If my URL shows my connection as http: instead of https: am I at risk of being hacked? If so, how should I do?

A friend on FB said that if my URL box does not show as starting with https: (instead of http :) I am at risk of being hacked. I fixed it to FB, but all my other sites are coming as http:
Is it really something to worry about?

http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure

most of the sites is http, and all the sites when you you redirect in some mode of payment (paypal, greditcard etc.) reverse to https for secure maximum.

  • Network and sharing Center shows not connected, but the computer is connected to the wireless network

    When I open the network and sharing Center, or hold my mouse pointer on the icon of internet connection in the bottom right of the taskbar, it shows that I'm not connected to a network. However, I know that I'm connected to the internet. My internet and e-mail work correctly. Also, when I click on the 'Connect to a network' option, find the list of available wireless networks, and it shows that I'm connected to my home network. How can I make Windows everywhere where I am connected to the internet, instead of recognizing only on the list of the networks without wire-available?

    Had exactly the same problem on Windows 7 (win7). Connected to the Internet but the status showing no connection and a red cross on the network icon. Problem has also caused problems to connect to Lync and Office365 along with VPN, which apparently uses the status to check whether the connection is available.

    Found the solution here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/df17c593-e78f-4878-97b0-7569307934c5

    Apparently, certain permissions gets hurt in the database record and must be fixed using RegEdit. The solution is a step by step and likely to be resolved simply by removing a cache of file using RegEdit and potentially affecting certain permissions.

    It will be useful.

  • Computer shows as connected... but we can not access the internet.

    Original title: but alas... internet no.

    Recently, we had this problem where our shows as connected pc... but we can not access the internet.  What I've been able to solve, is that somehow my IP settings change.

    I'm going to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically", but of course... when the problem occurs again I find that my "Obtain DNS server automatically an address" has been changed to "use the following DNS server address".

    What is causing my computer to change my settings?

    I think you're DIY too.  Normally, your computer and your wireless router assign dynamic IP addresses, and they change periodically - that is part of the security design.

    In your case, the DNS server is the router.

    Most of the time what you describe is your computer is able to find a wireless router but the router doesn't send an IP (its normal function).

    This is usually:

    1. Your Internet service provider is down or your connection to it is broken.  If this is the case there is nothing you can do about it.
    2. Your computer network security key does not match the one in the router.

    1 reset the modem & router.  Follow these instructions precisely: http://canadiantech.info/?page_id=136

    2. If that does not resolve the problem, you must remove this network from your list of networks to manage Windows 7.  Then try to connect again using the network key, you know.

    3. If this does not work, you will need to do a factory reset on the router and re - install the router according to the router set up instructions.

    4. If after all the above does not correct the problem, you must replace your router.

  • problem to connect to http WI - FI

    I'm triying to connect to HTTP using a WI - FI connection, but it gives an exception:

    net.rim.device.cldc.io.dns.DNSException: DNS error

    Error code: 7. This error occurs in the las line copied below.

    This is the code:

     HttpConnection conn;

        byte[] file = null;
    
        try

            String URL = urlupdate + ";deviceside=true;interface=wifi";
            conn = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(URL);
    

    The URL is:

    http://localhost/vademecum/Pepe.doc;deviceside=true;interface=WiFi

    The Simulator has WiFi connection.

    I read another post, but none helps me.

    I await your comments.

    Thank you

    I agree that removing '; deviceside = true' could help.

    Also, AFAIK, the Simulator just wit localhost.  How about try the IP address of your PC, since this seems to be what you are trying to "reach".

  • Windows 7 network icon systems do not show popup connections

    Normally, when you simply right click on the Windows 7 network icon in the system tray, it opens a window showing your connections and available all other connections. Now however, after using the laptop for several hours, and after that unlocks a few Office and a resumption of the mode standby, this no longer works. I click and nothing happens. The only way I can access this is right-click on the icon, open the network and sharing Center then click on "connect or disconnect." It is a pain I need to connect/disconnect continuously different VPN.

    If I re-boot it starts working again. I can't find the exact scenario to make, work stoppage, but it happens regularly.

    Hope there is a fix for this.

  • Sites only show that connected primary vcenter.

    Hello. I'm under SRM with vCenter 5.1 5.1.1 update 1. Primary and secondary sites separated by a physical firewall. I followed the KB on ports:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & externalId = 1009562

    I tested with telnet and I can connect successfully to SRM primary vCenter over 80 remote and vice versa remotely SRM to primary vCenter. Each vCenter can communicate successfully with their own local server of MRS. more 8095. In the primary vCenter, I am able to successfully establish the reciprocity, and after that I am prompted for the remote vCenter creds, I see both sites successfully connected.

    Now, when I jump on the remote vCenter (recovery site) I'm able to establish reciprocity between the two sites, but when the prompt to enter creds for the remote vCenter (main site), I get an error that comes up as "Impossible to connect to the remote server.

    Not sure where the problem lies. Any help most appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Stefan. Thanks for the reply. Only, I solved the problem. I asked our guys to firewall to create a rule to recovery side vCenter for the side protected vCenter via port 80/443. Yes, for vCenter vCenter. As soon as this rule, he creates my side recovery shows two connected sites. Now, the strange thing is that under knockout of SRM firewall rules, there is no vCenter vCenter rule to:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalID=1009562

    The only reason for which I asked him to add this rule was because for some reason that was open from protected to recovery (port 80/443) vCenter vCenter and the side protected SRM plugin has been successfully showing as connected. Probably a good idea to include this item for later use.
