What do I do if my F-Secure security product is partially removed when upgrading to Windows 10?

QuestionWhat do I do if my F-Secure security product does not work after upgrading to Windows 10?
AnswerOnce you have completed your Windows 10 upgrade, you may experience the following with your F-Secure security product:
Your F-Secure security product does not start up.
On your computer, you can't find the F-Secure security product icon in the system tray at the bottom of the screen.
Your F-Secure security product does not show up in the list of installed apps and features in Settings > Systems > Apps & features.
If this happens, it means that the Windows 10 upgrade has unfortunately removed some of the F-Secure security software components, and the product fails to start up as it should.
To get your F-Secure security product working normally again, the F-Secure security product needs to be removed from your computer, and the product reinstalled. To do this:
Download and run the Uninstallation Tool for Windows. You can download the tool here. The instructions for the Uninstallation Tool for Windows are here.
Reinstall the F-Secure security product on your computer. You can download the product from the F-Secure website or from your My SAFE account, depending on your subscription.

Thanks but the tool only works if you have one working windows installation and it's designed for mult-boot systems. I don't have a multi-boot system and when the Windows 10 upgrade fails there is no active working Windows install to turn to. The partition gets corrupted and has a "RAW" status until you run chkdsk with gets it back to "NTFS" status but it won't boot. My only two options at this point is to restore back to an image backup or install Windows 7 all over again. I'm just going to give up on this HP laptop, to me it's just not compatible with running this upgrade, so unless someone else has any other ideas this attempt to upgrade is over. Thanks again

What do I do with F-Secure Freedome when upgrading to Windows 10?

QuestionWhat do I do with F-Secure Freedome when upgrading to Windows 10?
AnswerWhen upgrading your operating system from Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 to Windows 10, you can choose to:
Keep your programs and data through the Windows 10 upgrade (Recommended)
If you choose to upgrade to Windows 10 whilst keeping your programs and data, the Freedome application does not get removed and continues to work normally after the upgrade.
Make a fresh (clean) Windows 10 installation
If you choose to make a fresh (clean) Windows 10 installation, you will need to reinstall Freedome after the Windows 10 upgrade. Do note that this method of upgrade requires you to type in a new subscription code as every installation of Freedome uses one of your available subscriptions.
Note: If you have had an expired trial subscription of Freedome on your computer before the Windows upgrade, it will remain expired after Windows has been upgraded. This applies to both the Windows upgrade methods mentioned above.

Security in FR Reports removed when re-importing

We needed to make some changed to all FR Reports (100+) so in Workspaces Explorer we chose to:
1) Export the entire FR folder(including subfolders) by clicking File\Export
2) Make the changes (updated the Related Content link) to the *.des files
3) Import thru workspace by clicking File\Import
However, when we do this the original Reports will be overwritten, but then we loose the Security we assigned on the Reports. Where can we export the Security assigned on the Reports AND Folders for FR so that we do not have to reassign security?
Appreciate the assistance!

If you are on version 9.3.1 there isn't a way. And we had the same heartburn. And in some instances the apply permissions to children didn't always work. this feature is very flaky

What to do when upgrade to Windows 8.1 deauthorizes your computer

I've used all my authorizations. When I upgraded to 8.1, it deauthorized my new laptop. I need to re-authorize this laptop because I don't have any more authorizations. How can I reauthorize this laptop?

Hi lindasfree,
You will need to do a Deauthorize All on the computer and then reauthorize it and any other computers you have authorized to your Apple ID:

Will my F-Secure security product keep working when I upgrade to Windows 10?

QuestionWill my F-Secure security product keep working when I upgrade to Windows 10?
AnswerYes. All supported versions (12.1 or newer) of F-Secure security products are automatically migrated when you upgrade from Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. However, there are two conditions that may result in Windows 10 to remove your F-Secure application:
If you are upgrading from Windows Vista or earlier to Windows 10, all applications are removed. You will then need to reinstall your F-Secure security product manually after the upgrade.
If you are upgrading from Windows 7, 8, or 8.1, F-Secure security product might get removed depending if you do not have the supported version of F-Secure installed. You will then need to reinstall your F-Secure security product manually after the upgrade.
Note: Make sure that you download the latest version of our product when reinstalling the product on Windows 10.

You will likely find that drivers are not readily available for Windows 10 on HP site. When Windows 8 was released it was a slow process rolling out drivers and many early adopters were not happy. I agree with -wait for a few months at least. Check your models support page for release of Win 10 drivers also before deciding.

What versions of Flash Player Still Receive Security Fixes?

Greetings,
I'm seeking a page that lists the supported vs. unsupported versions of Flash Player. That is, what versions are still eligible to recieve security fixes (regardless of OS).
Thanks!
Edit update:
To be more clear and reword things: I'd like to find the annoucement pages for each unsupported version of Flash Player, that is, links to office Adobe content showing when certain versions entered an unsupported state.
Thanks again!

As far as I know, we don't have an official page that lists when a version stops receiving security fixes. I suspect we'll do a blog post when this occurs and I'll also update in our announcement forum which you can find here:
Is there a way to be automatically notified when a new Flash Runtime release is made?
The announcement forum also lets you know when security udpates are made, and where to find both the 11.x and 10.3 updates.

What is known/felt about Trusteer Rapport security software?

What is the collective experience with the security software, Trusteer Rapport. It is designed to protect against nefarious internet agents, but I don't want to do anything that 1. I don't need to do, and 2. may slow down my system. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Ayala, I realize that you have a product to sell and a reputation to uphold. My experience was with Rapport some time ago and at that time the Mac version at least, had a bad press for causing crashes. As I said, it may well have been improved since then.
But as with BT's desire for me to use their recommended anti-virus software, which is blatantly designed for PC users, I prefer to keep my computer with Mac applications or ones with a proven track record, such as ClamXav. I would not even use Adobe Flash and Java, if I could help it. Any application which imposes constant extra processing load to Safari, like your's, is not acceptable to me anyway, and for you to have even put it on the market without testing it thoroughly on a Mac, is enough to convince me to avoid it now.

would like to change ,my password. I signed in but I don't know what was my answer for the 2 security question. How can I change my password?

Hello, dot mac & MobtleMe no longer exist, though it may be possible to still use a dot mac addy... or maybe not if expired.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 993
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 587
    •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repair for PCs and it makes me want to see if I can save this machine. It's in forensic recovery right now so I myself have not done anything yet.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.

Hi, Lincoln,
A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when.
