should my macbook norton or mcafee or something similar?

I just got a refurbished 12-inch macbook (early 2015). should I install norton or mcafee or something similar? need computers laptops/computer apple these installed?

Absolutely not. Norton is known to cause problems, and you do not need any antivirus or programs of 'clearing '. There is no virus in the Mac affecting wild, and these programs may not help you if you accidentally download malware. "Cleaning" programs in particular can damage and can be very difficult to uninstall.

Your Mac is well equipped with its own measures of security under the hood: let him take care of yourself and never install anything, call telephone lines or answer somehow pop-ups or messages, text or e-mail that claims to have found a virus or any other problem or telling you your ID Apple has been locked and needs to be "verified" - without exception all these are scams.

    Original title: No place to enter the password administrator Windows 8

    What I have to buy extra (Norton or McAfee) anti-virus or is the antivirus in Windows Security Center strong enough? I have McAfee on my computer, but my subscription has expired. I wonder if it is necessary to update? or if the antivirus and security installed in the Windows Security Center is all I really need. and everything is a little more kill?

    Hi RevStevieB,

    Windows Security Center helps improve your computer's security by checking the status of several security essentials on your computer, including firewall settings, Windows automatic updating, anti-malware software settings.

    If Windows detects a problem with any of these security essentials (for example, if your antivirus program has expired), Center security displays a notification and places a Security Center icon in the notification area.

    I recommend you to download & install the antivirus or security software up-to-date so that it works correctly.

    You can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.

  • Is there something similar to the onLoad event?


    Hi people,


    I'm building a complex tool of catalyst for the purposes of usability tests.


    Is it possible to call an interaction when loading a page/state? Something similar to the onLoad event.

    I find very frustrating catalyst for now because I can't get to respond to mouse events.


    My problem - interacts with a custom component that is nested in a custom component.


    Top-level of my application, I can use mouse events to interact with other pages/States.

    Catalyst also allows me to interact with the pages/States in my custom component.

    However, since the higher level, catalyst I cannot interact with the pages/States in a custom component nested.


    If there is an onload event for which I could call when a page/State was loaded within my custom component.

    I could use it to raise an event and interact within my custom component nested.


    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Thanking you,

    Bill

    Bill, I came across the same issue. Catalyst is really a tool for the creation of a GUI for Flex applications. Even if you can get some simple apps working inability of target States in nested components limits what you can do. The goal of version 1 was not what you want to do with it.

    You really should import the project into flash builder to add advanced like this code. There you can flesh out your components and add event listening / shipping for things like onLoad etc...

  • Do you have a dv9700? or something similar to this family? concerns...

    Hello

    I have some concerns on my new laptop.  I bought this laptop about 4 months in August.  Recently, it seems to be the warm-up everwhere.  Before she would get under hot but now the fan runs continuously until I can still hear it.  The fan seems like he runs fast too.  The part that my palms are based on while I type (on either side of the touchpad) is very hot.

    You feel it as well?

    Laptops tend to be overwarm, just by the form factor, not necessarily a flaw any.  If you use the laptop on your lap, please consider making a good cooling pad (one with space underneath her and fans so that the bottom vents are fluid and not obstructed by something; dishes are not terribly effective) or use it on a cold table or something similar.

  • Something similar to groups of objects, but for the ports? (must be used on an ACL)

    Hello community!

    I'm fairly new, when it comes to firewalls, but I have some experience with routers and switches, so I'm not completely lost.

    Practically, we all know that a group object is a large bucket to throw things and then managing them as a single group, which is very useful for many reasons... so is there something similar that we can use in an ACL for the port?

    Say so, let that I want to allow the following ports:

    • 80
    • 443
    • 25
    • 30500
    • 20500
    • 8080
    • 14600
    • 21
    • 753
    • 22

    And instead of doing something like this:

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 80

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 443

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 25

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 30500

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 20500

    access-list extended dmz_access_in permit tcp host WEB host WEB-EXT eq 8080

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 14600

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 21

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 753

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host EXT - WEB eq 22

    do something like:

    dmz_access_in list extended access permit tcp host WEB host WEB-EXT eq PORT_LIST1

    Thank you!!

    PD: Excuse me if some port above are not TCP, if just one example. I just start typing all the numbers that came to my head.

    Hey Rolando,

    On a SAA, you can combine services and protocols based on the source/destination in an object-group service oriented. Your example would look like this:

     object-group service PORT_LIST1 service-object tcp destination range 21 22 service-object tcp destination eq 25 service-object tcp destination eq 80 service-object tcp destination eq 443 service-object tcp destination eq 753 service-object tcp destination eq 8080 service-object tcp-udp destination eq 14600 service-object tcp destination eq 20500 service-object tcp destination eq 30500

    You can create also integrate groups:

     object-group service WEB_PORTS service-object tcp destination eq 80 service-object tcp destination eq 443 object-group service PORT_LIST1 group-object WEB_PORTS service-object ...

    This type of group is going where the Protocol is specified in the ACL:

     access-list dmz_access_in extended permit object-group PORT_LIST1 object HOST object EXT-WEB

  • Creating a topic > menu of the sub-heading based on something similar to this...

    Hello

    I tried to get this type of service works for several days now, nothing helps. I have my parsed xml document in and I created successfully the required dynamically film clips. The issue I'm having is to get properly aligned film clips.

    The resulting structure might look like this:

    Topic1
    |
    | - subtopic1
    |
    | - subtopic2
    |
    | - subtopic3
    |

    Topic2
    |
    | - subtopic1
    |
    | - subtopic2
    |
    | - subtopic3
    |
    | - subtopic4

    which will be created based on something similar to this function:

    function createXMLMenu(menuLength:Number):void {}
    Create dynamic menu based on
    menuLength parameter that is passed in
    know - menuLength = 2
    for (var i: Number = 0; i < menuLength; i ++) {}
    var mcMenuItem:mcMenu = new mcMenu();
    Set the position of the menu item
    mcMenuItem.x = mcMenuHolder.x;
    Here are the 1st annoying lines
    mcMenuItem.y = int (?);
    Add the menu item to the scene and Flash.DisplayList
    addChild (mcMenuItem);
    Create the submenu
    var xmlSubMenuLength:Number = 4;
    If (xmlSubMenuLength! = 0) {}
    for (var j: Number = 0; j < xmlSubMenuLength; j ++) {}
    var mcSubMenuItem:mcMenu = new mcMenu();
    var mc2Attach2:MovieClip = MovieClip (mcMenuItem);
    Add the menu item to the scene and Flash.DisplayList
    mc2Attach2.addChild (mcSubMenuItem);
    mcSubMenuItem.x = mcMenuHolder.x + 20;
    Here's the 2nd annoying line
    mcSubMenuItem.y = int (?);
    }
    }
    }
    }

    By red lines, what is the right way to create the coords y for the chapter film clips?

    I hope this makes sense. If it is not sensible, feel free to let me know and I'll try to structure my question differently.

    Thanks much for any help.

  • Should what macbook I buy?

    I think to buy a macbook pro (currently on windows), but the problem is that I don't know which.

    I need for the University (programs such as visual studio, microsoft word/powerpoint/excel... and others) and daily use (web, watching videos, listening to music...).

    First of all, I have a few questions about the mac in general:

    1 - in my University computers are running windows 8/10, so it would cause me problems when you transfer files from my mac to windows, and vice versa?

    2 - the files that run on windows would stop work on mac, and vice versa?

    3-can I use the same USB for mac and windows or it is formatted with an operating system at the same time?

    4 - install windows on my mac make it slower, or trolling?

    Now, on the mac:

    I hesitate between the 13 "and 15" macbook pro

    For the use that I mentioned earlier, that one is the most suitable for me?

    If the 13 ", should which model I buy? Same question for the 15 ".

    4-do I need a dedicated graphics card (model the more expensive 15 ")?

    5-do I need more than 8 GB of RAM?

    6. specifically, what exactly are the specifications I need (RAM and especially the i5/i7 processor and GHz)?

    And my last question is: should I wait for the new macbook pro being released (rumor one with a bar of OLED) so that the current model gets cheaper?

    Bonus question: honestly, do I really need a MacBook or any windows computer would be great for me?

    If you could answer my questions, I would really appreciate it, it would be much clearer for me

    1 in my University computers are running windows 8/10, so it would cause me problems when you transfer files from my mac to windows, and vice versa?

    File transfer should cause no problems for most of the cases (USB, more on this later, transfer by Internet, Dropbox, mail) implementation on the network to share files takes a little effort, however, is possible.

    2 - files that run on windows will stop working on mac, and vice versa? (I need to perform an operation before the file transfer?)

    Not really. For example, if you get MS Office on mac, it will work when you send it to a windows machine and vice versa, but if you are using Apple pages, microsoft cannot read .pages files while mac may lire.doc/.docx and if you convert .pages in .doc/.docx, sometimes the elements on the page will be move due on mac features that are not on windows or vice versa. As well as the fonts are different.

    3-can I use the same USB for mac and windows or it is formatted with an operating system at the same time?

    You can format for both, but with limitations, for example, if you want to use Apple's Time Machine (I recommend that you do), the player must be in a specific format, which is be the one who does not read windows.

    4-installed windows on my mac makeup it's slower, or lag?

    Not really, unless you are low on storage. I strongly suggest to do a mac with storage capacity more if you want to run two operating systems strongly. In addition, if you do not use bootcamp to Apple to achieve this goal, and use third-party virtual machines parts then Yes, it will (then), because you're running two OS at the same time, but not as long as Windows is not active.

    Now, on the mac:

    I hesitate between the 13 "and 15" macbook pro

    For the use that I mentioned earlier, that one is the most suitable for me?

    The main thing that differentiates the two are just the size of the screen, unless you want a graphics card dedicated, more on that later. Don't forget, the laptop should ideally keep in your handbag etc and go into an Apple store to see if you are more comfortable wear around the 13' or 15'. The weight is also a factor to consider.

    If the 13 ", should which model I buy? Same question for the 15 "

    It is up to you, and what is the weight of your work will be. In fact, if you are only going to make presentations, word and excel. Even a MacBook Air would suffice.

    4-do I need a dedicated graphics card (model the more expensive 15 ")?

    Will you do anything intensive graphics? CGI, rendering, CAD/CAM, etc. The graphics card is mainly for that... and the games.

    5-do I need more than 8 GB of RAM?

    Once more, depends on how much weighs your workload, your specifications are quite vague and appear to be light, so 8 GB should be enough.

    6. specifically, what exactly are the specifications I need (especially the i5/i7 processor and GHz)? (if you answer question 6 do not 4-5)

    In addition, depends on how strongly you plan to use the device.

    And my last question is: should I wait for the new macbook pro being released (rumor one with a bar of OLED) so that the current model gets cheaper?

    We are not allowed to speculate on future devices on this Web page because it is in violation of the terms of use.

    Bonus question: honestly, do I really need a MacBook or any windows computer would be great for me?

    If you could answer my questions, I would really appreciate it, it would be much clearer for me.

    In general, Apple provides a better tied together interface, this is useful if you already have several Apple devices as they will be able to interact more effectively with others. The requirements that you said are very simple, and in fact, any device would suffice. However, if you get a MacBook, you can have peace of mind knowing that you might be less susceptible to virus attacks and other similar issues. You never 'need' anything in particular, it is always what you want. And it's up to you.

    I hope this helps.
