"Driver Detective" Microsoft partner? If so, is it a safe and reliable site?

Similar Questions

• Driver Detective seems to be a 'partner' of Microsoft. Anyone can verify this as fact? And is this a reliable site?

  Became 'nervous in the service' when I opened similar sites.  Of course, they offer to clean your PC problems; but they also - almost immediately - try to sell you something!  I'd appreciate a few 'war stories' on experince (s) with JJ.

  Anyone can be a Microsoft Partner, you can register your cat if you want... If you have a cat.  "Most Microsoft Partners are good ethical companies or individuals but any who can can all themselves as being a Microsoft Partner and in no way can depend on you as a consumer as proof of the legitimacy or competence of the ' touter '.

  As far as I am concerned the better most of these types of tools have very limited use, and at worst, they are perfectly useless borderline scams, I certainly wouldn't pay for any of them and I'd be suspicious of some or most of them.

  You're having problems with your computer?  What makes you think that you need to update your drivers?  Drivers rarely need to update, as a rule that you usually just update drivers to resolve specific problems, when it comes to the pilot the motto "if it ain't broke don't fix it' is a good one to follow.

  As long as these utilities that come with claims that they will be 'clean', tune and speed up your computer just stay away from them, most of them is that powder useless Perlimpinpin or outright scams and mostly they cause more harm that good, not just this kind of garbage on your computer.

  "Probably too late to help the OP, but for others: SpeedyPC Pro is a scam." It is also directly linked to their company of processing payments, "Safecart. Or what makes a mess to try to get a refund... based in the United States or repairs. It appears if you try unconsciously to e-mail an extremely large file or a search using terms such as "Slow PC", "lazy", "email does not load" etc etc. Lesson 1-NEVER buy software that appears magically when you encounter problems. Once it is downloaded, paid for (usually Paypal-to-Safecart), you are prompted to "activate" - requiring remote access to your PC. Lesson 2 - all unknown, no software support of brand person should NEVER be allowed to remotely... even large companies should be permitted only access controlled, usually stated in the user agreement (which is vital, reading for all software ' demanding' external/remote access. If the folders or files are missing, renamed, moved, etc. and you contact support, you will be asked again for remote access. It cannot. They will declare that only another support level is paid a pension (usually $ 300 or more, with the price down if waver you). Lesson 3 - garbage paid a pension. Then, when it's obvious that you're in trouble, you will want to remove - they help you with if you allow them ACCESS remotely!... Again, you MUST refuse. You can ask for instructions by email, that they will promise to send - and never go there. You can ask to speak to a supervisor and is put on hold - forever. You can remove the software - but it will leave little visible and several hidden files and folders you can not see, even if you check the box "Show hidden folders and files". You can do a restore of the system - same problem, all is not lost. In a recent situation, after several requests for the removal by e-mail instructions and insurance that they cannot yet a system once the software is "deleted", noted an activity external access. The computer was immediately put off. Lesson 4 - you can't fix it yourself. Bottom line - removal of this * requires a travel expert tech shop, where the hard disk will be deleted, * hopefully * critical files saved, the drive to clean up and the system rebooted from scratch. Not a cheap solution and the purchase price of $30 begin to cover the costs. Also, there is no way to go after them so many layers are involved. If you have never heard of him, cannot find any reviews by major players (Cnet and others) avoid like the plague. And if it's too late, have not only your deleted PC but again set all passwords (user names reset is also a good idea) and re - set the safety of your home or business network. (FWIW, the first site review said "SpeedyPC Pro Exposed?" - and is "comparepcsoftware.com, coincidentally belonged to the same company as SpeedyPC Pro.

  Hi, I have "1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure" made a backup, Gather I have to get another drive. How can I transfer my windows vista / files to new drive? Help, please.

  Hello

  There are different ways to do

  and these methods depend on your hard drive work

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning to move your operating system software from the old to the new drive hard If your old hard drive still works

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

  read the information below

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

  or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

  link below is an example of this:

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

  also to put your machine how you bought:

  1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

  You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new drive hard If the old drive still works

  ask the manufacturer of the machine how

  2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• No drive detected the 0141 error code 2000-0141 msg error code

  OK, we tried 'resettlement' the reader a couple of times but without success...

  And we carn can't actually test the drive on another computer laptop, so we are a bit stuck as computer repair shops can be expensive, but I have no choice to take there eventually, but for now, I'm just gain some knowledge on the subject

  My main concern, if the drive does not completely and permanently...

  That's what all the operating system, it was on a dell inspiron 1525 with a preinstalled operating system "vista ultimate".

  There is no backup of any type, I need some advice on this subject, because vista ultimate is pritty expensive and you really have to buy another copy of the operating system and install it on your new hard drive...

  After all, you've already paid for it...

  The laptops warranty has run out, so I guess there is no help from dell on this one there...

  Thanks for all your replies Chester/uk

  Ask their Dell recovery media.

  You cannot use a Toshiba Recovery disk on a Dell computer.

  And how could install Vista from a Windows 7 disc anyway!

  You can try this IF you know what you are doing:

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Received a call of 'Microsoft Partner' £100 to fix the virus csrss.exe eager...

  I received a call from Aishaz Tech informing me, I got the "csrss.exe"virus and that they could solve the problem for me for £100, which is the cost of the "Microsoft Tools" necessary to solve the problem.  They said that I not able to repair myself, nor anyone else would have had none of these tools and they are a Microsoft partner.  I run MS Windows 7 Home Preimium.  I didn't even notice that I had a problem.  There is only one version of crss.exe in the running task manager (although I can't open the file location) and I have had no other problems such as unexpected POPs Windows that other people with this virus are complaining about.

  How can I know that this is not just a scam to get 100 pounds of me?
  How can I know that I even the virus?
  How do they know I have the virus and where they got my phone number from?
  Is it also true that not even reformat the HARD drive and reinstall all the software from scratch can solve the problem?

  They asked me to use "Teamviewer" free software to enable them to take on my screen, showing me the 'evidence' that I got the virus csrss.exe by:
  (1) running msconfig and showing me that much Microsoft services in the Service tab have the status 'arrested '.  They said all Microsoft services in the Service tab are essential and must always be running - is this true?
  (2) they ran regedit and viewd under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SAFETY record, for which the data column says (value not set) and told me that it meant my anti-virus did not work (I use AVG Free, who says he runs and certainly seems to be analyzes all incoming e-mails).  Nobody knows what the data column should be in it?
  (3) they then looked at what is called prefetch, showed me loads of entries with numbers and no names of recognizable program or file which said, contained the virus.
  4 BACK), they ran a tree, sending loads of country names and other information too fast to read the screen, followed a sentence saying your antivirus software is out of date or does not work and an urgent need to be updated.  But I keep my AVG anti-virus updated software automatically.
  I don't know what to do and I am really worried about what they could do with my computer while they were back online.  Someone at - it good suggestions please?

  I don't know if Microsoft would take interest because they have themselves identified (many claim come / working on behalf of Microsoft/Windows).

  Your main course would be your local trading standards office find a letter enough to follow through is going to be extremely lucky.

  The Police has a role through the Central cybercrime Police Unit (info here, puts it's national) Although the report must be done locally and the same COMPUTER literacy issue may arise as to Trading Standards. Perhaps mention the group could wake up a local Plod that they should actually do something, but that you have not paid what was then a crime took place?

  > If I understand correctly, each disk Toshiba, there is a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator?

  That s not entirely correct!
  The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator creates the recovery disk! The recovery disk allows to recover the laptop using the drive and not the HARD drive recovery process!

  New portable Toshiba supports HARD drive recovery which allows to restore the laptop without the use of the recovery disc!

  Hello

  The drive is new and works fine in other systems and even works ok if I swap bays my P300-156, but the problem with this is that the drive does not fit in the other Bay, as it is quite thick. The player in question is a Samsung HM100UI 1 TB 2.5 "Sata. I also tried other readers in this Bay, and they work well too.

  I am using windows 7 ultimate and the Intel chipset drivers. It's an Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI controller, the 7.0.0.1013 driver version. Have tried different drivers and the AHCI/IDE mode. Also tried a new installation and the problem persists.

  Am at a loss why this disc problems is there anything else someone can suggest to try?

  Thanks in advance.

  This means that you had problems with the other drives in the second span?
  If Yes, then I guess some problem of compatibility between the P300 and the HARD drive
