What free security programs are best suited to Windows Server 2008R2 running in VirtualBox?

I installed Windows Server 2008R2 comments in VirtualBox with a host of Windows 7. It is my first experience with servers. As part of the installation and configuration, I want to install a lightweight, reliable and user friendly program. Microsoft Security Essentials would be ideal if it is compatible as I am familiar with MSSE, and as its performance. My research to date is back of contradictory information about MSSE: incompatible, use the version for Vista/7, choose from a list.

I'm hoping to get a recommendation based on personal experience rather than a list of programs. I went through a list of compatible security programs, but I'm not familiar with most of the programs listed.

Thanks for your advice...

  • What product Vmware is the best for several Windows Server 2003 and 2008 implementation

    Hi all

    I am just wondering that if I installed VMware on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003 Enterprize edition on VMware I was able to use more Ram installed, our server have 48GB of Ram but Server 2003 Standard allows only 4 GB max to use, to save money, I was wondering just if I can use the way I mentioned above.

    Looking at it, I think you have a misconception about the limitations of VMware, RAM and operating system. Your problem is that you see no more than 4 GB of RAM on your x 86 Server 2003 install? This is a limitation of the operating system - to use more RAM you need an operating system that can deal with the RAM.

    • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 86 edition then you will only be able to use the 4 GB of RAM, Windows Server 2003 Standard x 32 can process.

    • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 64 edition then you will be able to use the 32 GB of RAM that Windows Server 2003 Standard x 64 can process.

    • If you install VMware ESX, you can adjust your full 48GB of RAM and install multiple instances of Win 2003 Svr Standard, each of which can address 4 GB of your memory live available.

  • How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer?

    Original title: completely clueless

    I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance

    Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it.  If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers.  If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.

    With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use.  If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

  • Is it possible to change sequence settings after you start a project? Also, how can I know what sequence of parameters are best for clips that I have?

    Is it possible to change sequence settings after you start a project? Also, how can I know what sequence of parameters are best for clips that I have?
    The clips I have are HD and .mp3. MTS files.

    In the latest version of Premiere Pro, it is possible to change the settings for the sequence.

    You know what settings are best knowing what you are doing.  (Personally I'm fan of formal education for this.)  I know that sounds sarcastic, but, there is no right answer to the question whose parameters are the best.  There are many variables here, then... you really need to know what you're doing.

  • What "unmapped user access" for NFS share in Windows Server 2008 R2?

    In the beginning, I followed this Youtube video to set up an NFS share in Windows Server 2008 R2:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=BQ8Q_vsiksg

    Please note that the default option to allow to access Unix unmapped user is not changed (to about 1 min 57 sec).

    Then I found another article at http://www.vmwarearena.com/2012/07/create-nfs-datastore-for-esx-in-windows.html

    But in this article, I like to select allow anonymous access (instead of allow access Unix unmapped user).

    So who is correct?  Or both are correct (which means that this 'unmapped user access' is not serious)?

    And why should we have to allow root access (in the NFS share permissions dialog box)?  What a security risk?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    This is probably the question most google on Toshiba laptops, but I can't get a clear answer so I thought I'd come to a forum. I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite P870 and startup is very slow, and the overall performance of the computer could be better.
    In the list of stuff pre-installed below, I would like to know if there A) would make a difference in performance/speed and B) that I should really delete the

    Programs:

    Toshiba Assist
    Toshiba Config Free
    Toshiba Disc Creator
    Toshiba Eco utility
    Toshiba face recognition
    Toshiba hardware configuration
    Toshiba hDD protection
    Toshiba HDD/SSd Alert
    Toshiba Media controller
    Plug-Controller Toshiba in Media
    Toshiba PC Monitor health
    Toshiba Advanced shift control
    Toshiba Recovery Media Creator

    I don't have not really met/used one of these yet and want to know which are worth keeping around, and that I can do everything right on remove.

    any advice would be greatly appreciated, but I tried the Decrapifyer program and it really helped a lot.

    Hi and welcome to our community.

    If it is no longer question of google I really hope that we will find the final answer here. ;)
    At first, I must say that each of us has a perhaps different view of this. Some of us want to use a tool of some and some of us don t like some of them is not possible to give a precise answer to your question.
    In any case I'll start with my personal opinion, but first some general information. Toshiba recovery image contains many specific tools Toshiba and public services, as well as some additional software. Toshiba-specific tools and utilities are designed to help the user with full control for laptop and also the laptop owner to get useful information on updates.

    I repeat again, what I write here is my personal opinion and I want to just describe what I do.
    I delete after clean install of OS of the system
    TEMPRO, Toshiba ReelTime, Toshiba Service Station, and other things like links to eBay, or other stuff that is completely useless to me.
    Toshiba listed specific tools are OK, but I put t need them. They start with laptop and sow in commissioning. TEMPRO and Toshiba Service Station are monitoring tools inform you about the new BIOS or driver updates. As I wrote it is very nice, but if the system works perfectly don't change anything.

    I'll go trough your list and write a comment short for each listed programs.
    -Toshiba Assist very useful tool where you can find shortcuts to all the important of Toshiba and utility tools. Leave the shortcut on the desktop
    Toshiba - Free Config - very useful tool for the monitoring of the network but not must be started with the OS. Don t he remove the disabe just in the starting System. You can start it when necessary.
    -Toshiba Disc Creator useful, but not so important. Depends on the owner of the laptop. I put t use it.
    -Toshiba Eco utility useful but for me personally not so advantageous. I removed it from the system. When I want to save energy, I just use the power of Eve plan Windows.
    -Toshiba Face Recognition - nice tool to play but I don t use. It is removed from my system.
    -Hardware configuration, one of the most important tools of Toshiba Toshiba. Check it out and don t he remove it from the system.

  • Can what internet security program I use Mac OS 10.6.8?

    I can't upgrade my OS 10.6.8 because I use Creative Suite 2 for my (small) freelance graphics business; If I update I lose all my programs! I had Norton Internet Security (by Comcast) during many years for 2 PCs and my iMac, but received notices that they are abandoning support for my Mac OS. Any ideas? An older version of antivirus protection will be able to protect the Mac (s) on our home wireless network? [I have a Titanium PowerBook most basically used only by my husband to watch his fantasy football league!] Help, please!

    First of all, you must completely remove Norton product you have because it has never protected anything whatsoever and has just been slowing down your Mac all those years.  Therefore, you will never miss it.

    Second, if you use a modern version of Mac OS, you wouldn't need any security software because Mac never received subsequently and still haven't.  Installation of security software 3rd party on a Mac is the potential to make your Mac less secure than it was without him.

    Finally, OS 10.6.8 is not supported since early 2014.  So, even if it's a Mac, it may simply not yet use this computer on the Internet more.  Therefore, it is time to move your business forward and invest in a new Mac and the new Adobe software.  You can now subscribe to the new Adobe products for a lot less you would have already paid to buy them in the past.

  • How can I recover Favorites and passwords after a change of operating system and older programs are listed in a windows.old folder?

    Recently, I had a fatal crash of my Windows XP Pro system. I clean installed Vista (would not allow an upgrade installation), and it offers all my settings and programs in a windows.old folder. I wish I could recover my passwords stored (even if I have to go manually) and my favorites for Firefox. I was running version 4 at the time of the accident of the o/s. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Just as I expected. Before you follow my instructions, you may need to change your folder options to show hidden files. Now go to:

    C:/Windows.old/documents and Settings / < user on XP name > / Application Data

    And copy the text to the Mozilla folder for

    C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla

    If the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it.

    Now in C:/windows.old/Documents and Settings / < user name on XP > / Local Settings/Application Data

    And copy the text within the Mozilla folder in

    C:/Users / < username on Vista > / AppData/Local/Mozilla

    Yet once, if the Mozilla folder does not exist, create it and rename it to Mozilla.

    I hope this helps!

    What kind of security program are you referring?

    Are you sure it's pop-up blocker?

    If it is blocked by the pop-up, it's under the browser or the website and NOT the Windows application.

    Blocker normal will never block request, and they only block pop-up Web sites.
