• I received recent phone calls from someone who says they are with Microsoft

  I received phone calls recently from a person saying they are with Microsoft and that my computer has been downloading unnecessary files.  They claim they know because the error and warning messages are sent to the Inbox of Microsofts.  I am reluctant to talk more with them.

  How can I be sure of who's calling?  In addition, if it is true, how can I check my computer?

  Hello

  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.

  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 get calls from a company that says they are MS, is - a scam?

  I get calls from a company that says they are Ms.  (last 4 times) they said that my computer reports that I get errors, and they want to use the observer for the team to go into my computer and help me. Is it a scam?

  Hello Margaux.730,

  Yes, it's a scam. Do not give them access to your PC, they will try to steal personal data such as bank details etc. When they call again just tell them you don't have a PC or simply hung up. Never provide personal details or credit card number because they are also after the money too.

  Unless you have a prepaid contract or have opened a support ticket no Microsoft will call you about your PC problems.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Remote site will not show the local updates although CS5 says they are successful?

  Hi, local changes I save and put it in Dreamweaver are not displayed on my site online. My server connection works, Dreamweaver says they are successful, the changes appear when I preview them in Dreamweaver, I tried both update a single page and throughout the site, and I tried to transfer files manually using FileZilla. No idea how I can get my remote site to update?

  Using CS5, using SFTP (host site says to use SFTP), OS is Windows 7, using GoDaddy to get a custom url that redirects to a different host site.

  Are you sure you are uploading to the correct location?

  I've seen it happen where people accidentally put up their site in DW with an additional and unnecessary directory level. Uusually called htdocs, bands or public thought they need to duplicate the folder root of the web server. When they try to download in their folder root on the server the additional directory is copied on as well, so instead of finding your page to...

  www.yoursite.com/index.html

  He's going to...

  www.yoursite.com/public (or htdocs or webs) / index.html

  EDIT: The fact that DW and Filezilla are apparently download but page is in some sort not updating could also be a cache problem simple browser. Clear the cache of your browser and see if updates made.

• When you click on all programs more say they are empty.

  Don't know what my kids did to our Windows XP laptop, but all the icons disappeared and when you click on all programs more say they are empty. I was wondering how I can return my games included with Windows for example.  I went on the Panel & clicked on add components, Accessories & utilities.  All I went to games on the internet.  No spiders, hearts, free cell, etc.

• Calls from 661-748-0240 saying they are Microsoft?

  On 29 October 2013 approximately 11:00, I got a call from this number: 661-748-0240.

  The person at the other end are identified as a Microsoft employee, they also gave me his name (which I don't remember).

  They said that Microsoft has gotten more than 500 messages from my computer in the last 5 days saying there was an error on my computer if it has not been corrected within 15 days, they would have to force a restart / reinstall on my PC remotely to get rid of the errors / hack / virus. They said that they would not have to do this because I would lose all data on my PC if it happened. He reminded me that they did this about 18 months ago.

  I told them I had partitions and had that concern, he insisted that I would lose all data? He said it would have cost me about $2000.00 for data recovery, and that is why they would not have to force a reinstall on my PC remotely. He said something to be official Microsoft employees again and how he knows it if it wasn't.

  Despite the indicators are going in my head I always I was tied it and went to this page to download an e-mail program:

  https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/customer/code.aspx

  He had me to enter the security code: 485801 (this code no longer works).

  They used this messenger programme connect and access my PC remotely:

  Support - LogMeInRescue.exe (blue circle with a white cross in the middle of an icon)

  With the e-mail program a John M? resumed and they asked for Remoting and I gave it to him by ignorance. He sought my logs of errors and could not have access. The error logs were not on.

  I fell that there is 18 months (as mentioned above) and paid the money on my credit card, I don't know how. They used an aggressive remote registry tool that destroyed my PC and I've sat and watched as they did. I had to do a total reinstall (I didn't lose access to my other partitions with total reinstallation, I also two other OS on my PC for all these questions).

  This time they were saying the same thing and access remotely. I almost fell for it again. I give them access remote questioning why they needed to do. But once they asked for money again, I thought that it is a scam.

  They gave me two options one a time event for $99.00 or a term of two years for $199.00.

  I told them that I don't have any money right now, what is true, and I would call them back. They stopped the remote access and gave me this number to remember: 1-855-306-9026 this number is a "United Tech Support', supposed to be used by many institutions, including Microsoft to manage the various issues.

  http://unitedtechsupports.com

  A search on this number gives sites where people mention that there are a lot of people different scams have received this number and it is used by cyber criminals.

  I want Microsoft to comment on calls from this number, they had to take care of this issue before.

  Please let us know if it is a scam (which I can hardly imagine what isn't) or not. And what I should have let them through ignorance have remote access to my PC.

  Deeply concerned about questions like that.

  John

  Its a scam - http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  If you receive a call as let them NEVER can visit his profile and NEVER give them any information or money.

  Just to be safe, at least, if they have access to your computer, it should update your anti-virus package and running a scan completes, then download, install, update and run a scan complete with free Malwarebytes. Change the passwords you use esp and e-mail online banking accounts, etc.
