Getting security exception dialogue box. How do I know this is valid to allow an exception? Especially with the SSL bug out there?

Worried about Heartbleed bug. Getting "Add Security Exception" when sending e-mail. How can I verify this change is accurate?

Normally Firefox talks directly to the mail server, but there are a few reasons that an intermediate program or server might intercept your mail session. Not all of these are good reasons.
Some security suites include a filtering feature. In order to filter secure connections (HTTPS URLs), the security software presents a fake certificate to Firefox so it can intercept and stand in the middle of the secure connection. To have Firefox trust these certificates, you may need to do something such as import a root certificate, or click something in your security software's settings.
But... many users are finding that rogue software they didn't realize they had installed is the culprit.
When you are offered the option to add a security exception, does Thunderbird let you view the problem certificate? For example, in Firefox, you can click the Add Exception button in the error page, then in the dialog click View Certificate or Get Certificate to see the Issued by section. You do not need to finish adding an exception.
We want to get to the "Issued by" section of the certificate, as this often points to the source of the problem.
The kind of issuer you might find is:
* Name associated with your security software, such as ESET, BitDefender, etc.
* Sendori (indicates unwanted software from Sendori)
* FiddlerRoot (indicates unwanted software named similarly to BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard)
* Something else
What do you see?

    Tyring to sign in to iTunes store viz windows XP...I get to entering my ID and PWD and then the message pops up "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store...please review acct. info."  HELP!  I have cleared DNS, checked proper date & time and deleted SC folder from programs like support suggested--all to no avail.

    The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store. 
    Try here >  Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
    received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
    Correct.
    It's clearly not a cookie issue..
    As for cookies. Quit the App Store. Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder.
    Type this exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go the move the   com.apple.appstore.plist   file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store.

  • How to get Open/Save Dialogue box

    Hi,
    I need to get open/save dialogue box while downloading a file (from JSP).
    One way which I am currently using is on click of the button pass control to servlet and in servlet using the following code:
    /**.....Some Code */
    response.setContentType("application/csv");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
    /**.....Some Code */But I am wondering is there any way I can do the same without passing the control to Servlet? On clicking the button in JSP, is there is any possibilty to get the Open/Save dialogue box directly.
    Thanks
    Arun

    without passing the control to Servlet?Why?
    In HTTP you can send the response only once.The application where i have this requirement is an old one. In the application, I have there are some screens, whose control never goes to Servlet.
    TO be more precise, 2 pages one HTML and another JSP. And the file to be downloaded is created when JSP is called from HTML page. And there is no interaction with Servlet. The JSP inturn calls a method in Java file (which is not a Servlet) and gets all the details including the file to be downloaded.
    I have used window.open() to download the file(in JSP) in order to have Open/Save dialogue box.
    But the approach is working fine in Windows XP systems but not in Windows2000. In Win00 machines it is directly opening the file in popup without giving the user any option for Open/Save.
    Please let me know your suggestion on this.
    Thanks

  • I get a repeated dialogue box saying that "Account expired, Renew prescription now to resume service," but nothing as to where this is coming from!

    Every few days I get a small dialogue box saying "Account expired...Renew subscription now to resume service" and there is a Renew Subscription button. There is NOTHING noting what the account is or even the 3 buttons at the top left (Delete, Minimize or Expand). They come up and collect every 3 or 4 days and I have to move them off to the side. The only way to make them disappear altogether is to restart the computer.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    You may also have malware, check with all programs.

  • When password security-setting dialogue box is opened, the bottom can't be seen or moved

    Using Acrobat XI Pro on my Dell PC, I was trying to add password protection to the document.  When I click on the "encrypt with password" button, the password security-setting dialogue box pops up, and I can enter the password.  However, the bottom of the page is not visible and I can't move it to click the "ok" button.  Any suggestions?

    Which Acrobat XI Pro are you using? I think you experience the same problem that was reported on this forum in the past. I believe this problem was fixed in one of the recent versions (11.0.07??). Upgrade to the latest version and the problem should go away.

    What does the PopUp "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" really mean and if I check the Box, how do I undo this if this was the Wrong Thing To Do?
    Details
    Constantly, while using Firefox (Beta v 11.0), and/or ESPECIALLY, when I have my eMail @ Mail.com open, I get this PopUp stating: "For security reasons, restarting mail.com Mail is possible only via the mail.com Mail Service. Please close this window and restart mail.com Mail" BUT Then there is a CHECKBOX: "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs."
    I have no idea if Checking this Box is a Good Idea or if it will Screw-Up my mail.com Mail Service...
    Anyone have an answer or explanation of the Use of this Little Check-Box?

    You do not get any pop-up windows on that website if you tick that box.
    That setting is stored in the cache and you should see pop-ups again if you reload the page and bypass the cache.
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • HT1212 im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this

    im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. All of my notifications are there but i cant reply to any of them. My screen is completly unresponsive. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    You may have  moved or removed content on your page or  its possible you  used the"Adjust Image" and over sharpeed one or more images.
    I assume  you mean it does not show up of new Chapter pages... have you checked the  template?
    Where you see the  ?    you  need to either reduce teh  box outline size - or drop anther  copy of the original image onto  it, it may  fill the  ? box or sit on top.... delete the ? box.
    If its Chapter page only related, its  better doing this in the template.
    Is you image .jpg or .png?

    You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.

    I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus.  I've reinstalled twice and it will work for a little while and then get stuck again.  When I select something, I have one shot at it and as soon as I let go of the mouse it switches to minus and I can't add anything else.  How do I fix this?

    When a tool misbehaves, go over to the far upper right corner of the tool options area and click the four-lined square. Choose Reset Tool from the popout menu.
