Expert Microsoft Tech Help? Is this true?

I received a call from Microsoft Tech of the Expert opinion. They guided me through my computer and showed me about 17 000 errors on my computer.  They have been listed as something WMI or event.  They are supposed to call me tomorrow to help me fix it. Can someone clarify this for me?

Thanks in advance

  • How can I disable & quot; Microsoft HTML Help Workshop & quot;?

    Greetings,

    First of all, what is "HTML help BugHunter"? Sounds good, so I let her without knowing what it is. Now, I get the following message is displayed:

    "HTML Help BugHunter cannot be activated while the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is running."

    Which brings me to my next question: what is Microsoft HTML Help Workshop? And more importantly, how can I disable it? I see nothing in HR help regarding this, an accurate description of what it is, or what is BugHunter.

    Frankly, I don't want anything to do with Microsoft running in all HR project of mine, especially a "Microsoft HTML Help Workshop" - this from the coarser junk code in the history of HTML generator.

    How can I turn off, off, off?

    Kind regards

    Hi Steven

    You run multiple instances of RoboHelp HTML? I ask because the only time I see these messages is when I open a second instance of RoboHelp HTML.

    Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is also known under the name of RDD. It's a free download from Microsoft, and it can be installed with RoboHelp. I think it contains the HTML Help compiler. So if you're trying to create Microsoft HTML Help (compiled. CHM format) of RoboHelp, it is imperative to use the Microsoft compiler for it.

    Not sure about anyway "turn off" other than not not to use a second instance of RoboHelp.

    Hello

    Its definitely a scam like GT4U said, if you have installed any program this session please uninstall them.

    Just for your safety, never let anyone connect remotely to your computer because they can easily steal your identity.

    When you call a known techinical support company and they you ask remotely, log in then you can leave, another that never do, unless you really know the person on the other side.

  • Is Guruaid a Microsoft tech support legitimate certified company?

    They supposedly 'cleaned' of my laptop last Thursday and said they would maintain for one year for $169.99.  They got into my PC and I watched as they ran a series of programs that I'm starting to security, repairs, etc.

    My reason for how contact support was not treated (receipt of Spam and Phishing emails in bulk in my Inbox, as well as in my junk mail folder.)

    They claim to be certified technicians MS, I don't believe to be true, now that I've seen what they are doing.

    I can't find how to reach MS on this subject.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It's a scam.

    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.

    You gave them remote access and if you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And Microsoft or its affiliates does contact you, unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

    my friend told me while updatng windows via internet, virus attacks. is this true?

    Hello

    He's probably referring to the malware that can attack a system if no firewall is running the
    the installation is complete. Happened a bit with Windows XP. Vista comes with a completely
    Firewall active and should not have this problem. In fact, the problem was fairly well controlled
    with the active firewall included with Windows XP SP2. Firewalls are active and enabled by
    by default, before the network starts.

    I hope this helps.

    [Error number: 0x8024400A] Need help with this error... I reinstalled XP SP1 and I can't get an automatic update that's simple to install, just get this error at each time HHHHEEEELLLPPPPP! Thank you

    I had the same problem.  But finally found a solution.  If your listing is similar to mine, then keep.  XP Media Center Edition 2005 (sp2).  AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual-Core, HP a1630n desktop computer.

    Go to the HP website, search for sp37394-XP sp3 Upgrade utility Microsoft for systems equipped with AMD processors.

    I had the same 0 x 80240036, 0x8024400a error, but realize my problem was really get manually downloaded sp3 and installed without continue loop crashing and not error messages.
