  I HAVE RECD CALL INDIAN CO. I HAVE SOLUTION, CLAIMING TO BE TECHNICIANS APPROVED WINDOW. TRIED TO CONNECT VIA THE WEBSITE LOGME123 AND AFTER HAVING RECEIVED WARNINGS ON THE WEB SITE OF GOOGLE, I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SCAM.

  These scam calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

  It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

  Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

  Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately.

• How to access the hard drive USB on E3000? Am I missing something?

  I have my router configuration fine to the internet, as well as the media server.  I can't understand how to access the hard drive of my laptop, however.  The manual says to put 192.168.1.1 in the field the address of windows Explorer, but it gives me just the 'Setup' page for the router.

  Am I missing something simple?  I use Windows XP.

  Click on start - go to start > Run/start search and type "\\192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press on enter and it should ask the user name and password, the user name and password, use "admin" all lower case, and then click Ok... Now you should be able to see your USB... You must make a right click on it and select "Map network drive" and check the Enable box and below click Finish... It will map the USB on your computer... Once done, you will be able to send and receive data from your computer to the USB...

  They are * not * Microsoft. This is a complete scam and one that has become very common these days. Do anything they tell you to do and hang up on them.

• I got a phone call from 'windows', saying that something was wrong with my computer. SCAM? The next time I uped PC there is something bad--much more slowly, etc..

  About a week or two ago, I received a call from someone who said it was the appeal of WINDOWS.  My PCwas work perfect, but I was told there were problems.

  I did not understand what problems he spoke and asked him if he had the right number.  He did not ask my number when I said that if I

  told him to send me a letterexplaining the problem, if something is wrong. Then, I clung to the top.  Is that what you received no other complaints like that?  The

  next time I used the PC, something is indeed wrong - it is very slow now.  I guess that Microsoft would call, not "windows".  In fact

  I do not believe that Microsoft would call either.  Is that what sounds like someone hacked into my PC or what? Thanks for any help.

  It was a scam and your hang up was wise. If you gave him no

• Qosmio - how to access the HARD drive?

  Hello
  the Qosmio G30 is completely 'dead' and I removed the two HARD drives.
  Anyone know how I could access the HARD disk without having to start the RAID... How could restore data by using the HARD drive as a USB device?

  Thank you
  Mike

  Hello

  You want to remove the internal HARD drive and want to connect it as external device using an external HARD drive enclosure?

  In this case you will need an external SATA USB controller because the Qosmio G30 supports SATA drives.

  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)

  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.

• I received a phone call from someone claiming that I had a virus

  I received a phone call from the India, claiming I had a virus, and it seems that I do... I followed the steps, they gave me, but I was unable to give them remote access to my computer (IE; take control). I found out because it is a scam.

  As they were unable to access remotely are they still able to access my personal information?

  And will install an antivirus on my computer to get rid of the virus known as I have now?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Looks like a scam. Please do not hear these calls. If they failed to take control of your computer, then there is no need to worry.

  I suggest that you download, install and run Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps to flush out the virus.

  I would also say that you used your main security software of Microsoft Security Essentials .
