Security, firewall, malware protection, and cookie cleaner
HHow do I turn on the firewall, is there malware on the iPad mini, and is there a cookie cleaner?
To expand a bit on the previous post. As long as you do not jailbreak your iPad (hack it to remove some of the safety protocols Apple has put in place) and only download apps from the App Store, your chances of getting any type of malware on your iOS device are incredibly small. As the previous poster suggested, put a passcode on your device and don't allow anyone you wouldn't trust with your wallet unsupervised access to it.

I have cleared cookies and cache, scanned with Panda and still can't load my banking website. I can load the website with any other browser I've tried with no problems.
This is with Firefox in safe mode and in regular mode.It sounds as though you have worked through this article: [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]].
Do you notice any difference between secure sites and non-secure sites in what error message you get?
Do you use any kind of content filtering or parental control software? -
Exactly as it says above. The computer was given to me as a gift, and the person who gave it to me had already bought photoshop and put it on for me. Photoshop was working perfectly before AVG did the computer scan, and now every time i try to use it a window comes up instead that says "A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and re-launch the product. If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen. Error: 213:11"
Apparently it "cleaned" away needed files.
Most likely you will have to reinstall Photoshop to get all the files back. -
Virus Protection and Firewall Question
I just switched from a PC to a Mac. Should I download virus protection and if so which one is best for a Mac? Also, I believe my computer came with the firewall turned off... should I turn that on?
Should I download virus protection...
No. The OS has built-in recognition of known Mac malware in files downloaded from the Internet. All commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac are worse than useless. Do not install any of them.
...and if so which one is best for a Mac?
Your mind. All Mac malware takes the form of trojans, which depend on the victim's ignorance to be installed. Don't be ignorant.
Also, I believe my computer came with the firewall turned off... should I turn that on?
Not unless you are on an untrusted network, such as a public hotspot, and have services enabled in the Sharing preference pane. Under any other circumstances, the firewall should be left off. -

I am using my iPhone 4s personal hotspot as the internet router for my notebook. However, I am gtting the WEB SITE IS BLOCKED BY NETGEAR FIREWALL. I've deleted some other wifi connections I had before, had system restores, clear caches and cookie. Still, I failed. Whenever I tried to access FACEBOOK, it's still blocked so I still had to use https:// or tl-gp. please help asap.
Well, aren't you all that and a bag of chips!!!!
Oh what a relief! What a RELIEF!
That just cleaned up my life. And Cranky Boy is actually smiling!!!

P.P.S. Airport Utility shows Cranky Boy's iPad as the Airport Express' Wireless Client!!! Who knew?
Thank you so much, m'Lord. I am in your debt. What would you have me do?

What kind of virus and malware protection do I need for my new iMac?
I am new to Apple computers, what virus or malware protection do I need?
Agreed, please read Thomas's guide!
As a general rule of thumb though, no additional software is needed for malware or virus protection. Apple computers are incredibly secure, the best protection is running Software Update often and not downloading from illegal software from torrent sites. Other than that, OS X is incredibly secure and best left alone to run well. -
My Safari Preferences/Security screen has changed and no longer addresses cookies. Rather, there is a new Preferences/Privacy screen that allows you to manipulate cookies, but it is not as easy to use as when cookies were on the security screen. Was this an update? Has this change affected anyone else? This is strange, because Safari Help still states cookies are manipulated on the Security screen, even though the screen has changed and no longer addresses cookies.
Presuming you're referring to Safari 5.1, yes, it's moved, but I don't see it as being harder. Now you can clear all privacy-related items - cookies, cache and history - with one button, the "Remove All Website Data" button. If you want to work with individual cookies, it's still just one button, the "Details" button. So no, I don't see it as being more difficult.

I can't get tabs to open or google search to operate without constant ringo and I get the alert...The operation can not be completed because of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly. I have 8.0 firefox version

I can go to every other website except for facebook. I try every other browser in my computer but the only thing I can see is HTTP 500 error and 404 Not Found. I tried clearing cache history and cookies, enabling cookies, checking my modem, make sure my firewall permits me to access this web and even pt 's' in front of 'http' but it still dosent work. I can go to facebook with my dad's laptop and my handphone but not with this computer, why?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.facebook.comProblem Resolved!
I found out that I had 'http' instead of 'httpd' in the statement where I
registered my servlet, SqlServlet.
Now, I am having difficulty with hot deployment. The server is returning
error 404.

I am using Numbers on my IPad 2 and I cant find any security option to protect spreadsheets. It seems any spreadsheet you have remains open and therefore anyone can read the content. I am assuming there must be some way of giving some protection?
Help??There is no password protect feature for Numbers on iPad.

How can i get matte screen protected and cleaned ???
I know that glossy MBP has a piece of glass covered on the screen, and it's easy to clean it by using some soft material. However, for matte screen. how can I protect screen and clean it. Like at the edge of screen, if dust in it, I won't be able to clean it. Any ideas?
Trade it in for a glossy? Hee hee.
I use canned air to clean my screen sometimes, because most of what I have is dust on the display. Rarely do I get fingerprints (believe it or not) on the glossy screen. Saves from any abrasion by wiping it off with a dry cloth (the special kind, for like, cleaning eyeglasses, or one designed for LCD displays-- yes, I know the new MBPs have LED displays).
I used iKlear way back when, and oh, it is atrocious. Left residue on the screen that I couldn't get off with another clean wipe, and then even water wouldn't do it, so I had no choice but to pull out the Windex (not a good substance to be cleaning an LCD display with) to get it all off. So from my personal experience, stay away from the iKlear. Bad stuff.
I recommend canned air (for dust), and the cloth wipes (for grease and fingerprints). Use a damp cloth with water for any stuck on dirt.
ONCE IN AWHILE, it is "okay" to use some type of window cleaner (yes, I know everyone here will throw rocks at me) because water can never get out all that gunk in the long run. Once a month, I use it on those tough spots.
Honestly, with my glossy display, it is easy to clean and keep clean. The previous stuff I mentioned was based on my PowerBooks which were all matte screens, of course. -
Hi,
I have VS2013 update 4 and IE11 installed. When I try to sign in through VS I get the following error.
SP324081: Check that your Internet Explorer security settings will allow JavaScript and cookies. If enabled, please contact support.
I have checked and JAVASCRIPT and cookies are enabled.
Any help is appreciated.Hi Sath12,
If possible, I suggest you reset IE settings.
Please lower the security level. Then I added the site like https://*.visualstudio.com/ to the trusted zones. Test it again.
I have met this issue before which was related to the IE settings or the account issue.

Virus And Malware Protection for my iMac Yosemite 10.10.1
Hi,
My iMac starting opening random websites and I installed a free copy of Avast to take of it but I want to buy the best one. I'm looking for Virus and Malware protection for the lastest Yosemite.
Thanks!You installed adware along with something else you installed.
Download and run Adware Medic.
Avoid purchasing any type of AV software. All such software only slows down Macs (and PCs), and for the most part, are utterly useless. -
Had PC reformatted, and ended up with new Internet provider, Malware etc. By running one of my Malwares, I destroyed all potential Malware Browser (Tracking cookies) . Now I realize that I probably need some of these back.? Is there a way, and how do I know, by the name of the cookie, if it is one I need or tnot. Example, : Zedo, CasaleMedia,FastClick,AdBrite etc. I miss getting my regular Malware bubble info, that something was blocked, etc. Could this be connected to mySpybot destroying it? I apologize for any confusion, I am only a basic user and PC literate person.
If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".
