I'd like to know what would be the most compatible Virus protection software that would go with Mozilla Firefox?

I was recently given "as a gift" a new lap top, at least I was told it was new it's a HP 2000 LAP TOP (NOTEBOOK) PC! IT HAS 4 GB RAM, I don't know if you need more info then that right now but I would gladly get it for you if needed.
I recently had a computer crash, I had back up on my most important info, but not ALL info that was filed.
What had happen is somewhat my neglect, the other problem was the "tech" was asking me the most unusual questions, one was I had to find or remember my very first password I started Microsoft with, that was over 5 years ago on my older lap Top. I do have passwords written down for everything that needs one BUT; I didn't have my original password. (I haven't for almost 2 years), I change them just for safety reasons about every 90 days or so. Well As I was trying to use what passwords I had, the "Tech" ("questionable") I did this for approximately 30 minutes before I got fed up and disconnected the connection, which unfortunately, when I tried starting back up I had a blue screen with white writing, that from a past experience meant my computer crashed HOWEVER it did not give me that notice when you crash just said restart your computer. So I did, but after the desktop started showing up with my icons, many of them were missing.
So I thought This be a good time to use software my friend sent called "Roll back" similar to system restore, but with the ability to find and restore files you may have lost. Well I did recover some, however I lost many files, I am totally unable to watch any DVD MOVIES ON ANY type of player right now. My main Question is "What is the best possible Virus scan/ firewall compatible with my version of Firefox 30"???
And could it help me in the future if God Forbid something similar were to haunt me in the future?? I couldn't afford anything over $80 . Thank You BuddyD54

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

I would like to know what data represents the yellow "Other" in the Data Distribution Window on the Summary page of the iPad. It varies between a low of 1.50 GB to as much 5 GB. It seems to me that this is wasted space. Any ideas?

I would like to know what data represents the yellow "Other" in the Data Distribution Window on the Summary page of the iPad. It varies between a low of 1.50 GB to as much 5 GB. It seems to me that this is wasted space. Any ideas?

I have observed my "Other" data increases in size after I deleted a video. My Other data once get to 18GB, yes eighteen.
It seems like the only way to control this mysterious "Other" data is restoring the iPad to its manufacture configuration. Restore it to a previous back up doesn't help either. Once in a while is ok, but several times a month is a pain.
After the last restore (to manufacture), my other immediately jump to 0.4GB and seems to hold at 0.65GB.
Looks more and more like a bug in iOs.

I would like to know what version of the installer is my Windows Server

Hi,
Can you give me what version is this Windows Server Standard R2 1-4cpu 5client
Proof Of License = X12-53780
Is this OEM or Volume License
I want to reinstall this server but I lost my installer CD. I tried to install it somehow but when I keyed in my product ID I cant successfully install it.
Sincerely,
Lyndon

Greetings,
I have basically the same problem.
I have a server with the same COA sticker and part number on it. The server belongs to a client that is a County Court System.
The system drives have crashed. No one seems to have the Server installer discs.I have contacted other MicroSoft departments, trying desperately to get my hands on a disc set.
Everyone has been totally unhelpful, telling me that support has ended, or they cannot get disc because they do not have any, etc. etc.
This is all very ridiculous to me, because I am positive that MicroSoft certainly has ISOs of this set somewhere.
I have tried other versions of this Server Software disc sets, but they will not accept the key on the COA sticker, which of course leads me to believe that they are not the disc versions that I need.
Is there any chance that you could help us with this? This is an urgent matter, and it involves court records.
Thank you for your time and attention,

What is apple's Virus protection software?

What is the virus protection software that Apple uses?? Do I need to get virus software?? What is a good program to use if I do need to get virus protection?
Thanks,
Thomas8902

OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
Gatekeeper and OS X's file quarantine features are described in the following:
OS X About Gatekeeper
About file quarantine in OS X
What is a good program to use if I do need to get virus protection?
You should first explain your reasons for perceiving such a need. Everyone's needs are different, but I have not found justification for such a need, ever, despite having many Macs for many years in many locations, some of which are connected and running 24/7/365 using nothing other than what Apple has included for the past several OS X versions.
Most commercial programs claiming to "protect" or "clean" your Mac are essentially malware themselves. The most popular examples account for the vast majority of Mac problems reported on this site. The perception of need for "virus protection" is all too often based on rumor, scare tactics, uninformed and barely literate bloggers, popular "news" outlets, phony "top ten" review sites, and so on. They capitalize on the vulnerability of millions of former PC users inured to the need for "virus protection". It's a virtually limitless market, and a highly successful one.
What users really need, but all too often neglect, is a backup strategy appropriate for the work they do. OS X already includes automatic backup software. It's free, tightly integrated with OS X, and works well. All you have to do is use it. It's heartbreaking to inform a user who neglects that need but trashes a Mac containing their music library, or decades worth of family photos, or other irreplaceable documents and files - by installing garbage software that they're simply out of luck, but it happens with disturbing regularity.
Educate yourself, then, decide for yourself.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

I had an in-game purchase that failed to give me my items purchased, this is usually an easy fix, but this one was through EA, I would like to know what steps I can take to rectify this. (I realize that NOT playing EA games is the best answer...)

Do you have any clue? Have several issues on a new MacBookPro but it's propably "PEBKAC" made..
Uffe

It is Command+r or for the online internet system it is Command+option/Alt+r keys. Then you use Disk Utility to erase the macintosh partition, from the built in recovery hd, or you can repartition the drive as one partition from the online system.
To actually get to the online internet system you have to hold that key combo down until you see a globe on the screen. Otherwise it will just boot from the built in recovery hd on the internal drive.

Yeah, and it didn't work.
I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.
