Security options for Hotmail (once offered Standard or high-security)

Last year and this year, by signing on Hotmail one option has been provided for Standard or high security.  I don't recall that consisted of a statement of what the definitions of 'Standard' or 'High security' or that the option has been removed.

Please provide:
(1) an explanation of the difference between the two are in terms of technology used
(for example, Microsoft uses default SSL between browser and their servers?) and,
(2) what happened to this option and what is the current level of protection of the input/output related email
through hotmail from Microsoft and other email services?

Thank you.

  • Disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail and problems with the Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows updates.

    Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!

    I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!

    Thank you

  • No option for the email address for the import

    I import the list of 'people' to outlook.com in a csv file. When I get the choice to realign the fields of address book to import data record, there is no option for 'email address' in the record to bind to data. Everything what is important is the name and surname of the person (which I chose) but I want their email also. Have I missed something or if the e-mail option has been deleted for some reason any?

    OK, I created a file OutlookContacts.csv in my Hotmail account and haven't tried to import as usual and found, like you, there is no e-mail address in the "Record of import data" column. So, I open the csv file in a csv Editor (CSVed) and found that the e-mail address is in the column 48 of 56 column file. I deleted all the unnecessary columns to make a file of 16 columns. According to realign the records from top to bottom and checking the boxes for the areas concerned, the new csv file imported perfectly.

    I guess that TB has a limit on the number of columns that are read during the import.

  • When I change the Option for the Applications of Document Adobe, Firefox always manages documents in a different way.

    I changed my Options ask me each time I want to do with a pdf document. It does not work. What happens each time I click on a PDF as an attachment in e-mail or on a Web site, is that a Windows Explorer window asks me where I want to save the file. I don't want to save it, just open. I had always presented a selection of Firefox in the past, but the box Firefox offering options for me is no longer appears. I tried to change my Options/Applications in different ways, but the practice seems so have no effect at all. I'm using Firefox 27.0.1 on a Windows 7 operating system.

  • When you select a contact in your contacts list which does not use an iPhone, are the menu options for this contact that is supposed to display text green or blue?

    Hi there, this is not necessarily a problem, but I was wondering if you could awnswer this. I recently adding some new contacts to my contact list, who are both using android phones is said by the way and noticed that options for these contacts, such as: Send Message, share contact, add to Favorites, block this caller, as well as the options of call and text, are all displayed in blue text. I could have sworn at a certain point my contact options were displayed in green text for users of android and blue text only if this contact was using an iPhone. So I looked through my contacts, I needed to update some of my contacts anyway information and discovered that even the options of contact for non-iPhone users were posted in a blue text. I know that iMessage is always displayed in blue, and that regular messages always appear green, it is always the case when I text someone. I know that's really not a big deal, but still when I really could have sworn that the colors are different depending on whether my contacts using iPhones or not. Don't know if a blue font for the selection of these options would have is part of an update or not, or if it was always supposed to be the appearance of these options. If you could tell me what colors your iPhones display when you select a contact from your contact list, and if this would be something that would be possible to change if these colors are supposed to differ, it would be highly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this, once again, I know this is really not very problematic, but I am always curious about it. Thanks to a bouquet.

    This text is blue, no matter that the person has an iPhone, Android phone, landline phone or not phone. Contacts don't 'knows' what kind of phone is connected to the number.

  • not enough options for the SSD drives?

    I intend to buy a desktop XPS 8700 special edition. I am disappointed that it doesn't give options for this model - for hard drives, only "2 TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s + 256 GB SSD"-which is obviously a good combination, but for me, I think that a smaller SSD drive would be nice. "" Otherwise, I like the rest of the system. A friend who built his own PC says it has installed an SSD of 128 G and it is sufficiently large with Win8, MS Office, Photoshop and other large programs installed.

    So it of just a comment, is not a problem, but I hope that Dell would offer more options, including a drive to 3 or 4. A Dell technician suggested going to road work stations - but when I looked there, I was a little confused on the readers - workstations all seem to have several readers, probably for Raid configurations, which is something over my head and on my needs.

    Or is it a good idea to have a lot of free space on the SSD drive?

    Hi Hellogoodby,

    Thanks for your comments. It isn't that much of a difference in cost between the 128 GB and 256 GB SSD. Dell is probably buying in bulk from the right and customer demand now, most people want 256 GB or more. You are absolutely right that 128 GB is plenty for the OS and applications. I have a 250 GB Samsung Evo and have used less than 50 GB for the operating system, office and all my other apps.

Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article: back up the registry in Windows 7

  • Hi, I'm new to animate so please be patient if this is a silly question. Problems with receiving the option loop 'play once' in the properties panel to work.

    Hello world

    I created a graphic symbol, then a test fast and then selected animation symbol on the stage (this did not bring the loop for me option in the properties panel initially), when I chose the last keyframe of the animation in question then selected the symbol on the stage, I was then only able to access the loop drop-down list in the properties panel. However, after you select 'play once' and test movie he continued to loop.

    Has tried to enter the symbol (in vase clos-sorry not sure of the exact terminology) and created the animation, then left the isolation and made sure that the animation was enough images in the scenario main and tried and still had a continuous loop.

    I used the stop(); action on a clip before that worked well, but who did a very basic animation; This requires several objects moving and stop at different times and I found the stop action interrupts the entire animation at that time here.

    So I have 2 questions:

    How we use the function 'play once' to make it work because that seems like the easiest option for what I want to achieve.

    Or how to effectively use code to stop and start the animation when I need to?

    Thank you in advance for your help!
