IPS Signatures - Where do they come from and how are they enforced?

Ok i have heard different stories on this. At first I heard Trend makes these and is the reason for the licensing in the past few years. Another internal source tells me that cisco has a signature creation group/committee internally that creates these. Whats the skinny? Also, when a know vulnerability is seen out on the internet and a CVE is associated with it, what is the delta in time before this "internal committee" decides to create them as a cisco sig? Can anyone indicate the policy cisco goes through on the decisions and how long this usually takes? Lastly, Cisco sends new sigs all the time, weekly nowadays. In those new sig sets are retired sigs. Why have retired sigs sent in a new sig set ? or are these sigs stricly retiring the old sigs already in the system ? How does cisco decide to retire a sig, what process dloes it go through?
Ok there is a lot there but we have alot of students who ask and it may benefit a high nunber of cisco customers.....
Thanks
Jim

For this box, I would recommend that you ask your question in the netpro forums. These forums don't cover that box.

Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

When I click the Sections button then click on the 1st page I get a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it. I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back.

Roger,
The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

Mail has created a calendar called "Time Profile" that cannot be deleted. Where has it come from and how do I get rid of it?

I am an IT guy in a Windows environment. We have one user who has brought his MacBook pro and added his Office 365 account to the native Mail app in OSx. The calendar now shows an additional calendar called Time Profile. It seems to serve no purpose, it cannot be deleted and the user is getting repeated pop-ups mentioning 'Caldav error 403'. Any ideas how to remedy this? Thanks in advance.

I have just recently noticed this as well. I have been running one email account on O365 for over a year and until the past couple of days have never noticed it. I now have my iCal pointed at 3 O365 accounts and there is a "Time Profile" calendar for each of them.
They really do not bother me, however, I would very much like to know what the are for.

Where did the "Archive" mailbox come from and how do I ditch it

Converting a Mac from SL to Mav and something new popped up. In the list of mailboxes below trash is one labled Archive. What is it? Where did it come from and how do I ditch it? It is empty.

If you are using Gmail, it is the All Mail label that has always existed, but Snow Leopard didn't show it.
You can disable it in Gmail's settings under Labels. Set it to not show in IMAP.
Some people experience problems when doing that, though. I did not.
I set up my Gmail as shown in this blog post: http://jeffschuette.com/2012/03/07/setting-up-apple-mail-to-rock-and-roll-with-g mail/
I didn't want Gmail storing emails that I had deleted, so I used his setup to stop it, and I also hid the All Mail folder from Mail.

Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

Where did the iPhoto 10 iCloud Photostream come from and how do I get rid of it?

I just updated my MacBook Air to mavericks. I have an iPad and iphone as well just updated to ios7. My Mac updated iPhoto as well. Now when I opened iPhoto I got my flickr and Facebook integrated folders in the left pane plus an iCloud photostream.
I didn't have that before and it has 287 pictures pulled from many devices but I didn't set that up. I only had/have a private photostream with a particular name and about 10 pics in it. this new one is just called iCloud photostream and it has 287 pics of which some I know I took with my iPad and others with my iphone. I of course sync both devices with my Mac so this pics are in my iPhoto library as well.

In the iPhoto preferences turn PhotoStream off

The screenshot is from IE - a browser. How is that related to Thunderbird?

Where Did Skippidity (sp?) come from and how did it get there?

When I fired up Firefox this morning, I got a toolbar named Skipity (I think that's the spelling). I went into tools, found it, and removed it, but that isn't the point; I want to know where it came from and who authorized its installation. it popped up after the latest update and looks like it came from the download Youtube videos app I've had for a few months. It was nothing I would have installed, it just popped up on its own without asking permission.
I don't like most extra toolbars and would prefer a button that would pop up a toolbar when I wanted or needed it.
Is there another video download utility I can use that isn't so intrusive?
Tom...

I have immediately removed the Download Youtube video extension. Hope that is the end of Skipity. Now I can restart with other add-ons like Ad-block.

I have music on my phone that is not in iTunes and I did not download to my phone. How did it get there and how do I get rid of it?

Where did second streaming photos come from and how do I get rid of it?

I used to take pictures and videos that later could've been found under photos app. Now there are two choices in the photo app. One I think says streaming. I cannot delete anything there and the are even pictures of my home page. It's useless to me, so how do I get rid of it and only have one place to view the pictures and videos taken? Thanks!

If you what to keep your pics in the photo app, just turn off photo stream.
Settings - icloud - photo stream - off.

Where did this "google suggestion" thing in my toolbar come from and how delete it?

adobe flash is constantly asking to update, and even if i uncheck the boxes where
it requests to set google chrome as default browser and to add google toolbar,
the update still always installs google crap, anyways.
i never had that google suggestion thing appear in my address bar before when
i was trying to type an address, and even after i clicked to disable it, my address
bar still doesn't show my history the way it did, before. why does flash wreck
by browser every time it updates whether i give it permission to install this
google crap or not? are the updates just excuses to wreck my browser?

other than going into my history i'm not sure how to look up the address.
the flash installer sent me there.
i have 3 links in my history folder from today
Adobe - Install a different version of Adobe Flash Player
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_14_for_Internet_Explor er&os=Windows 7&browser_type=MSIE&browser_dist=OEM&dualoffer=true&chromedefault=false&type=au&browser_v ers=11&d=Google_Toolbar_7.5&d=Google_Chrome_35.0_IE_Browser
again, i specifically unchecked the boxes that asked permission to install the google toolbar
and set google chrome as default browser. after just about every update, i have to go back
and uninstall malware and reset my browser settings to the way they were, no watter how
i check the google boxes before the updates
for some reason, this box changes the links to display as link titles

Where did the little "flashing pumpkin" on the bottom toolbar come from and how can I get rid of it?

On the bottom toolbar, right hand side, next to my incredimail icon, recently appeared a little "flashing pumpkin". I have not clicked on it because I don't know where it came from or why it is there and do not want to risk getting a virus. When you hover over it with the mouse, it says "Happy Halloween" in the dialog box that appears above it. If you right click on it, the only options are "Open Message" or "Leave it"?

Where did this Spam folder come from and how to I "un-spam" emails?

Hello
I have my email account setup on my iPhone via POP. There is no spam folder on my email server.
Yesterday I noticed hundreds of emails in a spam folder in the folder list on my iPhone. When I log into my webmail this folder is no there, therefore I am thinking the iPhone has created it.
Firstly, how do I stop it from doing this?
Secondly, emails in there are from people who have successfully emailed me in the past without getting filtered into spam so how do I un-spam emails?
Is this spam a new iOS4 feature?
Ultimately I can resetup my email as IMAP but that will delete all the emails in this folder and I don't want to do that (so I suppose I'm going to have to manually move them all right?)
Many thanks for your help
Ken
