What antivirus and malware is most suitable for XP?

OK, I was able to get both of my computers to the top and working again. I always try to understand, what combination of anti-Virus and Malware is most suitable for XP. I have the family and professional edition. Service Pack 2. Thank you

"

Regardless of which version of Windows you are running, for a
antivirus, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
run several) of the following three:
 
Avira AntiVir
Avast
Microsoft Security Essentials
 
You have also the anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
(both freeware) to install MalwareBytes AntiMalware and
SuperAntiSpyware.

Microsoft security essentials is antivirus and antispyware product. no need for a separate anti-spyware software.

Microsoft security essentials is the best option.

  • What type of certificates are not suitable for the signature of the extensions to HTML5?

    It is not clear to me, of the literature exactly what types of certificate are not suitable for the signature of the CC2014 HTML5 extensions.

    I used a Thawte 'Adobe Air' certificate for signing extensions based on Flash. It is now expired. Can I buy the same type and that will work cross-platform for the signature of the extensions to HTML5?

    See http://www.thawte.com/code-signing/content-signing-certificates/adobe-air/index.html

    Thank you

    Hi meeky2,

    Required certificates have not changed for HTML5 extensions, so the same type of certificate that you had before work ('Adobe Air' certificates are very good).

    Note that if you only distribute your HTML5 extension through modules Adobe / Adobe Exchange, then there is no need to use a paid certificate. If you distribute your extension elsewhere, then you should do the same thing as you did with the extensions of the AIR.

    Best regards

    In my opinion, if the Windows Firewall is enabled (installed as part of XP, Vista and 7) and that you have installed Microsoft Essensials Essentials (downloadable for free), security is adequate for most users for most cases. We could consider using Malwarebyte s anti-malware ot the equivalent for additional scans from time to time. (Malwarebyte s has a free version for private individuals). For those who have a high risk, Microsoft, Kaperski and others have some free tools that can be downloaded and which, when it is burned on a CD or DVD are executed from bootable MNR and check otherwise difficult to detect threats.

  • When I try to connect to my router wirelessly from my laptop and the room, he asks for my network key and I don't know what it is.

    my brother used to all our computer equipment set up and he died last year. Well when I moved and tried to get into my new place it will not allow me without a network/wpa key. I know that I am trying to connect to my router and not my neighbors because when I unplug it it's the only name that disappears from the list of wireless networks. How can I know what is the network key or even set up a new? I am a bit technologically with faculties weakened to get detailed instructions on how to help me would be appreciated, but any help would be great.

    I'm sorry for your loss. Since we do not know how your brother to set up the router, it would be better to start again just to make sure that your wireless network is secure. Reset the default router. This is usually done with the wired router (on) by pressing a small button on the back or the bottom of the router, now the button for about 30 seconds and then let go. You can find the manual on the router mftr's Web site. your router if you need it.

    Once you have reset the router to default, set up correctly:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Even if CS4 is suitable for you.  CS4 is no longer marketed, so unless you can find a retailer with an older version full unsold CS4 or some who want to give up using Photoshop and sell their license and transfer it by Adobe for you, your out of luck with CS4.  Download a trial of CS6 if you want to be able to buy Photoshop perpetual version or a trial of Photoshop CC 2014.  Make sure what you're looking for CS4 ther is many scams on the web... If you find an agreement with a very good price, beware.

    Of these errors, it seems that I am not covered even with the settings appropriate, reported here as well in the preferences:

    How can I fix this?  (I'll try to start in safe mode, and then restart as some have suggested).

    More important still, once repaired, how to test the browser in the future so that it is protected?

    Is there some test sites for phishing and malware that can be trusted?

    I have entered into a malicious Web site?
