CF 8- security scan pins fckeditor issue after hotfix applied

Howdy,
We're trying to get a new web site launched on CF8. We are running 8.0.1, and I've applied the fckeditor vulnerability hotfix. The hotfix
file shows up in the update field and classpath, and the file appears to be located where the hotfix notes say it should be. I removed the two connector files in the hotfix notes, since we don't need fckeditor for uploads.
Our client is using McAfee Secure to run a security scan on the site, and it repeatedly points up the fckeditor vulnerability, even though the hotfix has been applied.
I've checked and double checked the hotfix installation, stopped and restarted CF, rebooted the server, and still the scans insist the vulnerability remains.
I'm about at my wit's end, and the client is ready to pull the project.
Anybody had this kind of problem? Any ideas?
Thanks very much for your time and attention.

Hi,
It might be because of the "Privacy Service" module which comes along with the "McCafe", try removing that using the McCafe uninstallation tools.

Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440

Hi all,
This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact. I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
Part Description                                           Symptom
IMAGE                                                             Replaced due to engineering change
System board                                                 Network card error
Hard disk drive                                                Network card error
ECA-WIRELESS                                            <no symptom listed>
There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
Windows 8.1
SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
Build 9600
I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
Log Information,
Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm
You have not done a hardware test on your computer
And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
Then, I ran hardware scan again...
Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
64 of them are the disk error.
341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
One of them says {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.
16 are warnings that various processors in Group 0 are being limited by system firmware.
12 say the certificate for local system with thumbprint <bunch of hex numbers> is about to expire or already expired.
108 are warnings for failure to load the driver \Driver\WUDFRd for various devices
16 are application errors
One is for the computer rebooting from a "bug check"
15 are for name resolutions timing out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
10 are for SecureBoot being disabled.
14 for services terminating unexpectedly
15 are for WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
61 are for applications not being able to be restarted because the application SID does not match Conductor SID
12 are for activation of CLSID timing out waiting for the service wuauserv to stop
So, I'll call them on Monday and open. a. new. case (#5?) - but really 7. And get A NEW BOX.
I'll keep you updated!

Hi amycdero and welcome to the HP Forum,
I understand that you are having scanning and printing issues after upgrading to Mavericks OS X v10.9.1. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
In this document for Mac OS X: Scanning Software Does Not Open or Stops Responding are steps the may help you with your scanning issue.
This document for Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems should help with the streaking printing issue.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know.
Thank you,

MacBook Pro C2D Wireless issues after 10.4.10 - issue pin pointed !

I have a MacBook Pro C2D which has started to do random disconnects from my WLAN.
I am running the latest Tiger 10.4.10
No matter if I use the network connection actively by surfing, chatting, listening to netradio, downloading or if it is just idle, it randomly disconnects. Sometimes after 30 mins, sometimes after several hours.
It never reconnects it selves until I do it manually. But then it has no problem reconnecting.
It is quite annoying, especially since I sometimes run services like a web server (for development reasons) and sometimes want to download large files using either http, ftp or bittorrent. But I cannot trust it to finish the downloads, as it randomly disconnects.
It haven't always done these things. It has started occurring after the last couple of updates from Apple I think (don't remember excatly when).
I have 3 different accesspoints with different wireless chip sets, but it occurs on all of them. Also I have a couple of PC Laptops that dosn't have this problem on my network.
I pinned my issue to one specific setting in my wireless router.
In WPA mode, this setting affects the stability of my link:
ReAuthentication Timer
It is normally set to 1800 secs (30 mins) - and this makes my MBP disconnect every - yes - 30 mins...almost. Sometimes it tend to survive the interval.
The valid range is 10-9999 seconds in my router.
If set to 10 secs, it almost disconnects all the time - every 10 secs.
If set to 9999 I can work some hours without disconnects (my guess is 9999 secs, or 166 mins).
It seems like some update from Apple in the 10.4.10 release, efficiently broke the WPA encryption implementation of ReAuthentication.
It makes no difference to switch between WPA and WPA2.
Has anyone found a way to fix this from the OS X end, instead of compromising security on the Access Point end?

Whilst I don't personally have the same problem reported here, that's a pretty offensive reply.
You might want to spend a bit of time here
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1135&start=0
and let these people know that they have the best router in the business and that all their computers are working great before advising people to forget about trying to get to the root cause of an issue and spend a load of money instead.
I got a bit frustrated with a post on this forum a little while ago and posted a snotty reply. The original poster called me on it and told me that I didn't have to reply, once I thought about it, I realised the OP was correct and apologised.
Are you big enough to do the same?
Best of luck.

I am working on Security scan(to avoid cross site forgery) with the CSRF approach of tomcat(apache-tomcat-6.0.32) but I am getting following issue with firefox:
1. Firefox is not supporting CSRF provided by tomcat in a proper way firefox creating multiple sessions.
2. Whenever any exception (like JSP exception) comes on page. Firefox redirects it to CSRFPreventionFilter and this filter creates new session.
3. Sometimes while traversing through application also CSRFPreventionFilter filter creates new session.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Security scans on DBMS server still show Java vulnerabilities after applying JavaVM Component patch 20233168

JavaVM Component patch 19618575 was applied to our Oracle 11.2.0.3 DBMS Windows 8 server and a security scan was done showing no vulnerabilities.
However, patch 19618575 was rolled back by Bundle Patch 34 (20227195) and Oracle released another JavaVM Component patch 20227195. We applied the new JavaVM patch successfully and the System Admin did the security scan which showed there was still a vulnerability for the JavaVM Component.
Is anyone else having this problem.

Richard,
I have just applied patch to upgrade from Portal 3.0.9 to 3.0.9.8.1 (Patch applied to loginserver and portal schema) and the External Applications that were previously set up have gone from the portlet.
Does this relate to your note at the bottom:
"Minor issues with Bulk action. 1840420 CUSTOM WRITTEN EXTERNAL AUTH MODULE NEED TO BE UPDATED AFTER 3.0.9 UPGRADE SSOXOID.PKB DOESN'T LOAD.
External authentication modules that were written before 3.0.9 need to be updated after upgrading to 3.0.9. ssoauthx.pks is updated in 3.0.9 and contains additional routines that need to be implemented." ??
If I go to the "Login Server Administration" portlet and select the link "Administer External Applications" I get a list of 5 External Applications that have previously been set up.
If I go back to the Home Page and select "customize" on the "External Applications" portlet I get the message "Your Login Server administrator has not registered any external applications".
Does that mean I should just run 'ssoauthx.pks' & 'ssoxoid.pkb' or do I need to do something else ??
Thanks
Simo

Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network. Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible. Horrible update!! Any ideas on a fix?

It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

I just started using firefox version 26 official. I noticed that after downloading one exe file firefox did not security scan. Earlier version always did.

I just started using Firefox version 26 official today. I noticed that after downloading any file Firefox is not performing security scan. Earlier version always did. Does FF26 do security scan at the time of downloading itself? or security scan has been removed from the Firefox 26? i like the new UI of Firefox but i am security conscious.

You can check the <b>browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and if necessary reset this pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.

Issues with FMSEdge process while security scan in progress

We have recently deployed Flash Media Streaming server 3.5.2 and Flash Media Encoder on a Windows 2003 machine. We are able to capture live streaming and the regular streaming of recorded video’s without any issues.
We are encountering an issue with one of the FMS’s process’s whenever a security scan is performed on the machine, during the security scan process one of the process’s for FMS called FMSEdge.exe creeps all the way up to 100% CPU utilization. This is causing problems with security scan not completing.
Have any of you experienced this kind of problem? Could you please let us know if there is solution to this issue.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter issues - flimsy and won't work with cases

Anyone else having issues with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter/Connectors? When applied to my Sony docking stations (numerous btw), the iPhone 5 barely rests securely on the connector AND the Lightning pin itself won't even fit or connect on the phone when the cases is on - this is iPhone 101 folks. I shall be returning all of my conenctors that I have purchased as they do me no good. Would really appreciate a proper fit and well stock of these items ASAP as its causing tremendouse aggrevation with the conenctor switchover.

I have the same problem. I bought the same type of Speck Candy Shell case that I had for my 3GS iPhone. The $34.00 Lighting to 30-pin adapter will not fit through the case and into the IPhone 5. I just talked to Apple support and after being on hold 5 mins while the tech talked to her supervisor, the Apple solution is "take your case off the phone when you want to use the adapter". I hope thousands of us complain and Apple fixes this. If Apple had not been so secretive and talked to accessory manufacturers they would of know that the Adapter they designed was faulty. Now I how to drive to an Apple store to return the Adapter to get my money back. Only the USB cable will fit through the case into the iPhone 5.
Bad Adapter design my Apple. Thats what happens when you design a product for millions of people - in a secretive bubble.

Security Scan found Weak and Medium strength ciphers port 389&636

After a recent security scan on one of our Apple Servers running 10.9.5 (Mavericks) it has reported weak and medium strength ciphers on port 389&636 and also that SSLv2 and SSLv3 is enabled. The Server is running Profile Manager and therefore also Open Directory although we are not really using Open Directory for authentication as we have AD within the organisation.
My question is how can I modify Open Directory to only use HIGH ciphers and not MEDIUM or LOW? I have found the httpd-ssl.conf file but that is only listening on port 443. I have also found the slapd.conf but can't see where I would make the change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

So would you believe it I've managed to get it working. I wanted to see if Yosemite suffered from the same 'issues' that Mavericks does with SSLv2 & SSLv3 support. Also the weak ciphers bsing used. Well they scannex that server and found exactly the same 'issues' as before. So I started working on it this morning editing slapd.conf, slapd.conf.default, slapd_macosxserver.conf and apache-ssl.conf it might sound overkill but I thought what the ****. I added the following lines to all conf files:
SSLProtocol ALL -SSLv2
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!SSLv2:!ADH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!NULL
TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+TLSv1:!SSLv2:+SSLv3
and and it worked. Passed the scan with flying colours however might need to mod SLLv3 to keep theM happy.
I need to replicate this on a Mavericks Server so hope the jist is the same.
thanks for the advice Linc.

I opened the attachment on a malicious email in error on my IPad and have been informed by the genuine company that it will download malware software. Is this possible on my IPad or is there a way of running a security scan to see if it has been infected?

I received an email that I now know to be malicious and inadvertently opened up the attachment on my IPad that I've been informed will download malware or a virus. Can my IPad be infected this way or does anyone know if there is a way of running a security scan to check if there is a problem? I do have the most up to date IOS software installed.

There is no anti-malware for iOS, at least none that actually does anything useful. The odds of getting any malware infection via an email attachment on an iOS device is quite low - practically non-existent. Unless you are seeing any issues, there isn't much to do, other than deleting the email and being more cautious in the future.

HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Hello,
For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
The problem:
Printing: Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
Scanning: Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
Things I have tried:
Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
Things I have not tried:
Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
You tell me
Curiosities:
I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
Theories:
I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that.
Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

Hi Zerosouls,
I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
Please let me know what happens

[Solved] Overheating/fan/sensors issues after kernel updates

Hi all,
I realise there has been a bit of correspondence on this already. I'm after some advice for my specific situation:
1. My laptop is an acer aspire 5315. I has well understood overheating issues that arrise due to BIOS problems
2. Fan control and temperature reporting worked perfectly with kernel 2.6.30, stopped working with 2.6.31 - I assume due to the well documented changes made in that release. The temperature only seems to be read once - at boot. sensors never reports a change after that; if the temperature is cold at boot the fan never get switched on. Unfortunately this happens most often.
3. I tried setting the recommended kernel option (can't relocate the post now). It didn't help :-?
4. I have tried upgrading the BIOS but the distribution from acer is a windows executable (won't run under freeDOS) and I do not have windows installed on this PC (not game to try under wine).
5. I re-installed the old kernel from my pacman cache only to find that my wireless no longer works (fan works just fine though).
I'm now totally stumped :-/
I'd like to update my bios and go with the latest kernel but can't see a way without installing windows.
This might be fixed in an ubuntu kernel release (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/453700) but I'd prefer not to do that switch... perhaps the same fix is coming to arch?
I'd accept having to pin the kernel to an earlier version but neet to get the wireless working.
help...
edit:
I've now managed to get the kernel backdated correctly (so that wireless works as well as the fan) by re-installing the kernel and firmware together.
Have configured pacman to igmore future kernel updates
If anyone has any suggestions on howto update my bios I'd be very greatful.
Last edited by drandre (2009-11-06 13:26:46)

Hi,
Got exactly the same issue, after running for a while laptop justs goes off... going to try to regress kernel until issue is resolved
BIOS update does sound a bit extreme

My PC fails security scan when downloading Adobe reader

My PC fails security scan when installing Adobe Reader

I have Windows 7. When I try to download anything like a PDF, Adobe reader or any external file, the process includes a security scan. It could be before the download or after it is complete, but at a point before download or before it can be opened, the the message says that it failed or failed the security scan.
I tried to troubleshoot Windows 7 and get as error message: 0x800B010E. It could it be related to the software download problem where I get message other than security failure or it won't load.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise, Version 6.1( Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

MAJOR Wireless, Safari, Dock & Finder issues after latest updates

I'm having major issues after the latest AirPort, Security Fix and Safari updates in 10.5.2: Safari keeps crashing every hour, Wireless connections time out and Airport occasionally crashes when I try to turn it off/on. Sometimes the systems gets stalled and has lag - I'm not sure if Safari crashing is causing this or it's the system that causes Safari to freeze and crash - often the dock becomes unresponsive too and makes me force shutdown and reboot. I've had to reboot like this more than 4 times today, something isn't right. My questions, therefore:
1) Is there a way to restore my Mac to the state BEFORE the latest upgrades?
2) I can't recall the exact names and versions of the updates, is there a way to access the update log files, so that I can take notes on what actually was updated and when?
3) Is there any other way to access log files that may have more information on the crashes that I've had lately?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Reinis,
In this situation, the first thing I would do is log into a different user account (if you do not have one, create one) and then see if the symptoms persist with the new user account. To directly answer your questions:
1) Is there a way to restore my Mac to the state BEFORE the latest upgrades?
Archive and Install using the OS DVD or by using Time Machine if you have it enabled.
2) I can't recall the exact names and versions of the updates, is there a way to access the update log files, so that I can take notes on what actually was updated and when?
Fire up System Preferences, click on the Software Update icon and then select the Installed Updates tab.
3) Is there any other way to access log files that may have more information on the crashes that I've had lately?
Console, which is in your Applications/Utilities folder.
