• Muse of update and changes made to the homepage now get this error... error message by calling the selection function: security error: cannot read the iframe content of html document

  Changes made on my homepage and it looks a lot like the preview in the browser, but when I upload it to my server I get the below error message. Help, please!

  

  It is common for opening a locally implemented Web site containing social widgets or any other third part code to generate errors of security because it will be loaded in the browser using the file:// Protocol. When a site is presented as a preview of Muse (Muse or in the browser) or transferred to a hosting provider, it is served using the http:// (or https://) Protocol and security errors do not occur.

  Frequently, the code of third party that comes with using social widgets or any other things that rely on the third party and/or services code is not designed to work through the file:// Protocol.

  Recently had a phone call from an origin of the State of New York - the person identified as a Microsoft employee, and she warned me that my system was constantly sending through Microsoft error messages - asked me to press on "Control - Windows - R ' and other tasks... natch - I refused.

• I keep getting phone calls from people with heavy accents who say they call from microsoft and the need to check my computer because of all the error messages I'm supposed to be getting.is it real

  I continue to receive calls telephone of people with heavy accents who say they call Microsoft because of all tha error messages I'm supposed to be getting - which I don't get. I just got the phone with one and convinced him to remember on Friday at noon, Central time. He asked me to give him the remote control of my computer so that it can "fix." I can't believe its "real and he can't give me details about what the problems are." I wasn't about to let him have access to the computer I'm on right now because of his "unusual operating system and all the time and effort it took to get this set-up and at full load." I'll be at my weekend House when it calls Friday where I have a more conventional computer. Is this real or a hoax?

  SCAM.
  You have made the right choice. Do NOT give the scammer remote access, or your computer is "screwed".

  The next time the scammer call, hang UP.

• Received calls from Microsoft saying that I received error messages. I have phone #.

  Received phone call telling of Microsoft and they were receiving error messages. I have his phone number of caller ID.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  See you soon.

• Received a phone call from someone who said he could help me because his company had received the error messages from my computer - XINFINITY?

  So I recently received calls from this guy who claims to be with Microsoft Error Reporting service, but I thought something was fishy when he couldn't tell me anything specific on my computer, which he would be able to know right away. Also, he couldn't speak a lick of English, which makes it really difficult to understand what he wanted originally.
  He told me that he and his 'business' received my computer error messages, and that we should "follow the simple steps to get rid of these problems.
  He told me to go to the computer management console and find the 'filter' in the display options, but being an avid user of XP, I know there is no such thing.
  He then told me that it is an effect of a virus that "we need to follow the steps to get rid of. He directed me to the console to Run and had me type in this web address:
  'www.XINFINITY.WEBS.com '.
  So now, things get sketchy. A free host for a supposedly serious company? I do NOT.
  (Why he wanted me to use RUN to access a Web site, I have no idea, only adds to the superficiality...)
  I went on the site, which lo & behold, very professional. There are four links to download files .exe with weird as names:
  -' Ammyy v3"(AA_v3.exe)
  -' Ammyy v2"(AA_v2.exe)
  -"Croosloop" (CroosLoopSetup.exe)
  - and 'ShowMyPc"(ShowMyPC3105.exe)

  He said click on the first and hit. He said SAVE or CANCEL. Now, I'm not naïve or stupid or gullible, and I am computer illiterate.
  I smell something fishy here. Technical support does not call you about errors, you call them.
  Research in the comments left on their FREE site, I have seen that all FOUR were short and had similar spelling/grammar mistakes. Typical supported false reputation.
  I did a google search, barely found anything on this "business" and the guy hung up.
  This is the site that this guy directed me to: http://xinfinitytech.webs.com/quick-help/
  IM asking for any information about whether if it's a scam, an attempted theft of identity/data theft, an attempt to spread of the most recent virus, or some guy who tries to help. My gut tells me that it is one of the top three.
  ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

  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.

  No, Microsoft wouldn't you not solicited. Or they would know if errors exist on your
  computer. So that's the fraud or scams to get your money or worse to steal your identity.
