E2500 and security
Hello
I have a desktop computer (Windows 8) connected to a router E2500, and I have a wireless connection to a laptop (Windows 8) in another room. Even though I followed the instructions, I found on the Web of Linksys site, I'm always worried about safety, especially after recently upgrading to DOCSIS 3.0 modem is always on (no sleep as my old had button). I have the router configured to not display the SSID.
As an example, my router SSID is XYZ. The area of desktop settings, my connection is listed as XYZ, connected status. It is always connected with no option to disconnect. No other connections not watch as being available. On the laptop, XYZ is listed and shows as connected manually after I connect. I don't have to enter a password or username, even if I think that I have the first time I have never connected, even if I do not remember for sure now. Lower than a unsecured network is available (a neighbor, I think), and below that is a hidden network. If I click on hidden network, I am prompted to enter a SSID name, and I guess that's actuallly my XYZ, given SSID I'm not broadcasting.
Also broadcasts it not, I also entered the mac address of my computers through Cisco connect, but I don't remember exactly what that article.
Cipher mode is WPA2-PSK.
I wonder if it is normal that Notepad to display the name XYZ (since I'm not radio) AND the hidden network. I expect only a hidden network of show, and I would need to enter the SSID and password every time I log in.
As you can tell, I am not tech savvy, and I hope I described things quite well. If this isn't the case, I'll try to clarify.
As for safety, I discovered last night that Norton Security has an option to block all network traffic, I thought I would ease my mind on the router and the modem is on 24/7. I chose on two computers and put them to sleep, but a few hours later, I discovered that the option was put back to allow traffic on the computers and the PC was out of the way "sleep" for a reason any.
I read the comments of some people in the forum that safety is not improved do not broadcast the SSID, but even if that's the case I'd rather not unless there is a compelling reason not to use this feature.
Thanks for any input...
Sorry for the delay in getting back here. I want to thank you all for the helpful answers and links and to set my mind at ease. I feel so much better in my wireless security now and the feeling that everything is put in place as it should.
Thanks again and take care!

Huh, that's news...
You can try Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. I think that it is an extension.
- Run firefox.exe - safe-mode in the search bar in the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)
Have you added new extensions recently around the time this started happening? The details of your system displays the following:
- Adobe Acrobat - create PDF 1.2 ([email protected])
- Anti-banner 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
- Dangerous sites 14.0.0.4917 blocker ([email protected])
- Kaspersky URL Advisor 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
- Troubleshooting 1. 1a ([email protected]) it comes by default, so this isn't the problem.

It is said in support of the pages that the option ' Privacy > don't remember history ' is equivalent to private browsing.
He said also that after you activate private browsing does not store history or passwords.So how are related options: "confidentiality > don't remember history ', ' confidentiality > settings customized user > permanent private browsing ' and ' security > remember passwords?
(1) if I activate "Privacy > don't remember history" fact it also means that the passwords are not stored?
(2) activate instead
"Privacy > settings customized user > permanent private browsing."
This still implies that passwords are not stored?3 If 1) or (2) are together, what is the role of the apparently independent option "security > remember passwords?
I'm sorry but the logic of the user interface is not really clear for me
Thanks for your help.
1. Yes. Setting "Firefox will: don't remember history ' prompts you to restart Firefox, after which 'always use private browsing mode' will be checked. The option "Remember passwords for sites" will be disabled and unavailable (grayed out).
2. Yes. It's the same thing.
3. as I said, in this case the option "Remember passwords for sites" would be unavailable (grayed out). The rest of the time, this option allows to disable the registration of passwords not in private browsing mode.

I'm worried I can compromise the security of my existing of passwords saved in Firefox by installing the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7'. Is the add-on 'Saved password editor V2.7' a safe and secure to use with Mozilla Firefox V21.0 app?
You should always be careful when you install extensions, not only for security reasons, but always with respect to the stability of Firefox.
Extensions, hosted on the site of the Add - ons were examined, unless otherwise stated and are generally safe for installation, but they remain third-party software developed by others (only a few are Mozilla and patches).

Activation XP, updates, IE8 and Security Essentials after April 2014
Through my church, I recycle computers that have been brought in. They all have XP and most hard drives are removed. I have a generic restore XP Professional SP3 disk and am able to activate XP with key code on the side of the computer through a websight Ms. I install the XP updates usually ~ 150 + IE8 and Security Essentials. After April 2014 I will be able to continue to help people?
Can you send me the answer, because I am new to this Forum
Thank you
E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.emails can be posted in the forum
all updates will always be available, that 2014, means is that xp is more taken in charge, or in other words, no new security updates only is published, which makes xp unsecured over the internet.
still usable, just not guarantee :)

I'm trying to access the administrator and security settings, but when I select the option I get a message that I am connected to a secure site, and when I click OK there is a warning that tells me that I can meet with a message indicating that the certificate is not approved to continue anyway; I keep being stopped by the message: error system internal system error accompanied by what seems to be a status bar that does nothing and I can't continue after that screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have noticed that my msfeedssync.exe were not working or updated so I went to the Task Scheduler to see what was going on and received the number above mapping between user names and security ID error I never use Task Scheduler, but I do not know its also used for RSS updates , I do all my own maintaince so I need only of GI RSS using a 3-year-old dimensions of dell with xp pro and its in tip top except for that shape it came only with a 80 GB hard drive and I've only used 20 concerts in 3 years that I use online for things important and backup storage I hope there is a solution for this because I installed ram to 4 GB and it has a 2.8 ghz Processor blazin fast and is in very good shape all help will be appreciated thanks
Hello syncere99,
1. What is the user account in the Task Scheduler are you for the work you are trying to use the Task Scheduler?
The error code indicates that the user account that was used to create the job no longer exists. This could be because the user account is deleted. I suggest that you remove and re-create a job and check if you have the same problem.
Thank you
