Guest SLoweCSL Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Twice on my system I have had the default security of root C: and thus all subdirectories under it, change to Everyone - Full Control. I noticed the change after some programs began acting strangely. I then reset the root to the default security back and propagated it through all the subdirectories. All seems to be ok again, but this is the second time and I know I didn't go into the drive properties and change the drive security permissions. I have scanned my system with both AV and spyware scanners, but have come up empty. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this to happen? I am running XP Pro SP2 with all updates applied, running on a 2003 Server domain. I have AV protection on the system as well as being behind a corporate firewall.
