Genuine Microsoft certified engineer?
I got a call yesterday from what looked like a call center in India. The guy asked if I had problems with my computer because a number of alerts were received. He suggested that he was a certified engineer from a company called Solutions 1000 MS and he could talk to me through certain diagnoses. I said that I wasn't ready to do it until I had checked if he (and his company is credible). I am aware of the many scams and will not allow someone take over my computer remotely. However, my computer is slow to start and is slow, so there could be a legitimate problem. Someone at - he heard Solutions 1000 or received a similar call. Thanks in advance.
It is WRONG of course. If they are you call so they need you NOT you need.
Microsoft never call you unless you ask them to call back you. I suggest you take a look at:

If your PC is slow, so I suggest to run a full scan with:

It will clean your PC and say if you need defragnment or not also ensure that your Windows is fully updated.

Microsoft have all Windows 7 OEM ISO downloads and buy an OEM key provider Microsoft Certified OK?
What I hear for question 1 is it a new Digital River (Microsoft ISO download service) since you can now no longer download the Iso of Windows 7 from Microsoft unless you have a retail key. Question 2 is explicit thanks.
No, there is no key only option sanctioned by Microsoft, so be prepared to find the rejected key if you try to download the ISO. The PID is actually built into the authorization key, all other sent by e-mail is meaningless
Microsoft are selling more than Windows 7, all real dealers withdrew the product.

I have a genuie serial key...
and I don't know why its like this:
"Ask genuine Microsoft software.
why its like that? How to fix?
Thank you.
Elran.
It's because you have an OEM product key and this site is for retail product keys.
You must contact the manufacturer (the manufacturer of the computer) for a recovery/installation media defined for your computer which they sold you as a whole unit (included OS.)

Hello world
I would like to embark on a career in IT, I have done no training yet but have a very strong interest in IT. I currently work full in New Zealand and would like to study to become Microsoft certified in the subjects that would help me find a job in the construction and maintenance of PC configuration and updating of systems for small businesses. I was told that I can purchase that Microsoft certified learning based on books with the study and CD-ROM material, but I'm just not sure where would be a good starting point.
Any help would be appreciated.

PC Cleaner Pro v. 10 really is a Microsoft Certified partner?
I downloaded PC Cleaner Pro due to a problem of rundll32.exe. After race/download software that nothing had changed, so I contacted there support line and they were able to fix my problem and get rid of virus/malware issues 3. The only thing is now my disk defragmentation utility is now disabled and some features of my Verizon Security Suite software powered by Mcafee not working, I get the error messages. I just want to know if PC Cleaner Pro is legitimate, or if I should get rid of it and try to get a refund (if that's even possible) PC cleaner pro.
We could have asked "what & where is he supposed to clean '... Microsoft never offered
such an article... In any event, be a "certified partner" isn't saying much at all, microsoft
has several levels of certifications. Being a certified partner is at the bottom of the list...
Thet also seems not to fix everything if they caused other problems.
In regards to defrag, try to run, type: cmd cmd type: Defrag C:
