Security issues with Zip files

Let me start by saying that I have already disabled UAC on my Vista machine because I have trouble trying to do simple things like rename or delete a directory that I created.  Now, I have a problem with Zip files.  It seems that when I try to open a zip file that is sent to me by email I receive now an error message stating:

Windows found that this file is potentially harmful.

To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file.

Name: Images for contest mar09

How does it help protect my computer?

How indeed?  There is no option for me to go forward with this.  I'm trying like Vista, but these continuous dams to my productivity are killing me.  Can someone tell me how I can get it?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Rick

Hi Rick,

Your image has not come through.  What type of program you use for email? This happens with all files zip or just this one?

Try to right click on the file and save it.  Scan it with your antivirus to make sure.  Right-click on the file that you saved, and then select Properties.  Look down and see if there is an entry of security telling you that the file is blocked.  If you are sure that it is virus-free, click the Unlock button.

Let me know if this helps.

  • Security issues with PDF files

    Hi all

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. When a document is scanned by me or anyone else a number of features is "grey." For example, I have a document of 14 pages scanned by a colleague, and when I go to Document > extract pages to turn the Pages is grayed out. I checked the security settings for the document and all restrictions are allowed on the document. When opened by other people, they do not have this problem. How to solve this? The same goes when I scan documents as well.

    If it helps, it is said that I consult this document in PDF/A mode.  Help!

    'Making available' does not affect the status of PDF/A. As a short-term solution, you can select 'Never' in view PDF documents: dropdown under Edit > Preferences > Documents Panel.

  • Security issues with Win7 and CS4

    In CS4, when I try to save a file to which I made a change, I get the message:

    «Cannot save N...» (title) because the file is locked. "Use the Properties command in Windows Explorer to open the file"

    Really? I have a few tens of thousands of files that, if I want to add a layer and save it, I must return to the bridge, look in Solution Explorer, click Properties, and change "All Users" for total control.

    It's obscene!

    When I'm here, "Everyone" is put in evidence and the fact that the permissions read and read/execute, on the Security tab. The file is not locked so I know the area 'Read' is empty. I can change the permissions, but it's good for only that one file and when you look at the security settings in the world, "Everyone" is not listed.

    I need to find a global way around that, and I'm not. I am logged on as administrator, and I know that there is another layer of admin. Can only be invoked in the world and how? Is this the right way or is there another? Is it a Photoshop problem or a problem with the OS?

    Thank you!

    The owner must be administrators and your username must be a member of this group if you want to change the files. The Everyone group has very limited rights.

    And you must look under the safety not only of Security/Advanced/owner.

  • Security issues with workbook

    There seems to be some security issues. Can a good man trying to explain the process why the user is not able to display the output. To resolve this problem, what are the actions I have to do.

    Hello

    The security package verifies that the current user can see the Organization passed as a parameter. She will probably do by getting the current responsibility of the user to the resp_id located in the FND_GLOBAL package. It checks then probably an inventory organization profile to determine the organizations to which that responsibility has access.

    However, it looks like a custom so security package you should examine the code inside the packaging to know what security profiles are used.

    I could not connect on my laptop, the said invalid user profile.  Then I found a unauthorized access to my Microsoft Account which took place the same day a security update has been through.  I see how to fix my user profile, but ask yourself what has happened and how to make sure I'm sure.  Also can I report this to Microsoft?  Yes, I changed all my passwords! I also received an email from spam with my old gmail password.  Yes, I've changed that too.

  • Security issues with dynamic loading

    Hello

    I am trying to run a simple RMI example that uses the dynamic class loading but I've hit a problem I can not move - can anyone help?

    The problem I have, is that when I run my client program, I get the exception listed at the bottom of my post.

    I have the following in my server called WarehouseServer class:
       System.setProperty("java.security.policy", "server.policy");  
       System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager());  
    I have the a server.policy file located in the same folder as my server class:
        grant {    
            permission java.security.AllPermission "", "";    
        };   
    I run my server using the following command:

    * {noformat} java - Djava.rmi.server.codebase = http://localhost: 8080 / WarehouseServer {noformat} *.

    I also tried to start the server by using this command:

    * {noformat} java - Djava.rmi.server.codebase = http://localhost: 8080 /-Djava.security.policy = server.policy WarehouseServer {noformat} *.

    But in both cases, I get the same exception when executing my client program.

    You don't have a security manager in the server or in a windows .policy file either, unless the server will download code itself, which is not a normal scenario.

  • Permissions issue with the files exported from Adobe last, CC on Mac 10.10.4 Yosemite

    Hello

    I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011) running on Yosemite 10.10.4 was last updated. I've updated all my apps creative cloud to the last update as well. My problem is this: I can use applications very well (except that they must constantly force quit instead of exit normally... but this could be another story) and I can export files. However, even when you export a file to the desktop, when I try to open it, I get an error message indicating that I don't have permission to view it. This happens in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign - all the ones I use regularly.

    To see if there is a problem with my mac, I ran disk utility and repair permissions. I restarted in recovery also and terminal mode to reset my user password. Nothing has solved the problem of permissions and what I tested other applications (such as Text Edit), it seems to be limited to Adobe CC. I don't know if this has started to happen when I updated the CC or when I updated to Yosemite last or if it is a problem between the two.

    Any idea?

    Juliet

    I think that it was 10.10.3 but can be useful

    Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to the 'default' permissions that need to be changed

  • Security issue with APEX LDAP authorization

    Hello
    We use LDAP authentication in our applications. Now, the ADMINISTRATOR stressed that all passwords are saved in the logs if monitor you the session apex_public_user with dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable (you define binds to true to get the parameters passed).

    Although it could be argued that a user how is allowed to run dbms_monitor should be a s/n trust, the requirement is to hide passwords in logs. To my knowledge, it is impossible to do, or am I have wrong here?

    If this is true, is the only option to use safely LDAP is for the browser authenticate directly, without going through any logic apex?

    Best regards

    Jürgen

    Hi Jürgen,

    How your custom permission of LDAP look like? You call the APEX_LDAP package? If you want to avoid the bind variable in this context to prevent their record in the trace file, you can use the V function instead. For example:

    if apex_ldap.is_member (
           p_username => :P101_USERNAME,
           p_pass     => V('P101_PASSWORD'),
           ... ) then
