Security :: Disable SmartScreen For Multiple Files At Once?

Apr 21, 2014

I have a directory that contains about a hundred batch files, each which starts up a ssh terminal connected to a different server. When I run one, I get the "SmartScreen" message saying that Windows is preventing an unrecognized app from starting. I can click "more info" to run it anyway, and from then on it'll run as it should. I'm hoping there's a way to select all the files at once and disable SmartScreen for them.

I know I can disable SmartScreen altogether, but it seems like it could be preferable to leave it on, as it might be protecting my system from malware and what not. I guess if that's the only way to easily get all apps I want to use to not be blocked, that's what I'll have to do.

Downgrade To Win 7 / Stuck In Bootloop - USB Unrecognized

Sep 15, 2014

I purchased a new Lenovo y50-70 laptop (non-touch) a month ago, and have been enjoying it for a while, but Windows 8 was becoming a huge problem, and generally I just like Win7 better, so today I decided to downgrade. I followed this tutorial here: Downgrade Windows 8 to Windows 7

Everything was running pretty smoothly, I downloaded the Win7 ISO from here: Windows 7 Direct Download Links, Official Disk Images from Digital River

The specific file was "Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh)"

I have a copy of Windows 7 OEM edition from building a PC, but I decided to download the ISO for the sake of the guide.

Back on track, everything was running pretty smoothly except for one error, I forgot to enable Legacy Mode in BIOS, which I did then was excited when I finally got the Windows 7 installer to load completely (it had been freezing on the "Starting Windows screen as a result of Legacy Mode being off) until I hit the drive management section. In the screen, I saw 2 drives, Drive 0 (931.7 GB) and Drive 1 (7.5 GB). As per the guide, I launched a command prompt (Shift-F10), DISKPART, DISK LIST, SELECT, and CLEAN'd both of them. Then, when I selected my 931.7 GB drive I was presented with the Error: "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error:0x803000001" I tried creating new drives, formatting, but no matter what I got the same error.

Googling around, I looked for answers and one man said to turn off and back on into BIOS, then make sure my drives were in the right order, then attempt again. I booted into BIOS, made sure my drives were in order, then rebooted, hit F12, selected the USB, and then got into prompt of text, where my computer then rebooted, and now I am stuck in a boot loop.

In BIOS, I recieve no list of drives under the UEFI section, only under legacy are 3 drives listed, my SATA drive, my USB, and some network function.

Hardware Drivers :: Can't Assign New Drive Path To Unrecognized External HD

Feb 8, 2014

Purchased a new plug and play 2 TB external hard that is not showing up as an icon in My Computer in Windows 8. It shows up in Devices and appears to be working properly. Driver is up to date. When I go to Disk Management the external is also recognized there but when I right click on the partition window to assign the external HD a drive path letter the drop down menu selection required to do so is greyed out and I am unable to perform the function. Uninstalled the USB driver for the device and re-installed and still nothing. I assume that when I activated Windows 8 on this new laptop I running as an administrator. Checked the unit out on my old laptop which is running Windows 7 and the same problem occurred. Perplexed.

How to get it installed and working correctly in a fully updated 8.1.1? i have eset smart security in, but i'd rather have my bitdefender.

Security :: How To Manually Download Latest Definition Updates For Microsoft Security Essentials

Mar 7, 2013

Initially on Win7, I was manually updating Security Essentials when was offline from this link:

How to manually download the latest definition updates for Microsoft Security Essentials

You choose x86 or x64 and go from there.

What's not mentioned, is that you can use the same links to update Windows Defender on Windows 8 as well.

I've been doing this for quite some time without issues. So the two programs are very much alike.

Security :: Can Change Local Security Policy Entries From RegEdit?

Mar 8, 2014

Which registry settings should I change to set the top two default Windows rules back to 'Unrestricted' ?

I set up some rules in the local security policy some time ago when there was fuss in the news about the cryptolocker virus. They looked a lot like the rules above (I found that screenshot online as I can't take one myself, read on..)

Today I was installing some software that wanted access to the areas I restricted. I temporarily disabled the rules, then re-enabled them. Being a dumbass I also set the top two rules (which are Windows default rules) to Disallowed!

Over the following 10 minutes various aspects of my PC stopped working, telling me that the local security policy prevented access. I couldn't even get into the Control Panel or the Local Security Policy screen to change it back, once I realised what I had done. I rebooted the machine - it won't come back up

I've tried a system restore by booting from the installer on USB (which did not work, it grumbled that it could not restore due a file locked by anti-virus) so I think I've got two options:

Refresh my system using the Windows 8 tools - but I suspect that might leave the LSP rules in place, as it retains my settings & preferences.Hand edit the registry to correct the settings.

Option 2 is looking best, I can get into RegEdit from the recovery console, but I'm not sure what to edit and what to set it to? This is on Windows 8.1 Pro...

Security :: Temporary Disabling IE Content Security Blocking

Mar 28, 2014

I came to some trouble installing CorelDraw software which apparently uses for it's setup launcher web active container performed by IE core. If I launch setup, the setup windows is evidently noninitialized showing the top warning band about active content being blocked for security reasons. Even allowing active content by selecting from the top bar menu doesn't make the setup continue. So now I'd need to temporarily bypass all IE's security checks, ie. allow everything. What I already did was browsing the security tab in IE options and allowing most of the choices in branches ActiveX controls and plugin modules + Scripting (Local Intranet). On Advanced tab I have checked in Security branch Allow execution of active content from CD discs on this computer + Allow execution of active content from files on this computer. Nothing of these affecting the installer to run (ie. I still see then active content blocking bar).

Security :: All Downloads Blocked By Security Settings?

Dec 9, 2013

I am running 8.1, and firefox 25. I can't download or run Avast, or download any executables, suddenly. I lowered my security settings to Medium and added Avast to the firewall permissions, but to no avail. My download settings were already at "prompt" anyway, so there's something deeper I can't figure out. I'm a reasonably competent generalist but not super computer smart.

Security :: Enabling EFS In Windows 8?

Feb 21, 2013

To clarify. Not BitLocker. Again, because people will talk about how BitLocker is only available in Windows 8 Pro, I am talking about EFS (Encrypting File System). Different than BitLocker.

Ok, so in previous versions of Windows to encrypt a file/folder you simply needed to right-click > properties > (general tab) click advanced > check "encrypt contents to secure data" and the deed was done. I know that you cannot simultaneously encrypt and compress files/folders, so that's not the problem. I just want to know how to turn on that feature becasue EFS offered some great functionality that I would like to have back.

I am using the regular (no-pro) version of Windows 8 on a single hard drive, no storage pool strangeness going on here.

Again; no, the files/folders are not compressed and I am not talking about BitLocker.

I too got rid of Norton, but I still have another a/v suite on my Toshiba laptop. Should Windows Defender be activated? A tech person at the company told me there would be no conflict, but that it's up to me.

In general, is it a good idea to have both running?

Security :: Enable BitLocker On Windows 8.1 Pro?

Jun 12, 2014

I recently upgraded my windows 8.1 to windows 8.1 pro as I wanted to enable bitlocker encryption on the laptop.

The issue is that I can't seem to enable or find bitlocker in any of the area's outlined. When I try to right click on the C: drive I don't have an option for bitlocker. When I go into control panel, there's no bitlocker icon. When I do a search on the machine for bitlocker I do get a "manage bitlocker" icon, but it's doesn't do anything when I click on it.

I have followed the tutorial on this site and downloaded/installed the reg files to enable it on a non tpm device. Can see that they did update the policy on the machine, but still no joy.

When I go into PC info on the machine in question I don't see anything about bitlocker. It's like it's not there. Do you have to add a windows feature to enable it?

Security :: Cannot Turn On Windows Defender

Mar 1, 2014

I have recently built a PC myself and had no issues whatsoever, until the other day when an Action Centre notification popped up. For some reason, Spyware and Virus protection have both turned off automatically and when I am prompted to turn them back on, I get an error saying "Action Centre can't turn on Windows Defender. Please try again later."

I have tried the services.msc method and tried to activate WinDefend that way, but encounter another error "Windows could not start the WinDefend service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."

I have looked up this issue with no resolution yet - as most of the solutions are for people that have installed third party Protection Programs like AVG, Norton etc.

I haven't installed any programs like that, and have also checked in the Control Panel to make sure one didn't install itself automatically with an install of another program.

Security :: How To Tell If Encryption Is Turned On In Windows 8.1

Dec 7, 2013

I just purchased a Dell Ultrabook that came with Window 8. I went to the Windows store and did the upgrade to 8.1. I've read a number of articles saying that encryption is turned on by default on a clean install of 8.1 but not necessarily on an upgrade. From some of the articles I've read, I should be able to see whether my device is encrypted on the PC Info page (see attached). I do not believe it is encrypted but I don't know for sure.

I've always used TrueCrypt on my previous devices but won't bother if my new device is already encrypted.

Security :: Disable UAC But Still Use Windows Apps?

Mar 18, 2013

I have been using Windows 8 Pro 64bit version for a few months now and after a few teething problems I love it. I have disabled the UAC via the control panel, registry and the Local Security Policy editor etc... so now I don't get any popups at all. It's come to a point though where I now want to try out some of the apps but can't because without the UAC turned on I can't run any of them.

My question is is it possible to keep UAC turned off but still be able to run these apps?, I would love to know any tweak I can use to enable this but I won't compromise system stability for it.

It says it's been turned off and it's not monitoring the computer, I can't turn it on either unless I'm not doing something right. McAfee internet security suite was on the laptop when I brought, is it because of that? Should I just remove it?

Is windows defender good security on it's own or do I need more than just that? I've downloaded malwarebytes anti-malware?
