Recommendations for Internet security package with lion?

Any recommendations fro an Internet security package with lion?

Seems to me you are getting limited replies about Mac OSX security and viruses. Internet security can also be about safe surfing and being warned the safety and suitability of web sites. Also you may be running applications, like Microsoft Office, on your iMac which may have similar weakness and vulnerabilities to the Windows office suite. Although many nastys you may get via macros and e-mail are aimed at messing up Windows, there are others which aim to steal personal information or can be used to infect others when you send files or mail onwards. While I believe Mac OS itself is probably better protected than Windows, I think it may still worth extra protection and warnings about web sites. etc. which you get from Internet Security Packages such as Norton or Mcafee (which is good for the mac).

Help Needed for Internet Security Driving Test!

Hi I came up with a few basic rules for family and friends
that I put together in order to try to prevent them from
continually installing spyware, toolbars, keyloggers and viruses on
their computers (and as a result, to try to prevent them from
continually calling me and asking for my help and advice when they
did this and things went wrong).
To all intents and purposes the rules worked well - for a
while. I set it up as a simple RTF document and I added this to the
start up folder of Windows XP, so that it started every time the PC
started. However, over time some of them simply learned to ignore
the rules and to close the RTF document as soon as it opened
without paying any attention to it at all - and then they went
about their merry business of installing spyware, keyloggers and
viruses etc. just as they had in the past.
So OK, I have to admit I found this deeply frustrating - but
I also realise that this is the same position that many of us geeks
are in in that on the whole, most average everyday computer users
don't have a clue about Internet security.
Now however things have become a lot more serious for me, as
I have been asked by a local charity to administer a total of 60
machines over 2 different sites - and I have also been asked if I
could provide some form of training with regard to basic personal
Internet security.
With this in mind I came up with the idea of an interactive
CDROM, or Flash based Internet security driving test/tutorial that
basically covers all of the scenarios I touch on in my rules.
This tutorial would cover basic things like, if you got an
email from a representative ex President of an African country
offering you a share in millions of dollars of stolen money, or if
you got an email from your bank asking you to verify your security
details and so on, what would you do? Additionally it would cover
such things as the abundance of viruses that infest many of the
porn sites on the net, the way that many games on the Internet that
are listed as being 'free' (particularly those which are in
executable file format) are often just vehicles for more spyware
and viruses also - and about the dangers of chat lines, of spoof
security warnings on web sites and so on.
I have included my list of rules below which should hopefully
give you an idea of what I'm trying to do. Be warned though, the
wording is deliberately harsh and perhaps a little extreme (and as
a result maybe not entirely 100% accurate) but you must realize
that I am, or was trying to give myself the easiest time possible
and the least possible problems. So you may well find things you
disagree with in it - but overall if someone followed these rules,
they probably would be less likely to run into problems than
someone who did not follow them might.
The thing is however that (as I said) I would like to
formalise these rules somewhat in the format of some kind of
interactive tutorial/web security driving test. Unfortunately I
have no experience with flash - and little knowledge of HTML or
anything like that. I also know that the language for these rules
isn't quite right, in that it probably isn't suitable for a formal
office type environment.
I had in mind that the tutorial would show some realtime
examples of some of the things I have been talking about (which I
assume would only be possible in Flash?) or perhaps rather like a
readers digest multiple choice type thing, with screenshots
depicting the various scenarios in question. (Like a screenshot of
a flash animation on a web page saying 'You have won a prize!!!'
What would you do? a) click on the ad, b, ignore it, or c) phone
all of your family and friends informing them of your good fortune
before doing anything.' etc.
So I was wondering, are there any good hearted charitable
souls out there who might be willing to help out to put a tutorial
like this together?
Again I remind you that it really is for a charity
(specifically the Depaul Trust in the UK, which helps young
vulnerable people find secure accommodation, provides educational
opportunities and helps them to find employment). The requirement
would be that all staff and students pass the Internet security
test before being granted Internet access.
I know this might be time consuming - but again all I can do
is appeal to the sense of kindness and helpfulness of this
community and hope that someone who does have some experience in
these maters might be willing to help.
Alternatively could anyone suggest a simple easy to use
software package that would allow a relative n00b like me to put
together a tutorial like this on my own? Or perhaps it is possible
that some free online tutorial like this already exists?
In any case, any help at all would be appreciated.
PS,
Here are the rules I have that I referred to above.

Dennis, when I look at the subject three clips (EI 1250, EI 640, and EI 320, respectively, and in that order) as presented in the camera, I see exactly what I have expected all along -- three different-brightness images that are progressively brighter from the EI 1250 exposure to the EI 320 exposure. So, am mystified why when I open these images (clips), say, in RAW Viewer, wherein I have thought that I would see the same progressive brightness differences allowing me to experiment with reducing brightness to deal with noise reduction, all three of the images present completely alike in brightness.

What model of Mac? I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue. From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs? Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

Paying double each month for Internet Security Suite?

I noticed that we are paying twice each month for Internet Security Suite: once as a billed item ($6.99); and again as part of the Backup and Security Bundle ($11.00). It seems this has been going on since about Aug 2013.
Hence, I dropped the standalone Security Suite. Now, I'd like a a refund for all those overcharges and an explanation as to how (and why) that occurred.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Hi,
it seems to be a JRE Problem. When I use the Kerberos implementation from "Vintela Single Sign-On for Java" I can establish a "aes256" secured LDAP connection to the AD Server.
This LDAP connection allows to change the passwords of the users stored in the AD.
The problem is that "Vintela Single Sign-On for Java" is not free, so it would be nice to have a solution which works with the Kerberos implementation of the JRE.
The error is the same for "aes128" and "aes256" encryption.
And with Wireshark I can not see any differences in the packets send to the AD and received from the AD.

The newest version of firefox is not compatibal with TrendMicrosystms and it has automatically disabled it. What do I do for internet security now?

I upgraded to the new Mozilla and now I am having issues with my internet security Trend Microsystem. I am also having some issues with GMail. I wish to go back to the last version of Firefox as I never had any issues with them and their didn't need to be an upgrade. Thank you!

If you are running one of the Titanium products, try upgrading to the 2014 version. Open the main console, then use the "?" icon in the upper right of the window to open About. Titanium will then check for updates.

Security issues with Lion

Anyone know what the real deal is with OS X Lion security. I've heard lots of things about how the recent Blackhat conference in Las Vegas said that Apple's security was not as good as Windows 7's. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance for any feedback or input.

I've downloaded Java for OS X Lion 2012-001 to fix the security issues with Java but when I open it to install it gives me an error message saying don't open it as it has a disk image issue (?) and may make my computer less secure or cause other issues? I don't understand why it would cause security risks when it is supposed to be a patch to fix them?! Is it safe to go ahead and open/install?
Could that be why Apple has released Java for OS X Lion 2012-002 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1515 ?

Any recommendations for Firefox security add-ons?

I noticed here on the site, that several people recommend using Firefox with the "No Script" add-on.
Does anyone happen to have a good link for downloading a Mac version of this?
Are there maybe any suggestions for other security add-ons worth installing for Firefox / Thunderbird?

Well, then I can't understand why this is happening. Found this for an earlier version.
It's important to understand that whitelisting is slightly limited by domain-obscuring page elements like iframes. When a call is made from an iframe, it's made from the domain in the iframe's source, so Ghostery can't tell that it's coming from the domain you've whitelisted. As a result, it may appear that Ghostery is blocking on a site you've whitelisted, even though it's doing its best to follow your instructions. Any script, ad, widget, or other element that calls directly from the whitelisted domain will go through without a second glance.
BUT, it's supposed to have been "relaxed" in 2.5.2, the version I'm using; i.e. now it's supposed to allow anything from a domain regardless of where it's coming from.
And, yours is showing brightcove as blocked. If so, you shouldn't be getting any video, since that's where it all comes from in the Times.
You said video was loading on the video page, but I wonder are you able to load video on the homepage? It's in a large box "Video" near the middle of the page.
I have an email in to their support.

Does Fios offer a security package with antivirus?

I am having FIOS installed on tuesday. Today my McAfee security suite ceased to run...this is a free internet security suite provided by Comcast.
Does Verizon offer such a security package?
Is it free?
Thanks for help.

Hi barric,
Yes, we offer the Verizon Internet Security Suite, however it is not free. It is $5.99 per month for up to 3 computers.

Internet security package

i just recently moved and canceled verizon for comcast and i uninstalled macafee that was with verizon package. I am getting norton security suite for free but can not download it as it sits up in the left corner but it will not download for some reason. i was on hold for 1 hour with norton bt got no one and comcast was no help eiher. need help!

In addition, not only is it not needed, but it adversely affects system operation and causes more problems.
I don't know why, I can surmise or guess, but don't install any security suites. If you do need to scan emails or something, ClamXav - and I would setup a system anyway for system maintenance to begin with for that and other tasks.
A good safe system backup that you have from earlier, and that stays off line on a shelf, is best medicine - Mac or PC. So make a clone of your system for safety net. Can be restored if needed in less than an hour and back up and running no matter what happens to your system (more likely to be installing an update or security patch and find you need to go back one step sometimes, or the update and your applications are not yet compliant).

Recommendations for wireless security...

We have a small campus and the following equipment:
1 - 4402 WLC
12 - APs
3 Networks (Guest, Student, Staff)
1 ACS server
What would you recommend in regards to a practical, yet effective, security setup. We currently use WEP/MAC filtering for the staff network, the student and guest side are wide open.
I am just looking for some ideas of how you would implement security.

Hi,
I think the below may help!!
GUEST = WEB AUTH internal page
STAFF = PEAP MSCHAP V2 server side certs
STUDENTS = MAC FILETERING with WEP.
Lemme know if this answered ur question!!

How to Create a SQL Agent Job For A SSIS Package with Sql Server Authentication

Hi ALl,
I have a SSIS package which basically has a data flow task in which i pull the data from one server and copy it into another server and my source server is the one where i dont have windows authentication and i have to only use a sql server authentication
. This package runs fine if i click the server connection properties type the password and save it.
Now, my task is to set up a sql agent job which basically uses a proxy account and takes this package from the file system and runs it.But when i try to run this package, its failing with an error saying
"Login Failed For rpt5user" where rpt5user is the username for my sql server authentication of the source connection.
Can someone please help me with any suggestions on how to do this?
I have heard that we can achieve it by using xml config file which i have never used and i am trying to google around but for no luck.
So, If someone can please throw any suggestions or ideas on this it would be great.
Thanks

You need to add password as a config item and set it from the file source or sql table
see this as an example

Office for Mac X compatibility with Lion

Hi guys,
My company is equipped with Office for Mac X (came out in 2002, fairly obsolete I know), and we're trying to know whether we'll be able to use the software on the new OS Lion (until now, we've been able to use it no matter what new OS we have been using)
Any clues?
Thanks

Ask Mircosoft seeing as how they are the ones that produce it?
IMHO the chances are probably slim at best.
I always love companies that are so cheap as to not upgrade their software until forced to do it. Then they whine and moan about the expense and difficulty to do it a decade ot so to late.
