Anti virus and security net blackBerry smartphones

Hi all I'm new to blackberry just got a curve 8900 im a little worried about using the internet on this subject. the device have a firewall, anti-virus etc thank you for your help

Yes, there is a security firewall. All the data and e-mail coming and going of the device is encrypted.

There is no need antivirus for BB because no viruses yet developed for the BB... and you can't build an 'anti' until you know what the attack, right?

You're safe. Enjoy.

  • Anti-virus/Internet security for Mac software?

    Thoughts about whether Anti Virus/Internet security software is necessary for Mac computers?  How about a new college student?

    If so any recommendations on which one to use?

    Thank you

    Mark

    You do not have anti virus for Mac.   Review carefully on known sites and you should have no trouble.   Don't download questionable sites (Cnet, MacKeeper and similar).   If you are unsure about a site, ask here in the forums.

  • Problems of Virus and security possible - Win32/PowerRegScheduler

    Operating program: XP Home edition

    Model: Samsung N140

    Question: The problems of security and viral infection

    Hello

    I'm sorry that I don't really have a great understanding of the computer virus so I don't know what information is relevant. I think most of what follows suggests an infection by the virus:

    I recently updated my free version of AVG Anti-Virus Free in the new 2011 edition. During installation, it has encountered an error (I don't remember details, possibly missing dll files) so I decided to cancel, restart my laptop and try again. When my laptop from loading until he said that there was a problem one windows had begun a check disk on drive C. It became clear and if I booted up and installed the AVG software.

    This seems to be the point at which the following problems started. It may have been independent, but it seems to me as an opportunity where my laptop's security has been compromised.

    Since the installation, I have a number of security issues. I first noticed security warning balloon popping up at startup alert me that my firewall or my anti-virus software has been active in. I have not installed a firewall and account on the firewall of a security xp at this time. My laptop has anti-malware/spyware called "Spybot Search and Destroy". As mentioned earlier that my anti-virus is AVG Free edition. The firewall when checked reading disabled until the computer was nearing completion with respect to the start of all substantive programmes and anti-virus and anti-malware programs would read the same thing, are they loaded at all. (Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, sorry again, but the menu at the top of the AVG Software bar flashes briefly when you hover over a button, briefly displaying a sign different menu under: S)

    As I try to keep my computer up to date for all programs, I check the windows updates regularly. For the first two weeks (before the avg installation problems), I didn't have a problem, but more recently Windows Update stopped several times to answer once started and only after several attempts to close the program and then restarting it again it will work

    After reading briefly on latest threats virus (Win32/Sality.AM, containing similar symptoms) I decided to use the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner. He detected a medium threat program: Win32/power Reg Scheduler. This program did not appear when I ran this scan before and nothing appeared on an AVG scan at all.

    All the details are:

    Program: Win32/power Reg Scheduler

    c:\Program InstallShield installation information\ {f31bc49f-ab7b-4a53-a399-eb7331b585bc} \data1.cab

    After a failed attempt to delete it also says:

    detected: (inshld #0004)-[rsrcemb]

    Any advice on how to remove the virus if it is indeed a would be useful and appreciated. I would like to use anti-virus software to remove it but the AVG software does not locate a problem and care scanner a Windows Live is unable to clean it up. If it does not seek to be a virus no matter what other help to solve security problems would be useful.

    Thanks for any help and I'm sorry for the length of this article. I would like to shorten but I don't really know what that is and is not important.

    MrPanda

    What happened is that when the installation failed, left it "garbage" files that are trying to work, but can not function properly.  These files are what caused the error that you are experiencing.  My advice is first perform an uninstall of the avg anti-virus (I say this because to say what your first post, you had a corrupted/defective update of the old version (2010 I guess)).  After uninstall you AVG AV, double check that all the avg files have been properly removed.  After that, install AVG AV of the downloaded installation.  Here is a link to the avg homepage, they have the free download on the cover page:

    Since you have posted in Forum Vista, I will assume that you are using the Vista operating system.

    You can get this information by navigating to the 'Start' menu and selecting 'Security Center' in the 'Control Panel', then you should be able to see what is running (antivirus/antimalware) under the tab "Malware Protection".

  • Vista premium operating system? need to use AVG anti virus and pc tune up?

    I have an older laptop OS Vista premium and AVG anti virus and p c tune up.

    I realize are now 8.1 W not the product AVG; can I rely on Windows defender disc cleanup, Defragmenter (and others I don't know) to protect the laptop? and remove AVG as I did on my most recent portable W8.1 mind?

    Thank you

    FOR EXAMPLE

    Hello TedGibney,

    As in earlier versions of Windows, for example, the Bill said Windows Defender, Vista only acts as an Anti-Spyware. It was only in later additions of Windows that Microsoft has added anti virus ability.

    As you have used AVG before I would suggest that you follow this anti virus application, when you are running Windows Vista.

    About PC Tune Up it would be wise to not use that, like many Tune Up / registry cleaners these applications can cause more problems than they actually heal.

  • WinXP SP3: Security Center think multiple anti-virus and firewall (cleaning) are running when not.

    It is after the removal of Security Tool virus.  I need to delete everything that is telling Windows (XP SP3) that there is a firewall and anti-virus (es) when they are not running.  I need to install real firewall and antivirus, but cannot.

    Fixed a problem.  I found this on the Avira forum.  Use BartPE to rename \windows\system32\wbem\repository (to... repository.org, so that I could get back in the case where this caused problems).  Then restarted.  Now that the real firewall and anti-virus that run really show in Security Center.  The entrance to the forum suggested run services.msc and stop the WMI service, and then do the renaming.  However, the name change was denied, that's why I used BartPE - boy, this thing is a lifesaver sometimes!  I appreciate the help I received from those in this forum.     Thank you, Steve

    Hi all, first time poster, second spectator of time... If that makes sense!

    New jobs and support of BlackBerry devices for the first time (mainly because I have one, ergo;) I'm an expert!). No problem it's always good to learn new things...

    Well, that's my problem - I have a user who cannot respond to emails - I have read some posts that were all on the money as to why and how to solve them. My problem is I have to perform a back up and wipe security, but do not know how and was hoping someone could guide my way. What is a professional user I won't spoil and lose\delete his email and addresses, etc.

    It is important that we use Notes and Domino (Boo!) instead of Outlook and Exchange? And it is an easy process?

    Thank you very much.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Forget the question of password and security for Blackberry Id

    I try to use my Blackberry Id and I realize that I forgot my password question and security.

    I can't find a solution, I have to do?

    Read this to get instructions to reset your password BlackBerryID:

    KB26361 How to reset a BlackBerry ID password

    *****
    It must be remembered the BlackBerryID password or secret answer to the question. Without either, you're stuck.
    Your choice is:
    -Use a different e-mail account to create a new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to all apps purchased using the 'forgotten' first BlackBerryID, or)
    -Find the initial email you have been sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID and there are a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on this, delete the account and then you can use that same e-mail to create a new account.
    Good luck.

  • Security of blackBerry Smartphones BBM

    I recently bought a smart phone BlackBerry - curve 9360. I have in what concerns the protection of data on my camera and the account connected to it. First of all, I wanted to if a blackberry smartphone is hackable and how it is to viruses and threats.
    Second, I want to know the security of the BlackBerry Messenger. I am a very sociable guy and regularly share pins with a lot of people I properly don't know sometimes even online with strangers as its seems much safer to share the pins that the telephone numbers. So my concern was that if no damage could come to my device or stored data top of this sharing of pine, in the form of my device be hacked using my BBPin or my data being exposed to someone or something.

    BlackBerry is not hackable.

    BlackBerry are not viruses.

    You cannot expose any personal data to share your PIN, unless you tell as something buddy pine.
