  I am using Windows XP Pro SP3. IE8 or FF8 can open all the links that appear in my subscription newsletters. The message I get is:

  Because this happens with both browsers, I suspect that some settings in Windows is the origin of the problem - maybe an update. Everyone knows about this type of behavior? Someone at - it suggestions for me?

• Can I use Windows Firewall or ZoneAlarm?

  Original title: Firewall Question

  I currently have AVG Antivirus and Spybot Search & Destroy running with the Windows Firewall. I am considering using ZoneAlarm Firewall. I used it in the past and it has seriously affected the performance of the computer, but the computer that I have now is three hundred times as powerful. Still, I believe it can be confusing for my children and wife to use. Should I bother install, or is Windows Firewall very well? I have Windows 7 Home Premium.

  Hello

  Alternatives usually leave a lot to be desired.

  Low-cost 3rd part firewall software are quite a lot of problems delayed. They all have
  compatibility, issues and offer only a few improved controls. In fact their problems often actually lower
  the overall security instead of laying. The Windows Firewall has no problem of compatibility and is
  extremely safe, if you know enough to work around most of the hype. Cost of firewalls software quality
  thousands. Most routers have hardware firewalls built in and those are much better additions
  for the money than any firewall at low prices and low-cost software.

  ==================================================================

  AVG was cause or worsen many problems lately. Unfortunately, he seems to have
  joined the ranks of the too inflated with compatibility issues.

  If you want to uninstall AVG and then he and run the AVG removal tool to avoid problems of
  causing scraps left. The following recommendations to use in place.

  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  ==========================================================

  SpyBot causes problems with IE7 and IE 8. TeaTimer in its configuration and put the SBSD Service
  STOP and MANUAL - you can use SpyBot as a scanner at the request.

  Start - type in the search box-> find Services, at the top of the list, click straight on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  The value of MANUAL and STOPPED

  Clear the check box in the SpyBot TeaTimer - settings.

  Reboot and it won't load and can be run on demand.

  I hope this helps.

  Thunderbird is compatible with Windows 10. Defender problems are exactly that. Something that Microsoft needs to fix.

  Regarding a malicious attachments go. What of them?

  Before they can do any harm, they must be transformed into a binary file in the text, they are converted to attach them to the message and then be written in the Temp folder so they can be passed to the operating system with an application for opening of their. An antivirus program that cannot detect the payload of a newly written file and keep it opens is not worth the CPU cycles which is uses for to fail in its primary function. Defender claims to do this. If it isn't, still an issue for Microsoft. Now Thunderbird...

  installation of El Capitan in a mac by usb, but only using windows to create the USB

  I'm having a problem to install el capitan on a mac book pro 2009 has changed (dead) to an ssd HARD drive

  I can't find that any information how to do this from a windows machine (now only available) of the old system had the lion as I was told and when trying to install lion line or wireless it says it isn't available now so the machine is stuck without an operating system.

  If you are anywhere near an Apple Store, I would suggest bringing your MBP to and asking to help. For USB, you need to partition and format to allow to boot on a Mac, what Windows can not do. Then either create a bootable installer or install OS X on USB and then copy the installer it, boot from it and run the installer with the SSD as a target.

• I get a message HTTP/1.1 401 unauthorized when I try to use a file sharing program. I use windows 7 Professional and firefox ver 40.0.2.

  I use a file to http://www.psms-cpa.com/exchange.html Exchange program
  It should bring up a box of connection credentials, but I get HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
  I use windows 7 Professional, Firefox ver 40.0.2
  It works fine on other computers using FIrefox ver 40.0.2 and it worked fine for the past 2 weeks ago.

  This page is actually a framework around another site (https://client.psms-cpa.com/). You can load pages framed in a new tab by right clicking on the error page, expanding the submenu 'this framework', then Open Frame in a new tab.

  40 Firefox no longer displays the login prompt of authorization basis for a framed page that is hosted on a different server. This is to protect you from accidentally giving your credentials for the external page for an attacker.

  One solution is to use the page framed directly, but if you prefer to disable this new protection, there is an option to do so. Of course, please be wary of this guest appearing on other sites.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste auth and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference of network.auth.allow - subresource-auth and edit the 1 to 2, and then click OK

  • 1 shows the dialog box logon only for pages framed, images, etc., hosted on the same site
  • 2 allows the connection to pages dialog box framed, images, etc., hosted on any site

  This should take effect the next time you reload the external page (your home address).

• When will they be available for tablets using Windows RT8.1 Mozilla?

I only use Mozilla on all my other computer systems at home and work, but cannot use it on my Dell Surface TabletPC.

• I use Windows 7 with a Firefox browser. new flash player update Adobe... now, it blocks my computer!

  I use Windows 7 and firefox browser. I was invited to update flash player to the new verion 17. (blah blah). 169. I downloaded the update. installed without a problem but come to find out now, everytime I try to go youtube my videos play but they are extremely glitch, pixelated, then after a bit, my computer crashes everything.

  I tried all the suggested site patches i.e. uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer. Reinstalled a previous version. Reset firefox to delete modules or extensions that I did. Nothing worked!

  It is a standard orientation which addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

  (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders who interact with Flash media to ensure that they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.

  (2) turn off hardware acceleration in Firefox and Flash

  (A) in Firefox, uncheck the box here:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > General > "use hardware acceleration when available.

  Which takes effect the next time you exit and restart Firefox.

  (B) in Flash, right-click in the press and choose settings, then the first mini tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

  (3) turn off mode protected (Windows Vista and later)

  The functionality of the safe_mode of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but there seem to be some compatibility issues on some systems. There is a new parameter hidden for this:

  (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste the flash and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (C) double-click the preference dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable - protected mode to change its value from false to true.

  It cannot take effect until all the Flash was discharged for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

  Any improvement?

• How to take a screenshot using Windows 7 screen

  I'm using Windows 7 Home Edition. I want to take a screenshot of the homepage of MSN in 31ish Firefox and Internet Explore 11ish to show the difference that I see. MSN.com Firefox display is so bad on my PC that I had to go home pages at http://www.twcc.com/ . I prefer to use MSN.com as I always until they came out with their "New and improved" MSN.com.

  So, if someone can tell me how to take a screenshot using Firefox 31ish MSN.com Web page, I would appreciate the help. Then I'll go to forums on how to do the same thing with the Internet Explorer browser. Then, I'll post the two shots in the Mozilla's Support forums to see if I can find how do Firefox works better for me. Thank you.

  The current versions of Firefox have a built-in feature to take a screenshot as the one of the commands on the toolbar Developer (SHIFT + F2; Firefox 3-bar menu button > developer or tools > Web Developer).

  • https://developer.Mozilla.org/Tools/GCLI

  You can use it if you need only a screenshot sometimes because you must use a command line and can't click a button or use the context menu.

  • A quick way to save a screenshot is to press the 's', and then press the tab key to accept the suggestion of AutoComplete screenshot.
  • You can press the F1 key for context-sensitive help with suggestions where you can select an entry with cursor key and press Tab to copy the entry in the command line
  • You can type a space and two hyphens (-) to see the list of command options and use the Tab key to copy the selected highlighted (for example, fullpage or Clipboard) in the command line entry.

  Note that some commands have their own options and you can type two hyphens at once to see additional options.
