Security / Firewalls :: How To Safely View Attachments
Sep 11, 2012
I am receiving email with attachments from friends who could be more secure.I had a situation where their email was being intercepted and another time when they were forwarding adverts.Their knowledge is even less than mine when it comes to email. Is there a way I can move email attachments received by Thunderbird 10.0.2 to a safe place and read it as text only and not have it turn into a java executable or something?Also what is a good way to read such text files?
I have an old Win XP (SP3) desktop that just recently has a problems with attachments to emails. It simply won't allow me to open or save them.
I have tried both hotmail and btinternet.com (yahoo) emails. When I click on an attachment and choose either 'open' or 'save' the small grey box appears that usually shows the file action and download time info. However no info appears in the grey box and it just sits there (for hours). I have tried the same email attachment on another PC and it works fine so the problem is specific to this PC.
The file size is not a factor, as it fails to open attachments of only 100kb, nor is the file type (pdf). I can download large pdf files from a website with no trouble. the problem is just email attachments.
I tried switching off the Windows firewall, but this made no difference. The a/v is AVG9.0.
Is it true that the FCC is investigating the Pogo game site because of poor security? Is Java the cause of this problem?I'm very leery of getting on the Pogo site because I've been told that my computer could get a virus and crash.
I'm new to IT, and have been put in charge of managing our servers hile my boss is on vacation.We currently have a Sonicwall Network Security Appliance that handles our Firewall/VPN and have web content filtering set in place.I have a user who belongs to 2 CFS policy groups that we have set up. I've double checked with Active Directory, and he is a member of both groups.
This person SHOULD have access to Job searches/ and Restaurants,but receives a "content blocked" message on his browser.It appears to me that the settings in Sonicwall are correct, as well with AD member groups.
I am trying to connect to a Security-enabled wireless netowork. I have the key. My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to enter it. When I try to connect I open the "view available networks"window. I see the network name and it shows a strong signal (all 5 green bars).
I want to install Microsoft Security Essential on my PC, but I am not sure which download I need. One says amd64 and the other is x86. I am using windows xp 32bit.
I have windows xp home and the last few days a security installation has kept trying to install ie: "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242) (update 1 of 1)..."
I opened my iTunes program today and noticed a roommate's MP3 files were picked up on my network. I think the name of the program is Rocket Tube MP3. Anyway, I came on here because our computers use a Wi-Fi internet connection and I was wondering how much of my web activity (history, cookies, temporary files, etc) he could see from my laptop if his computer was a desktop downstairs. He's very tech-savvy (a former IT guy) and I don't want him snooping through my personal records.
We are a non-profit organization that is heavily reliant on interns that use their own laptops a lot here. My concern is they come in and connect to our wireless network with no supervision or anything else. I am worried they will introduce a virus, trojan, or something to our network. What the best way to keep them from introducing unwanted malware from a thumb drive, virus in email, or something to that effect shy of standing over them while they install and run an antivirus software?
I have problem with the Lan-to-Lan VPN tunnel.the VPN working fines since 9 months ago without any problems.Suddenly got the problem!,In last two days we faced problem the VPN down.in first time the problem in phase-2.. but after that in phase-1... in latest no data packet received to their side.
I am looking for some resources on what steps would be involved in configuring a Cisco ASA 5500 when obtaining a new ISP. Since our static IP will be changing with the new ISP, just need to know what configurations changes will need to take place. We currently have a working config with DSL, but are switching to cable. We are using a DMZ configuration, and are going to try using ASDM first since that should be easier
There are three Win 7 laptops on the LAN trying to connect to the ASA5500 Firewall. They generate a Severity Level 3 alert and try the same port three times then move to the next numerical port and try that three times. Is this a malicious Hack.

I'm working with Cisco ASDM 6.1 for pix. I want some of ip addresses are not shunned thus provide a list of addresses which should not be shunned in threat detection, but some of ip addresses are shunned yet.
I want to block 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 but my router says invalid domain so if will the guess network be able to go to page 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 even though I don't block it? I have a bypass account but don't want anyone else to access 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1. Also can you tell me some proxy sites I can block?
when I run nestat -b command. I always see a lan ip sending TCP traffic to my computer with state syn_receivedProto >> Lan Address >> Foreign Address >> state >> Process idTCP >> (my ip) >> 192.168.2.222(lan ip) >> syn_received >> 4
my laptop is conneted to the internet everything works,is there a way to show what the 8 characters are?(win xp)......for instance with win 7 there is simply a box to check that says SHOW CHARACTERS
I have an ISIS TFS1612 security camera system at my business. I'm looking to view it remotely. But, I can't seem to get it working. I have forwarded all ports that it uses. As well as set up a static external ip address. The modem I have is an Actiontec Q1000 which also acts like my router. There are other things connected to the modem.
[code] just came out with a new package called Roadrunner Broadband Extreme ($10 extra). The claimed speeds are 30GB down and 5GB up. I have a friend in another area of town who is getting these speeds consistently, although i will admit he lives in a much more "technologically advanced" area where there are several big technology businesses like IBM. I just had the service installed last week, and have even had the cable techs to the house, but i am not even close to getting what i paid for.On average a normal day i would test at between 14-17GB down and maybe 2.2 up (using Time Warner's speed test, on tests from places like Speakeasy the speeds show much lower).So the question after the long winded description is this. Is there any program i can use that may be able to safely tweak my system and get closer to the speeds i should be getting? I know i may never reach 30 down and 5 up, but if i could at least be in the 20's down and maybe 3.5-4 up.
My Iphone 4s will no longer connect to my WRT54G Linksys router. I know it's a security issue because if I disable security, then it connects. I'm using WPA-Personal, AES, Mixed mode.I've already tried resetting the network settinegs on the iphone a couple of times.
I've recently spotted my router's configuration page is shown publicly if they connect to external ip or a domain name I've set up to my own IP through a web browser (it's a game server)I see it as a security thread, that everybody can connect to my router's configuration page and want that down asap!
I am trying to figure out how to give computers that connect to my LAN limited access. I have heard that some viruses, though rare, may travel through the network and infect all computers on the network. I want to prevent this. Is there any way to give computers connected to my network strict access to only the internet to prevent viruses or any other harmful attacks?
A couple hours ago I installed AVG free antivirus and pc-cleanup and decided to uninstall them after seeing poor results. When I rebooted my computer, I was unable to, and still am, to find any wireless networks. I've tried disabling Microsoft firewall and restoring but everything has failed.
Does any one know of a good parental software, one that controls searches and websites. I just bought my 12 yr old daughter a laptop and want to keep her safe online
I have ran speed tests using speedtest.net whilst having my kaspersky internet security 2011 both enabled and disabled.With it enabled, i get download speeds of around 3MbpsWith it disabled, i get download speeds of around 12Mbps3Mbps is awful and loading webpages can take a long time sometimes. What can be done to resolve this problem?
I have a sonicwall tz-170 that has a standard interface. It is the main system with IP 192.168.1.1.Another location using IPs 192.168.0.1 has a dvr (192.168.0.154) with ports 80, 37777 and 37778.I can access them from the main location just fine but setting up a service then a rule does not allow me to connect from outside the network. I assume this is the same for anything trying to reach the other side of the vpn but I'm not sure
