How do you know that a Web site can be trusted?
Hello
I posted this message to find out how possible is it for me to know that a Web site can be trusted when on any site I know is sure yet there is no icon to lock on the URL, so that I know that's for sure, everything I have is a tab (with an arrow with the tip pointing down) where I click on to go to another while on the page URL , then next to him there is a tab for "Refresh" and a red 'X' to ' Stop (Esc). Let me mention this website, Microsoft answers Forums, this is a site course yet there is no icon of padlock in the browser to make sure that it is actually inside (even though I know it's course), how, without the padlock icon, can I be sure that the URL is secure, does rely on the version of Windows I have, what browser I (if it's IE Mozilla Firefox (, Opera... etc)?
Thank you
Sincerely,
Frampton rocks

Some antivirus programs include assessments of site or warning - Avast and Prevx those.
BTW if you remove an antivirus/security program after the edition run the removal of its creator tool
and/or search for the special removal instructions avoid leftovers.

http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/msestart/thread/407bf6da-C05D-4546-8788-0aa4c25a1f91/
-------------------
Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.
Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.
Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)
Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download
Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4
Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->
PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp
Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
I hope this helps.

How do you know that a display object has completed the update of itself
Hello
I wonder if there is some event that I had to listen to know that an object has finished the update.
Once I update a display with some data object, I need to know when it's done everything, including the resizing and initializing... etc.
I just did a "callLater", but for complex objects, "callLater" does not... using "setTimeout" for 1 second works for these objects complicated... but its my request as much as 1 second slowdown is so slow. In addition, with a timeout is always No... as I have is not a control on objects that could be passed to this class... and maybe in the future there will be a very complex subject that needs more than 1 second to be ready.
So in short, is it a guaranteed way to know if an object has finished to update itself, so that I can take the next step while being sure about?
Thank you
You should be able to use the updateComplete event.

I didn't like the new firefox 40 was the problem. To make it worse in chrome videos have been hanging out at all, but when I restarted my computer it could not restart correctly. I've seen this kind of problems with the RAM sticks before so I said to give it a try.
The sticks were very hot and one of them showed signs of oxidation.
I cleaned the with an eraser and now the computer works fine again.I have 4 GB ddr2 800 adata vitesta 4x1Go sticks.
Good job. Play well.

How will I know if a connection site is secure? In Safari or Explorer there is a locking visual icon in the web browser window, but not in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?
The padlock shows only that there is a secure connection and does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you could always be connected to the wrong server if you make a typing mistake in the URL and someone said that mistyped the URL. The lock feature has been replaced by the identity button of the Site on the left end of the address bar (address).
https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/site+identity+button
http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/security/identity/
This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0
If you still want an icon of padlock also then there is this Extension.

Key on the keyboard does not work in firefox box when you type in the web site, but it works everywhere else?
Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themesCan be caused by an add-on to the AVG.
When find you what is causing that, please let us know. It might help others who have this problem.

How will I know that the 128 encryption works 100%?
The Web site I will use frequently requires 128-bit encryption. He mentioned using https: instead of http. How do I know for sure the site is secure? I searched the padlock at the bottom of the screen and once that wasn't there the next time here.
The lock is no longer a part of Firefox; It can give users a sense that a site is secure by not providing all the information related to a site. Familiarize yourself with the Site identity button in Firefox:
