...3 Security Features of Windows Vista 3 Security Features of Windows Vista In this project I will cover Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and User Account Control. TASK #1 Windows Defender Surfing the internet is not safe anymore. You can visit a website and next thing you know you have received some virus just by accessing the website. You can purchase Malware and Spyware programs, but Microsoft has introduced Windows Defender in Vista. Defender is a built in program that comes with Windows Vista to keep spyware and other unwanted software from infecting your computer. It does this in 3 ways: * There is “Real-time protection” that alerts you when attempts to access your computer and install software are done. * There is “SpyNet” which is message board that people can look to see how others responded to software not yet classified for risks. Anyone can participate and post their comments on what they experienced with certain software programs. * Finally you can utilize the “Scanning” feature and have Windows Defender scan your computer for spyware and other unwanted software. Windows Firewall Back in 2001 when Windows XP was released, it included a limited firewall call “Internet Connection Firewall”. Because of compatibility issues and difficulty reaching the options for the program it was rarely used. Due to several Worms attacking users who didn’t have a firewall or didn’t use the difficult “Internet Connection Firewall”, Microsoft came back with...

...Comparing Windows XP, Vista, and 2003 Server Comparing Windows XP, Vista, and 2003 for Deployment in Riordan Manufacturing Introduction Riordan Manufacturing will require IT infrastructure upgrades in both server/workstation hardware as well as network and workstation operating systems in order to maintain a competitive edge in the market today. Current operating systems in use at Riordan will either not support or ineffectively utilize resources provided in newer hardware available for procurement. Transitioning to new infrastructure requires a detailed look at the applications required for business processes, the availability and pricing of upgraded software packages to replace current applications, and/or the feasibility of rewriting those applications for modern architectures. The upgrade plan should build as much backward compatibility for older applications as possible, while still maintaining progressive replacement cycles aiding in product support and reliability. Windows XP FEATURES Over the years Microsoft has produced many versions of Windows since 1985. Every version of Windows from 1985 to 1990’s can be considered as a testing phase until Windows 3.0 came out for personal computers. Windows XP Professional integrates the strengths of Windows 2000 Professional. Windows XP offers many enhancements and a reduced total cost of ownership over Windows 2000 while increasing your computer power. Windows XP Professional advanced management and support...

Smith Systems Consulting can solve and correct the issue of different software at different locations in the following way; 1. Provide a consistent software recommendation for all locations 2. Provide basic system requirements for the software upgrades 3. Provide direction on how all software can be implemented at the different locations. Consistent Software First, to address the issue of different software and different operating systems; it is important to have a consistent product installed at all locations. This will allow for easy transfer of documents between locations. There is no need to upgrade the operating systems at all locations if you use the same word software at all locations. It is important to have the same word software for compatibility issues. This can be addressed with a Microsoft Office software upgrade such as Office 2007 or 2010. Microsoft Office has the ability to save documents in older form to allow for compatibility with the newer versions...

...BitLocker To Go – USB Flash Drive encryption – User Guide Introduction BitLocker To Go is a new feature of Windows 7 which allows encryption of easily misplaced portable storage devices such as USB Flash Drives and external hard drives. Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the right encryption key (password) to unscramble it. Encryption is used when you want a strong level of protection for your information. With the increase in the use of very small, large capacity USB flash drives the potential for sensitive data to be lost or stolen has become more of a concern. BitLocker allows you to encrypt a USB flash drive/external hard drive and restrict access with a password. Without the password, the USB drive is inaccessible. When you connect a BitLocker encrypted USB drive to a Windows 7 computer you will be prompted for a password, after entering the password correctly you can read and write to the drive as normal. Turning on BitLocker To Go on a USB Flash drive on Windows 7 • First open up My Computer and Right-click on the flash drive you want to encrypt and select Turn on BitLocker. • BitLocker will then initialise the drive. A window will be displayed as follows: • After BitLocker initializes the flash drive you will be asked to choose how you want to unlock the drive. Select the first option: Use a password to unlock the drive. As detailed passwords...

...Method 1: Check for strange behavior Many damaged documents exhibit strange behavior. This behavior may be related to damage to the document or to the template on which the document is based. This behavior may include the following: Repeatedly renumbers the existing pages in the document Repeatedly redoes the page breaks in the document Incorrect document layout and formatting Unreadable characters on the screen Error messages during processing A computer that stops responding when you open the file Any other unexpected behavior that cannot be attributed to the typical operation of the program If the document shows any of these symptoms, or if you cannot open the document, go to method 2. Back to the top Method 2: Check other documents and programs Sometimes, this behavior may be caused by factors other than document damage. To eliminate these other factors, follow these steps: Look for similar behavior in other documents. Look for similar behavior in other 2007 Microsoft Office programs or 2010 Microsoft Office programs. If any of these steps indicate that the problem is not in the document, you will then have to troubleshoot Word 2007 or Word 2010, the 2007 Office suite, the 2010 Office suite, or the operating system that is running on the computer.

...Technology Relationships Paper Brenda Ferguson-Calloway CMGT/557 – Emerging Technologies & Issues November 12, 2012 Ken Orgill Technology Relationships Paper What is leading edge technology? Leading edge technology is “In the 1960s & 70s, leading edge was 3GL languages such as COBOL, Fortran, etc. In the 1980s, 4GLs such as Progress and Informix emerged. In the 1990s, terms such as COM object and 32 bit relational databases were coined” (Pratico, 2008). Since the new millennium began, we have been hearing about HTML, NET and other web languages. What is bleeding edge technology? Bleeding edge technology is “a high-tech product that is so new that its place in the market is still uncertain. The term is applied to products that present a high level of risk because there is some question about how widely they will be accepted” (Web Finance, Inc., 2012). Bleeding technology is relatively, new technology. Bleeding technology is unreliable because it has not been tested and it has not proven its worthiness or authenticity. A user will be taking a huge risk to use the bleeding technology which would be more expensive than the leading technology. Bleeding edge technology could be very costly and it could turn into something that could be the beginning of a serious problem. The reason why bleeding edge technology could cause many problems is because it is new and might be quite risky because of the instability. Bleeding edge technology has not been thoroughly tested and...

...An important improvement that was added in Windows Vista was the removable media policies. It allowed for the use of USB drives, flash memory cards, external USB hard drives, and CD/DVD writers. These however posed a huge security problem for companies because it allowed the users to easily copy data from their systems, or even place unwanted viruses or malware onto their network. This lead to a lot of companies removing or just destroying these devices so that they wouldn’t work on their workstations. Vista also addressed the power management settings that weren’t available by default in Windows operation systems beforehand. There were third party software that was used before this release, but companies would prefer if it were built into Windows to reduce costs. Power management policies allowed the companies to save money on electricity, and run at lower temperatures. Hard disk settings were added which allowed the hard drive to be set to turn on or off at specific times. For example when the computer is on battery power, then the hard drive would power down. The other policy that was added for this is for when the computer is plugged in. These allowed for set time values to be set after inactivity or other events happen which would power down the hard drives. There were also settings for the displays which worked the same way as the hard drives. A very useful policy that is called “Require a password when a computer wakes” was added. This made it easier for companies...

...Installing SensIt, RiskSim, and TreePlan 3 3.1 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW SensIt, RiskSim, and TreePlan are decision analysis add-ins for Microsoft Excel 2000–2010 (Windows) and Microsoft Excel 2004 & 2011 (Macintosh). In general, an Excel add-in is software that adds features to Excel. SensIt performs sensitivity analysis on your worksheet what-if model and automatically creates simple plots, spider charts, and tornado charts. Sensitivity analysis can help you determine which of your input assumptions are critical. RiskSim provides random number generator functions for model inputs, automates Monte Carlo simulation, and creates Excel charts for a histogram and the cumulative distribution of the output variable. TreePlan helps you build decision tree diagrams. These instructions are appropriate for installing any or all three of these products. For each add-in, all of the functionality, including its built-in help, is a part of the single file in XLA format. There is no separate help file. On a Windows computer, the installation does not create Windows Registry entries, although Excel may use such entries to keep track of its add-ins. 3.2 REMOVING PREVIOUS VERSIONS Before you open or install an add-in, you must remove any previous versions of the add-in. Excel will not work correctly if you try to use two versions of the same add-in simultaneously. For example, if you were using a tryout version and now you want to use the standard version, Excel will regard this as two...
