E-mail and unexpected visit stating that my computer is vulnerable
I had an unexpected visit, pretending to be technical support from Microsoft, saying my P.C. Is out of warranty, so they are smarter to go on my computer, chat with windows live, send us a phony fax that asks me to ask a credit card info and someone claiming to be from Microsoft comes to my house and say I have a virus on my computer? What is a genuene?
Of course, it is NOT authentic.
Microsoft does not knock at your door.
Don't fall for SCAMS.

How to print a document all e-mail and not a 'screenshot' that I get in the option Print Preview. I would like to print "file" "as I can on other browsers (IE, for example). When I try to print from Firefox it catches all my info (shirts, etc.) from the left side of the page. I need only e-mail information, not information of the entire screen. Thank you!

I had the same problem at first. You open the e-mail as usual. And then in the Actions drop-down list box, you select the print option. This has worked for me and printed the actual e-mail only.

Mirco soft tech?
My wife received a call from someone who said they were from mirco soft and said the computer was they infected taked here in running a scan, which means it had the remote control of the computer, they took to a site web that wanted to sell a product to fix any info staff received a disconnected i line my question could they have obtained information from my computer and should I checked it by a technician of service to make sure.Jackson DonnaWoods Hello,
It is a scam.
Unless you have a contract to support prepaid with Microsoft, Microsoft doesn't call you, email you, or snail mail you about problems with your PC.
I would certainly follow the advice of John John, because we do not know what happened when your wife has visited the Web site. By the way, I suggest you also change your password, sign in to your office computer and passwords associated with banking online, networking sites etc..
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts. I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages. Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component. When I try to catch the separator bar to go back to the left, only half of the small arrow icon and line appears, and it cannot be moved. Can open the message by double clicking a message viewer.
Hi there, alicefrompa!
Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. From your post, I understand that you do not see the Message Viewer box which allows you to read your e-mails; only see you the Inbox that includes a brief overview of the message and are unable to restore access using the separator bars. I have had this happen to my own Mail app and am happy to let you know how I could fix!
You are really on the right track - you want to roll your mouse over the divider between the Inbox and sections Message Viewer (which should now be on the extreme right edge of your mail window) and drag it to the left. When you click on the receipt/Message Viewer box, the cursor turns into a line continuous black with a single arrow pointing to the left. When you see the cursor change, click with the left button of the mouse and (while holding down the mouse button in) drag the combination line / arrow to the left. You may need to drag a little further than before to get it. I had to hang mine almost completely in the middle of my Mail app before the display of the message box appeared.
From there, you should be able to adjust the boxes to your widths you want as expected.
If you are still not able to get the display of the messages visible after have try this, here are a few more things that you can do.
- Press command + O on your keyboard.
- Exit the Mail application, and then press on and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening.
- Restart your Mac by selecting the menu Apple in the upper right of your screen restart from the menu drop down.
See you soon!

I am in yahoo mail and there is a window that has the windows displayed and I can click on one of the images of a window and it will restore the window how to access this window (size full one who possesses a collection of previous windows in a complete graph/no format)?
The window that I write the topic is a collection of previous windows images in a smaller size.Firefox has a feature to view all your open tabs in one or more groups of tabs. You can show and hide this screen by pressing Ctrl + Shift + e. Is this the one you see, or something different?
If you ended up with more than a group of tabs and you want to consolidate them, you can drag the thumbnail images all in one group.
More information: use tab groups to organize a large number of tabs.

I usually 30 tabs open, and memory rises in an unexpected way, so that when it reaches 1.2 GB, firefox crashes. Also if, for example firefox consumes 700 MB of memory (with lots of tabs open), and if I close the tabs and let just 2 or 3 open, the memory usage does not go down and left to the 700 MB. Thank you for your attention. Cordially, Ricardo
