• About this Mac window

  A week ago I updated my Mac Mini end of 2014 to Sierra and, among other drawbacks, I found that the "to comments of this Mac window" doesn´t show when it is called. In addition, the button of the substitution of Apple ban on which they consider unreliable applications (i. e.  those not manufactured by Apple or not using the iTunes channel) is now gone and I won't unintentionally control I have in my computer. In this case, this means that I can't update latest version of Penny Fletcher of his useful Multimarkdown application.

  Yes! Microsoft never does such calls.

  It's a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one who has
  become very frequent lately. See

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you leave them in your computer, who knows what they were doing or where
  What confidential information they stole.

  So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
  immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

  2. after reinstallation of Windows, change all your passwords.
  especially one of the banks or other financial sites.

  Since they have perhaps installed a recorder of strikes, changing just your
  Passwords without first reinstalling Windows may not be good enough.

• I received 3 phone calls informing me that Windows Defender is hurting my computer and they will refund my money.

  * Original title: Windows Defender

  I received 3 phone calls informing me that Windows Defender is hurting my computer and they will refund my money. He also wants me to turn on my computer... I put him up until I can get the information... is it a hoax?  Thanks for any help...

  Hello

  Windows Defender is the antivirus integrated in Windows 8/8.1/10 and do NOT harm your computer.

  It protects your computer.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Here's the advice I give on this type of phone calls:

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

• Phone calls randomly on a Windows virus

  I got calls saying that my Windows is infected with a virus and they want to guide me through the 'fixing '.  I did not do what I'm suspicious of the call random people (who do not speak English) and telling me they KNOW these things.  I just bought a new computer with Windows 8 on 31 Oct and have not seen any problems.  Should I be concerned about those phone calls?

  Hello

  There is no available free and legal Vista download

  you will need to do a clean install of vista

  Here are the different ways to obtain and use vista media

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

• Phone call about Windows

  I just got a strange call from a man in 253-820-3089, saying: "we get messages from your Windows computer."  I refused to give information, and he said he could come home with me tomorrow and get that info.  Is this a new type of fraud committed?  I've never heard of it.

  Hi, JoannZ_512,

  It's a scam known-

  This devious criminal practice is known as the phone phishing: phone phishing - "your computer has a virus" MowGreen Update Services - consumer safety

  Never give out personal information of any kind.

  Hang up and call the police

• anyone receive calls from computer warnings Windows Rep.about?

  said he went to Microsoft Windows on my computer made me do a start and assumed he was of Winow. Said I had a lot of problems and had to go through and the next thing there is a page, and it was all the mistakes, said there could be charges and came with 559 dollars. I refused and close the info. Says he will call again to conform to i chage my mind... it's my first time here.

  This is the second time iI received this call. People I spoke were East Indian, says it is Microsoft Windos > that's familiar to anyone else?

  It is a fairly common scam.  From what I've seen, he seems to be more prevalent in the United Kingdom.

  The right answer is to hang up if someone says that he or she "is to Microsoft."  Microsoft is never the unsolicited calls to Windows users.

  In no case allow any such appellant to have access to your computer and don't provide any personal information, including credit card information.

  You can also get a phone number on which you can recall and then report the incident to your local police.

• Phone call about problems with the 315-633-3442 for scam program windows?

  Calls - call display unknown name showed & number.  Said I was outside and I could take a message :)

  They wanted to solve a problem with windows, when I called them back.

  I asked for her phone number - 315-633-3442

  Gave them no information - but they didn't know my name.

  Feels like a scam...

  Thank you

  If someone * COLD * you called and told me * you * you have problems - this is a scam.

  If you called someone and they later called you back - less likely to be a scam.
