Security scans

how do i perform security scan on macbook pro?
is encryption automatic on first use?

No need to do that > Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - It's built to keep your Mac safe.
Make sure Gatekeeper is setup...
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

I opened the attachment on a malicious email in error on my IPad and have been informed by the genuine company that it will download malware software. Is this possible on my IPad or is there a way of running a security scan to see if it has been infected?

I received an email that I now know to be malicious and inadvertently opened up the attachment on my IPad that I've been informed will download malware or a virus. Can my IPad be infected this way or does anyone know if there is a way of running a security scan to check if there is a problem? I do have the most up to date IOS software installed.

There is no anti-malware for iOS, at least none that actually does anything useful. The odds of getting any malware infection via an email attachment on an iOS device is quite low - practically non-existent. Unless you are seeing any issues, there isn't much to do, other than deleting the email and being more cautious in the future.

How do I run a security scan on my macbook pro?

If you have only Mac OSX running you don't need to run any security scan.
If any major security risk exists Apple offers Security Updates.
Just don't install any applications not needed,
If you run Windows that is a different story.

How to do a security scan on my iPad

i would like to know how to do a security scan just incase I've downloaded a suspicious app or something. Does anyone know how

There is no virus or malware in the wild that can affect an iPad, unless it has
been jailbroken. If that is the case in your situation, Terms of Use for the forum prohibit

Flashing "Running Security Scan..."

On Windows 7, 64-bit, MS Office 2010; when I try to launch an online software that integrates a fillable-form into my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, at the bottom of my IE9 screen, flashing nearly 2 times per second, I see messages that say: "Running Security Scan...". I have to quite IE and force Adobe Acrobat to quit to stop it. How can I fix this so that I can properly run the software? (It works okay on my old slow XP, 32-bit coomputer, Office 2007, but the manufactureres say it is not an Office 2010 problem, nor Windows 7, 64-bit). Also, this happens whether or not my Trend Micro Anti-virus software is running.

That's something local on your computer or browser; not the Adobe download site.

802.1x and Security scanning

Hello,
Is it possible for our security team to security scan all hosts on the network if they are using 802.1x authentication? I am trying to ensure that we can meet security scanning requirements and still use the 802.1x port-based authentication function. If not the other alternative is to use port security for end hosts. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you are using open mode, you could put in a permit rule in the pre-auth acl on the switch port, that allows all traffic going to your scanners ip adress. Traffic from the scanner to the device on the switch port is not restricted normally.

Security Scan found Weak and Medium strength ciphers port 389&636

After a recent security scan on one of our Apple Servers running 10.9.5 (Mavericks) it has reported weak and medium strength ciphers on port 389&636 and also that SSLv2 and SSLv3 is enabled. The Server is running Profile Manager and therefore also Open Directory although we are not really using Open Directory for authentication as we have AD within the organisation.
My question is how can I modify Open Directory to only use HIGH ciphers and not MEDIUM or LOW? I have found the httpd-ssl.conf file but that is only listening on port 443. I have also found the slapd.conf but can't see where I would make the change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

So would you believe it I've managed to get it working. I wanted to see if Yosemite suffered from the same 'issues' that Mavericks does with SSLv2 & SSLv3 support. Also the weak ciphers bsing used. Well they scannex that server and found exactly the same 'issues' as before. So I started working on it this morning editing slapd.conf, slapd.conf.default, slapd_macosxserver.conf and apache-ssl.conf it might sound overkill but I thought what the ****. I added the following lines to all conf files:
SSLProtocol ALL -SSLv2
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!SSLv2:!ADH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!NULL
TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+TLSv1:!SSLv2:+SSLv3
and and it worked. Passed the scan with flying colours however might need to mod SLLv3 to keep theM happy.
I need to replicate this on a Mavericks Server so hope the jist is the same.
thanks for the advice Linc.

My PC fails security scan when downloading Adobe reader

My PC fails security scan when installing Adobe Reader

I have Windows 7. When I try to download anything like a PDF, Adobe reader or any external file, the process includes a security scan. It could be before the download or after it is complete, but at a point before download or before it can be opened, the the message says that it failed or failed the security scan.
I tried to troubleshoot Windows 7 and get as error message: 0x800B010E. It could it be related to the software download problem where I get message other than security failure or it won't load.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise, Version 6.1( Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

Why does Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player keep installing McaFee Security Scan on my system?

Whenever I install the Adobe Flash player or Adobe Reader on my system, it downloads and installs McAfee Security Scan Plus at the same time. It does not ask if I want it or not, it instead forces it on me, so I have to then unistall it. I've unistalled it 3 or 4 times in the last week. I DO NOT WANT MCAFEE PRODUCTS on my computer!
Please make this an option, give the users a choice so we don't have to keep removing the stupid thing.

Did you 'Uncheck" the relevant box pointed by the red arrow ? If not you accepted the installation with McAfee.

What's listening on port 454 and 455 in Azure? Warning flagged by security scan

We are about to go live with an Azure Website and, as a precaution, did a security scan on the IP address that has been allocated to us.
There were a number of low severity warnings listed which we're not too worried about, however the scan did flag that something appears to be listening on port 454 and 455, and supports TLS1.0.
RESULTS:
Available non CBC cipher Server's choice SSL version
RC4-SHA DES-CBC3-SHA TLSv1
Does anyone know what this is? I can't find it obviously listed anywhere. If it's not necessary, can I switch it off? And if it is necessary, can I set it to require a more secure protocol?
We're hosted in the "Australia East" datacentre, in case that's relevant.

Hello Michael,
These ports are used for internal communication in Azure Websites infrastructure. They are not site specific and you cannot turn them off. It is safe to ignore them.
Thanks,

Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed. Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below. While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.

Why won't my security scan allow me to download creative cloud?

Why won't my windows 8 allow my download to pass the security scan?

At a guess (you don't list the error), what maybe happening is that you have booted from the original OS install disc, told it to install the (old) original OS on to the hard disk and it has said - no thanks you cannot install an older version because it already has a newer version installed.
This is 'normal', what you have to do is totally erase the hard disk first. You do this by booting from the original OS install disc, but rather than trying to do an install straight away, you should first use Disk Utility and use that to erase the hard disk. Then you can run the install again and because the hard disk will be empty it will not have a newer OS on it and the installer will be happy.
Obviously this means any files you have on the hard disk will be erase as well. If you want to keep them you are going to need to back them up first, the easiest way would be to use Time Machine to backup to an external hard disk.

Simple question re McAfee Security Scan Plus?

Hi - newbie here!
Just been asked to download latest Adobe Reader - no problem all went well as expected. However, I notice that it also installed "McAfee Security Scan Plus" automatically.
Will there be possible "contention" with my already installed Kaspersky security?
Cheers
Stuart

http://get.adobe.com/reader/ Just went back there and this time I noticed the McAfee inclusion checkbox, ALREADY CHECKED, and just as good as HIDDEN far enough away to the top right of the download button to be out of range of the fovea. I think it is fair to assume that Adobe has some expertise at user interface design, in which case such positioning indicates Adobe's INTENTION for the user to miss this detail.

How do I run a system security scan on an iPad or iMac?

How do I run a system security scan for things like malware that i could have got from Facebook on an iPad or iMac?

iPads and Macs are very different.
For Macs there are many security suites and virus scanners out there you can use. A Google search should point some out.
iPads at this time cannot get infected by malware or viruses. There is just nothing out there currently that can infect them. As such there is no way to scan them for anything and its not really necessary.

Adobe Flash player now demands installation of McAfee Security Scan, is there an alternative to Adobe Flash player?

I do not want ant McAfee products installed on my system but now it seems that Adobe Flash player goes hand in hand with McAfee Security Scan, you can't have one without the other. What on earth are Adobe up to and are there any other options? Thank you.

You can download without mcaffe, jus uncheck the '''Optional offer'''

Getting rid of McAfee Security Scan

This unwanted product was downloaded with latest version of Flash Player (3.8.141). The McAfee download does not included uninstall.exe, so I cannot uninstall it. I have already wasted hours on this. Will you please send me an uninstall.exe. Don't tell me to uninstall using the Windows 7 Contriol Panel - McAfee Security Scan is not even listed there!

They at least need the check box to give the option to install or not install. I want Flash Player not a bunch of garbage attached to it.
