I dont know if i posted this in the right spot.. but i was just wondering if there was some type of program or way of finding out if someone has made up a new AIM screen name? I know you can find people through an e-mail address but im not sure what e-mail they would have used... does anyone know or can anyone help me?

not possible. e-mail search is your only option.

you could get the person to directly connect to you on both of the suspected screen names and do a netstat -n in command prompt, and see if the ip address are the same...

other than that, not possible.

No, that won't work for him xdjoynerx. His problem is that he thinks someone has created a new screenname and not told him about it, and he wants to know. No there is absolutely no way for you to know this, period. Without somehow breaking into the AIM server, and searching for matching IP addresses logging on from different screennames.

[Edit] Actually, let me clarify. There is no technical way to do it. There's the obvious asking mutual friends and hoping they're not privy to the fact that this person is trying to avoid you.

sorry, i misinterpreted the post.

the only way to see if the person has other screen names you do not know about is to search by e-mail, and type in the address that they used when creating the screen name.

    • Microsoft shares "immediate remediation" script if you deleted this Windows system folder

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft shares "immediate remediation" script if you deleted this Windows system folder by Sayan Sen Following the Windows 11/10 Patch Tuesday updates for April 2025, users began noticing a new and mysterious "inetpub" folder in the C: directory. What added to the intrigue was that the folder seemed empty for many people, and thus it was assumed that it could be malicious. As such, many users even proceeded to delete the folder. However, as it turns out, Microsoft later confirmed that this folder was indeed part of the April Patch as it was delivered against the CVE-2025-21204 escalation of privilege security vulnerability. Curiously, a security researcher found that interpub itself could also in turn help threat actors permanently block Windows security updates, although, according to the tech giant, it is only categorized as a "moderate" severity at the moment, something that does not require immediate servicing. As such, Microsoft insists that inetpub must not be deleted "irrespective of whether Internet Information Services (IIS) is active." The company shared a new PowerShell script to restore the folder in case you deleted it, adding that it requires "immediate remediation." This reminds us of the recent Defender definition updates that were released for Windows image files against Lumma. In its MSRC advisory, Microsoft cautioned: "For systems with KB5055528 installed but %systemroot%\inetpub directory deleted, immediate remediation is required. If the inetpub directory has been deleted, you need to run the remediation script Set-InetpubFolderAcl.ps1. This script will: Recreate the inetpub directory if it has been deleted. Ensure that the directory permissions are correctly configured to prevent unauthorized access and potential vulnerabilities related to CVE-2025-21204. Update ACLs for the DeviceHealthAttestation directory, if it exists. This directory was created on certain Server versions by the February 2025 security updates. The script will update the ACLs for the DeviceHealthAttestation directory to ensure it is secure." To get the script, users can head over to this page on Microsoft's official PowerShell Gallery website. It should be run with elevated privileges. The page also provides some additional instructions if needed.
