A WARNING! mydocs.dll

There's a LOT more going on with the mydocs.dll than meets the eye. It is
DEFINITELY doing more than just storing data. It's sending data out when you
access the internet! Yep, don't believe me?

I put Zone Alarm Pro, (an excellent firewall), on my computer, and this
firewall checks what's going out as well as what's trying to get in. Well, I
set the internet settings to the highest, or most secure for checking files
in and out. I couldn't believe it! When ever I tried to access the internet
I would get an alarm that said the program I was trying to access the
internet with has been changed, and would I allow the changed program to
access the internet? When I hit the details button, I see that mydocs.dll
had attached itself to ANY program that I was trying to access the internet
with and the alarm logs showed that mydocs.dll was attempting to send data!
NO LIE! I think the reason My Docs is so slow is because it's doing LOTS of
sneaky crap behind the scenes and sending out data to MS or somewhere! Where
else would it be sending data?

Anyway, download a free trial copy of Zone Labs, Zone Alarm Pro firewall and
check it out for yourself. In fact, I bought a MS internet keyboard and
laser mouse and had to disable the system hooks because they BOTH were
sending data to a central database, I know that because the database has an
IP address!!!! Once again, NO LIE! Get the Zone Alarm firewall and check it
out for yourself!

I'd love to find someone who has addressed this problem with Microsoft
software. What programs within the operating systems are reporting back? It
can't be denied, it IS happening, and the reason it's being discovered is
because there was never a firewall good enough or complete enough to check
what's going out before. This firewall was designed to stop things like a
Trojan horse from communicating, thereby stopping the virus. It just so
happens that it's catching Microsoft too!

This could be another HUGE lawsuit against MS. I'm sure they don't want this
to be known, but beware people, big brother IS watching you! THAT is the
main reason the mydocs.dll is so twitchy, slow and has it's own
architecture, it's doing a LOT more than just sitting there! I understand
the "My Favorites" folder information is included in the data being sent by
mydocs.dll too. Does anyone know who has been working on this problem with
MS? Somebody should! Good luck!

I think you need to take a chill pill, and stop spouting
personal opinions and fears as facts.

You have stated nothing to back up your comments other than
I think, do the research and make sure, before you post
your comments, no sense in being labeled chicken little
and screaming the sky is falling!

If you can't back up your statments then don't post them
as facts, lots of people here are VERY knowledgeable and
most willing to help discover the truth!
 
Sonny,

Don't you think that IF this is true, large security
organisations like CERT.org would have distributed a
warning?

MyDocs.dll doesn't store data. It manages the My Documents folder
structure for you. And yes, if you have internet documents, it will
send data across an internet connection. Nothing nefarious, it's
actually doing as you instructed.

If you're worried, unregister the DLL at a command line:

regsvr32 /u mydocs.dll

The My Documents folder structure will no longer function, but Zone
Alarm won't complain either.

Sorry, at least today, the sky isn't falling.

Actually this is not a troll message!

A troll usually post messages of hateful or obvious
discontent. I see no discontent or anger here, confusion
maybe!
 
<LOL> I know that I probably sounded like "Chicken Little", but I was
pissed, and I don't want to be a lemming either. <G> I wasn't purposefully
sending or receiving any documents over the internet. But I can disable that
dll for sure! Thanks a million Jeff.
