• The safer browser and e-mail provider & how are these viruses and malware problems to spread?

  I use Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 10 to surf the web. In my view, they have everything to lose if their browser has problems of security, however, makes also large target. A Yahoo email account has been hacked. How, I don't know. Then the spam was sent to all my contacts. I have used e-mail accounts, with all programs of well known web site outside of Yahoo. Hotmail/Live, AOL, Gmail, mail, and inbox.com. They all seem to work. With spam being a problem on Yahoo & Hotmail. For me your browser must protect users against viruses and software malware and other things of that nature. Because surf the Internet, it's what you want to do with a browser. How is distributed most of these things? What is the e-mail provider and a more secure browser.

  Hi dough.

  I agree with Bugbatter that even if all the major Webmail as some antivirus e-mail scanning, but you cannot rely solely on them. Also, it is not a question of what browser or webmail is more secure or better. Don't forget a website or a program can be infected sometime or another. However there are a few things to you, as a user, can do to protect yourself. As BB says above. It is your responsibility because it is your PC, your account and your identity that you want to protect.

  1.) keep your operating system (including your browsers) and the security of programs up to date. There are programs such as Java, Flash, Reader which are important targets by malicious software so that they can be used to infect your computer. If you can, avoid them, otherwise, leave enable automatic update so that any security flaw can be fixed in time.

  2.) use a strong password. Combination of 10 or more letters, numbers and symbols using capital letters too. Use different passwords for all your sites; emails, social, banking and hang them on a regular basis.

  3.) don't be click happy. Do not open unknown emails and if a friend sends attactments, call him or her or answer her and ask if he or she send these attactments. If something seems fishy, it's probably so don't click on don't it. Do some research first. Have a special folder where you can download your attactments and scann again. Do not open it directly fron the site, and if possible have a secondary scanner to get a second opinion. Malwarebytes is a good choice.

  In open wifi hotspots) 4 (coffe shops, airports) switch your firewall to 'Public' if possible and avoid banking on cibersites using a public PC.

  5.) have a backup strategy. Make a regular backup of your system and important documents (files, photos, emails, videos, music, Fav). Win 7 and Win 8 joined, I understand, a very good program to do this. There are other third-party programs that can also make an image of your HARD drive regularly.

  I think those are the mayor points to be relatively safe, but I imaging of other members of this forum can add a little more.

• 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:

  I hope this helps!  If it isn't, feel free to write me at:

• How to fix error: internet security refusing to open a program on cd, cd does not have to have internet to run, it's graphical files just can't read

  I have a cd of graphics that I bought. It worked fine for a few years now, whenever I try to load a file from the cd, my computer tells me that's not valid cd.  Cannot open all of the files on the cd.  Then yesterday, on a whim, I tried again once all the files appeared on the cd and it started to load.  About halfway through, my computer froze and the cd stopped respoding. You need to restart the computer now to return to the unable to read the cd.  I get an error message says internet security does not allow it to access the files.  It's just the files. EPS are stick people, none of which has nothing to do with the internet.  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  We're here to help and guide you in the right direction.

  Help me with little information.

  1 is this problem specific to this graphic CD?
  2 are you able to use another CD/DVD on the computer?
  3. What is the number of brand and model of the computer?

  4. did you try to use the same CD on another computer and check?

  Method 1

  If you have any security software installed on your computer, disable them temporarily and check if you are able to download the file and check if it helps.
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2

  Make sure that the following settings are correct in internet options.
  a. close all Internet Explorer Windows that are currently open.
  b. open Internet Explorer by clicking Start, and then click Internet Explorer.
  c. click on tools and then click Internet Options.
  d. click on the Security tab, click Internet and then click on the custom level button.
  e. scroll down to the downloads category and download the Enable value.
  f. click OK and then click Yes.

  Change Internet Explorer security settings

• How to fix audio and video?

  Yes while watching a video (whether on Youtube, etc.) or a downloaded in Quicktime video format will stop after a minute and the buffer or simply freeze (Note: though it has already loaded or is already on my hard drive!), will be so audio. After 15 seconds the sound plays and the video remains frozen.

  Same thing while listening to music (Spotify or Itunes (both downloaded)), the music will stop randomly. After a few seconds, the music will continue with a whistling noise that fades in 5 seconds approximately.

  It started a month ago, and since then, I have tried several things:

  Reinstallation of Flash

  Update of Flash and any other update like OSx

  My mac to a timemachine image backup

  tried several different browsers

  tried several different wireless LANs (although Itunes etc. do not need those)

  has ran a Virus Scan

  Nothing has done so far. I don't know what to try anymore.

  
  

  So my question is:

  
  

  This who can I try to fix this? How can I go to find out if it is a hardware problem? Could a factory reset fix, and not not not using a backup, but simply install new OSX?

• How to fix Firefox and Thunderbird when MozBackup broke?

  Hello.

  We are a small family business. My father, the head of the company, really liked software MozBackup and we use it for a long time now.
  About 2 weeks ago, we bought a new PC for our needs, and while I was configuring it to work, I encountered a major problem. I installed Win7 64 bit, all the drivers needed and software, including FireFox, ThunderBird and MozBackup. Everything was going well until we used MozBackup. FireFox is now having trouble with certificates - for example it shows problems with certificates not approved on Mozilla help sites, google etc. Some Web sites are displayed in plain text, in particular the support pages. Also, it does not play youtube videos - they're starting to buffer and then an error pops up. Uninstalling Firefox and deleting the profile manually do not help, when I run it again it stil has these issues. This stopped after you have reinstalled the OS, but I really don't want to do this again. Thunderbird shows that our private mail server's certificate is not approved, it also has problems with displaying certain messages (not reliable too). All other web browsers works fine. We checked today and it also happened on our new ultrabook with Windows 10, but when we updated Firefox and restored the profile with MozBackup on our old laptop - he didn't plant as on other computers. It seems to happen only with freshly installed Firefox and Thunderbird.

  Could you help us somehow? Is that caused new versions of these programs? I used FF and TB 38.4.0 42.0/43.0. Maybe you could just give me a solution to restore by default, so she would go as it has just been installed? Then we could migrate to Firefox Sync with our profiles.
  We would be very grateful for any help from you.

  See you soon.

  You have restored the cert8.db file?

  There are security software such as Avast and Kaspersky and BitDefender and ESET which intercepts secure connections and sends its own certificate.

  If you cannot inspect the certificate by "I understand the risks", then try this:

  Open the "Add Security Exception" this URL chrome by pasting into the address bar of Firefox and check the certificate:

  • chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.XUL

  In the field of location of this window, type or paste the URL of the Web site.

  • retrieve the certificate via the button 'Get certificate '.
  • Click on the "view..." button. "to inspect the certificate in the certificate display

  You can check details such as the issuer and the certificate chain in the Details tab of the certificate display.
  Check which is the issuer of the certificate.
  If necessary, you can attach a screenshot that shows the display of the certificate.

• How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus security?

  After another year of Norton 360, I got the stupid games of Symantec, tired of the ot, uninstalled and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.  I restarted my computer (Dell Dimension 8200 running Windows XP Pro 2002).  After that, I ran services.msc impatiently as my program of service to show that my antivirus security worked and I had nothing to fear.  Imgine my grief when my service center reported that my computer was always subject to viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other forms of malware.  I thought, perhaps, I had reduced the activity of some vital download too quickly and, therefore, have prevented a good download.  So I tried again, this time with a lot more patience...   This time, I received a message that the program was already on my computer, asking if I wanted to replace it with the new download.  Because the first time I acted in a hurry, I replied that I tried the second download try replacing the Lerna, this time with a lot more patience.  There is no apparent change that showed the Security Center: no protection against the virus.  How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials to act as my antivirus program and my Security Center to recognize it as such?

  Hi David,

  Glad to hear thiings are better. Do not forget to chek that MSE will automatically update the definitions that every 24-48 hours and regular tests are carried out. Also suggest that you go to settings > default Actions and change to quarantine all. don't forget to 'Save changes'. This is recommended to avoid problems such as potentially unwanted programs and the removal of the odd false positive.

  You are definitely not alone in your skepticism about Norton and other paid for antimalware solutions.

  Feel free to mark my initial response as response and/or useful.

  Have a day without malware.

  Kind regards
