How can I have my imac start with a login page for security?

This is my first mac. It's a recently bought imac G5. When I turn on the computer it just opens to my desktop. I'd really like a way in which it would open to a login page so not just anybody could turn on my computer and access my files.

Yes.

System Preferences %26gt; Accounts

Select your account on the side

Click "Login Options" on the bottom (may require unlocking)

Uncheck "Automatically log in as ..."

This will start you up with the login screen, and as long as you have a password on your account, you will be prompted for it each time you log in.

Piece of cake:(assuming XP otherwise similar enough, chck the microsft site)

To turn off Security Center alerts

1.

Click Start and then click Control Panel.

2.

Double-click Security Center.

3.

In the Security Center, under Resources, click Change the way Security Center alerts me.

4.

In the Alert Settings dialog box, clear the Firewall, Automatic Updates, or Virus Protection check boxes, and then click OK.

When you use this procedure, the Security Center still displays your status, but does not send you alerts.

Why won't my computer boot up? Service pak 2?

Problem. I have to use an old Toshiba laptop with an early version of XP with service pak 1. When I downloaded and installed service pak 2 it refuses to open windows. To add to my woes, somehow all my restore points are wiped out. I booted in Safe mode but my internection connection wont work. So I manually removed all the secuity updates through control panel. Now I can get windows to run, and connect to the internet.

So you may ask why did I try to update? I have these pop ups that say the are "messenger service" and that I have serious registry errors and that I needed to go to a specic site and download their registry cleaner etc. etc. I realize I have serious security issues if these buggers are popping up and I have a pop up blocker installed. (Google) Unfortunately, I am using AVAST which I just read is the worst antivirus rated by PC Magazinne, HELP

In frustration I tried to reformat using the disc that came with the cumputer and it won't do diddly when I do.

Why won't my computer boot up? Service pak 2?noton

Service pack 2 was delivered in two versions. One was for those who had SP1, and one was for those who had no SP1. It seems that you had got the wrong version of SP2. If possible uninstall SP1 and then install SP2.

You could use netnanny , if you had something like NetNanny on your home PC that blocked certain adult sites, there's no way that the owner of an adult site that you have.

maybe somthing like NetNanny will help you.

also you can install a firewall between clients and servers, this will enable you to define your own "inappropriateness" in the system.

How can i safely turn off Norton Internet Security?

Sometimes i am playing Counter-Strike or something, and i can hear my computer making noise, and i lag a lot in my games.. it is really annoying. And since Norton is such a memory sucker, i think that's the problem, because before i had Norton, nothing like this happened. So is there a safe way to turn off Norton?

I reccomend uninstalling Norton and Downloading AVG virus protection.

You should use the free Kaspersky that consistently ranks higher than Norton

Please help me with computer science?

I am about to take a CS course offered by UIUC.

As decribed, this course "Examines the logical organization of databases: the entity-relationship model; the hierarchical, network, and relational data models and their languages. Functional dependencies and normal forms. Design, implementation, and optimization of query languages; security and integrity; concurrency control, and distributed database systems."

I know hardware and offen use software (like Vista, office XP quicken and Photoimpact, etc). But , i have never programmed. A man who specializes in CS told me to study "C" and the prereq of that course first, and then take only that course in the next semester beginning in the January next year.

I bought a C# book and i did not know that was C sharp and the advance level of C. I have no diffculty reading it. Can I skip C and start out with C# as having no CS background.

I will appreciate your help

Please help me with computer science?pop up blocker

you can start with any programming language you want. but since you are just beginning. it is best to start with C. (or if you want start with visual basic). C is the language used in many softwares including windows so it is best to learn that since that will be your "foundation" in programming. once you have mastered C, move on to Java then C++ (you can also skip to C# if you want).
