  I'm just an e-mail informing me that Hotmail is the upgrade of their database and to continue with my account that I have to fill in my name, password and the countries at the bottom and then press on answer.  Is this valid? It is the first time I noticed it, and he only appeared on one of three email accounts I have with hotmail.  In addition, there the hotmail logo and brand.  Of course, they would know that I have been active.  I use my emails ALL THE TIME!  He also told me that it is a FINAL OPINION.

  PS for several months, I received a LOT of emails indicating that he has money waiting for me of the FBI, of priests, officials, and the list goes.  I have notified the FBI and I scored on several occasions messages as phishing scams, but I still get them.  Help!

  SCAM PHISHING OR ANY PHISHING SCAM?

  Phishing. You are correct in your suspicions. The key word here is the password. No legitimate request will ask for your password if you are prompted to connect to your account, make absolutely sure that the site that you log in to the site that is associated with your account.

  You neglected to provide details on what you use for your email, but if it's Outlook then tighten your Junk E-mail settings and possibly make a few rules of your choice. If your e-mail account is simply flooded with spam, consider changing to a new account and throw the old one.

• Scam Messages sent to my email account but not of anyone using my computer?

  Hi when I accessed my email account this morning I noticed that I had a lot of delivery failure messages. Regarding the investigations into the reason why, I thought that an unknown person had somehow sent an email to everyone in my contacts list. When I checked my "sent" message box there is no trace on the e-mail. I have run Norton 360 on my laptop and it did not find any virus. I changed my password. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  Original title: Virus

  What anti-virus program do you use?  If you do not, or if it is outdated, because you have not paid for a subscription, I would suggest you uninstall and install Microsoft Security Essentials free instead.  It updates everyday, but never requires a subscription or payment, and it's free.

• is this real or a phishing scam?

  I received several emails from the "Microsoft account team" asking I have check a code to access my account.  I didn't ask this information - this is a phishing scam?

  Hello

  Its a SCAM!

  In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
  Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.

  The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
  (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
  (BJA).

  No, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
  on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
  identity.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
  phone calls to help you fix your computer

• I constantly get this pop-up a windows version Installer.

  Original title: Windows Installer Version seeks really fishy...

  So I constantly get this pop-up an installer for the windows version, and I really think it's fishy. I think that maybe it's a virus. Is this the case?

  My computer has windows 8 btw.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Here is a screenshot

  I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software. The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software. http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• connecting the iphone 6 with the Mac Pro for messages

  My iPhone 6 is not bind properly with my Mac Pro for Messages.  When sending a message from the Mac Pro, the message will be displayed on the iPhone immediately, but this is not always appear as "sent" or "delivered" on the Mac; It just shows an incomplete treatment green line at the top of the message on the Mac bar.  This occurs only with SMS messages.

  I followed the instructions to connect the two devices using my Yahoo account, but it still does not work properly.

  Any ideas?

  Make sure that your iPhone software is up-to-date.

  Tap Settings > general > software update

  The latest iOS version is 9.3.4.

• I've recently updated my firefox to my laptop. No longer can I do a search with Google without getting a message that the address of the site/is not secure. How to cancel?

  I've recently updated my firefox to my laptop. No longer can I do a search with Google without getting a message that the address of the site/is not secure. How to cancel? The only search that allows me to see whatever it is is Yahoo that I prefer not to use. In addition, I have to click through a series of tabs to make sure that I know that Yahoo does not feel that the site is secure before it connects. I must tell you that I have strongly dislikes this upgrade and want to return to the old Firefox.

  You have posted in a forum for MSE, antivirus, antimalware application.  You must investigate e-mail options... providers (hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc) screen several e-mail for spam.  You don't have not yet described here your email client... so there is little that anyone can tell you that generic advice.
