• How will I know if my computer has been compromised by a scammer to phone?

  My boss's mother got a call from scam you call Microsoft: your computer has a virus. They convinced her that they were trying to help. She turned on her computer and did a few things, then she felt uncomfortable and hung toward the top of the phone. How do I know if its system is in trouble. They advised him to shut down the computer. What can do us?

  Its a total scam. Uninstall their software and then perform a system restore before you install.
  Change all your sensitive passwords at all sites - e-mail, Bank, credit cards and others. (Do not
  on the computer compromise and it would be better to do it on the phone or in person.)

  You can even restore your system to factory fresh to make sure their software violates not
  your security. (Ways to re - install Windows Clean - removing everything on the backup drive so all the data
  before hand.)

  Follow these steps carefully:

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

• How will I know if my iPhone has been jail-broken?

  I saw a lot of messages pretending involved it is easy to say or know if your phone was jailbroken - but I don't know how - & recently paid someone who claimed to be able to judge it for me - but since nobody could not go back to iCloud, I have my doubts RE: knowledge / skills.

  Could someone please explain how to know if your iPhone has been jail broken or not?

  FYI: I have the iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.0.2 128 GB.

  Thank you!

  If your iPhone is jailbroken, it would have an application named "Cydia" on this subject. If you're still concerned if your device is jailbroken, restoration should get rid of any jailbroken software.

  It is important to understand that Cydia is not an application that is affiliated or approved by Apple somehow.

  Please note that jailbreaking your is not recommended because it put the your security at risk of.

• How will I know if the history has been erased?

  Of course, if the whole story is off, you know. But because FF provides partial compensation, how do I know if this has been done? I know I need probably better parental controls in place; This is a problem. But still, I would like to know how do I know if the story is partially cleared.

  You can not. If you want to keep track of the Web sites that are visited, then you need to install a program like netnanny to control this traffic.

• How will I know that my system has been compromised by typing "Netstat" in the menu run?

  I ran a few patches to enable or download the full version of the software. I read that crackers/Hackers instill Trojan horses to any system by doing this. When I type "Netstat" in the run menu and click on "Enter". Netstat.exe presents a set of IP addresses from a local or foreign address. So connections are made! Should I be afraid? Is it a matter of worry? (Trying to figure out I look at the image as an attachment).

  

  If it is, then what to do? Note, I have my Windows Firewall on! Expert advice is preferable. Just get the load off of me, please! Oh, my system is not stuck. She seems to be ok. In addition, how can I know my system is compromised or something? I use Windows Media Center Pro v x 64 bit 8. Antivirus: Windows Defender [not updated].

  If the firewall cannot stop H/Crackers, what are the use of that? I use Home Network, I share all of the files or folders. What do you mean, Dr. Watson? If my system is very vulnerable to Hackers/Crackers, should what steps I follow?

  Please, be specific. Have you looked at the attached picture? What did he say? Is it a matter of worry? When I connected to the internet, these connections were established immediately or via the [unknown] servers. Please talk Netstat.exe and image I have uploaded.

  You can follow as easily as everyone down the owners of a given IP address.  This isn't a problem with Microsoft if you infected or infested with your machine.  ;-)
   
  Start plugging the IP addresses at the end of this in a browser...

• How will I know if stmnt SELECT has been issued on a specific Table?

  Hello
  
  I have a reporting environment where the tables are populated by selective information from the database of production through batch scripts. These tables have become HUGE over time and management wants to know if any user uses the table either drop them. A USER will be only matter a SELECT command and is not responsible for any INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE to query the table DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS is not a great help.
  
  My question is: is there a way to know if one of these tables under the concern had been interrogated (using SELECT) in the recent past?

  Hello

  Best option is to use the audit of fine-grained and information once it is collected, you can drop this policy; Using entire audit will be an overdose.

  GRANT SELECT ON dba_fga_audit_trail TO ;
  
  grant exexute on dbms_fga to ;

     DBMS_FGA.add_policy (object_schema => 'SCHEMA_NAME',

                          policy_name => 'TABLE_DML',

  Hello

  You can never ensure that the 'crook' has no plant malware or a virus in your PC.  These companies exist since then and claim to be representative of the major PC companies and ISP services and they are very careful about not to inform you of the real name. Usually they simply log, run software and then claim to have solved a problem (that never really existed).

  If you are uncomfortable about what happened then I recommend you to perform a full recovery of HP using the external recovery media.  Backup your data before recovery.  Be sure to close any newspaper if created IDs and remote capability.

  Bottom line: If some calls saying that your PC has a virus and then hang up.

  These Tools Norton are very good to the discovery and repair of malicious software issues and viruses.

  Hello

  Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

  It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
  account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
