Do I need other antivirus program with Firefox & MS Active Sync?

Our computer guy removed AVG and installed Firefox and MS Active Sync on husband's lap top...said that was all he needed, but were is the antivirus protection????
He is running XP Business version.

If you are using Windows XP, I'd recommend using a anti-virus program. [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] is good, free and plays nicely with Firefox.

  • Do I need an antivirus program like McAfee with firefox?

    I see firefox has antivirus, but will it take the place of my McAfee when I switch from IE, also will it work with my mail provider and one last question how do I make the lettering on the web page larger? thank you.

    Firefox does not have antivirus, it is just a web browser. You still need an antivirus program and a firewall. Firefox does include phishing protection, by default when you visit a site it checks it against a list maintained by Google to see if the site is a known web forgery or known to contain malware, it will then warn you about the site.
    It should work with web based mail sites, though some web based mail sites may have some differences using Firefox compared to IE.
    To make the lettering larger see the [[text zoom]] and [[page zoom]] articles. If you want all sites to have larger text, you can use an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint].

  • Firefox won't open/connect tp the internet. Explorer opens and connects. Windows firewall turned off. No other antivirus program running. Happened when I downloaded new Firefox update.

    I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
    Here is what I did,
    Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
    It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

  • I want to save with alt s in the program Exact Online. This function is not working. this is the first time that i use this program with firefox.

    Question
    I want to save with <nowiki><alt><s></nowiki> in the program Exact Online. This function is not working. this is the first time that i use this program with firefox.
    '''edit''', mod escaped the '''<nowiki><s></nowiki>''' to prevent line through question

    Submitted too soon... To change your accelerator key for accesskeys to Alt alone (or a different combination), you can change a setting using Firefox's about:config preferences page.
    (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 '''ui.k''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Make sure '''ui.key.generalAccessKey''' is set to its default value of -1 (or right-click and choose Reset if it is not).
    (4) Double-click '''ui.key.contentAccess''' to open a dialog box to change the value from its current default (on Windows, 5) to your choice of the following:
    * 2 = '''Ctrl''' (Fx default on Mac thru Fx13)
    * 3 = Ctrl + Shift
    * 4 = '''Alt''' (IE/Chrome/Safari default on Win/Linux)
    * 5 = '''Alt + Shift''' (Fx default on Windows & Linux)
    * 6 = '''Ctrl + Alt''' (Fx default on Mac from Fx14) (Chrome/Safari default on Mac)
    * 7 = Ctrl + Alt + Shift
    This should take effect as soon as you OK the dialog, so you can experiment in a separate tab. Other combinations are available if you want to try them. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.key.contentAccess (inaccessible at the moment?)

  • Do I need an antivirus program?

    This is my first apple. I am curious about viruses. I know, macs safe for Windows viruses. But what about mac viruses? Should I use a antivirus program?

    Data loss is the least of your concerns if you get infected these days. Most malware is used for fraud and spying. A backup won't help you when some nigerian has raided your bank account.
    You don't deal with malware much, especially on windows based platforms.  Malware sometimes can't be defeated by various fixes as sugested by user forums.  When the time comes that you sinply want to go back to the point before something serious happened you can do a restore.  On the Mac it is extremely easy to protect yourself in this manner by simply doing a full backup on a bootable volume.  Then everytthing is back to the point before you were impacted.
    BTW why do you bring up Nigeria, we aren't discussing email fraud related to "too good to be true" con jobs.

  • Help with Exchange 2007, Active Sync and iPhone 3g - software 2.0.2

    Hello good evening and *******
    Now that's said, is anyone else having 'issues' with this?
    I'm on install number ten of Exchange 2007 and god knows how many different variations of trying to connect to it on the phone. I can get OWA working on the phone and via the web both on the phone and via my home pc, i've had Outlook at home working and i've had Outlook at work working. Honestly when it works, it's seamless and very very quick however i'd like it to work for longer than a day and have some faith that it will do so.
    What I keep finding is that for some reason, despite nothing changing on the server or the phone is that Active Sync eventually fails and for no apparent reason. The longest i've had it working is just over a day ( yesterday) and last night it packed up again.
    I think it's something to do with certificates / dns but that's purely guesswork as I thought i'd fixed it last time by setting up the FQDN to point at both internal and external network cards on our internal network.
    I would also like to point out that Exchange2007 has been working perfectly throughout all of this, it's just the iPhone / ActiveSync part that dies - unsurprisingly this is the most important bit for me as that's the bit our sales force will be relying on when we transfer to exchange.
    I'm no Mac 'fan' and i'm not that much in love with Windows but there seems to be something amiss between Apple and Microsoft and due to the iPhones complete lack of diagnostic logging further compounded by silent error messages i'm at a loss to find out where / why / when it's breaking.
    Is there a 2.0.3 update due which will address this problem?
    In the meantime i'm off to install Exchange ..... again, set up security certificates ... again ..... and see if it will fix what's broken .... again

    And now it's working!!!
    I changed the following in IIS.
    Default website - Microsoft Server ActiveSync Properties
    virtual directory - read access enabled
    directory security - integrated windows authentication, digest authentication, basic authentication enabled
    realm - set to mydomain.com
    Changed the same things for OWA
    That appears to have done the trick but i've been here before so i'll see if it stays working over the weekend.
    As a phone ... i'm impressed, as a web enabled device, i'm impressed but as a Corporate Tool ..... i've yet to be impressed, largely due to the complexity of integration into exchange.

  • I now have installed Firefox to replace Internet explorer 9. Do I still need an other antivirus program like Mc Afee or Norton for protection of my laptop?

    At this moment I have Mc Afee installed but this will expire within a few weeks.
    Do I have to extend this if I use firewall instead of internet explorer?

    Yes you do.

  • Why is Safari shutting down my other internet programs like Firefox and Internet Explorer?

    I just got an ipod not too long ago and when I plugged it into my computer, it installed not only itunes but safari as well. Everything was fine until about two weeks ago. The program Internet Explorer stopped working one morning. I didn't think Safari had anything to do with it. A few days later, Firefox shut down. Both said they could not connect to the internet. I was looking at my bookmarks in Safari yesterday, and I realized that Safari had moved over all bookmarks from Internet Explorer. How can I keep Safari from interfering with Internet Explorer and Firefox? And how can I bring Internet Explorer and Firefox back to life?

    Thanks for taking your time reading this.

    then don't reply if you're not going to read it, i
    just gave the url, Don't get snitty. I'm just informing you that most people here don't want to click a link and read your whole bloody assignment. If you want help, the burden is on you to make it as easy as possible for people to help you. I was only trying to inform you about what's more likely to get you help. If doing things your way is more important to you than increasing your chances of being helped, that's your prerogative.
    so you can get an idea on what
    it's about, and yeah i know how to add a constructor,
    that's very obvious, That's what I thought, but you seemed to be saying, "How do I add this c'tor?" That's why I was asking for clarification about what specific trouble you're having.
    i just want to know how to
    implement everything correctly, so don't start
    flaming people. I wasn't flaming you in the least. I was informing you of how to improve your chances of getting helped, and asking for clarification about what you're having trouble with.

    I'm not sure about your SGI, but if it is a little endian machine, then
    that will cause problems. If that is the case, you will want to swap
    the words and bytes of the four byte values.
    To debug this more easily, you might just make sure you send over very
    predictable data such as 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Lots of times these are
    tested with random data, but that makes it pretty hard to see a pattern
    when the data is wrong.
