• How to allow another access to the computer through firewall

  How to enable another computer game acess my fire wall

  Hi Roy,

  If you are using Windows Firewall, the last item in this article shows you how to open a port in the firewall to allow access: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Firewall-frequently-asked-questions.

  For more information, see the following: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722062 (WS.10) .aspx.

  It may be more than just the firewall.  You need to allow remote access (in control panel / system / remote settings / Remote Access) and Remote Desktop (same place, but just below).

  Here is an article on the remote desktop for Vista: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Remote-Desktop-Connection-frequently-asked-questions (because I do not know your operating system - you can perform a search Bing for office remotely for your operating system to find something similar).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  I got a phone call today saying they were Microsoft and for me to turn on my computer because what they saw in the error message in the sent reports that I have problems with my computer.

• LogMeIn scam - I fell for it and they have remote access for about 10 minutes

  Unfortunately, I DID it!  Now, I really really need to know how my system is safe?  I didn't delete anything, but they have remote for about 10 minutes.  Can't believe I was so stupid.  Usually when I see a no retained on the phone my antennae is double alert, especially in the late afternoon because of the time difference.  I rang Microsoft in Dublin that patched me through to a guy who said that these Indian guys are after having sold an antivirus software and not pirates.  But how do I know?  I changed passwords on the number of computer and PIN for the Bank etc. but I've never had this happen before and I'm stuck at halfway in the Atlantic with no backup.  I'd like to get some comfort please?

  Unfortunately, you did * that *? Did you leave some calling that claimed to be from Microsoft on your computer. If so, the risk is very great. They may have installed malicious software, stolen passwords, etc.

  I strongly recommend that you immediately reinstall Windows and change all your passords, particularly those of financial institutions, online shopping, etc.

• Allow remote access to the VPN Cisco ASDM

  Hello

  I am trying to access asdm Setup for the user remote vpn. Our ASA running version 9.1 (1). ASDM is running version 7.1 (1) 52

  I have apart from the interface within the interface enabled for vpn tunnel and I use 3rd interface (asdm_inf) dedicated to this purpose.

  In the asdm, I enabled the management to asdm_inf interface. In the section ASDM, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH, I also add ASDM/HTTPS(port 444) for asdm_inf, ip_address 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0.

  However, when I connect to the vpn client and try https://asdm_inf:444, the connection is broken with timeout.

  Where could I go wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, split tunnel is incorrect, you are tunneling to 172.16.66.0/24, while your BFD which you want to manage the ASDM to is 192.168.244.0/24, so the ACL split tunnel should also 192.168.244.0/24 network.

• remote access to the computer that is connected to a router wireless

  Hello Forum members

  I have a 4-port/router set-up wireless (compatible VPN) in the office.

  3 PC (Windows 7 Pro) is connected to a router (wired connection).

  1 VOIP adapter is connected to a router (wired connection).

  1 PC (Windows XP Pro SP3) is connected to a router (Wi - Fi).

  When I'm on the field, I need to access these devices via VPN. I can access 3 PC (connecting to the wired router) via VPN.

  However, I can not connect to a PC (wireless connection to the router) via VPN.

  Could you please tell me how I can access this PC (wireless connection to the router) via VPN?

  This PC (Windows XP Pro SP3) seems to need further adjustments under Windows Service.

  Thank you.

• Is the phone call received requesting remote access to solve the problem under Windows a scam?

  I received a phone call requesting remote access to my computer to solve a problem with Microsoft Windows more precisely line X 5.  The call came from Salt Lake City Utah, phone number 801-839-2099.

  I got this phone call once a week.

  Is it a scam?

  It's a scam.  Next time you receive such a call, tell the caller you declare calls to the police as harassment for fraudulent purposes... maybe they'll leave the call.

• Can I have fallen for a scam of phone

  Separated from this thread.

  I think someone made a scam and use of microsoft windows as there is a way to enter your House.  I need to know if it's a scam. I got a cal from windows telling me the last 2 weeks my computer has een get a virus and will break unless a representative of your company out to solve the problem.  They even had my home.  My computer works well and still be notified if there is an alert any.  Help!

  27 January 2015, I received a call also say my computer is having problems and if I didn't remove the unwanted files all my free space would be used upwards. Because I'm having problems and need to get my Web page all the time and I report my problems to Microsoft, I thought that's why they called me. They won the remote access and my date of birth and credit card information.  I answered security questions and my answers have been modified remotely to transfer Western Union funds immediately, I hung up the phone and shut down my computer. I wasn't able to get back on the computer because I've accessed remotely. I called the Bank and then Microsoft to report the scam. They helped me change my password. I then took my computer to Best Buy Geek Squad to see if something has been downloaded. Fortunately, it was OK.

• Remote access under Vista Home Premium computer

  All the instructions I've seen for remote access to my computer layout calls for a different Version of Windows. I find it a bit of a rip off. At the time where the user had a little more control of his machine, if he had the guts to try, you could always find a workaround or solution to another way to accomplish the task.

  I wonder: is there a fix for this problem?

  I am taking my current office in the Brazil and by setting up there. I wish I can access it from the United States and the thought that I could put in place so I could do. But I don't want to upgrade to another version of windows on it. I'll try to access using a laptop running Windows 7. can someone help me with this problem?

  Thank you very much for your answers.

  It is a Forum of Vista.  To Windows7 questions, you need to republish your question in the Forums Widows7: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 where someone who specializes in issues of Windows7 and procedures will be more than happy to help you with your problem.  It is possible that your computer in the States works under Vista, but the computer controlling the process is the initiating access and that is why you need to post on the forums of Windows7 (although you will certainly also have to make some changes to your computer in the States to allow remote access works correctly).

  In the meantime, here is an article that applies to both Vista and Windows7 that could help with the basics: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/.  I do not know thay will tell you more and better in the other forum.  BTW, I have no idea if Windows7 supports remote access or remote with antyihing desktop - other than the Windows operating system, but you can ask in the other forum.  I suggest to use the network, Email and online Forum here because it is above all a network problem.

  Good luck!

• Hoax call on notifications about a virus tries to hijack your computer and ask for help to remove the files?

  OT: security.

  Dear community,

  Did anyone out there contacted by "windows" say you they receive notifications about a virus tries to hijack your computer and ask for help to remove the files? Initially, it was an area code 855, but now the number is unavailable. I get a lot of calls.

  any help would be appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Here are the tips that we regularly give the posters who receive these types of calls:

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  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.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  See you soon.

• External access to my computer by some for people with problems to which they feel may be due to a problem of Microsoft.

  In February, I received a phone call announcing that he was a Department of Windows software specializes in the examination of the problems I could be hard and try to find solutions.  Asked me, after a long sales pitch, go to my computer and with them, find a few concerns I had with.  This resulted in giving them access to my keyboard and the computer.  They responded by showing some recent files in which there was a record of the unknown parties and their attempts.

  Once a land sale noted that they could solve these problems on this computer and on two other computers in my house for the sum of $350 per year. It sounded attractive and I "bit". Over the next few days, I could see the activity, but in some cases, the problem worsened. The second day an additional $ 250 has been asked and I foolishly allowed.  However, a week later had flown two additional transactions of $350 and $250 on my account.  I immediately went to my Bank to start a process to stop the payment of these fees and to investigate their origin.

  Since then I have received many calls, trying to make me to authorize their making more work.  I refused to play this game.,.

  What I'm trying to determine is if their access to my pc and access to private definitely files blocked?

  Thanks for any help.

  The damage is already done.  It is never a good idea to allow remote access.  At first I would run a malware scan with malwarebytes.  If you have financial information on computers I would you banks and change your passwords

  The only way to ensure that you are not infected, is to re - install the operating system after a format.  Otherwise, we have no way of knowing what they were doing to computers.

  They already have you credit card numbers.

  In short, there is no way to block them without the re - install and it's kind of closing the barn door after the horse has disappeared.

  Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
  Update immediately.
  Do a full scan of the system
  Let us know the results at the end.
