My Internet Shield is activated, how can I stop this?

Original title: internet access... the shield is on... visible to others... question.

My Internet Shield is on. It says information may be visible to others. I'm on the same router and the IP address (in the same House). All I could do to stop this? And that's easy to do? Currently we are in the same House.

When you type in a program like word and that you do not need access to the internet, no one would see what you're doing. However if you use the Web site to write something and send it, when the site is encrypted (see padlock next to address bar), you're safe, but if the site is not secure, then when you send information over the internet it will be visible.

Note that in general people seem to see no transitions and what you do in the network at all, unless they install software.

  • iPhone 5 Ios 9.2 my photos off WiFi have tend to be blurry how can I stop this to keep download when I reconnect to WiFi?

    My iphone 5 iOs 9.2 my photos off wifi have tend to be blurry how can I stop this to keep download when I reconnect to wifi?

    Hello Mikecici,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that your photos will look blurry, whenever your iPhone is not connected to the Wi - Fi.  This indicates that you probably iCloud library enabled with the option of storage optimize.  If you have cellular data disabled for Photos, which would prevent photos life-size uploaded without a Wi - Fi.  To learn more about iCloud photo library, please take a look at the information in the link below.

    Can I use iCloud photo library to save space on my device?

    iCloud photo library automatically keeps all of your photos and videos in the original version, in high resolution. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:

    • On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > pictures or settings > Photos & camera, then select a storage parameter.
    • On your Mac, click on Photos > Preferences > iCloud, and select a storage parameter.

    If you turn on [device] Optimize storage, iCloud photo library manages automatically the size of your library on your device, you can make the most of your device storage and access photos more than ever. All of your original photos, full resolution and the videos are stored in iCloud while unit size versions are stored on your device. You can download original photos and videos over Wi - Fi or cell phone when you need it.

    If you turn on download original, iCloud photo library will keep your original, full resolution photos and videos on iCloud and on your device. Download the originals is the default setting for iOS devices with 5 GB free storage plan and all Mac devices.

    You need an Internet connection to access a photo original or video that is stored only in iCloud.

    Hello

    1. you receive an error message/code?

    2. is the question confined with Internet explore?

    I suggest the following steps and check if it solves the problem.

    Method 1: I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

     

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    Note: After you perform a clean boot, follow these as to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state from the article above.

    Method 2: search your computer of viruses and malware.

    Viruses and malicious software (malware) can cause often Internet Explorer slow down or stop working.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for the use of antivirus software that offers continuous protection. For a real-time protection that helps you keep your home or small office PC against viruses, spyware and other malicious software, download Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost.

    Method 3: Let us first start the SFC scan and check if there are any file system corruption. You need windows XP disk to perform the analysis.

    1 put the Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM.
    2. click on 'Quit' if the auto-menu appears.
    3. click on 'Start', then click on 'run '.
    4. Type "SFC/scannow" (without the quotes) in the "Open" box, then click on 'OK '.

    Note: There is a space between "SFC" and "/ Scannow".

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  • Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the screen. How can I stop this?

    Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the Web page. How can I stop this?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

    When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

    Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

    I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

    Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

    Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
