Defender went down, and then I had to pay to activate it. Was it a scam

Hello

Over the weekend, I also had this Code for my window Defender. I could not activate or log in my Security Center. So I had to pay Itechbilling.com 79,95 usd / http://SPRTGW.COM

I had this personal activation key number you: 7782-3688-7482-3641 , but it worked eventually.

But could not have control as Admin permission or Security Center, I had no right to. So I rebooted it.

Was - a scam I paid for... I thought that the Defender is free

  • Qosmio F60 - controller NVIDIA went down and recovered

    Hello

    Recently I was faced with a lot of problems with a device controller NVIDIA. Especially when I play a video game, but sometimes even in the internet, the screen goes black suddenly, for less than a second and it's back as it was (except when I play a game, in which the screen remains with strong colors, like all purple, green or red...). Usually when this happenns a message appears at the bottom right corner of the screen saying that NVIDIA controller went down and recovered.

    It is, he is always interrupt my work or my game, and I am sometimes forced to shut down the computer.

    Anyone? :)

    You use the original display driver Toshiba?
    I have the Satellite P500 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M domestic and I noticed the same issue maybe twice so far. For my work, I use three different browsers, Office word and Excel and a few applications running in the background. In other words, nothing special.

    When he arrives, I can continue my work so I t understand why do you have to restart your laptop.

    To be honest I don't know why this happens, and the question is: what you can do about it? Not many I think.

    Is the last driver installed n your Qosmio laptop display?

  • During BIOS update by Satellite Pro A60 went down and did not start

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and I've updated the bios. To halfway the update, my laptop came down and started Hasna´t since. It only give a couple of beeps (trying to tell me the bios is damaged, I guess) and turns off again.

    Tried to start with (~) key pressed (a tip I received from a friend), but without success.

    I live in a country where there is no available Toshiba dealer and I rather not ship the laptop for repair.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    This doesn't sound good.
    If during the POST, the BIOS detects a problem, it will normally display an error message visual on the monitor explaining what the problem is. However, if a problem is detected before it initializes BIOS video card or a video card is not present or not detected then BIOS will play through the Speaker beeps to let you know there is a problem.
    Depending on the type of BIOS you have the BIOS can play beeps in a specific pattern to indicate what the problem is, or emits the signal even a few times indicating the problem.

    In your case, it is possible to s you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS procedure. Both can damage the motherboard.
    To avoid such damage and mistakes, Toshiba published FAQ document.
    How to upgrade the BIOS on most of the units!

    That you should read before making updates to the BIOS!
    Unfortunately, I n t think that you can fix yourself. I think you should ask to help ASP.

    Hi, manual

    Believe me, according to your explanation, that it is not easy to say exactly what is happening. In my opinion, just an intensive audit can train with a few explanations.

    Is that your permanent unit connect to the AC adapter when this happens?
    Is the monitor off feature enabled in the power manager?

    On this path, it is not easy to tell what's happening.

  • When I open Firefox > download box, I can control my scroll down, and then all of a sudden it will blast thru my files... How can I stop this from happening?

    When I open the file Downlad box in Firefox (v28) and asks me to select a file to download... as I click to scroll down the download file box things work well... then all of a sudden things scroll down (fast) at the bottom of the download file by itself.

    How can I stop this from happening?

    Thank you

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
  • Update KB2447568 automatically installed on my two computers. Had to do a restore afterwards as url IE8 line always came in white (compared to my google home page) and then I had to use the Task Manager to close IE8.

    On each laptop OS is Vista Home Premium.  All updates, in the past, have been installed without problem.  Anti virus is Norton 360 on each PC.  Never had a problem until now, with an update.  I would like to install the update that is referenced, but it completely disables IE8.  Any suggestions on how to fix would be appreciated.

    See http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Internet-Explorer-8-quot-not-responding-quot-when-symantec/m-p/332499#M136282 [applies to N360 and other applications Norton]

    Manually & repeatedly update Norton 360 via LiveUpdate (or smart update) until you get a "not more than updated" or similar prompt.

    Then reinstall KB2447568, if necessary.

    TIP: Never, EVER to use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot.  If that does not resolve the problem, then try System Restore.

  • I got a phone call from a guy who said he was with Microsoft and that someone had linked in my computer. Is it a scam?

    I got a phone call from one of the related foreign accent that he was with Microsoft Security and that my computer has been used or something to that effect.

    I could hardly understand him.  Is this another scam floating around?   What should I do to report this?

    Thank you

    Short answer: Yes. It is a scam. Not much interest to report, as MS are well aware of this problem, but there is little they can do about it since then (I guess) most of the calls are created outside the United States

  • Enter the file - new private window, FF opens the new window and then immediately returns to the window this request was made of

    Press file - new private window, FF new window (non-private) for about 5 seconds, then returns immediately to the window that asked the new private window. This occurs on three different machines at my place, all with Win 7.

    This can be caused by a plugin like Flash that uses the plugin-container in one of the tabs in this window to another.

  • My valid copy of Windows Vista Edition full is telling that it is not authentic and that I have to pay to activate it.

    I have a legitimate copy of windows in my hand with 2 CD case then why must I activate the same windows product, I had on my computer for 2 years. First of all I did not change any material in my computer so you can't use that excuse. I bought so many windows products since windows 3.1 to windows 98 for the Millennium of the window, xp home and professional and vista ultimate and now you say I have to buy a new copy. I can't believe this. I'm so angry. Go ahead and treat me like that. Just because you have the money and have the market you don't think I'm capable of anything, it's fraud and ripping off a consumer and you know. You have no reason for me to activate my windows again. It's like the 3 times on the same computer ruined. I does not change a single piece of hardware, and you want to deny my activation. all I know is that better, solve you the problem. It's so bad. If I lose my personal accounts and subscriptions I pay online because my windows is not working properly you're going to pay for them.

    original title: what's your problem guys.

    According to the statement of 'Authentic' is concerned, be aware that any system that has not been activated (i.e. within the "grace period" will show as authentic except another problem.

    You should also check that the word "Authorized" appears in the 'License' tab, under the license status.
