Flashing "Running Security Scan..."

On Windows 7, 64-bit, MS Office 2010; when I try to launch an online software that integrates a fillable-form into my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, at the bottom of my IE9 screen, flashing nearly 2 times per second, I see messages that say: "Running Security Scan...". I have to quite IE and force Adobe Acrobat to quit to stop it. How can I fix this so that I can properly run the software? (It works okay on my old slow XP, 32-bit coomputer, Office 2007, but the manufactureres say it is not an Office 2010 problem, nor Windows 7, 64-bit). Also, this happens whether or not my Trend Micro Anti-virus software is running.

That's something local on your computer or browser; not the Adobe download site.

Security scans of applications

We are using FormsCentral for an application for a New York State program. The state would like to run security scans on the form. Who can we speak to to give the list of scans that they would like to run?

New York State IT would like to run the following actions on a form that we want to open for people to fill out for a New York State program.
They will be using a web vulnerability scanner:
-Transport Support (Http,https)
-XSS Vulnerabilities
-4 Concurrent Connections
-proper behavior of cookies
They say this is very basic scanning. They will not be trying to overload the system with a crawl or attack.

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.

How do I run a security scan on my macbook pro?

How do I run a security scan on my macbook pro?

If you have only Mac OSX running you don't need to run any security scan.
If any major security risk exists Apple offers Security Updates.
Just don't install any applications not needed,
If you run Windows that is a different story.

Why does Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player keep installing McaFee Security Scan on my system?

Whenever I install the Adobe Flash player or Adobe Reader on my system, it downloads and installs McAfee Security Scan Plus at the same time. It does not ask if I want it or not, it instead forces it on me, so I have to then unistall it. I've unistalled it 3 or 4 times in the last week. I DO NOT WANT MCAFEE PRODUCTS on my computer!
Please make this an option, give the users a choice so we don't have to keep removing the stupid thing.

Did you 'Uncheck" the relevant box pointed by the red arrow ? If not you accepted the installation with McAfee.

Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed. Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below. While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.

How do I run a system security scan on an iPad or iMac?

How do I run a system security scan for things like malware that i could have got from Facebook on an iPad or iMac?

iPads and Macs are very different.
For Macs there are many security suites and virus scanners out there you can use. A Google search should point some out.
iPads at this time cannot get infected by malware or viruses. There is just nothing out there currently that can infect them. As such there is no way to scan them for anything and its not really necessary.

Adobe Flash player now demands installation of McAfee Security Scan, is there an alternative to Adobe Flash player?

I do not want ant McAfee products installed on my system but now it seems that Adobe Flash player goes hand in hand with McAfee Security Scan, you can't have one without the other. What on earth are Adobe up to and are there any other options? Thank you.

You can download without mcaffe, jus uncheck the '''Optional offer'''

McAfee Security Scan Plus and Flash Player installer

Hi.
I went to update Flash Player earlier today by downloading the web installer from the website, but by mistake didn't uncheck the option to install McAfee Security Scan Plus with Flash. However, after comparing the two files that are downloaded when the option is/isn't unchecked, I noticed that the MD5/CRC hashes for both files are exactly the same. I opened the file, and noticed that the installer was downloading both Security Scan Plus and Flash. I canceled the installation which was fine, but I have several questions.
How does the installer know if the user wants to install Security Scan if both files are the same?
Is Security Scan installed as soon as the download is complete (as shown in the installer), or only after Flash finisheds downloading as well?
Thanks.

Bundling other software in the installer is a sign of a DYING company. Now I have to do more work and uninstall this stuff. Yeah, you got me. "Angry" is not strong enough. -Foffu.

McAfee Security Scan Plus installs with Flash Player

If I apply and download the distributable MSI or EXE for the flash player, will this include the McAfee Security Scan Plus software with it or can you only get the Security Scan Plus if you do a manual upgrade of the flash client?

Getting Flash Player Security Error when running extension.

I had created a nifty utility which uses a Flash interface. It worked fine in CS3, but after upgrading to CS4, I keep getting the Flash Player Security Error popup when I run it.
=======================================
Adobe Flash Player Security
Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:
C:\Program%20Files\Adobe\%20Photoshop%20CS4\Presets\...\ChopBot.swf
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
<unknown>
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart the application after changing your settings.
[OK] [Settings...]
In CS3, opening the Global Security Settings panel and adding the script's path to the trusted locations would fix this problem, and the utility would work going forward.
In CS4, however, adding the script's path to the trusted locations seems to have no effect.
I am using the ExternalInterface class in the Flash UI to communicate to and from the JavaScript.
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a solution?

Welcome to our community, Rachel
Where are you running your movie from? If you are planning on
running them from a server, there should be no need to worry about
your end user seeing those messages. However, if you are planning
on each user copying them to their own hard drive or if you are
running from a CD-ROM, you may need to perform some trickery to
make them work without issue.
The message is occurring because there are links in some of
the files that point to internet resources and the Flash player is
seeing that as a potential security risk. So it is blocking the
action until you pat it on the head and assure it the world will
not, in fact, end if it shows you the content.
If you wish to banish the screen on your PC, take a look at
the tutorial linked below.

I'll hold off on the other bit until I'm certain what we are

McAfee Security Scan Plus

New computer, installed Firefox, went to get Flash Player for Firefox.
Install the plugin, Firefox warning comes up about software trying to be installed, click "allow", install window pops up, 3;2;1, click install.
Adobe Download Manager comes up downloads Flash Player, Adobe Flash install programs starts, need to close Firefox to continue
Flash installed, McAfee Security Scan Plus installed.....
Huh? What? McAfee Security Scan Plus????
Their was no notification that McAfee Security Scan Plus was going to be installed. Their was no check box.
I am an IT guy. I dont get viruses. I dont fall for scams. I dont get phished. I dont click "yes" on anything that pops up on my screen. I fix all my family and freinds computers. I build my own computers, I havent bought a premade pc from a company in over 15 years. I am a Linux system admin.
When I install software, like Flash player, I read everything that pops up on my screen, except for the full EULA.
I cant wait till HTML5 becomes standard. Then the world can rid itself of this resource hog and now apprently also a virus.
Adobe Flash did not notify me McAfee Security Scan Plus was being installed untill after it was installed.

I'm another IT guy, and I did NOT get the normal Flash install screen with the McAfee junk checkbox. I've learned long ago to watch for it, especially with Adobe products.
I run a utility on my system that watches the Startup paths in the operating system, and notifies me when something wants to install itself to start automatically. That gives me option to say "no," and keep my system running fast a smooth. Well, Adobe has even worked its way around that kind of protection. Their products now scan for available updates in the background when they are running, then use the system's Shut Down process to put their updater in the "RunOnce" key of the Registry! Then when you reboot, even though you KNOW you didn't authorize any Adobe product to auto-start, up comes their updater. But I digress....
This time I was browsing with Firefox, and a Flash page said my player was out of date. Click the link to update it. The download started immediately, with no option to opt out of anything.
Surprise! McAfee Security Scan Plus pops up so it can do its fake scan and try to get me to buy something. McAfee used to be the flagship anti-virus out there. It was fast, unobtrusive, and just did the job. But McAfee lost sight of it's original purpose, and now, in their attempts to become a one-package security solution, McAfee has become a bloated, sluggish system hog like Norton. And like Adobe. They all deserve to just die.
McAfee has resorted to Adware to make sales, and uses scare tactics to get you to buy. They have obviously partnered with Adobe with a deal to make money for both of them. (Norton, also, has now resorted to scareware sales tactics, BTW.) Why are they doing this? Because Microsoft came out with Security Essentials, which is free. And it provides better protection with far less system load because it integrates with the operating system.
I dropped Adobe Acrobat a long time ago. If there were a good alternative Flash player, I would dump Adobe player in a second. In half a second. This kind of bloatware sales partnership garbage is unacceptable. There are other multimedia formats out there. Maybe the world will wake up one day and stop using Flash altogether.
Oh! And their forum software sucks, too. My screen name isn't supposed to be "BubbaJoeBlow." It's supposed to be "D'Hag," which was registered with my account. But the forum wouldn't let me use it. Great job, Adobe!
