Y at - it no safety advantage important to using a ROUTER as a supplement to my AV & Firewall (software)?

Good evening everyone,

My current system specs:

WIN XP Pro SP3, AV Avast (free), Outpost Firewall Pro, Pro MBAM, SAS (on request only), (free) Spywareblaster.
Flow Internet via a modem cable.

My question is this: is there a significant improvement to my current installation of safety by installing a router and if so, what benefits would be?

Thanks for your time and any enlightenment!

Although the protection offered in some routers used in addition to the software protection can cause issues troubleshooting ("' is it my computer, my firewall, my router, my antivirus, or? '") as long the router is attached, it can provide a layer of protection that is harder for hackers or viruses to penetrate.  Many viruses can disable firewall or an antivirus software if you leave them in your system, but usually they will not be able to get into the router.

  • Table to import 11g using the BEAK

    Hello

  • Problems with importing photos using Windows - Photo files are corrupted in the Gallery windows

    I use Windows to import images from my camera (Canon Rebel EOS) to the computer (HP) and display them in the Windows Photo Gallery.  Recently, the photos in the Gallery become corrupt once downloaded, which means they download fine then when I open "Images" to see in the Gallery, they photos each are corrupted with ribbons of various colors, or the image is cut into strips to compensate.  It didn't happen when I uploaded the same photo files to another computer so I know that is not the fault of the camera or individual files.  I scanned for a virus (I use AVAST).  Can I fix this, or is there any other software I should use to download files?  I'm just a MOM ol ' ordinary looking to transfer the zillions of photos that I take my children.  Help!

  • BlackBerry BB passport do not import emails using the Devicde of Bold 9900 switch

    I tried using the switch of the device several times to transfer all the data from BB9900 for the new Passport SE

    I created all the e-mail accounts & passwords on the Passport exactly the same as on BB9900

    I upgraded to the latest version of the software on Passport SE

    I followed the instructions for the control unit switch, it makes his work and said everything is done.

    All I get on the passport of BB is like my contacts, notes, texts, calendar etc.

    What I don't understand is all my emails stored on BB9900

    I tried to go back and manually restore from the backup file created during the switch of the device, when I click on restore to custom, there is no option to import e-mails here at all.

    One thing that is strange, in the hub when I click on it to "mark prior reading", he tells me to 1200 + emails will be marked as read so it seems that the old emails are there (I have almost as many new emails on the Passport), but they are not displayed.

    Bottom line, how to import the EMAILS ONLY from a device BB7 to Passport?

    original title: impossible to import the videos using Photo Gallery

    Whenever I try to import a video with Photo Gallery, I get the message,

    "Importing video.

    The video device is currently in use.  Close any other program that is using the device and try again.  If you need to start import video, turn off your import device and then turn on again. »

    No other program does use the video device I can say.  I tried to restart my computer, but also a gallery of photos of uninstalling and reinstalling, but I can't seem to do anything other than give me this message.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit.  I'm downloading an older video camera, using a firewire cable.

    Anyone have any ideas?  Thank you!

    Personally I remove sd card from the device and try this way.

    Then click on the Start button and the computer.

    Insert the sd card a sd card reader slot is available, if you need to buy one,

    You can access the SDCard like any hard drive, it is the list, and then select open, do a right click

    Manually, copy and paste the files into a new folder.

    If it's an older device, you can try the factory site and search for win 7 drivers for the camera first.

  • Import Export using SQL Developer

    People

    I have 6 tables whose data must be exported from a database and imported into the other. The structure of the table constraints etc. is the same across both of the DB.

    Database is 11g. Average amount of data in tables 5 is 2.5million contain lines and 1 340million.

    Could you please suggest the best possible way to the export and import of data using SQL Developer. Developer SQL version 3.2.20.09

    There is an option in the 'View' tab in Developer SQL by using 'DBA' but do not have s/n of these patterns. I am well aware expdp and impdp operations but it is managed by another team that can cause delays both want to do it myself.

    Can we do expdp and impdp on SQL Developer without access s/n?

    All of the suggestions.

  • A full import by using datapump will overwrite the target database data dictionary?

    Hello

    I have a 11G with 127 GB database. I did a full export using expdp as a user of the system. I'll import the created dump file (which is 33 GB) on the basis of data from 12 c target.

    When I do the full import on the 12 c database data dictionary is updated with new data. But as is it already contained data dictionary? It will also change?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    In addition to the responses of the other comrades

    To start, you need to know some basic things:

    The dictionary database tables are owned by SYS and must of these tables is created when the database is created.

    Thus, in the different versions of database Oracle there could be less or more data dictionary tables of different structure database,.

    so if this SYSTEM base tables are exported and imported between different versions of oracle, could damage the features of database

    because the tables do not correspond with the version of database.

    See the Ref:

    SYS, owner of the data dictionary

    Database Oracle SYS user is owner of all the base tables and a view of the data available to the user dictionary. No Oracle database user should never change (UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT) ranks or schema objects contained in the SYS schema, because this activity can compromise the integrity of the data. Security administrator must keep strict control of this central account.

    Source: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/datadict.htm

    Prosecutor, the utilities for export cannot export the dictionary SYS base tables and is marked

    as a note in the documentation:

    Data Pump export Modes

    Note:

    Several patterns of system cannot be exported because they are not user patterns; they contain metadata and data managed by Oracle. Examples of system schemas that are not exported MDSYS SYS and ORDSYS.

    Source: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/dp_export.htm#SUTIL826

    That's why import cannot modify/alter/drop/create dictionary database tables. If you can not export, so you can not import.

    Import just to add new Non - SYS objects/data in the database, therefore new data are added to the dictionary base tables (as new users, new tables, code pl/sql etc).

    I hope that this might answer your question.

    Kind regards
