my laptop has been running a little slow on the internet, but I assumed it was because of the age of the computer?any help thank you gratefully received chrisFake phone calls to technical support
You did the right thing.
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.
Please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .
Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.
These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

About 1 every month that I get a phone call from someone with a thick Indian accent who claims in the first place, it works for windows, when I ask whose windows he says its Microsoft Windows. It will then just telling me that my Windows program sends his Department mistakes and he wants to fix them... Several times I asked to speak to a Manager and he is responsible, he said, I asked him to send me something by mail and he never does, he says he wants to help me fix the errors now (My Microsoft windows is not telling me of all the errors), the first time that I received the phone call He wanted to access my computer remotely. I tried to call him after the call it has been rough for me, by dialing * 69 and the recording of the telephone company says it's a 'blocked' number, I asked for a number to call and he tells me that he wants to solve this problem now and won't remember. I asked where to call from and what state and he wants to argue about the fixing of these so-called errors which receives the "Ministry of Windows. This happens for about a year about once each month to a month and a half. I'm tired of his phone calls. Can someone advise me how to tell if it is a real Microsoft employee/Division # 1. can #2 someone please pass on to Microsoft management because if he tries to gain illegal access to my computer (hard to believe that he would call for more than a year if it was), it is probably fool other Customers of Microsoft (if it is not a real employee)... I have it has even said once the number is followed by the telephone company which will check for fraud, said, bring them... I asked for him not to call me more and he wants to argue about the correction of the errors until I hang up, then another month goes and I received another call... IS THERE SUCH A SERVICE IN INDIA? .... Please until I get to my end, can someone advise me what legal action can I take because I'm tired of receiving these phone calls from a person who just wants to argue.
It's a scam. Hang up the phone when you receive calls.

Remode Tech Support Mode WARNING
Hosts built with ESXi 4.1
VSphere 4.1
HA cluster
I enable SSH or "Remote Tech Support Mode" and I get a warning in vsphere saying "Remode Tech Support on the host has been activated" and a warning triangle yellow on the host that I can't recognize or reject)
I just want to see yellow or red for the things I want, but not for something I want! After that everything is very expensive, so I don't know why VMware tell us we can't get rid of this warning.
Is anyone able to get rid of this warning?
Thank you
Roger
There is a bit of an entire book on this thread - http://communities.vmware.com/message/1677306#1677306. You can submit a product for that suggestion if you really want it.

Mode locking ESXi and Tech Support Mode warning
I would like to be alerted if an ESXi host is not in the locked mode or allowed to TSM. We have more than 100 guests and sometimes, when these settings are enabled us not forget to return them. Someone did he write or know that an alert rules on this?
Thank you
Chris
It is not collected in the current version (vFoglight 6.6). It can be done with customization, creating a script agent who runs a PowerCLI script for example and fill the results in a dashboard.
I will pass this along feature request to product management to add the collection of Lockdown modes / Tech Support out of the box and also have an alert for it.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I have a serious technical problem but the tech support site says my windows product ID "expired" and I'm refused support. Why it says this and how can I still receive support? I use Vista Ultimate and it has been properly activated.
As soon as this stupid problem is the traffic, I would really spend my real problem... Constant BSOD.

If you have a preinstalled OEM Vista, DELL, HP, etc., you are not entitled to FREE Microsoft Support
all support comes from the manufacturer of your computer or you can ask these support Forums

How to check a company called Microsoft Support?
I keep getting phone calls from a company called support essential Microsoft technical support request. I paid for support over two years with a company, but I don't think it's the same company. In any case, the calling company says that they are part of Microsoft and they can update my security settings to keep hackers out of my network and keep someone who they say hacked into my network and sending offensive spam. It's for real? I live in the country and have no neighbors. How a person to hack my network? I have literally no neighbors within 2 miles.
Its a variant of this type of scam.

I have a new PC of Windows 8 with all the OS updates carried out. It was not long before the loading of the page on Internet Explorer took a minute (with messages frequent that the page was not answer and I wanted to get the Web page). The same was true for the launch of Windows Explorer to browse the folders on the computer. A quick look at the Device Manager revealed that the internal memory use was about 37% always, who initially does not sound an alarm for me (but it must be, I guess!). Meanwhile, there was nothing wrong with my broadband access - Ookla was speedtesting to almost 20 Mbps. I searched the web for answers - using search terms such as "fast and slow navigation broadband ' and permutations on this subject. There were a lot of hits - a lot of people have had this problem, but there is that none of the solutions proposed who worked for one of these people who ask the question (and solutions did not work for me - a commune was ' stop using IE - use Chrome instead! ") This has no effect). Norton Internet Security, Spybot, and MalwareBytes found no problem.
Finally, I took another look at Device Manager and reinforced with all the running processes. I noticed a strange thing - a process called "Microsoft Windows Backup" was running - and it was in the list of processes about 8 times. Some iterations were using up to 20% of available memory - others used none. I went through and started to kill these processes. At first, I just couldn't do enough quickly - they would reopen not almost as soon as I closed the. Finally, with lots of quick click, I killed all and none reopened. I went back to Internet Explorer - and found blazing fast page loading. My Windows Explorer was also back to normal - I was browsing directories at a good pace.
So the question is... WHY 'Microsoft Windows Backup' ran several times in Device Manager? Is it really 'Microsoft Windows Backup' or some malware masquerading as such? And if there is a problem with a backup context process, how can I make sure it is disabled and remains disabled?
Thank you!
1 way of working!
Historical files was already off, I had several instances of "Microsoft Windows backup" processes running and one of them would be 30 or 40 percent (he jumped of a process to another).
What is the process and why did start? (or was it always ongoing enforcement & suddenly become a CPU hog?)

Microsoft Windows Tech Support - fake phone call or not?
I got a phone call from someone who wanted typing me eventvwr and watch errors and warning signs - I did. I noticed that they were that all dated the previous day or just before the phone call. I was asked to have malicious bugs deleted by this PROVIDER of SUPPORT of MICROSOFT WINDOWS TECHINICAL for £79. The person says his name is Michael and his phone was quoted as 02034117907.
My virus package pick up any info - however, errorfix now has up to 3,000 privacy, whenever I use it's about 4 times a day.
Help please - does anyone know if the call was authentic or not and any ideas on the reasons of privacy now is off the scale!
Thank you

He is not a technician certified to Ms. It's a scam. No one would know if you had a virus on your computer.
