File Security Protection

I have tried to do some reading on individual files folders 256 AES encrpytion. Is there any advantgage to a stand alone vs say betterzip encryption?
Do not need anything that does the whole disc, points to consider?
Sorry writing on my iphone and this site does not seem to be optimize for it

No additional advantage. 256 AES is as secure as it gets (today).
Your best bet is to create an encrypted disk image using Disk Utility, and store your files there.

When you enter you password, be sure the checkbox to store it in your keychain is UNchecked. The, don't forget that password!

Disable "Open File Security Warning"

Hi whenever I try to open a file from the local hardrive I get the "Open File Security Warning" asking me whether I want to open the file or not. This is getting rather annoying. I searched online but everything I found seems to be dealing with network shares and I am not using that. Just a file on the local hard drive in the computer I am using to the right of me. I remember in my last install I turned it off somehow, but for the life of me I can't figure out how I did it. Anybody have any ideas? Or is this here to stay?

Windows 7 - Launching unsafe files is in this path;
IE -> Internet Options -> Security tab -> Custome Level -> Scroll down in Settings -> Look for radio button "Launching applications and unsafe files (not secure)".
Don't know if it solves the problem or not but option is there.
Great, on Windows 8 x64 this is an option I can find and set.
It will generate a nasty warning in the system tray. And does not solve the problem:
I have downloaded a warez archive and extracted it. The resulting .exe file is a wrapped program which will extract everything to my choosings. I've used it before.
When I try to run the program, all I get is:
Windows Security
These files can't be opened
Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.

I do not use IE, I use chrome. What is this strange behaviour?? :(

I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

I cannot seem to edit PDF files on Adobe Acrobat as it says the files are protected and I need to enter a Permissions Password?

If the files have a permissions password, you need to know it, and remove security, before you can edit the files. That is correct.

I have an add-in called "Security Protection 1.0.0" that i don't recall adding and i can't find any information on it. i have disabled it for now. what is it?

the add-on is called "Security Protection 1.0.0 by lightning"
i have included the image that is shown on the addins page corresponding to this addin.
the tag lists the image source as src="chrome://shortcutff/skin/icon.png" if that is helpful.
i have noticed that the chrome browser also has the same looking addin except that it is version "1.2.4"
thank you

You can check the extensions.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to see if this extension is installed globally in case there is not Remove button in about:addons but only a Disable buuton.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

ITunes 9 installation error "Error getting file security"

Every time I try to install iTunes 9, I get this error:
Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\QuickTime 7.62.14.0\GetLastError: 5
Any ideas? I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

itunes installs quicktime. The trouble is with the security settings in the folder in C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache.
On both the Apple Computer folder and the Installer Cache, you will need to take ownership. Then delete the quicktime folder.
First, to see the folder, in explorer go to Organize, folder options, then view tab. There click the radio button see hidden files and unclick hide protected system files.
Then navigate over to the folder location above.
Right click on the folders, click on properties, then security.
There at the bottom, click on advanced. Then click on the owner tab. There you can change the owner to the user that you logged on as.
That should fix it. Remember to delete the quicktime folder after to take ownership.

How to make pdf files save protected

Hi,
We have displayed some company policy documents on our portal, we want to make those pdf files save protected and print protected, i.e we want to make the save and print button disabled.
Can you please help out with this issue.

Hi,
In your case, you cannot do much to protect the PDF unless you create a Repository Filter (Content Filter) in which you change the security settings of the PDF file.
This needs some expertise in modifying PDF documents with some Java PDF libraries.
Check googling for Java PDF libraries, you will find some and get acquainted to them and start programming.

Since the last update yesterday to firefox 4.0.1 my program "asus security protect manager" doesn't work properly. That means, that the saved keys from several websites not remembered for lock in.

since the last update yesterday to firefox 4.0.1 my program “asus security protect manager” doesn’t work properly. That means, that the saved keys from several websites not remembered for lock in.

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

Need advice on Mac file security

1. I use Office For Mac, Excel version 14.3.0 I can save an Excel file with a password, but I do not know what type of encrption Excel uses to encrypt the file. Maybe AES 128?
2. I know I can use Disk Utility to create an encrypted disk image, and then store the Excel file in the encrypted disk image.
3. I also know that I can use FileVault to encrypt the entire drive.
When it comes to encrypting and protecting an individual Excel file, does one of the three options provide a higher level of security protection? If so, which one and why? Should I use a combination of the above options to "double encrypt" sensitive Excel files?
Advice welcome!

first of all please review this article and related posts....also do an assessment of how time machine will play into the equation in the advent of a restore

Open File - Security Warning with Network-based Silent Install of CS4

I am attempting to run an enterprise deployment of CS4 Design Standard Edition onto a pool of WinXP Pro workstations. I placed all of the install files on a networked server running Windows 2003, and generated from there all of the requisite .xml files (install, uninstall, and override files). From this network share, I can successfully run a silent install.
HOWEVER. Multiple times (two or three) during the course of the silent install, I receive the same pop-up security warning from Windows XP (definitely an OS message, not anti-virus or other) that reads as follows:
Open File - Security Warning
Do you want to run this file?
Name: AIRApplicationRunner.exe
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
Type: Application
From: (server IP address)
I have tried excluding Adobe Air from the installation package, but I still receive the same security prompt. This is sufficiently a hassle to have to click through these prompts in a silent install. But more importantly I am unable to run the silent install as part of a logoff script because for all intents & purposes it is no longer a silent install (i.e. it requires user intervention). To top it off, I found when testing the logoff script the prompts are suppressed and the installation fails prior to the bulk of the installation (Photoshop, Illustrator, & InDesign).
I'm sure that I could run the install by copying all of the files to each local workstation, but again that would defeat the purpose of an easy, network-based install. In the past I was able to install CS3 in this fashion with no troubles, which of course did not include Adobe Air.
Can anybody offer a suggestion as to how to disable these security messages, or alternately, how to entirely exclude Adobe Air from the install package? I have found a VB script that is supposed to address the security warnings issue, but to run the script also requires the user to accept it at a security prompt.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I'm now able to deploy design suite premium cs4 successfully.
The issue for me was that the AirapplicationRunner installs some useless software. I worked around the issue with the Airapplicationrunner prompt by removing any apps that are installed using that method. By "removing" I mean marking that app as "donotinstall" in the deployment file. The apps I removed are these adobe codes for adobe media player, adobe.com, adobeair itself. The below is from my deploy.xml file used for the silent workflow:
donotinstall
donotinstall
donotinstall
If you mark those three adobe codes as "donotinstall" the prompt never appears and the real apps get installed just fine.

Why do I get a file security error when downloading itunes.

I try to download itunes, but about halfway through an error messge comes up that says error with file security:get lasterror:5

Hi lizz4321,
A digital ID is made up of three components; a private key, a corresponding public key, and some identifying information. The keys themselves are pretty straight forward, they are just big blobs of numbers used to encrypt and decrypt data. It's the identifying information that gets a bit tricky. On first look, the identifying information looks like plain text. You'll see your name and the issuer's name, a serial number, some dates for when the validity starts and ends. All pretty straight forward.
However, all of this information is actually formatted using something called ASN.1 (it stands for Abstract Syntax Notation) and then encoded using BER (Basic Encoding Rules). When someone creates a digital ID they can put just about anything in there. Per specifications (RFC 5280 if you wanted to look it up) some items are required, and others are optional. Each piece of information that goes into the public-key certificate (the PKC is basically the digital ID without the private key) is contained in an extension. These extensions are identified using an OID (Object ID) and conform to a specification which may either be public or confidential.
There are two possibilities in the case you are seeing. Either, some of the information that Acrobat knows about was formatted or encoded incorrectly, or, there is an optional entry that Acrobat doesn't understand how to decode. My guess is it's the latter possibility. There is a rule that states if an extension is marked as critical, and the application using the public-key certificate (in this case the application would be Acrobat), doesn't understand the extension, then the application is supposed to reject the certificate. It could be the former case (badly formatted data), but without seeing the certificate all I can do is guess.

How do I restore partial backup of File Vault protected files?

Here's what happened.
Used TM on an external drive not big enough to do a full backup of my internal drive (with File Vault protected home folder), so I excluded everything but my Documents and Photos folders. I saw TM working, I could browse through old backups in TM and locate files. I know the home directory won't copy when you are logged in and FV turned on, and I never had the TM drive attached when I was logged off, but I didn't backup my home folder, just files inside it and like I said, I was able to view the files in TM.......before my internal drive died.
So now I got my laptop running again and can't restore from TM because I didn't have a full backup. And while I can open TM now and scroll back to previous backup dates, there's nothing in my old users directory except some Acrobat user data junk. I've looked at the directories in Finder and don't see any of the sparse bundle (?) files I've seen in other posts.
6000 photos. Gone.
Hundreds of dollars of iTunes downloads. Gone.
Please tell me there's a way to recover this. I don't care as much about the music, that's replaceable, but I really want to get those photos back. Is it possible? Was TM tricking me into thinking my photos were backed up when they weren't? I have to be missing something; I need help from anyone that can. It doesn't seem right to show me the files in TM if they really hadn't been backed up.

stephenberk wrote:
I never logged out, only restarted after Software Update.
As I noted, TM only backs up a FV User folder after you log out, giving you a notice that a backup is about to start. If you never logged out and have never seen this notice then you have no backup of your FV folder.
The data may still be available on your HD and can be recovered with software and/or commercial data-recovery businesses, but being encrypted makes it much more difficult.
When I scrolled back through my backups, I could browse the Photos and Documents. I prevented TM from backing up Library and Public and couldn't browse those. Where are those partial backups? I feel beyond misled by Apple. How could I have seen (and still see the dates in TM the backups were done) all those things if it hadn't actually backed it up? I could have easily copied my files manually onto the firewire drive (as I was doing before I started using TM). But then I had to delete those backups to run TM on it. Unbelievable. This almost seems criminal.

I downloaded the album Hullabaloo and the files are protected and won't let me put them on my iPod touch, even though the computer is authorized. How do i unprotect them?

Read the title, that's basically it. It says it can't put the songs on my iPod because the computer isn't authorized, even though it is. The files are "protected" and have been like that since i bought the album. Any help? Thanks:)

De-authorize your computer, then authorize it again.

Cant install itunes (file security error) PLEASE HELP

I uninstalled itunes because i could not update it. now when i try to install it it comes up with this
"error getting file security: C:\programdata\Apple\Apple Application Support\kdrl\GetLastError:5"
Can you please help me.
Thanks

Delete the folder C:\ProgramData\Apple\Apple Application Support then try again.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Open File - Security Warning - minor annoyance

Ever since I installed SQL Developer 1.5.5 I get an Open File - Security Warning. The publisher could not be verified.
I can still run the software, but it is something I haven't seen with SQL Developer before and I have been running it since 1.2
Anyone else have this issue or just me?

I know this a very delayed answer to a 2009 question. But I had a similar problem today and tried to search for a reply and landed in this page. Later I figured out that the executable file was in blocked stage. Files received from mail and internet downloads are blocked based on security settings and execution will be permitted after review and allow manually. As a one time activity, the executable file can be unblocked (Right click - > Properties -> Click Unblock) after which this warning will not appear.
