbMaximizedFocus)

Subject: [dba-Tech] More Unicode
Message-ID: <39cb22f305061614075e259a52@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Group,

Today I was trying to add the Unicode character for the "flat" symbol
in music to a message in my email reader. There's a nice layout of all
the Unicode characters at www.visibone.com. Specifically, I found the
"flat" symbol on this page:
http://www.visibone.com/htmlref/char/cer09800.htm. Viewing that page
with Firefox, I was able to see that code 9837 (decimal) was "flat",
9838 was "natural", and 9839 was "sharp."

I wasn't able to add that "flat" character to my email, though.

When I view the same page with IE, I don't see half as many of the
characters as I see with Firefox. And the unused or unassigned or
undisplayable characters in Firefox appear as question marks, while in
IE they appear as little empty boxes.

In Firefox, the proportional font is set to "Serif" and the serif font
is set to "Times New Roman." In IE, the "Web page font" is Times New
Roman. What's odd is that the "Serif" font doesn't appear on any of my
lists of installed fonts. I use Bitstream's very nice Font Navigator
for creating groups of fonts on my system...and nowhere do I see the
"Serif" font.

What would explain the different views of that web page? Here are
screen shots of the page in FireFox and IE:

http://www.swerbach.com/images/9800-9899ff.gif
http://www.swerbach.com/images/9800-9899ie.gif

By the way, I examined the HTML code for that page and the only FONT
references are to increasing the size by +3. No style sheets, either.

There sure is.

Sub NewDocBasedOnTemplate()

Dim objWord As Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document

Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True

Set doc = objWord.Documents.Add("full\path\to\tempate.dot", , , True)

'Do your stuff here

Set doc = Nothing
Set objWord = Nothing

Thanks, Bryan. So far I'm doing it just by loading the template itself, but
your option looks a bit slicker.

There sure is.

Sub NewDocBasedOnTemplate()

Dim objWord As Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document

Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True

Set doc = objWord.Documents.Add("full\path\to\tempate.dot", , , True)

'Do your stuff here

Set doc = Nothing
Set objWord = Nothing

End Sub

I'm creating a Word file from within Access. Actually I'm creating three
files, two of type HTML and the third a standard .doc file. I want to
programmatically insert the two HTML files into the .doc file at specified
places (currently marked with a bookmark). Can someone provide me with
instructions for how to do this -- using VBA code, not the Word menu?

TIA,

Arthur,
I cannot answer your question, but if you record a macro and insert the
files, then look at the macro, it might give you a clue as to how to do it
from VBA.

John,

Sounds good.

But after reading the heavy praise over Norton's -- mostly over the 
interface and ease of use -- I was concerned with this:

My feeling too. I use multiples, I just find the improvements in Spybot S&D
1.4 make it worthy of downloading over 1.2 & 1.3. When I scan with half
dozen products speed is important. I don't think much of Norton's AS product
yet.

In general I don't put too much credance in these reviews. PCMag just did a
review of anti-spyware products and included only one of the top products
(IMO) in the mix.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Open File Dialog Box Call Fails
Message-ID: <00b401c57736$57c70fd0$6c01a8c0@HAL9004>

Dear List:

I have a client who's selling an app I wrote where I use the code from the ADH to call the file open dialog box:

Declare Function adh_apiGetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" _
 Alias "GetOpenFileNameA" (ofn As tagOPENFILENAME) As Boolean

I haven't worked on the app for several months and it's been very stable until a couple of weeks ago when this call began to fail with no error message.  Just didn't open the dialog box.  Then it failed on another computer.  Then on another one.  Now no computer in his place runs this api.

I went over to his place and stepped through the code and sure enough it goes to the api call and then goes right through the api call without opening the dialog box.

If we try to drop the common dialog control onto a form in design view from the additional tools list in the toolbox we get a message that says the OLE server isn't registered.

So I need to figure out 

1) how to get the OLE server registered (unregistered first I suppose) and see if that is somehow hosing the file open dialog box
2) figure out if there's a problem with comdlg32.dll
3) see if I can determine why this app suddenly went south so that it doesn't happen at one of his customer sites.

He's using Access 2000 SP-3 but also fails in AXP.  The app fails on both W2K and WXP.  He's pretty careful about virus scanning.  I don't think it is a virus even though it behaves like one.  Is it possible that it got hosed by an automatic windows update?

Any clue as to what's going on here would be greatly appreciated.

With that sort of progressive failure, I'd suspect something spreading 
through his network like a virus of trojan.

That's different, you are using the OCX there which requires registration. 
That's one of the advantages of using the API and DLLS - no registration 
required when you put your app on another machine.
 

Check the date, size and version info of comdlg32.dll on the machines and 
replace if necessary. Also search the computer for more than one 
copy/version of this dll.

Stuart:

Thanks, will forward to the client.  I am using the API call in the code. 
The thing with the OLE registration not directly related but thought it 
might be a clue.  Maybe it's a whole other problem.

Message-ID: <200506250038.j5P0cpaO295870@pimout2-ext.prodigy.net>

Hi All,
Well the time has arrived. I have been putting off recording my personal
albums and cassette tapes to my hard drive because I didn't HAVE to do it. 
 
Now I have a new project where I have to do this with cassette tapes. These
are all sound bites that I will need to store. They will eventually be used
for Power Point Presentations so I figure I have to do the .wav format.
 
Right now all I have is cassette tapes, a boom box and a Sound Blaster Card.
 
Any suggestions on how to do this?
 
John B.
 
PS: The fun part will come later when I get to create automatic PP shows
from the stored text, .wav and .jpg files.

what's a boom box?

is it a stereo with tape?

anyway, what you need is a SW for recording. there are lots for free or 
pretty cheap on Internet.
years ago I had bought GoldWave for 40$. Still using it for some tasks.
but there are of course much better ones like Adobe Audition (expensive)

Hi Lembit,
Sorry, "Boom Box" is a slang term for a portable cassette tape, CD, radio
with big speakers. I never had one before but my wife bought me one for
Christmas. I had always planned to do this direct from my stereo component
system.

I mis-placed the manual for my sound blaster card. I don't have RCA type
jacks on this cassette player. If I run a line from the headphone connector
of the cassette player into the line-in connector of the sound card will
that work?

John

Yeah, it should do. That's how my dad records things off the radio to listen
to later on his minidisc player. Out of the stereo into the minidisc. You
can do it straight off your pc too from the internet radio.

jacks on this cassette player. If I run a line from the headphone connector
of the cassette player into the line-in connector of the sound card will
that work?

what's a boom box?

is it a stereo with tape?

anyway, what you need is a SW for recording. there are lots for free or
pretty cheap on Internet.
years ago I had bought GoldWave for 40$. Still using it for some tasks.
but there are of course much better ones like Adobe Audition (expensive)

Yeah, it should do. That's how my dad records things off the radio to listen
to later on his minidisc player. Out of the stereo into the minidisc. You
can do it straight off your pc too from the internet radio.

Hi Lembit,
Sorry, "Boom Box" is a slang term for a portable cassette tape, CD, radio
with big speakers. I never had one before but my wife bought me one for
Christmas. I had always planned to do this direct from my stereo component
system.

I mis-placed the manual for my sound blaster card. I don't have RCA type
jacks on this cassette player. If I run a line from the headphone connector
of the cassette player into the line-in connector of the sound card will
that work?

either. Sorry John :-)

John,
I'm using the Tape Out  of the Stereo connected to the LineIn of the soundcard.
the results are good, but from recordings (vinyl) I do some noise removal.
that might not be necesary in your case if you have mainly talking rather than
music.

Software-wise I use Easy Cd Creator 5 Platinum (the Spin Doctor bit, which
takes some finding) to do the recording, then the free version of Goldwave
to split the tracks. What about others?

Hi All,

Is there anywhere VIN coding/decoding decription and information?
Is that an open(free) information or it has to be bought from somewhere?
I did find this http://yarchive.net/car/vin.html but it's incomplete.

Thank you in advance for any additional information on VIN decoding!

Hi All,

If am trying to create a batch file to run in either Windows 2000 or Windows
XP and I realized that while I know a lot of old DOS command syntax I don't
know all the commands that are available in Win2k or WinXP.
Does anyone know of a resource that lists all the commands that are
available at the command prompt in these to versions of Windows?

Thanks!

Subject: [dba-Tech] cd-burning software
Message-ID: <87C856B802C3D511B69B0002A5CD10EA9D2BFD@ALCUXB>

Does anyone know of any cd burning software that does a library type thing
like windows media player does? I've got lots of cd's ripped on my hard
drive (legally) and because some of them are by "various artists" they're
stored in a "Various Artists" folder on the hard drive, making it a pain to
select the tracks I want to put on the cds... Ideally I'd like to be able to
burn mp3 cd's straight from WMP, but I don't know if I can do that either...

 
Is there anything out there that can do this for me?

Hi Jon,
You can burn from WMP. Last time I did that they had crippled the burn speed
to being very slow but it worked. That's what I have my in-laws using yet
because its easier than having them try to learn the faster CD burning
software on their PC. I haven't really checked out the latest version of WMP
much so a lot of what I know is based on old info.

I use MusicMatch Jukebox (which I paid for the eternal subscription so I get
all the upgrades). It's a bit easier to use, has more features and is more
powerful than WMP. But you get what you pay for. I started out using WMP and
the nice thing is they can both use the same folder file structure although
they have separate databases for their "libraries". MMJ also can rename the
files directly so that when I edit the database info and can change that
right there.

John B.

You can burn from wmp, it uses the roxio plug in, but it only burns as an
audio cd, even with a full version of roxio installed. I want to create an
mp3 cd for my car stereo...

I might have to have a look at the jukebox when I get my new pc within the
next month or so...

Thanks John

Jon,
Yes, that was it!

The biggest problem with WMP is that when you rip CDs it (used to anyway)
only does it in .wma format. Which is great if you only use WMP. Some CD/DVD
player units do .wma cds too but not all.

MMJ used to offer a free version with nag screens or something. Worth it for
testing out.

WinAmp would be another app. I tried it and just never took to it. But its
pretty popular.

I don't use WMP for much so I'm not really sure how the library works.
But for organizing my MP3s I use iTunes from Apple
(http://www.apple.com/itunes/)

With it you can create static playlists or "Smart" playlist. Smart
Playlists will automatically add new MP3s to the list when the get
added to the iTunes libray if the match the criteria you set for the
playlist.

It will also burn CDs, Audio, MP3 or data cds. You can select the
songs to burn, use playlist or select certain songs from a playlist to
burn.

I've never created an MP3 CD, but I have created quite a few Audio CDs
(MP3s convereted to standard Audio CDs) and they work like a charm in
my 10 yr old stereo's cd player.

Have you ever gotten iTunes to quit placeing their hidden processes into the
windows auto startup list? Between that and the QuickTime processes they
drive me nuts.

Maybe its OK if you use them a lot, I don't know.

QT and iTunes both add their hidden processes to windows auto startup list
everytime I use them. I went in and set the preferences not to do that stuff
and manually deleted the processes from the startup areas. I go to a website
that wants QT and boom its back in my startup list. I hate fighting
software!

MMJ adds itself without telling me during installation but when I delete it
manually it stays gone.

I don't use WMP for much so I'm not really sure how the library works.
But for organizing my MP3s I use iTunes from Apple
(http://www.apple.com/itunes/)

With it you can create static playlists or "Smart" playlist. Smart Playlists
will automatically add new MP3s to the list when the get added to the iTunes
libray if the match the criteria you set for the playlist.

It will also burn CDs, Audio, MP3 or data cds. You can select the songs to
burn, use playlist or select certain songs from a playlist to burn.

I've never created an MP3 CD, but I have created quite a few Audio CDs (MP3s
convereted to standard Audio CDs) and they work like a charm in my 10 yr old
stereo's cd player.

I've never tried. So I can't comment.

A good method way to retain some sanity :o)

I never knew of any one on windows who used iTunes. Just my MacHead friends.
I suppose its used by all the iPod owners too.

The whole thing is free too, correct?

iTunes is, yes. And if you ever see iPods for free let me know and
pick up a few for me :-)

 I have only messed around with this but I don't think you want to do 
this from scratch
The data is updated monthly by car manufacturers. Some US government 
department may
have a full database, like the FBI, but commercially it is generally 
being done by a web service.
Most commercial ones are not yet complete and still being built to 
include heavy trucks, RV's and motorcycles.
Some web services will give you proper complete info anywhere between 
67% to 95 % of the time
depending on which one you use. You will have to get quotes on cost per 
web  transaction
but it is probably around $0.50 to a $1.

And things like a 1964 Corvette have only 9 digit VINS. Who knows what 
is on a East German Trabant.

Maybe you can pick up a free VIN database from NewZealand or Australia
I have an Access database with the US NHTSA Safety and Manufacturers 
Vehicle Recalls
and that is available on line as a text delimited file.

I have seen PDA's that use these VIN database  web services at some of 
the larger car auctions.
They also hook into a state's license bureau to track titles and 
accident info, as well, from the VIN
not just decoding the info from the VIN number.

This company makes a standalone program or web service that delivers
XMLVIN  info for US  compliant VIN's as below
Cost is about $300 US with updates.
www.vinpower.com

Here is an explanation of what is involved in producing the info from a 
vin decoder
from another VIN web service supplier.
 These guys even provide jpeg pictures of auto in the xml
http://dataonesoftware.com/vinDecoderHome.php
