  It is FAKE and SCAM, Microsoft will NEVER call you unless you request them to do so. It was SCAM on people who claim to be from Microsoft and saying that your PC is infected and does not and we'll fix it, if you pay certain amount:

• Microsoft has employees or contractors call peoples houses and make repair unsolicited requests?

  Recently I received two calls from people who say they work for windows saying that something is wrong with my computer.  The first guy ended up trying to sell me a package of protection.  The second guy who never had until now because I did not.  The question is this.  Microsoft has employees or contractors call peoples houses and make repair unsolicited requests?  This question is not to accuse Microsoft anything, but is designed to help me decide if these calls come from someone with no connection to Microsoft trying to take advantage of me.  Thank you.

  No, Microsoft did not do. It's a scam and with various
  the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common these days. 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. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
  financial sites.

  Have you tried a forced reboot? Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it rises. You won't lose anything.

• When you try to install call of duty 2 on windows 7 64 bit, I received "library not registered".

• Error "Library not registered" and "access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000 "while trying to play Call of Duty 2 on Windows 7 64 bit

  Original title: Call of Duty 2 on windows 7: first window said: library not registered. After a minute, seven or more pop-up windows to say the same thing: access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000

  I tried to play Call Of Duty 2 on windows 7 64 premium.  After installation, if I choose to click on the shortcut on the desktop, it keeps invites me to insert the correct CD in the drive.  That right is already in the drive.  If I have the game from the CD autorun, it invites library not registered.  Then opens upward of seven windows or more with the same message: access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000.  the map system, game and video have all been updated and installed the latest patch for Call of Duty 2.  The funky thing is, if I use the fix offered for Vista I can get the multiplayer game to work, but the single player mode is still inaccessible.  I tried changing the compatibility, tried to use the option of windows XP mode and tried to open it in a new window and ran it under administrator.  nothing has worked, suggestions?

  I have thought about it myself, do what I tried above and activate the function of compatibility with Windows Vista service pack 2.  If you do not know the fix vista, click Start, Control Panel, hardware and sound, click sound, and then click the recording TAB.  Right click on a space in the tab itself, when see her disable devices is displayed click on to show them.  stereo mix is show in the tab, right click on that and turn on.  Only, remember, insert the CD, do not autorun installation just right click on the icon setup on the CD itself and open a new window.  run as administrator and install.  After that, go ahead and install the latest version of Patch 1.3 for Call of Duty 2.  When all is said and done don't forget to change the compatibility mode to Windows Vista service Pack 2. Note to Microsoft: Windows XP mode is a great idea, except that you dropped the ball twice, #1 - should have a version of it to support windows 7 Edition home premium for topics such as this for the public #2 - you must enable a way to get the video settings within the windows XP mode , in short to make a windows operating system that will play a game out there that has already been done to PC.

• Error when you try to use VoIPBuster to place VoIP calls: Client for VoIP calls has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem.

  Client to make VoIP calls

  I recently started having problems, make VoIP calls from my computer.  I use VoIP Busters (and using it for a few years without any problems).  Evertime I try to call the destination phone rings a couple of times and then stop.  The next thing that happens is an error message that says: "Client for VoIP calls has stopped working.  Windows is checking for a solution to the problem.  It is followed by another screen that says: "a problem caused blocking the program working properly."  Windows will close the program and inform you is a solution available. "  Nothing happens.  How to overcome this problem.

  I finally had to resort to the re-installation of Windows.  This solves the problem.  But don't forget to back up your computer and email address / addresses before you do.

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

  It was a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one who has
  become very frequent lately. Microsoft never makes unsolicited calls
  clients.

• Received a call from the scam making pretend to be Windows technician

  Original title: the license expires

  Received a call today by a technician from Windows indicating they received the error messages from my computer and that my IP address has been disconnected.  I bought my computer in 2004 and never received any notice.  He said that some of my programs may stop working if I did not renew the license.  My question is - is - it a legal representative of Windows or just someone trying to sell a product?

  (1) "licensing" do not expire.

  (2) no MS gets your computer error messages. In fact, they would have no way of knowing something about you.

  (3) it is not a representative of Windows. Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls.

  (4) it is a well known scam talked again and again in these forums.

  (5) they do not sell anything. They want access to your computer and your credit card. You know what's going to happen.

• Windows calling people at home and telling them that they have a problem and they will guide them through fixing it

  Got a call this morning asked them to remember.  Is this really windows calls or just another scam

  Too right, I got a call telling me that my computer sends a signal any or information to Microsoft.  The person told me that I needed to give him permission to take control of my computer to solve the problem.  Telephone number presented themselves as unavailable on my caller ID.  I told him that I didn't believe him and that my security program showed no problems.  I hung up on him.  I do not provide any information.
