Sparkle Framework

Hello

I am currently using a retina 15 MacBook Pro running OSX El Capitan thumbs. To increase the security on my computer about a year ago, I installed AVG AntiVirus which I sometimes run to check for some security issues. Recently, the antivirus has begun to warn me for some potential threats that seem to be connected with most of my apps (VLC, utorrent, appzapper, etc...). I uninstalled apps, and every time I try to reinstall AVG appears a window with a warning. All of these problems seem to be connected with "Sparkle Framework. Can someone please explain to me what is happening and if it's a real threat or just a malfunction of the antivirus? Thank you!

PS: I do not know what triggered it, just started to happen somehow

You don't need to have installed antivirus software, but I guess everything that floats your boat,

Yes, there is a problem with Sparkle Framework (whatever it is) but VLC has been updated to deal with this problem. I can't speak for other applications,

  • Unwanted network connections.

    To start, I hope that this post will be in communities to Support Apple > Mac OS & software system > El Capitan...

    I am currently using a 13 "Macbook Pro late 2014 RETINA display SSD hard drive with a processor intel i5. However I used the Mac for 10 years and I love them. I'm starting this discussion for the simple and yet the complex issues involved with the activity of the network. What happened to start your system/mac and you "user" is the person who made all of these external connections to the internet. I use Little Snitch as well as iStats. It seems a bit odd to need an app to watch all of your network connections. I was always under the impression that only Windows (including windows 10) was the operating system that has kept and all data sent to Microsoft. Just for the mac user lay, so that we know what most of these demons are trying to connect to the web. A small example is garguillo. I did some research and looked all game Kit frameworks that support this Protocol, in total, in my view, there are 16. I looked at each and decided, I use none of them so why this daemon needs to connect to the outside world automatically? So I decided I would not allow it to connect to the web. Unfortunately, I recently read that el Capitan has 'Protection system integrity' which prevents the root to modify system files. So in summary what it means? Once again as a lay mac user (I'm not an engineer, programmer or computer) why some items need to run, even if I do not use them? Geo-location is another example, probably better than garguillo. I'm under the assumption after searching for a bit, the com.apple.geod.xpc Protocol is essentially a location service. Well what happens if I don't want my site to document constantly using my mac? Why can't I just turn it off. In my view, that it is mainly used for the cards. I have started this thread with the intent to maybe get an answer with a list of protocols/demons/connections that must be why. It seems that every day I'm Googling to see what one of these Apple services are and why I need to be allowing it to connect to the web. Recently, I had a rogue server ovh.net attached to my netstats, and he only received data from my laptop. I don't know if I got a virus on a website or something, but he me enough to wipe my SSD and do a clean reinstall scared. This process is very difficult for me because I keep all my photos and data are stored on external hard drives, and I just wanted to make sure that the server that connected had disappeared me and he took a bit of code that allowed him to connect disappeared with it. In short, I would be really thankful some answers with Apple services that try to connect on startup, but you don't need. I'm trying to run a system with as little as possible expansion. I don't want to use iCloud but it seems almost impossible because I own an iPhone, Macbook and other products Apple who all want to communicate (although I wish they were all only entities). If I can please help with things that I can get rid of without disrupting the integrity of my UNIX-like OS aka OS X El Capitan, I'd be very happy. I would also like to see some answers to see if someone feels the same way I do.

    Thank you

    In response to this, I would also like to ask about the problem of Sparkle.framework. I downloaded on my VLC mac and would like to know if I need to worry about this.

  • Why not "allow Adobe to install...". "actually work?  [OSX]

    This computer running OSX 10.9.5 and currently has version 18.0.0.194 of the NPAPI plugin installed Flash version.

    The setting labeled "Allow Adobe install updates (recommended)" is selected.

    Rather than maintain the update of the Flash plugin, it seems to do is inform me to download the new version and install it myself.
    This problem occurs on all versions of Mac OS x that I tested.

    What I can't understand, is what is happening within Adobe that you can not do the job of correctly...  I thought about this a bit and I can think of a respectable rational explanation for this.

    If the current version of Flash is such a risk of security (that I know to be true), why would not have chosen to ensure that those who use your products are safer?  Google does for those who use Chrome.

    It is possible that Google's software engineers are simply better, but Adobe could simply use the Sparkle Framework (Sparkle: a framework for update of free software for Mac), which has existed for many years and is used by a large number of free and commercial OSX applications.

    Personally, I am currently working on the problem of fixing on OSX with a shell script and on Windows, I use Chocolatey.  The obvious problem is that it helps the users to which I adhere personally and I (I work in it).

    I thought it was time to ask Adobe...  Is there a logical reason, you are not automatically updated your software, especially when it was one of the most compromised pieces of software on the planet?

    Hi K12ITGuy,

    Corrects the past few releases were major safety and to inform all of our users for changing, this one went as a rejection hard. In a statement hard even if you have opted for the automatic update you will always receive a notification from Adobe to upgrade to a newer version of Flash Player.

    Thank you, we will try to look into your suggestions

  • The context menu 'this framework' is missing

    There are two users in question, the two Firefox running on Windows 7 36.0.1. When right clicking on a frame in a Web site, they have a context menu option 'the framework', echoes cascading on to provide various actions you can take (this frame printed, etc.). The other user doesn't have this option. To the best of my knowledge, the two users are running installs similar: the default collection of plug-ins that are enabled in our enterprise environment, they do not have twisted all topic parameters: config, etc. Why 'This framework' context menu would only not available for one of them? Is there a way to force be activated?

    I found it...

    I re-read your posts tonight and spent some time tinkering with Firefox on my machine at home (36.0.3 on Win8.1). I was watching my mailbox in OWA, which has a shared mailbox added as well. I discovered that the messages in the shared mailbox Inbox had the option of this framework in the context menu, while the Inbox has no messages in my personal mailbox.

    A little back of comparison and I finally noticed: display the list of my Inbox is configured to display Conversations by Date (see screenshot). However, the shared mailbox Inbox had the Conversations view option deselected.

    When the Conversations view option is disabled, OWA displayed each message in the reading pane in a frame. In Conversations mode, it seems to use CSS for the reading instead of this pane.

    Thank you for your help is in the right direction.

  • I can update to earlier than the latest version (currently 8) Firefox? I need because my test framework has problems starting Firefox version 8 and there is no such problems until version 7.

    I've recently updated Firefox 7 to 8 Firefox.
    Until version 7, the test framework that I use, based on selenium, worked normally with the browser. Since I've upgraded to version 8 - the framework cannot open a browser session. If I go back to the previous version in order to run my tests. But the only old version of 8 3.6 - really stable but very, very old.

    So I need to choose to work with any version between 3.6 and 8, excluding the 8 for now.
