Chat message received in Skype informing that my Windows registry needs update.
Last week a part of the conversation jumped upward in my Skype calls claiming that my Windows registry has been corrupted and needs to update. When you click on the URL - there is an offer to purchase a Windows hotfix for 19.95. Question is - this for real - I would have expected that any update of Windows would come through Microsoft directly via the update feature...
Please notify.
This contempt.
It's a SCAM.
Microsoft sells you NOT Windows "patches" on Skype!
The Net is full of scams.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

This may have been a "near miss". If that were the case, it's rather a warning, to the community, everyone has been invited to be updated, when none was required. It must be a good way to download some malware. Fortunately, I was busy so not answered at the request, but later attempted to upgrade in the usual way, to find that I have the latest version.
Please do not use the solution Fredmcd said, they are not secure and will result in unwanted software installed on your machine. the guests of In-product for update of Firefox are safe.

Free space on drive C - Windows XP Security takes a large amount of space.
Beachaven,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
How much space you show the updates of security take?
It is recommended to leave all the updates security installed and continue to keep your computer up-to-date with Windows Update. Remove these updates will make your computer vulnerable to malicious software. If you need to erase the disk space, I recommend to uninstall old programs that are no longer in use. You can also check the disk cleanup tool to see if you can free up of any space there.
· Click Start
· Click on all programs
· Click on Accessories
· Click on System Tools
· Click Disk Cleanup
· Check the boxes of files to remove
· Click OK
· Click on delete files
Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

New Skype - group not chat messages
Awhile back Skype had a big update. Since chat messages and then typed by one of the same person is grouped together make impossible to see which text belongs to what message.
before I could see a timestamp on each message, but the same user id now different messages of type 3 and press enter/send after each of them, they are all grouped under the same message.
Is there a way to disable this option?
Also, is it possible to disable the "chat bubbles" that the text is inside to leave only the text as in the previos versions?
If none of this is possible I would come down, but unfortunately to send photos of the oldest most recent client does not work.You can unnstall versions 7.0 and install the 6.21.0.104 precedent:
http://download.Skype.com/MSI/SkypeSetup_6.21.0.104.msi
Skype 6.21.0.104 version you will be able to receive online (Cloud-transferred) images of new versions of Skype, but to send images will still work the old way of P2P.

My current Firefox is version 9.0.1 update
"when I click on the"back"button after filling web form or make payment online etc, I can't go back to my homepage, if I press the BACK BUTTON (arrow) a message said.
"Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (for example, a search or order confirmation) that was carried out earlier.I don't want to re - order or repeat the process over. The only thing I can do is to leave Firefox and start again which is very painful.
Any solution will be appreciated.
Older Firefox had this coming message in case you have used the back to go to a page that is requested from the server with the POST data specific to a form previously sent.
You receive an alert to send POST data if you return to a page or refresh a page that was requested in advance from the server by submitting form via a (hidden) MESSAGE form data.
Firefox can only make sure to get the same page send this POST form.
Firefox doesn't know what it means shape data, so Firefox asks for confirmation before sending the form data so action can you take to repeat an action and buy another article or post a message once.
A way to prevent that pop up is not to use the back button, but to open the links on a page that have been requested from a server by sending a MESSAGE form in a new tab (window) with a middle click or a Ctrl + left click.
Then you can close the tab or window to go back. -

We would like to inform that your accοunt expires in 72 hours, it is important to perform a verification of your information from now on, otherwise you accοunt will be closed. Please click the link below. This is an email I received support to iTunes and I was wondering if I should do it
I would not click on any link without further investigation.
Is the link to an official source of Apple?
You have a web address or URL of the link that you can post here?
What happens when you go directly to AppleID or another connection site
where there is no doubt of the authenticity? • Apple is not usually give
you a countdown, so I think that the item that you see is a scam.
PS: If you had a trial subscription to Match iTunes or other item
You can check personally, or any other service you may already
charged, the way back to Apple should be a known to ask them.

Whenever I boot Windows XP (fully updated), I get a message saying that 'wasuoba.dll' is missing. I can't find any information what so ever on this .dll file any where. Help, please!
As I said, my Windows XP is fully updated. I get this error for a while now, so not sure what has caused it and when I started to do.
In general, I was ignorant, but recently my PC feels like it becomes less stable.I'm surprised that it returns no results on any search engine.

Assuming that your spelling is correct, your computer is probably infected by malicious software. Download, update and perform a quick scan with Malwarebytes.

Uninstall all Adobe products.

Restart the computer after / as required during the uninstall process.
Install all the Adobe products, you need to their web site. Probably should start just with Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player. -
