This has just come in, and was captured by my phishing filter. I have since deleted it as I suspect its authenticity; If it is legit, then the sender is doing the very action that Users are being firmly and constantly warned against.
View 5 RepliesHave to applaud VistaForums and the resource it provides. There are many posts on this and I'm still stumped. Hope someone can assist on this.. Using Windows Mail..I can receive links from others but when I *send* a LINK..(www.yahoo.com' //www.espn.com/), my receipients can not see the site. Neither can I for that matter when I go look at the email I just sent. I'm perplexed by this as I have followed answers in the forumn and clicked default on windows mail and even went to security tab under windows mail and unchecked block images.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI don’t know if I’m in the correct area or not. If not, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I have Vista 32 Home Premium operating system. I have Microsoft Office 2007. When I tried to delete my Junk E-mail folder it tells me it’s full. I know it isn’t so I have been deleting emails individually. How can I fix this problem?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing is related to the lack of a security certificate for an email server from which I am receiving mail with Windows Live Mail. I want to know if there is a way I can suppress the warning message I receive from Windows Live Mail every time I start the application, or I can otherwise tell the program that this is a trusted server even though there is no certificate. Since I can simply dismiss the warning each time and receive mail I am looking for an automated way, short of requiring this server to install a certificate, to indicate to Windows Live Mail that this is a trusted server.

"All your emails are coming through as "Malevolent and Phishing" and go to my junk mail box"! I'm certainly not Phishing - nor am I malevolent! I am, though, using an iMac with OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) and Apple Mail Version 4.2. Is there a setting in Vista which needs to be 'adjusted' so that my friend won't receive warnings on receipt of email messages from me?

Brandon Paddock's Blog » Blog Archive » FAQ: Why does WDS / Windows Vista use so many processes?
I guess it's part of 3 Vista "Services" which mostly have to do with indexing. Is this so that Vista can so quickly find files? Is that all it's for? If so, I should be able to permanently block it without any problems, right?
I really don't need Vista to be able to find everything within 2 seconds. I don't look for things that often and when I do I have a pretty good filing system and can get to them on my own pretty quickly.
People are reporting that these 3 services in the article linked above seem to take up a lot of processor power, too.
So has anyone blocked this? What is the best way to do it, and what is the outcome? Will Vista still be able to find things, only a bit slower, or what?
I posted a question regarding a problem I am having with one of my friends sending me emails and her emails going into phishing. I have listed her address in my safe senders and she is not listed in my block senders but somehow only her emails go into phishing. Someone answered my question but when I click on the link to get my answer, a blank page comes up (it should take me straight to my question and the answer). And I cannot find my question anywhere when I sign in to the discussion group.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen my PC was delivered, and evaluation copy of McAfee Command Centre was pre installed. As I prefer to use my own antivrus product as well as Windows own firewall, I uninstalled McAfee. Although it didn't fully install, I removed the files left behind with the removal tool provided by McAfee. I installed my own antivirus product, aVast, and activated Windows firewall. If I look in Security Centre, the is a conflict warning saying that I have two firewalls activated. For some reason, McAfee is still shown as being present as both a firewall and antivirus protection. I don't know how this can be because McAfee is no longer on my computer. Furthermore I cannot find any way to remove the reference to McAfee.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThis is a problem on a Windows Server, but this sort of thing is more of a general Windows problem.... so, onwards...One of our servers recently died and required restoring from backup, which went almost perfectly. The sole exception is that the server is now using Webdings/Wingdings for IE download dialogs and Windows security warning dialogs. And I have not the slightest idea why it's doing this. I've hit the search engines and help sites and haven't found anything, and the WindowsFonts folder is perfectly intact as far as I can tell.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI get this annoying warning when I open and .exe file. The warning gives me the option to deselect the 'always ask when opeing this file', but it reappears the next time I open the file and the warning is reselected even though I already deselected it. The warning has a help link on the bottom ' how can I decide what software to run' and all the help links talk about is downloading which has nothing to do with this warning dialog box. How do I get rid of this annoying security warning on this file. If I go to properties for the file, there is an unblock option which I select and apply, but it too reappears the next time I open the file properties.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn the last few days, when I have clicked on certain links, a Window opens headed "File Download Security Warning". It says underneath: "Do you want to save this file or find a program online to open it?" The name of the file is stated, and is said to be of the type "Unknown Filetype".
Below that there are buttons offering "Find", "Save" and not surprisingly "Cancel". If you click on "Find" a Window opens headed "Windows File Association" This says the file is "MIME Type: Application/x-gzip-compressed." None of this is normal, so I used System Restore to go back three days. This seems to have cured most of the errant links, but not all. The problem remains. When you click on a link, you should go to that link, right?

The Microsoft Security Essentials proved itself. My notebook started to run weird, lately. I was suspicious and start scan the whole system with McAfee, however it stopped on 11% of scan and showed me the error. I started it once more, but it was disabled again.
I have been using the Microsoft Security Essentials on the Windows 7 and because I was thinking about switching to this AV on the Vista at the end of this year, I got rid of the McAfee Total Security and installed the Microsoft, just to give it a try on Vista. Yes, it found and destroyed the trojan in the System32. Today, it blocked the another one during browsing the web.

Is there any way to REMOVE the Junk Mail Box? I do not want any of my mail going to the junk mail box because it's too easy to miss mail you DO want that way.
