Security Windows 8.1 request?

G ' Day American,.

I am curious with the trumpetted of much improved Windows 8.1 security, must be still 3rd party software?

I am currently paying for AVG and Malwarebytes, but in the absence of an income, would love to save taxes.

Much appreciated comments or ideas?

JNinOz,

I would continue to use security software. Personally, I have 8.1 Windows installed on my laptop and use the free version of Avast.  Avast has also paid upgrades with greater security, but so far I have had no attacks with the free version. There are also other programs available free anti-virus as well. I don't know if a software is better than the rest. Some try to make your own decision.

  • What can you do to access the password options in the Security window if your Firefox browser does not display the options?

    I want to stop and prevent my Firefox browser to save passwords of Web site, I understand can be done using the Security window.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/security-and-passwords-settings?ESAB=a & s = passwords & r = 1 & s = ACE

    Unfortunately, once you open, the Security window does not display for me password options checkboxes even if that's what the support site says that the browser should do. Can't get the Security window to extend to view other options, which leads to me think that there are no other options.

    Any ideas what I can do about this problem? I'm on Mac OS 10.8.5 and Firefox 30.0. Thanks for the tips!

    In order to exclude extensions as a possible culprit in the dysfunction of the dialog, could you try to open Firefox Safe mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • 3-bar menu button > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • (menu bar) Help > restart with disabled modules

    Firefox has to close, then displays a small dialog box: click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

    Any difference?

  • error code 0x80070426. update of Windows, microsoft security; Windows Defender

    All my Windows products is no longer up-to-date.  I deleted Microsoft OneCare (a wonderful program that will sorely missed me) and installed Microsoft Security.  Next thing I know nothing updates.  In addition, Windows application now that I'm is no longer connected to the Internet even though I am.

    Any suggestions?

    I did run the OneCare cleanup tool before MSE unless it was launched during the uninstall process.

    Most of the other users who replaced OneCare with MSE discovered (the hard way) that they needed run the cleanup tool before installing MSE. There are many discussions on this subject in the MSE start-up and upgrade forum.

  • Security Windows suddenly blocked access to Windows Mail

  • Alert security Windows Vista - presentation are more recognized

    Since 3 days when I turn on my computer, I see the shield red/white X of Windows security alert in the notification area of the taskbar (lower right corner).  When I click on the alert, the message under Protection Malware says: The Shield Deluxe 2009 Antivirus (installed since 6/09) is on, but its status as a statement to the security of Windows in a format that is no longer recognized.   I have rcv automatic updates of Windows and the latest definitions for Defender are installed (KB915597 definition installed on 04/02/10 1.75.377.0 & definition installed on 08/02/10 1.75.517.0.  The Shield Deluxe is auto-updated on a daily basis as well.  I got an alert from Sun Java Update for more than a week now.  Thinking that this might solve the problem, the latest version this AM and restarted.  Always had Windows Security Alert.  The only other thing different I did was run a utility of IYogi - registry cleaner.  An overview of this greatly appreciated glitch!

    After having experienced the same message with the Shield Deluxe on my PC, I called the support staff of the shield. They said not to worry about this.
    The problem is caused by an update by which Vista Security Center does not recognize the shield. If the alert message gets on my nerves
    You can turn it off. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but I think it's somewhere in the Windows Security window, where it says "change how Security Center alerts me". Your computer is always protected.

    I was contacted by Logmein to inform me that my windows security has expired and my computer is threatened by pirates. They want £133 for a subscription of 12 months to renew. Is it necessary or legitimate?

    If we call you, without contact you them first, then, it is a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

    (It is unnecessary and illegal, if you ask them to contact you.)
