How a web site knows the location of my computr?

Some web sites, those that I have not visited before, show the city where I am. How this happen and how can I disable it?

This is most likely caused by a reverse DNS look to the top of your IP address.

See:

To use geolocation, you must always confirm that you want to share your location.

  • All https: Web sites know the untrusted certificate errors and appears as the provider cert Digitalmarketresearchapps Pty Ltd. No virus found on my system.

    I started all of a sudden the problem "untrusted connection" on earlier work https: Web sites with the "not provided any transmitter channel" as a reason. I tried all the proposed solutions and nothing works. I ran several programs antivirus and no viruses or malware detected. I don't have any such installed ESET suggested in the previous solutions. Display of certificates for the default sites shows that the provider in all cases is 'Digitalmarketresearchapps Pty Ltd'. Certificates are always a start date and an expiration of 2039. I think I picked up something that causes the problem, but as I said, none of my antivirus/malware programs are detecting anything.

    I had this problem as well, and he ended up caused by the installation of the E-Rewards application notify. I had to uninstall and then restore my computer to an earlier time to fix the signer of the certificate again to "Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd". I contacted E-Rewards to let them know and ask why this is happening.

  • How to prevent the FF loading all Web sites using the HTTPS protocol

    FF is trying to load initially all Web sites using the HTTPS protocol, including of mozilla.org. Then I get the error of no reliable connection of course. Mozilla .org is the "invalid security certificate" and "the issuer of the certificate is unknown." I tried to delete the file cert8.db as suggested elsewhere but that did not help. If there is an option for this somewhere, I can't find it. I have the latest version of FF and Win7 running. Thanks for the help.

    There must be some sites that are still using a secure connection, as http://www.amazon.com/. If even a link to Amazon is redirected, you can check if you have an extension like HTTPS Everywhere.

    For Mozilla sites, Yes, you establish a secure connection.

    But you shouldn't get certificate errors! When you get this for virtually all secure sites, the problem is usually as follows:

    (1) error of date, time, or time zone who throw checks validity of the certificates of your system. Sometimes allowing to use a timesource on the internet, the computers can introduce this problem.

    (2) not be set up to work with your security software that intercepts and filter secure connections from Firefox. Products with this feature include Avast, BitDefender, ESET, Kaspersky; AVG has a shield search function which can cause this error on search sites.

    (3) malicious software on your system for the interception of secure connections.

    So... who is?

    If you have any of these specific security products, which would be the first thing to check. We might be able to help with specific next steps based on what you have if you tell us.

    Alternatively, you can examine the certificate to which Firefox is opposed to see if the issuer information pointing to the culprit. Take for example my test page:

    https://jeffersonscher.com/RES/jstest.php

    You should see a section "I understand the risks" in the page. If you expand this section, you will find a button Add Exception. You don't need to complete the process of adding an exception (I suggest not adding one until we know that it is not a problem of malware), but you can use the dialog box to display the information that makes Firefox suspicious.

    Click Add an Exception, and then view. If the view is not enabled, try first the button get certificate. Then in the certificate Viewer, refer to the section "issued by". What do you find here, or under the hierarchy of certificates? I have attached a screenshot for comparison of screen.

  • Design of a Mobile Web site and the best Mobile detection Solution

    Last week, I decided to create a mobile version of one of my Web sites. I thought it would be a relatively easy task, but I quickly realized there is more that meet the eye.

    Without going into all the details (for example questions from the media, etc.), this is the strategy I ended up with...

    First step:

    I used this script to detect a mobile device...

    < script type = "text/javascript" >

    If (screen.width < = 400) {}

    document.location = ' http://mobile.MYURL.com';

    }

    < /script >

    I know that I could use the media queries or any number of other methods, but this one appeared to require the minimum of effort. For example, the media seems so complicated because I make sure I have the list of possible devices that can check out my Web site. The script above simply says, if the screen is small, view the mobile Web site. The downside is the person with the mobile device needs to have Javascript enabled, but very few people turn it off.

    Second step:

    I designed a special website for the mobile device.

    I could have created special CSS for each page to my Web site, but people don't want to read all the content I have on my Web site in any case, at least not on a mobile device. It was much easier to create a little site for mobile devices instead of make a huge CSS file to convert all my pages.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Because there are so many options when you create a mobile Web site, I just wanted to see if everyone here thinks I did it the right way or would you recommend an alternative?

    Also, I saw that he sent several times that I should include a link to the 'full version' of my site at the bottom of my mobile Web site. How I do that without creating an infinite loop that continues to send the visitor to the mobile version? In other words, when they click on 'full version' it will send them to the page that contains the script above, and this script will send their right to the mobile version.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

    All the best,

    Bill

    Separate sites for the version complete mobile vs is the best method. Just synchronize the data dynamically from database. Depending on the complexity of your site, the setting is completely different for a mobile version. Much, much more than just a style some conditional css rules. Device for side detection Server allows to redirect mobile users to the mobile version, which is usually a completely different directory or same site... ie. m.example.com mobile and example.com for the version complete.

    Similarly, you would use the reciprocal method of detecting device for side supported server to redirect anone who is NOT on a device to the full version if they visited the complete mobile URL from a web browser. You can use a cookie with detection on the server to allow the user to "switch" to the version side full and vice versa. Where if the cookie is not set and the device is mobile, then directly on the mobile device and display the button to switch to a comprehensive site that sets the cookie. Much of/and/of/ifelse/instructions if else going on there, but it can be done easily. I hope you get the point.

    best,

  • Can I use family safety to allow all Web sites in the "public interest" and to block some specified Web sites?

    I use Windows 8 and I want to create an account for the kids to use for homework.

    It seems reasonable to allowing all Web sites in the category 'general interest '. I also want to block specific Web sites that I know can be distracting.

    It seems that this should be easy. I just select the category of the "general interest" and also add sites to the blocked list. However, it gives me not the behavior I expect. I find that in the list of the blocked websites are accessible as usual.

    Shouldn't this approach do I want? In the affirmative, please can you give some advice on why I see this problem.
