How will I know if a site is secure (which is displayed padlock symbol)?

The 'old' version had a status bar which displays a lock symbol if the site IE encrypted data has been secured. How can I find out the current version?

To give a more complete answer:

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 The lock feature has been replaced by the identity button of the Site on the left end of the address bar (address).

This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0

If you want an icon of padlock also then install this Extension.

    In safari how do I know if the site I bookmark is an existing already or not?

    I bookmarked many sites and it is very difficult to follow and to organize because safari does not indicate if the site is set bookmark or not.

    I think it's a very obvious feature.

    I really don't understand why safari does not offer this feature simple when all other browsers.

    If anyone knows an extension that will solve this problem please let me know.

  • Laptop had a problem to "Solve a problem with PSIKey", solution from Windows & installed according to the instructions. How will I know that the problem is solved?

    has stopped working properly.

    An update is available that solves this problem.

    Downloaded Update site Web Protexis, Inc. and told to follow the steps in the installation wizard. The file downloaded and said he was setting up installation. Then after a few seconds, the box has disappeared and nothing else happened. How will I know if this problem has actually been resolved? My laptop has shown 6 problems with this unit from 30/07/11-08/12/11, where the unit has stopped working. Because I don't know what it is yet, I don't know really if the problem is solved or not. What should I do at this point? I have a SP2 7520-5185, running Vista Home Premium, Acer-Aspire. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello

    If you have installed a trial or paid a licensed version of Corel software products, you probably may notice a third unannounced software application makes its way into your computer too. The program is PSIService.exe by Protexis, which installs a Protexis V2 of Licensing Windows operating system service or Protexis licensing service.

    PSIService belongs to protect DRM (digital rights management) copy protection and license management software, which is intended to protect an application or software against piracy and illegal copying. Thus PSI service is normally installed by another program, such as Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X 2, Corel Paint Shop Pro XI (X 1), Corel Paint Shop Pro X, that uses its service to collect information of license to repatriate much like spyware, protect copy and authenticate the user who is using an authentic version of the program.

    When you tried to download and install the program, if the box that says closed the dialog box when the download is complete has been verified, it will close the dialog box.

    I suggest that you restart the computer and check if you get an error message.

  • HP Envy 4500 - How will I know if I need to update the firmware?

    I just bought a HP Envy 4500.  The version of the installed firmware is MKM1FN1322BR.   The firmware on the HP site is MKM1FA1322BR.   How will I know if my firmware is older?

    Also, I tried to plug the printer directly via USB to update with the update of the firmware, and it does not work.  I try to use 'Start Again' several times, but nothing changes.   I disabled the wireless and even restarted the printer and it still does not work.  Local printer (USB) has been selected by default.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit and the file being used is HPCOM_HP_ENVY_4500_series_x64_000_003.exe.

    Help, please.

    Jeremy

    Hi @judremy

    Version codes sometimes differ depending on how the Unit received its last update, so you don't have to worry about different codes. Updates can be received thought the site manually or via the Web Services menu on the printer itself.

    You have the printer connected to your wireless network? If so, the version you have had likely been obtained of the printer itself.

    Is there a problem you encounter that lead you to this mission of firmware, or are you simply being proactive in any ESC?

    If there is something I can help with that let me know.

  • How will I know if I can use wireless headphones on my HP Pavillion DV7 running on Windows 7?

    I have a HP Pavillion DV7 Windows 7 & would like to buy headphones wireless instead of the smaller earbuds that came with it.  How do I know if I can use it as most of the sites such as eBay requires your PC to be Bluetooth compatible so that their specific work wireless headphones.  How will I know if my phone is bluetooth compatible?  I searched what little paperwork came with it, but don't know where else to find this information & don't want to buy headphones which doesn't work on my laptop & end up having to return them.  I am not very savvy PC so I'm sure that somewhere in the software there are some information about it, but I don't know how or where to find it on my laptop.  I could really use the skills of a person to solve this dilemma bit I'll have too simple as it may seem to most of you, the experts there, but for a "newbie" like me, it's all Greek to me!

    Please, can someone help me understand what to do or where to find this information.  Is somewhere in the control panel?  I'm just at a loss about where to find this kind of information on my own laptop & feel like a true dummie here, people!  I just want to be able to listen to stereo to my Netflix movies & other programs I have on my laptop with a nice set of headphones but I need to be sure everything I buy is compatible with my laptop.

    Hello Sam51

    According to the data sheet for your computer it has not built in the Bluetooth adapter. Fortunately, there is another option, there are devices called Bluetooth adapters that fit in one of your USB ports. Newegg sells them at a reasonable pace, but you can also buy them from most electronic stores may be in your area.

    Please answer as soon as possible.

    Thank you
