Business use of Skype - security issues from a net...

Going through this forum, accounts seemed to be hacked fairly frequently. I read somewhere that Obama had his Skype acct hacked. Being a network administrator at an ad agency with high-profile clients, this could be a serious issue, if important information was leaked to the public before press releases. Seems like this is usually a result of user error, whether its phishing schemes or clicking on random links sent by strangers.
Is there any type of moderating feature that could be used (for network administrators), essentially restricting the contact list to approved contacts?

Hello,
The onus is really on the user to set his/her privacy options as they wish at > Tools > Options > Privacy Settings.
It's not possible for an administrator to prevent an individual user from adding a contact.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Is Version 6 compatible with Norton Security Suite from Comcast?

I have had previous compatibility problems using the Norton Security Suite from Comcast after installing a new version of Firefox. Are there any known issues with Version 6? I'd like to know before I install the new version. I have a PC running XT.

Only if the Comcast "deal" with Norton is directing you to the download or updating you to the newest Norton version. The Norton toolbar that gets installed into Firefox was made compatible with Firefox 6 on the day that Firefox 6 was released.
According to this post on the Comcast forum

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

I am using Quicken 2007 (16.1.4) and had no problems before upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite. When attempting to download security updates from my financial institutions (UBS and Fidelity), I get the following error OL-290. Any fixes?

I am using Quicken 2007 (16.1.4) and had no problems before upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite. When attempting to download security updates from my financial institutions (UBS and Fidelity), I get the following error: Quicken could not connect to the server. Please try again later. [OL-290] I understand this is because of a mismatch between SSL certificates at the financial institutions and Apple's SSL certificate included with OS 10.10 Yosemite. Any fixes to this issue?

I have the same problem but Q for Mac 2015 does not meet my needs. Is there a fix for this problem?

Site name) uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

I am working with Firefox 35.0 I get the security certificate error message of site name) uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer).
This happens on each page that I go to. I can pull the page up with no problem with Explorer. Please Help. I don't have any security software that would be stopping or scanning SSL.

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
Any help would be appreciated

Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

I have a server runnng on Mac OS 9.2.2 with a secure certificate from Verisign. Apparently some Firefox users get a message warning that the issuer is unknown to them. Verisign is perhaps the best-known issuer of certificates

Note: I am in the process of moving the site to our central server so all pages, with the exception of the secure ones and the homepage, are redirected. See https://www.homelink-usa.com/secure/subscribe/subscribe.lasso which is secure and, in my browser Firefox 3.6.13, the location window is blue just like your site that I am typing on. The certificate expires on March 20, 2011.
I do not get the error message on any of my machines or browsers.

This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to *www.homelink-usa.com*,
but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted
identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However,
this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could
mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't
continue.
Technical Details
www.homelink-usa.com uses an invalid security certificate. The
certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
I Understand the Risks
If you understand what's going on, you can tell Firefox to start
trusting this site's identification. *Even if you trust the site, this
error could mean that someone is tampering with your connection.*
Don't add an exception unless you know there's a good reason why this
site doesn't use trusted identification.

Might have a hardware issue that was caused by the minor liquid spill.
Take it to Apple to have them look at it. I think they do a free diagnostics. That way you can find out what's wrong with your MB.
Good luck....Hope you get it sorted out.

Setting the shared templates location by Deploying Office 365 Midsized Business "using a network share" from a on-premise location

I found the question "Deploy Office 365 pro plus using a network share or from a on-premise locaiton" the most useful of the resources
on MS yet - but I am having difficulties getting the files to download for a local deployment.
The root of the issue, that I cannot find anywhere, is how do I set the shared templates location for users in the organization. First I thought a GPO, but I cannot find that setting in the GPO in MS.
Then I thought modifying the REG- but it is in a binary key which could include other information I may not want modified(Or does it matter?)
Then I looked for ways to download the deployment but launching from an elevated prompt as IT (Domain level) returns a useless error to paraphrase- 'sorry MSOffice didn't install- do you have enough disk space'.
I have downloaded the GPO objects, but not installed them, likely I will need those later though.
Just want to path all the users to a central repository of office/excel/access/outlook templates in addition to their local templates. Concise help in steps or sites that have solved the issue are Greatly appreciated : )

Hi,
you can use the GPO ADMX templates to configure the "Workgroup templates path".
This actually configures a registry setting named: "sharedtemplates".
The registry value/type/data is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\common\general
Name: sharedtemplates
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ (Expandable String Value)
Data: <UNC path to folder>
From the GPO reference workbook/sheet, for Office:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4976.selected-content-relating-to-group-policy-administrative-templates-adm-and-admx.aspx
Filename: office15.admx
Scope: User
Path: Microsoft Office 2013\Shared paths
Policy Setting Name: Workgroup templates path
Supported on: At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7
Category: Shared paths
Explain Text: Specifies the location of workgroup templates.
Registry Key: HKCU\software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\common\general!sharedtemplates
Note: it is supported to populate this setting, with a UNC path, but not with a web path.
e.g.: \\server01\shared\templates <this is valid>
e.g.: http://server01/shared/templates <this is not valid>
This constraint (for web URIs) can be difficult to work around. If you are using SharePoint, and think WebDAV might work, it doesn't seem to work for us :(
Of course, if you have SharePoint, there are much better ways to handle document templates, but, our users are familiar with this File -> New -> from template type of method...
It can also be set manually by a user:

Update check status in FPCHR (issued from FI-CA) using EBS

Hi All -
We are planning to use FI-CA for issuing checks to our customers. We are also planning to have EBS.
Based on my searching here is what I have found about how to make FI-CA checks and EBS work.
1. Enhance Event 0061 in FICA so the recon key for check run posts entries (documents) at an individual check level into FICO with all the details like the check number,
2. Enhance event FEB00001 so the R/3 FICO document can be cleared based on the EBS entries.
Now my two questions are
a). If the above two steps are done, will the status of the check in the FPCHR automatically get updated from open to cleared? Just like how FPB12 program in ISU does? Will the encashment date etc get updated?
b). Are the above two steps still relevant since SAP seems to have made significant changes to EBS since 2008.
As always Thanks in Advance for spending your valuable time to answer.

Security violation from using underscores template

When using the template-function of the well-known underscore.js library I get an error:
Adobe AIR runtime security violation for JavaScript code in the application security sandbox (Function constructor).
In the browser this works fine. I don't see any security problems from using templates !?

I made some more tests: This code
var compiled = _.template("hello: <%= name %>");
air.trace(compiled({name : 'moe'}));
works when executed in $(document).ready (jQuery), but
it fails in the air.InvokeEvent.INVOKE-eventlistener, which
is always triggered after document-ready.
Seems that everything is fine until the AIR-part of the app
is up.
