What is security central - is it a virus (it pops up saying needed for firefox-coming from you)...google said it is a dangerous virus -- any protection?

Received 3 popups today - indicating that Firefox wanted to install Security Central 137 and Security Central 577 because my computer is unprotected (then a number of trojans and viruses were listed). I didn't buy it, so googled "security central" -- search revealed that security central is a virus.
Is security central OK or not...was that popup from Firefox or Mozilla? If not, is there a fix?

My Avira detect that installer as a virus, beware of it!!!

1.what is a plugin. 2.are they needed for firefox to work

was told i need update but have to disable symantec ips 2.0;norton toolbar 5.6 and yahoo toolbar though this move was strange you never asked before to disable stuff for an update is it ok. some mention of a plugin was made but being a senior i dont think i need them '''is it ok to update'''

THANX for the reply Cor-el, unfortunately it doesn't work with the personas plus 1.6.2 extension being enabled. Someone on mozillazines forum posted this to my post about this problem: "Mozilla decided quite some time ago that Personas shouldn't work with Themes despite years of them working together just fine, and engineered Firefox 3.6 and 4.0 specifically to not allow them to work together. They promised us they would fix the situation and since then the main engineer working on Personas either left or has been too busy to contribute and fix the mess." I posted a 2nd reply to Tomatoweb above & will try what someone else on mozillazines forum said to try on their site using an alternate method. I hope it works.

My iCal keeps popping up saying 'iCal can't log into your google account because your password key be incorrect', and no matter what I try or type in it just keeps popping up every 20 minutes or so. Any help?

Hi, I've had my Air for a few days now, and since setting up my iCloud and linking with my gmail account, my iCal has started constatnly bugging my about a password entered incorrectly, it says, 'The password may hev been enetered incorrectly. Reenter the password for account 'Google' on the CalDAV server "calender.google.com".' Whatever I type in is wrong, and I don't have that many options for passwords so I know I'm not entering it incorrectly if it's one of mine, and every time I close it, it pops back up 20 minutes later with the same problem. Any help would be great, Thanks

I ran into the issue about 3 months ago and resetting my password fixed the issue (no pop-ups since the reset). As someone who supports about 25,000 users who are on Google Apps for Education I can comfortably say that this appears to be a pretty common fix. About once a week we get a call from a user who gets the username/password pop-up with correct credentials, when I encountered it myself I knew something had to be up.
Give the reset a try, also give it a few minutes (3 to 5 mins) before entering the new password into iCal.

What kind of audio interface do I need for audio out from MainStage 3?

I have a Yamaha MO8 that I use for playing in the worship band at my church. In the past, I've just directly routed audio from the MO8 through a direct box and into the sound system.
I'm looking to switch my setup and use the Yamaha MO8 as a midi controller in MainStage 3. I have this part working — the problem is getting the audio from my MacBook Pro.
The audio output sounds fine through the MacBook Pro speakers or through headphones plugged into the audio out / headphone jack; however, if I plug the direct box into the MacBook Pro's audio out / headphone jack, the signal the sound system gets is very pretty weak and very distorted.
I'm assuming I need an audio interface between my MacBook Pro and the direct box / sound system. Since it's a 2010 MacBook Pro, I'm assuming my only output option is USB (unless the digital audio out can be used). If that's correct, would something like the Scarlet 2i2 work for me?
Thanks…

Yes, you'll need some sort of audio interface to get a good signal back to your mixer.
The Scarlet 2i2 would work for you but you may find a few limitations. I use a MOTU Audio Express and it has the advantage of being a mixer as well, so I can mix in a backup signal from the onboard audio outs of my controller (Kurzweil PC3x) in case MainStage goes down (it happens on rare occasion). Firewire is my preference so the MOTU checks that box. I also like that I can connect my MIDI cables to the MOTU and have one cable going into the computer.
If you need this sort of compact redundancy, I would shoot a little higher than the Scarlet. If you don't feel the need for a backup line and USB works for you, then the Scarlet unit would be an excellent value.

What does it mean when my screen has the iTunes symbol with the cord picture coming from bottom to almost the iTunes circle. It is fully charged.

My granddaughter's iPad has on the screen a picture of the cord for charging with the iTunes circle. It is charged, and will do nothing!

I tried to sign up for a new free account, got message from you. Sent you em address ask what is wrong. Find my em was right. condused. Tried change my profile, but never had a profile, and at that it says to change my password, not want to change it.

Wow, at age 76 I'm suppose to remember all I saw before and give you more details?
I wanted to be able to join the support blog, to be able to ask a question. It all went from there. Somewhere along the line I saw sign up for a new free (support?) account. I did. created a cute name (Marycontrary), put in a password, not likely one to be used by someone else, my em address. Sent. Got a confirmation em from you. I clidked to confirm. I got back from you: It said something wrong (or something like that) I thought maybe I didn't type in the last part of my em address and sent a reply to you to that effect. See above for rest. Hope you can help. I can't stand it when companies want us to change our passwords. I like us to be able to keep our original password, I use different ones for different sites. The best sites give us a chance to retrieve our orignial password by setting up a chance to choosing a question of our choice and registering the answer, then when a problem they as the question and we give the answer and everything goes well. These change you password bits are very very hard on us older people, and there are more and more of us out here on the net now days. Thank you for any help you can give me.'''bold text'''

There is Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

This could well be the notorious Mac Defender - which is an annoying program that tricks you into thinking that your Mac is infected with a virus, when the only infection is Mac Defender itself.
When surfing the web never EVER click on a link that says "Free anti-virus scan" or "Scan now" - they are nearly always scams which will end up infecting your computer. Although Macs are resistant to viruses, they're not resistant to user stupidity.
If you Google "Mac defender" then you'll find plenty of sites with instructions on how to remove this minor nuisance. Take this as a warning that you need to be more careful in your surfing habits.

Firefox 5 deleted my Google Toolbar and Google sez I can't install the Google toolbar to Frefox 5 -- What do I do?

Details: Firefox 5 deleted my Google Toolbar and Google sez I can't install the Google toolbar to Frefox 5 -- What do I do?

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

What edition of Oracle DB do I need for Map Viewer 12c?

Hi All,
What edition of Oracle DB do I need for Map Viewer 12c?
Thanks,

What version of Oracle client do I need for a machine with Windows 8?
Windows 8 doesn't require ANY version of Oracle client!
Most installations of Windows 8 never install Oracle client and they have never had any problem except the large set of problems that come included with the OS itself (bugs).
So you clearly need to explain what PROBLEM you are trying to solve.
Then we can help you find the best way to solve it. For example you could download and use the free Oracle Sql Developer and just use JDBC to connect to your databases. Then you don't need an Oracle client at all.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

What internet security suites does Firefox work with completely?

My Kaspersky internet website blocker and advisor won't work with the new Firefox update. This is why I am not updating. What security internet suites does Firefox work completely with. This is a constant problem with Kaspersky which is one of the higher rated security suites available. I don't like paying for security that Firefox disables.

Toolbars and other applications bundled with anti-virus are usually not helpful in any way. I stay away from all toolbars simply because they are useless and offer no real protection other than annoying me.
If you <s>ever</s> have Kaspersky or any other anti-virus installed, you will be protected. Every antivirus protects your whole system, not just a certain program. You will be fine.
As for Firefox and Kasperky's toolbar not existing peacefully, that's a problem on Kaspersky's side. They need to keep up-to-date with Mozilla's roll out schedule. (Firefox 37 will be rolled out in 3 days). Contact Kaspersky for an update on their toolbar.
