Issues of protection antiviruss and gadgets

I have a few questions about security in my Windows 7 computer:

1. is gadgets in Windows 7 safe to use? I've heard people and websites said gadgets should be disabled for security reasons (for example, in this Web site: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=112590)
2. some antivirus programs are designed for use with other antivirus programs (I think they're called companion anti-virus program). What is the different between these designed progams anti-virus with that normal?
3. concerning the two questions above, I have just installed 60 seconds Bitdefender antivirus with my original program I already installed, ESET NOD32 Antivirus anti-virus. This Bitdefender anti-virus is also designed to work with other antivirus. Is this good for my computer? Second, the antivirus of 60 seconds put something on my desktop as a gadget screen. When I close it to open the program antivirus of 60 seconds, he handed the gadget on the screen. That means that the program can not open in a window. It's a gadget and it is safe too? Thanks for any response.
It's the image of my desktop screen with the gadget of anti-virus of 60 seconds (where the arrow point to): http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3761/capturehjl.png

Hello

Welcome to the Microsoft community!

I understand that you have some questions about security in Windows 7.

Gadgets installed from reliable sources are fine but are no longer available for download. Therefore, unless you really want to use a specific gadget, it can be disabled.

Hope this information is helpful and let me know if you need additional assistance.

  • vROPs and SRM - protected Machines and placeholder VMs have different guest free space operating system

    Hi all

    Question: Home - health - screen 'one or more machines virtual comments file systems are running out of disk space' has different values for MRS. protect VMs and VMs placeholder.

    Someone has to meet a gap with machines SRM protected value of free space of different OS comments that the position expressed VM?   I've been enforcing a cleaning of the guests with < 5% free space.  When we clean up the comments, the alert is cleared almost immediately on the VM protégé (power on), but the position expressed VM is never a present according to vROPs value.

    Is this a known issue? Is the problem with SRM or vROPs.  Are the vCenters related with MRS supported?

    I'm under vRops 6.2.0.3528905 build 3528905.  We use array based replication and have a GB link between sites.  Replication occurs in less than 5 minutes, so this shouldn't be a problem.  I can still see the question once a day and VMS space have yet to synchronize or to get close in value to their counterpart protect VM.

    Thank you

    Luis C.

    So after a discussion with the SRM team and vRealize Operations Manager, has identified vRealize treated VMs placeholder as ordinary VMs.   The interesting thing is that when a failover test is running that hard drives are connected to the VM placeholder.  All the information from disk are ingested in the vCenter site recovery.   Later this was my problem.  I had to open a feature request.  If any of you are in the same boat please do the same so they'll add logic in to MRS.   At the moment my solution was to create a dynamic group for turning off VMs and join the dynamic group to a policy with disabled alarms.

    Hello

    I suggest to run the following command and check to see if it helps.

    To fix Windows Update errors, use Deployment Image Servicing and Management.

    1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    2 type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.

    o DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    o DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.

    I tried to insert a password to protect a document that I send. He told me to add a service that I paid for. I'm still not able to protect document and install a password. I went to tools-Protect but he always tells me that I have to pay for this service after I did. How can I add a password to open my document?

    Hi cj47163119,

    You need Acrobat application to secure your document with password. It seems that you use Acrobat Reader.

    Acrobat Reader is a free service and do not have this option.

    If you have Acrobat subscription, you can download it here: Download Adobe Acrobat products. Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X

    For more help, see this KB doc: Security with passwords, Adobe Acrobat PDF files

  • Are there still known issues with Lightoom 5 and El Capitan with respect to attachment? I know that problems have been resolved with CC Lightoom

    Are there still known issues with Lightoom 5 and El capitan with respect to attachment? I know that problems have been resolved with Lightoom CC.  I looked on the Internet but most of the references are Lightoom CC.  Ive got all the updates with Lightoom 5, (Camera RAW 8.1), but also Apple, (El Capitan 10.11.3), but my Nikon D800 will not always tie.

    HAL P Anderson wrote:

    The problem is in the SDK (SDK) of Nikon. He used features of OS that changed with El Cap. All previous versions of LR were broken by the Exchange operating system. For LR 5 to work, it must be associated with the new SDK of Nikon, and Adobe is not reissue of older versions.

    The result is: LR5 and previous versions will continue to not be able to attach Nikon under El Capitan. I'm sorry.

    HAL

    Although what you say is maybe true, I'm not sure, but there were reports of people that says exactly the opposite. Home of Nikon has not worked in 2015/6 but continued to work in LR 5 on the same Mac running 10.11.x.

    Problem:

    I've had enough material resources, in fact, I had twice the disk space and memory to four times more in the reception of news

    When migrating virtual machines in ESXI 4 server and get Vcentener turn it on the message "this VM could not become vSphere protected HA and HA cannot attempt to restart after a power failure.  "

    I do not understand because the servers have resources, I can't find what is wrong.

    Should I use another method of migration?

    Once that you have migrated, can solve this problem without re-migration of computers?

    I found this post, but it's no imformation. This VM could not become vSphere protected HA and HA cannot attempt to restart after failure of.

  • SRM protected LUN and RecoverPoint replicated Lun

    We run VMware SRM 5.0 and RecoverPoint 3.4 SP2.  Running 5.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.0. The problem that we get and the VMware SRM and EMC RP support response are conflicting with each other.  Our SRM failover process failed because the DR replicated LUNs was not detected during the scan HBA.  VMware support said that the replicated LUN doesn't have to be added to the storage of VMware on our VNX5300 (DR) group.  Logic unit number is added to the storage PR group.  SRM/RP will present the LUN in VMware as part of the SRM failover process.  EMC, tells us that the replica LUN must be present in VMware and storage of RP group.

    The failover process does not end until we added the LUNs replicated in the VMware storage group.  However, we have tested previously other SRM protected LUNS and this has never been necessary.  Can anyone provide specific details on RecoverPoint requirement to add the LUNS replicated in the VMware storage group?

    Thank you

    EMC is correct!  The target of replication LUNS must be in a group of storage with your hosts ESXi on the VNX for a test to run successfully.  I'll usually create a storage for a VMware cluster group, add LUN replication target and leave them there.  Of course, the Group of storage for all data, journal and repository LUN RecoverPoint must also exist with all the Rwandan Patriotic Army.

  • iPhone 6 more issues of button "home" and turn off the questions

    I have two separate issues with my iPhone 6 more

    9.3.2 software (updated to try to solve this problem - question began before the software upgrade)

    My iPhone only more 6 works randomly.  I'm still able to make calls and use the phone, but the phone is constantly interrupted by these two questions.

    "Slide to turn off" or button 'Cancel' at the bottom

    (1) the phone asks me to "Slide to Power Off" - at the top of the button slide phone - with a cancel downstairs.  Slide and turn it back on does NOT resolve this problem.

    "Home" button is to take a screenshot of my current screen randomly.

    (2) when you press the button of my house, he takes a picture of my current screen instead of Act works as a home screen button.  This can happen 1 time or 10 times in a row before the home button functions correctly.

    Here is a screenshot of the camera to illustrate various photos taken.

    I did all the updates

    I did tap hard downs

    I backed up my phone and tried to reset to factory settings

    These are the questions randomly but are very common - a question of these two issues with caused during the use of the phone to navigate or "Slide to power off" appears randomly if the phone is not in use.

    Please help with any suggestions!

    Your sleep/wake button is pressed somehow. You have a form any case suitable for your phone that covers this button? If not, the sensor that presses the Sleep/Wake button against is missed ignition. As you even tried a factory restore, it may be clear that the problem occurs because of a case that is pressing the button somehow or the switch has gone bad.

  • Is there a known issue with Firefox 21 and Citrix ICA Client?

    After the upgrade to FireFox 21 my browser can no longer detect that I installed the Citrix ICA Client and he pushes me whenever I try to run a file from the internet .ica. After several facilities of the ICA Client to the guests, including the uninstall completely and then put it back, I ignored the prompt and tried to launch the .ica file. It will launch 1 single .ica window regardless of the number of .ica files I click on. (Firefox 20 would allow me to run several sessions citrix both.) Also, when the 1 citrix session is open, if I minimize it or make another program to the foreground the .ica window becomes black and is no longer usable because you can't see anything in this window.
    Is this a known issue?
    Currently, I had to uninstall version 21 and found a version 20.0.1 Ive installed to disable automatic updates.

    Sorry mate, but what do you mean by appeared in its characteristics?
    If the HARD drive protection utility is not installed by default, the laptop does not seem to be equipped with a sensor HARD drive protection.

    > 2. The sound of the laptop is very low, even if the 'srs premium sound hd' is enabled. All audio drivers are up to date.

    There are not a lot to do to ensure that all volume controllers have the highest value.
    You can do this in Control Panel-> sound-> the Read tab
    You will find various reading devices. Right-click on the device (speakers) and choose Properties.
    Here you can set the volume level

    Of course, you can click on the small speaker icon in the toolbar display volume control
