Updating Forefront hotfixes and virus definitions

Experts,
We have Microsoft forefront and our security engineer informed that we use SCCM to update virus definitions and WSUS to update application version.
We want to use Intune for this machines, which cannot co exist with SCCM agent on machines.
Is there any way to update virus definitions (possibly automatic) on clients so that we do not need SCCM agents on these machines anymore???
Thanks a lot!!!!

Hi,
You could edit the Definition Updates Source configuration which by default points to the Configuration Manager. For the standalone scenario you could enable Microsoft Update and Microsoft Malware Protection Center only. If your clients do not have direct
connectivity to the internet the use of a UNC share could also be an alternative, but then requires that you periodically update the share with latest definition updates packages.

Rescue & Recovery 4 and Updated Virus Definitions

Hello:
I have a T61 with Rescue and Recovery 4 on it. It does not have Symantec Antivirus installed on the system drive. We use a different AV.
I press the Blue button on start up and it takes me to Rescue and Recover 4 and there is a button that reads "Virus Scanner" and I click it and get a window titled "Symantec Virus Scanner" and it provides two options. 1 - Use virus definitions from this CD or 2 - Use updated definitions from the update folder. Option 2 lets me enter a path to an update folder or browse to it. In the narrative it says I can burn the updated definitions to a CD and use that as the source. It says to get the updated definitions from another PC.
My question is where can I get the definitions if I do not have another PC with Symantec on it. It does not give an option to download them and I can not find a link on Lenovo's site and tech support was not even aware that this was an option in Rescue and Recovery and gave me no help. (2 different calls and 2 different reps.)
Thanks.

Can anyone (please) tell me which version of the signature files the Rescue & Recover partition needs?
It looks like there are three posibilities:
1) v5i32
2) i32
3) x86
Update: Well I figured it was either the v5 or the i32, and downloaded both, but can't get the embedded ZIP files to extract. The syntax is supposed to be update_name.exe /extract <filename> <target path>
From what I can tell the file to extract is VIRSCAN.zip but the extract fails................
Thanks!

Virex 7.2. no eupdate icon and how do I update the virus definitions

I don't see an "Eupdate" icon on my virex 7.2. Is this common or uncommon.
Also, I believe I read where mac was no longer going to provide the virus definition updates for Virex. If this is so, how do I update these difinitions for Virex 7.2 on my computer?

Would this explain why my virus software (Virex 7.2) is telling me that my "virus definitions are out of date and should be updated" but when I try to update nothing happens? If so, then how do I keep my virus protection up to date?

Why does updating virus definitions on microsoft security essentials make my macbook go to sleep and hard to wake it up from its sleep state?

Why does updating virus definitions on microsoft security essentials make my macbook go to sleep and hard to wake it up from its sleep state? does this happen to anyone else? its really bugging me.

Just you probably, having used it for years since its beta days.
don't run more than one malware suite/programs. it is possible to use some as long as they aren't running.
I'd look elsewhere for why.

SCEP client "virus and spyware definitions created 2 days ago"

Hi,
I sometime see on the "virus and spyware definitions created 2 days ago" and some times some days longer. If I look some days later the client is up to date. I have configure an ADR to get definitions 3 times per day, and also update the DP after
SUP schedule.
What make the client to not have the latest definitions?

Hi,
Please verify if there is any temperary conncection issue between client and server. We may get some clue in windowsupdate.log.
According to your description, I think the issue just occur occasionally. Review the log and notice the timestamp scheduled for installation.

Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
Can I fix this problem?

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

Junk and Virus database not updating.

I have 10.4.11 installed and am running mail. In the filters tab I have the box checked to:
Update the Junk mail and virus database [1] time(s) every day.

The server has been up for several days and has not updated the database.
how can I get the database to update?
Thanks

Aimee-
Until you 'commit' from the session you have issued the 'delete' statement, the other sessions will not be able to see the changes. In other words, the other sessions are getting you a read consistent view of the data.

Hotfixes and other updates

I administer several Cold Fusion servers, most are at 8.0.1.
A developer pointed me to a fix for a problem she was experiencing.
That page is at
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb403411
The title is "Patch for CFImage and Image functions in ColdFusion
8.0.1". The text repeatedly refers to this patch as a "hotfix", and
the procedure to apply the patch is the same as for a hotfix. yet
the patch is not listed or mentioned anywhere on the Cold Fusion
updates page, at
http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads_updates.html
Why is this hotfix not listed on the COld Fusion updates
page?
Most importantly, how can I stay on top of hotfixes, patches,
etc.? Going to the updates website isn't a good plan, especially if
all the updates are not listed.
Thanks!

I feel your pain. I have often been confused by ColdFusion
patching and
updates.
As best as I can understand the process. Individual or small
groups of
related fixes are first released as a hot fix. These are
listed on the
page I linked for CF8. There are related pages for each
version.
Periodically all released hot fixes are packaged up into a
Cumulative
Hot Fix which is listed on the page you where looking at.
It has always been my understanding to the recommendation is
to only
install hot fixes if one is experiencing the problem
addressed by the
hot fixe.
If they every do an actual Update this is also listed on that
page, but
this is a major fix and results in a different version number
for the
product. And becomes what is downloaded into the future.
I am not finding the link at the moment, but in a previous
job I would
receive e-mail notices when hot fixes, cumulative hot fixes
and updates
where released.

Firefox updated and restarted my computer without asking. Updater.exe is a virus or a mozilla program?

This morning I started my computer and firefox like normal. When I started firefox is said it was updating even though it didn't ask to update, which is normal for firefox. Then it restarted my entire computer. I haven't been to any strange websites lately and I have Norton, AVG and something else. This SAID it was Firefox, but it sounds like updater.exe is somehow a virus. Does Firefox ever update without asking and then reboot your computer without asking?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== this morning

What I'd like to know is--why is firefox running updater.exe when I took the time to uncheck all of the boxes for updates? I prefer to decide when or if an update is necessary, and it's irritating to have Vista constantly alert me to firefox trying to sneak in an update. Mozilla busted by Vista...what's the world coming to?

Verifying the Correct Signature Updates, Management Software, and Version

I am working today at a Client Site where I installed several months ago a Cisco IPS 4240 Sensor. The Sensor is currently running Version 6.0(3)E1.
I am not certain how to proceed with respect to signature updates on this box.
Under signature definition, it lists the following:
Signature Update S291.0 2007-06-18
I have noticed on the Security Software Page for IPS that the latest Signature File is S336. Should I install this on the IPS? In order to perform this, will it take down the IPS unit?
Also, there are several Management applications listed under the "Network IPS/IDS Management/Monitoring Software" heading, including: IME, IPC MC, and ICS. I am already using IDM as well as IEV respectively to Configure/ Monitor and then IEV to Alarm on certain Events. What are IME, IPC MC, and ICS and how are they different from IDM and IEV??

IME = Intrusion Prevention Manager Express
- IME is fairly new (released only a month or 2 ago) IME is a next generation of IEV. It does the event monitoring of IEV, but is also able to do configuration similar to IDM. So it is IEV and IDM in one tool. The configuration screens of IME will only work IPS 6.1, but the event monitoring screens will work with 5.1, 6.0, and 6.1.
IPS MC = Intrusion Prevention System Management Center
IPS MC was a part of VMS (VPN and Security Management System). IPS MC was configuration of a large number of sensors.
IPS MC and VMS are both End Of Saled and were replaced with CSM
CSM = Cisco Security Manager
CSM is a multi-security device configuration management system. It is targeted at Enterprise customers with more than 5 sensors.
ICS = Intrusion Containment System
ICS was a product produced by Trend Micro Systems. Trend could create signatures for Viruses and Worms and then send an update to ICS and ICS would then create the signatures on the sensors. These signatures were known as the V signatures.
ICS has been End of Saled
So from your perspective you need not be concerned with IPS MC (VMS) or ICS.
IME should be of interest to you as an upgrade from IEV (IME like IEV is available as part of your existing sensor support contracts and is not an additional charge).
As you upgrade sensors to IPS v6.1 you might consider upgrading IEV to IME.
CSM (and also MARS) would be of interest if you are going to manage more than 5 sensors. (IME and IEV are limited to 5 sensors).

By the time you read this, a new Definition Update is already available, and this issue should no longer be relevant. However, the simple fix is this: DECLINE the annoying update and wait for the next Definition Update to be published.

Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.169.2328.0) will not install.

I've been going around in circles for hours now trying to figure this out, but I now officially give up. I have no idea how to fix this. So I came here before I chuck my laptop across the room.
Whenever I try to install the definition update, it fails and says "error found. Code 80070002 windows update encountered an unknown error". I've tried to fix it using the
Windows Update troubleshooter, but it can't fix it. Also, tried to follow some manual fixes, but none of what they say to do exists on my computer (like files and such). Help!
I have a Sony Vaio, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition.
I also installed the System Update Readiness Tool as a last ditch effort to see if it would fix it. It didn't.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I aggree with Hetti.
In Windows 7, Windows defender only removes spyware, but to protect yourself from viruses, you still need to download antivirus software, such as Avast Antivirus.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytipstalk/archive/2014/01/16/do-i-need-anything-besides-windows-defender.aspx
To install the update for Windows Defender, i recommand you to fully exit Avast and manually install the update.

May Release: New partner support, Infrastructure updates, Site templates and bug fixes

Link: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/post/May-release-New-partner-support-Infrast ructure-updates-Site-templates-and_bug-fixes/
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Thursday, May 3rd. With this release, we are continuing our investments in system performance and stability by increasing our web servers capacity, enabling HTTP acceleration to provide faster site loading times, and improving the site creation speed by using pre-generated sites.
On the product side, we have completely revamped our partner support workflow taking advantage of the Adobe support infrastructure and tools, enhanced the site templates workflow for partners, and included lots of bug fixes and improvements. Read through the following sections to get detailed information about this release:
Partner support
Infrastructure updates
Features and enhancements
Issues fixed by this release
What's next
You can jump to the corresponding section by clicking the above links.
Partner support
Updated Help & Support partner experience
Following Adobe ID support, we have upgraded BC support tools (cases, chat, documentation) with standard Adobe tools. As a partner, you can now benefit from the same support tools as the rest of Adobe Creative Suite, and can track your support cases with Adobe BC, Dreamweaver, Muse or Photoshop in a single place.
Partners with more than 100 paid sites will get 2nd level chat support, which includes a higher priority, by default. If you have more than 100 paid sites, but spread across different Partner Portals, please ask support to enable 2nd level chat for you.
Support experience for your Small Business owner clients can now be owned by partners (see below).
Custom Help & Support URL for your clients
As a partner, you are probably already offering various additional services to your clients besides building & maintaining their BC site. Support, tailored specifically to your client needs, is usually one of these value-added services. We are now enabling you to take your Support service to the next level. In Partner Portal Settings, you have the option to set a custom URL for what will open when your client clicks on Help & Support inside Admin Console:
If you have multiple partner accounts, for different verticals, you can specify a Support URL for each of these.
The default Support experience provided by BC for your clients will be updated in a few releases to be similar to the partner support experience. This includes BC-branded support cases and documentation. If you'd like to keep a white-label experience for your customers, please set your own Help & Support URL in Partner Portal.
For more details please read the Improved support workflow and new forums announcement on our blog.
Infrastructure updates
Between our April release and the following infrastructure updates have been enabled
Limited trial sites for free partners – starting with our May release, the number of trial sites a Free Partner can have will be limited to 100. Once the limit is reached, Free Partners that need to create a new trial site have the options to upgrade to a higher partner plan, upgrade some of the trial sites to paid or delete unused/expired trials.
Automatic trial expiry extension - with this release, trial site expiry date will be automatically extended with 30 days every time an admin user logs in the system through the admin interface or through FTP.
Installed additional hardware - we have installed additional web servers on all our data centers, that translate into an increase of the existing capacity with over 70%.
Updated DNS infrastructure - we have improved the DNS resolution for email delivery so that we can increase the rate at which we're sending the system operational emails
HTTP acceleration – all sites static assets are served from a new cache engine (images, CSS and JavaScript files, together with improved headers that should allow the browser to cache them better for a browsing session). This update has been turned on along with our April release, and has made all the BC sites load faster on first and on subsequent loads.
Accelerated site/partner creation – we've changed the way new sites are created for faster speed, pre-creating them and reusing pre-created sites when needed, and have also improved the creation process for new partners, minimizing the impact of new CCM customers on the existing datacenters.
Adobe ID for partners - in order to support an integrating experience between the various Adobe tools a partner may use (Dreamweaver, Muse, Support forums) we have added Adobe ID support for Business Catalyst partner accounts. Starting April 19, partners are asked to merge their current Business Catalyst account with their Adobe ID accounts. For more details about the transition process and FAQ please read the Introducing Adobe ID blog post.
Updated Terms of Use - Along with several other changes in our processes in the past few months, we also revamped our Terms of Use and the signature process by requesting every admin user to sign a TOU. We have completed the rollout for partners, and we might be pushing an updated partner Terms of Use version within the following weeks. For more details and questions about this change, read the New Terms of Use for Business Catalyst blog post.
Features and enhancements
Site templates
To support the increasing number of partners building, sharing or reusing templates to create new sites, we're extending our site templates support from our partner portal with a new template type and improved management support. The update is going to enable partners to mark sites as templates and choose between making them available in Online Business Builder and keeping them private in their partner portal. A template site will not expire and has the same limits as any other trial site.
Based on your partner level, you can create private or public templates using the Site Details screen or the Tools>My Site Template section from your Partner Portal. Standard partners can only create private templates, while Free Partners can only view site templates that have been transferred to their accounts by other partners.
The number of templates a partner will have will be limited and will vary based on partner level: free partners can store up to 5 templates in their partner portal, standard partners have up to 100 site templates while Premium Partners might have up to 200 templates. Paid sites marked as templates are not counted against these limits.
Business Catalyst Partner fixes
While we are really focused on making the Business Catalyst integration into Creative Cloud a smashing success, we are slowly resuming our efforts to deliver fixes that have been requested by our partners. This release includes the following partner fixes:
Improved product custom fields - we have increased the maximum number of characters for product custom fields to 1024 (previous limit was 256); this gives partners and customers additional space to use when working with products
Improved Secure Zone subscribers list - we have added the customer email address in the Secure Zone Subscribers list to enable partners better filter and manage customers
Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
Social plugins integration updates
Starting with our May release, we are updating the social plugins support to require users to get the plugin code from the third party provider and saving into his Business Catalyst website. The module tags and configuration will remain unchanged, but will render an empty tag until the partner or site owner will update the module template to include the corresponding module code snippet from the third party platform provider.
For more information about how you can enable the Social Plugins on a Business Catalyst websites, read the Social Media: Integrating Facebook and Twitter knowledge base article.
Other changes
Updated weekly emails - Starting with our May release, the information in the site weekly emails has been filtered based on the site's plan. For example, webBasics site reports will no longer include the sales report.
Localization - we improved and increased the coverage of the admin interface translations into German, French and Japanese
Site Settings -> Ignored IP addresses has been relocated under Reports -> Visitors -> More.
BC-Dreamweaver integration performance improvements
Development Dashboard has been removed, as it didn't provide a clear useful, ongoing benefit. The information present in the development dashboard has been integrated into our new Help & Support section.
Payment gateway settings - for more privacy and data protection, we have updated the Payment Gateway configuration screens to obfuscate the sensitive login information. Fields that have been obfuscated are now requiring confirmation.
Report abuse badge on trial sites - for compliance reasons, a "Report Abuse" link has been added to the front-end of all trial sites of free partners that don't have any paid sites. When they click the Report Abuse link, site visitors are redirected to a form submission page on businesscatalyst.com site.

What's next
The first item on the what's next list might not be news for many of you, but it's definitely one of the most important milestones this year. The Creative Cloud launch is just around the corner, and Business Catalyst is playing an important role in that, as the publishing platform for Adobe® Muse and Dreamweaver. This launch will capture all our attention within the next weeks as we want it to be our best ever.
We'll start our next development cycle on May 15th, while the next Business Catalyst release is going to be pushed live in mid June. That being said, the following items are already on our launch plan for the next release and a few more will join the list. Please expect an update on our 2012 plans around mid May.
HTTP throttling – all page load and API calls to BC will be protected against attacks, this might trigger problems for API heavy sites. We are looking into enabling this update along with our June release, and will help make sure that a reasonable number of requests will be accepted from the same computer per minute.
Automatic site deletion - Starting with the June release, we are going to start automatically delete expired trial sites and canceled sites. Customers will be notified twice before we are going to proceed with deleting the sites.
Thank you,
Cristinel Anastasoaie
Adobe Business Catalyst Product Manager

In reference to this change in the Custom Reports... Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
What is the customer confusion we are trying to stop here? I've got even more confused customers at the moment because all of a sudden they can't find the export to excel option but know it exists if they log in on a PC?

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

CS5 - unable to download update for PS (12.0.4) or RAW (6.7) - it just says "There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later." I've been trying again for a month.

I have no idea what to do.
I stick with CS5 because it does what I need and does not lock me into a financial arrangement over which I have do not have control.
My software is registered. I have used and updated it without problems since I bought it direct from Adobe
Any idea what I might do?
Jeff

If you're trying to update through the Help menu > Updates, you should know that the Adobe auto updater in CS5 and earlier versions is an unmitigated, monumental piece of cr@p. It Is totally unreliably and fails in one or another of a great variety of ways.
Adobe began to get their act together as of CS6, with which I'm staying for exactly the same reason you are staying with CS5.
One has to update manually, by looking for, downloading and applying any and all applicable updates, including the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in which comes separately.
If the latter is what you've been doing, you need to let us know where you are trying to download the update from, what browser you are using to attempt to effect the download, and what platform you are in.
You also need to disable any and all virus protection, and make sure you are not behind any active software or hardware Fire Wall.
This is the URL for Photoshop Macintosh updates:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
and for Windows:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
Next time, please be substantially more informative, rather than plaintive or narrative (see next post). You are not addressing Adobe here.
Thank you.
