Ask questions on possible fraud
I received a call from someone who says he's with Windows out of Dallas, TX. He told me that germs and piracy of the malicious files are downloaded to my microsoft windows program, which could cause my computer down. He says that his name is Mark. He wanted me to turn on my computer - no internet - only computer that would show my cls ID #. He would check the number to prove that it is legitimate. When I asked for a phone number, he gave 121.444.64763. I told Mark 64763 was too many digits for a U.S. phone number. You have surgery in Dallas, Texas that would communicate with Microsoft Windows users like me? How will I know if malicious hacking files are downloaded to my PC? Can you help me? My phone # 661.342.7015 Email: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.
First of all, he gave the number was probably 1.214.446.4763. The 1 is the access code to dial long distance. And Yes, 214 is an area code in Dallas.
Secondly, there are several standards cls numbers numbers, so it's just a way to give you a false sense of security and to earn your trust.
Thirdly, read this: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/protect-pc.aspx
Fourth, should under no circumstances let them take control of your computer to 'help '.

Today someone called me from 16305820473
Posing as an employee, working at Microsoft HQ, he began to ask questions about my computer. I told him that I had no computer and he hang up.Fake phone calls to technical support
Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.
Please see:
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx
Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.
These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

Just got a call and they said that they were Microsoft Security, someone at - he never head of this?
It's a scam. Probably from 'phishing' or want to access your computer and/or who want to sell you something. MS will not call you unless you called their request for assistance.

You experience slow response on normal s tablet, the first gen one or the Xperia s tablet, a new.
If you experience a slow response, it may be because you use too many apps at the time and slowing down of your tablet. How long it lasts?

This is the right forum to ask questions about the development of .vbs script?
Please feel free to point me in a direction different/various forum as appropriate.
My goal is to automate the replacement of the connection on a Win7 x 32 machine wallpaper using vbscript. I know which will involve a change of register, create a folder and copy my image in the new folder. I can't use a packaged solution, because it's for my PC to work (outside the unauthorized programs), and I don't want to take the time to do this manually every time I'm on another PC or a virtual PC that is cleared to a State of origin on a regular basis.
If anyone knows a vb script that already does, it's phenomenal. If this isn't the case, I try to find the best MS community forum to ask questions of syntax when working on the VBscript code.
Thank you.
Thank you - this site seems to be a few articles, but research on MSDN brought me to
http://social.msdn.Microsoft.com/forums/vstudio/en-us/home?Forum=vbgeneral
That seems to be a good fit.
Thank you!
