browser of the laptop has severe warning that the browser is obsolete. seems to be current. Tram want to download fake
I have a Toshiba laptop with win7 64 bit. About 3 weeks ago I started having a "WARNING BROWSER UPDATE REQUIRED. You use a browser that seems to be updated. Please run the exe when you are prompted to upgrade to the latest version of the browser. "I press"HELP"and he says that I am running version 27.0.1 and there is no download. The screen has a 'contact us. PRIVATE LIFE. EULA' when the user clicks on the 'CONTACT US', I get a MS Outlook 2007 Startup Wizard. The "EULA & PRIVACY" gives me the following in small print at the bottom of the page: "[email protected]".
I hesitate to click on the "FREE DOWNLOAD" for fear of downloading to a hard drive, virus of the searing.
What's this 'warning' for real?
Hello, this is a tactic of scam that tries to trick you into installing malicious software, in order to not download or run this kind of stuff! updates are managed internally and automatically by firefox if you don't have not download or run any .exe file at perrform one updated (you can run a check of updates of firefox > help > about firefox).
You can also run a full scan of your system with software security already in place and the various tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan to make sure there isn't already a kind of active malware on your system that triggers these false alerts.
Fix Firefox problems caused by malicious software
You can also help by pressing F10 & will help > report false web while you are on this questionable page - this might get the page in the list of malicious sites that crash in firefox (the list is maintained by google) or when these pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to encourage users to download malicious software you could also send it to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

I tried the update of drivers, reinstalling the software assistant camera and with the included disks system recovery. He said drfiver open fail restart camera or computer.
Hi hollywood1973,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.
First of all, I would say that you install the latest drivers for the integrated webcam site of laptop manufacturers and are looking for the latest drivers for the installation of the webcam it restarts the computer and check if it works.
If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you repair the software assistant camera on the control panel.
Click on camera Assistant in the Panel control/programs/uninstall a program. Click on the Camera Assistant Software. Then choose repair.
If the steps above does not resolve the question suggests that you contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

How can I change the settings to have an massage guest when I want to download a file duplicate
When I download a file, if the same file name already exists in the same folder to download, firefox downloads the file and renames it by adding the name of the digital file (1). I want that the combustion chamber to give me a prompt when same file already exists, rather than rename automatically by adding the suffix (1)
otherwise the DownThemAll Download Manager addon would set it in the options panel: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/downthemall

My sony vaio laptop running windows vista has completed an automatic update and after that, I can't connect to my wireless network, I can access the internet with an ethernet cable.
It worked perfectly fine before the update, I know that there is a problem with what I had the same problem in the past. The way it's been solved previously was to restore the laptop to an earlier point before the end of the update. Unfortunately I can't do that and the laptop has been completed, wiped and there is no backup where I can go to restore.
I know I can remove some updates but don't know what 1, me it is another way to solve the problem.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

(b) in the left pane, click view update history.

When I connect to Windows 7 after my laptop has been asleep, the Welcome screen will block for always (10 + minutes). It does not every time, but maybe once all 5 or 6 times and it's happened lately. I can just shut the computer off and the newspaper with no problem after starting it upward, but I'm afraid, there may come a time where it does not work.
I had this problem since I got my computer 2 months ago so I don't think it's related to what I have installed. Has anyone else encountered this problem and has found a way to fix it? Is this a common bug in all of Windows 7?
