Verification of authenticity

How can I check if the updates listed are authentic and not malicious software posing as windows updates?

I recently installed updates that ends up being the virus, but were marked with codes KB that seem to be ok, when I looked in the knowledge base.

For security and other fixes published for a given month:
http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/Ms##-* *.mspx
Replace # with two-digit year
Replace * with the three-character month abbreviation

There are reported for that month, you will see the list of 'critical' patches 'important' for this month
Check the 2nd Tuesday of each month - later in the day.

For just the list:
http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx

Recognize and avoid fraudulent e-mail to Microsoft customers
http://www.Microsoft.com/protect/yourself/phishing/msemail.mspx

This should be enough information for you to check.

BTW How do you get your updates?

  • Authentication to the multi level in OAM - use authentication Plugin

    Hi all

    Please post your useful suggestion to reach the following requirement:

    The requirement must authenticate with username, password-I & II - password. To do this, so I need to customize the authentication form.
    I use OAM 10.1.4.3 wherein there is no auth plugin code example in the folder of the example mentioned in the developer's guide!

    So I try with the sample files available with OAM old version 10.1.4.1. There is a single file (makefile) DSP based window and I am working on Linux. Could someone help me to convert this file to a Linux compatible file?

    There is no clear instructions on customizing the authentication in the Dev guide scheme, so it will be great if someone could help me with this.

    See you soon,.

  • iCloud Mess

    HI -.

    I could not see the content of my player iCloud on my iPad, so I pulled out and tried to sign in.  I've entered my apple ID and password, but after saying "check" for some time, it me invited to enter a password of 6 characters, but refused BOTH the verification code, he sent me earlier and my password.  So I can not re-login to iCloud for my iPad.

    To connect HERE on this forum, I had to have the system send me a NEW code verification and authentication.  SO I thought maybe we could work on the iPad, but it doesn't.  And there is no place on the iPad password prompt to send a new code.

    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or not done?

    Thank you.

    Hi all

    Below the discussion with me and the microsoft support on the problem to my laptop.
    What can I do next? Thank you very much.

    Hi Jon,

    Thank you for your response and delayed apology.
    After that I will review the outcome of the System File Checker, it shows that there are corrupted files in impossible to remedy Windows and Windows system files. So the next step is no choice for the repair of Windows and if you have a computer of OEM manufacturer I'm afraid that you do not have to have.

    You should ask the manufacturer of your computer to this Windows repair. If they're going to ask you to make a Windows Recovery please backup all your important files, as he'll recover your computer originally manufacture settings.
    Thank you for your cooperation.
    Your patience is much appreciated.

    And I can see that you can not run the System File Checker and verify the disc because that do not have enough privilege to perform these actions. Now you can try to run the System File Checker and Windows safe mode disc, check

    1. turn off your computer.
    2 turn on the computer and when the POST (Power On Self Test) is completed, press the F8 key until you see Windows advance Options menu.
    3. select Safe Mode, and then press enter two times.
    4. connect to your administrator account.
    5. run the System File Checker, and check the disc.

    May I know the results updating form new account?

    Please let me know the results

    First I put t understand why post you the history of all email in this forum.
    I put t think that s useful for everyone here

    However, it seems that the guys at Microsoft couldn't t help and that's why it seems that your Windows operating system is really confused until

    If your OS is confused upward then ONLY reinstall new would be really useful and recommended.

    So take your recovery disk and the operating system to restore to the factory settings.
    Then try to update the operating system.

  • How to show busy indicator on the screen?

    Hi all

    We have a little blackberry app. In one of our screen when the user makes a connection, an e-mail is sent to the server for authentication of the connection. It takes some time before a response comes back to the device.

    During this period when the server verifies the authentication, we show a screen with status busy as a progression or some animated symbol bar so that the user gets an impression that something is happening in the background.

    Could someone let me know how we can do this?

    An example of code will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • E-mail account of decoupling of lost phone blackBerry Smartphones

    Hi everyone, I need your help. I recently lost my blackberry and I had connected my hotmail account to the phone. Is there a way I can disassociate it now? I myself have retired to the fact that theres nothing I can do on the card memory and messages, etc., but is it possible to link the hotmail account so that he who has the phone has no access to my e-mail account? Please help because it can become a serious security problem for me. The only thing I could think is changing the password for the hotmail account so the phone would not allow the verification of authentication. I don't know if it would work. Worst case I have to disable my hotmail account and I really want to do. All advice would be a great help.

    Very much appreciated.

    -Shiv Kodnani. (Mumbai, India)

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Change your Hotmail password will work... DO IT NOW! Then worry about the rest.

    You can connect to your Web of BIS carrier site and remove the e-mail account configuration. Or you can call your operator and ask them to do-, you must call them anyway to report the loss.

    On your next BB, consider using a device lock password... that would protect your data against the one who picks up your BB where you lost.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot connect in application translated when other than the main language is selected

    Hello

    I am facing a problem due to a translated application.

    Whenever I'm trying to connect to the translated application (which means that I enabled the language of the application to another language in the primary) I will not be connected. It ist, no error message is displayed. Apex just redirects to the login page.

    I'm currently debugging the connection process, but unfortunately I did not help. Maybe someone is able to tell me what means this debug. Although the research he gave some results, none of them were useful in some way.

    Language main applicationGerman (Germany) (de)
    Application derived from languageSession

    It is translated into Polish (pl). There is a running application process "on the new instance", the setting of the APEX_UTIL. SET_SESSION_LANG('de') for testing purposes (later it will be dependent on the language of the browser).

  • Why application.cfm file not be treated first?

    I use ColdFusion 11 under 2008 R2. I understand, if there's an application.cfm page in the root folder, that any .cfm page below the root will treat this page first and then process the regular .cfm page. I noticed that he treats my regular page FIRST and then calls the application.cfm page.

    In my case, I have a web page that updates a database, but in my application.cfm page, I check to see if the user is stored in a session variable. If they are not connected, I have them les rediriger redirect in a journal page, let them log, set the variable to session and then redirecting them to the process page. But I noticed that when I run the page, the database is updated and the user gets redirected to connect, then the database is updated again.

    I do not use the application.cfm page correctly? I thought it was supposed to be used to check the record the ins and things like that. How can I make sure that it runs first?

    BTW, this is the only page application.cfm in the whole of the web site and I have not any application.cfc files.

    Thank you.

    It would make things easier to see the code. In any case, from what you say, my guess is that there is no verification of authentication to the point where the database is updated. So the update occurs at the beginning, and again when later you redirect the user to the page.

    On Coldfusion 11, you must actually pass in Application.cfc. There are at least 2 reasons.

    First, recent versions of Coldfusion implicitly assume that you use default Application.cfc. Secondly, Application.cfm is obsolete and has much less features than Application.cfc. For example, Application.cfc allows you much more precise control of your code at the level of the application, session, and application.
