    Re: unwanted software on hard drive

    I found this tidbit of information via a search at
    http://web.textfiles.com/hacking/siteb.txt
    I hope this helps....but it looks like a XXX site filter...

    --DATE--4-1-98--X STOP-- Here is a letter I recieved about a blocking
    program called X Stop.

    | Hey there, My friend is having a "problem" with his computer.His
    parents | put "X Stop" on his computer.It's one of those block or
    filter "bad" | internet sight things.I told him to mail, but
    ironically enough,yours is | blocked! Anyways,I've been trying
    to help him,but the 2 files | (C:\windows\system\xblock95.dll and
    c:\windows\system\xstop95.exe) are | file protected so they cant be
    corrupted and what not.If you know anyway | to stop this program
    short of formatting could you please tell me?I only | ask you
    because I saw that earlier article on how to stop Full Armor or |
    something like that.Sorry for the long letter | Cya! C:\>attrib
    /? Displays or changes file attributes. ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A]
    [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:][path]filename] [/S] + Sets an
    attribute. - Clears an attribute. R Read-only file attribute. A
    Archive file attribute. S System file attribute. H Hidden file
    attribute. /S Processes files in all directories in the specified
    path. Hello. First let me say that I laughed out loud with that
    "ironically enough" story. Okay, onto the question, I have never
    encountered this problem, but from your description it should be
    fairly easy. Go into MS-DOS and use the attrib command (the help
    file above shows the syntax). First do an attrib on those two
    files. It will have an R or an A preceeding the files. To make the
    files writable or un-archive them simply type: attrib -R
    xblock95.dll attrib -R xstop95.exe or attrib -A xblock95.dll attrib
    -A xstop95.exe That should make the files manipulative so you can
    either corrupt them, or move them. I hope that helps. Hasta!
