Cisco Systems VPN Driver installed without my authorization

I just did a system software update, installing just the Security Update 2010-004. After rebooting I looked in the syslog and noticed for the first time a report of starting a Cisco Systems VPN driver:

My syslog goes back over a year and there is no prior report of such a driver being started. I don't think I have ever manually installed this driver. I have also listed all services by doing 'sudo launchctl list' and 'sudo launchctl bslist' and did not see any report of a Cisco service.
I would like to know why the driver is now being started every time on bootup, what caused this to occur, and how I can prevent it.
thanks,

  • I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the  size and RAM installed.
    "Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
    What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
    I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
    Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

  • Have leopard can I with using lion thumb drive, install without first install snow leoapard

    Have leopard, can I with using lion thumb drive, install without first install snow leoapard ?

    The requirement for Snow Leopard was for downloading Lion from the app store. With Lion on the thumb drive, you can upgrade without SL.

  • Cisco VPN client install fails with Error 1722 on Windows 7

    Hi,
    I am having issues with laptops upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.
    Prior to the upgrade they are running Cisco VPN Client 5.0.05.0290.  These laptops also have Juniper Network Connect 6.5 and Citrix web client installed.  The windows upgrade advisor made no recommendations regarding uninstalling / reinstalling these apps.
    I have done an inplace upgade to Windows 7 (Windows Vista Enterprise 32bit to Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit) and after the install the Cisco client is not working.  Uninstalled the client (the uninstall was successful) then reinstalled and the installation fails at Installing Cisco Systems Virtual Adapter - error 1722 there was a problem with the windows installer package.
    I have followed the steps for a manual uninstall of the Cisco client and then tried the install again - still not successful.  Interestingly (or not) the Juniper Network Connect also fails with the error The Network Connect Virtual adapter driver is not installed properly.  This also fails to reinstall after being removed.
    I tried removing the VPN clients on another laptop and then running the upgrade but the same errors occured when reinstalling the VPN Client.  I have tried the Winfix and DNE patch from Citrix but these fail saying there is a corruption in the application.
    On another laptop where only the Cisco VPN client was installed a reinstall was required after the upgrade, but it did install successfully.
    On a clean image these applications all install fine, however I have a large number of laptops do upgrade and don't want to do a fresh install and settings migration on all of them.
    What files / registry entrys are involved with the DNE adapter so I can manually clear it all out before reinstalling?
    Anything else I can do to troubleshoot this issue?
    Cheers,
    James

    You should be able to install the 64 bit version of the Cisco VPN software
    Latest version is vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0440-k9.exe
    You should download and run MCPR.exe first, to clean out any traces of McAfee products that conflict with Cisco VPN.
    http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
    If there is a problem with vbscript registration on the system - there is a fixit tool from Microsoft for that:
    MicrosoftFixit50842.msi
    (Using Shrew VPN is a possible workaround.)

  • Cisco AnyConnect VPN won't install, says There is a newer version of the AnyConnect client already installed

    I had an issue with my Cisco Anyconnect VPN not working, so uninstalled it. I've tried a new install and now I get the message "There is a newer version of the AnyConnect client installed" and it won't tell me install it at all. I've gone through various recommendations on the site included this :-
    Go to "Regedit" and search for "Deterministic Networks" and delete it.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Deterministic Networks
    Search with the following keywords in the registry, under "Uninstall" or  "Components" folders and delete any related entries.

  • Unwanted add-on installed without authorization.

    An add-on was installed to my Firefox browser without my authorization. I could not remove the add-on with Firefox or Widows programs removal, had to use Advance Installer Pro to remove it from my computer. However the search engine "Snap.do" kept on running every time I open a new tab even after removing and reinstalling Firefox and selecting the option of a blank page when I open a new tab.
    The add-on name is "Snap.do"

    In your "More system details", it indicates that snap.do is your address bar search provider. An easy way to fix that (and any other search oddities) is this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Regarding a new tab, you get a snap.do page if you press Ctrl+t? If the add-on is gone, you can update this setting as follows:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    ''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
    about:newtab
    ''(ii) Blank tab''
    about:blank
    ''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
    about:home
    ''(iv) Any other page''
    full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • I did a system upgrade (clean install) to Snow Leopard. I now have lost all of my Firefox bookmarks. Should they be somewhere in my backup files (on an external drive)? How do I locate them? And, how do I restore them to Firefox in the new system?

    Where would the Bookmarks be filed in my system backup? Can I move them to the new system (Internal drive)?

    Hi drnels,
    Are you saying you still have access to the backup? If you do, you should take a look at [[Backing up your information]]. It will show you where all of your personal information is stored in Firefox and how you can copy it to a new install.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?

    I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?

    Do you have access to another Mac with a disk drive?  If so you can do it in one of two ways:
    1 - on the Mac with the optical drive launch Disk Utility and make a disk image of the iLife 11 disk. Connect the two Macs together and transfer the disk image to your MacBook Air.  Mount the disk image and install from it.  I have my iLife disks saved that way for quick and easy reinstall when necessary.
    2 - connect the two Mac together so you can access the MBA from the Mac with the disk drive. Insert the iLife disk, and install from the second Mac to the MBA.

  • Installing Programs to an external/non-system hard drive (Raid 0)

    Hello,
    Here's the setup... a little different but should be simillar to MacPro setups. I have a Macbook with a 120gb stock drive and a 160gb 'optibay' hard drive installed where the superdrive was. It is all setup and running. I would like to Raid 0 the pair. That would give me a 37GB boot volume and a 220GB raid 0 internal volume.
    I cannot get LogicPro 7 or FCS to install on the second volume. The error is:
    "This software must be installed on the running system"
    Is there a way around this? Is it possible to install OS X on a raid 0 volume such that I would have a 220gb boot volume and a 37GB 'extra' portion?
    Thank you

    What idea beyond just installing it where it goes? The installer is set to not allow it. You might try installing it, moving it, and putting an alias where the original is supposed to be.

    had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete". can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?

    What installed iPhoto there in the first place?  Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac?  Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set?   You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

  • Target drive install on a mac computer without deactivating photoshop/lightroom

    Can I do a target drive install on a mac computer without deactivating photoshop/lightroom on my older computer? I would like transfer all programs over without re-downloading and re-installing. Thanks!

    I would recommend you only transfer your documents and settings to the new computer.  You will then want to install the software from your installation media.  Adobe software is not designed to be copied from one computer to another and it is likely you will face difficulties after trying to move the software over in this fashion.

  • New hard drive installed in Mac.  iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

    New hard drive installed in Mac.  iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

    It is referring to purchases made using an Apple ID that was set with that email as the Apple ID. Did you simply create a new Apple ID when the old email address was no longer being used? If so, then that old Apple ID is still tied (and will always be tied) to the purchases made with it, and you will have to sign into iTunes with that Apple ID in order to authorize the computer to it.
    If you don't remember the password for it, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to get them reset:

  • System Preference items randomly unlock without my authorization

    Recently I noticed that the lock at the bottom of my network and sharing preferences has been unlocking without my authorization. I normally leave the preferences locked and then if I need to make any changes I unlock it. I then lock it back up after I am finished. However, about three days ago I noticed that the lock was unlocked. I tried to lock it but it would not lock so I restarted the computer and was then able to lock it. I figured that some "gremlin" was in my machine. However, last night and this morning, I noticed that the lock was again unlocked. This time I was able to lock it without a restart.
    Any takers on this issue. I just want to make sure that my computer has not been hacked remotely and that someone is not unlocking these preferences in order to execute some malicious activity on my computer.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Thomas A Reed wrote:
    If someone had hacked your machine, that little lock - and those preferences, for that matter - would be of little interest or consequence. The fact that it wouldn't lock (+Why wouldn't it lock? What happened when you tried?) but worked fine after a restart suggests to me you had a glitch of some kind. Not sure what, exactly.
    When I clicked on the lock it did nothing other than stay unlocked. The restart fixed that issue but as mentioned in my original post, I found the lock again unlocked on two occasions after that. However, on these two subsequent occasions, I was able to engage the lock without a restart.
    Thomas A Reed wrote:
    Out of curiosity, why are you concerned about those locks? The fact that they're misbehaving on your machine aside, I've always found them rather silly, personally. If someone has access to your account, they can do worse than change your settings, and there are better ways of keeping trusted-but-unreliable users (like kids) from messing up your settings (namely, not letting them use your account in the first place).
    This is good to know. I wrongly assumed that these locks were an important security feature to prevent unauthorized changes to system components that would leave my system vulnerable to unauthorized use.
    The first thing I will do is trash the system preferences plist and restart. That seems to be the prevailing recommendation thus far.
