Whenever someone sends me they emmidiately got an e-mail from some company spam Japanese camera. Does anyone know whats going on?
Hi gr8cad,
Thanks for posting. You can check the email address that your friend's mail to? This happens with some or all people? This occurs when your computer is turned on and off? You can check your email provider (i.e. hotmail.com att.com microsoft.com something like not using your full email address)?
What I would say, is to search for viruses, spyware and software malware. I've included a few websites for utilities that you can use to analyze your computer against viruses and spyware. I would like to use more than one, none of the products, which include every viral infection.

I constantly get a pop up from microsoft corp.
It's pop up to Microsoft Corp., eager to install a program. No matter what I click on, leave do not allow or do not show this again it appears every 4 to 5 minutes. How can I stop this annoying pop up. I have a pop up blocker installed. the name of the program that is tring to install is CSC - exe. I have tried everything I know of to get rid of it but it comes right back. I did a system restore to an earlier time before it started coming but didn't stop him. I asked my provider of virus at a distance, we did it, but he said I should ask microsoft to do. That's why I'm here. Any suggestions? makes me crazy.

I get calls from a company that says they are MS, is - a scam?
I get calls from a company that says they are Ms. (last 4 times) they said that my computer reports that I get errors, and they want to use the observer for the team to go into my computer and help me. Is it a scam?
Hello Margaux.730,
Yes, it's a scam. Do not give them access to your PC, they will try to steal personal data such as bank details etc. When they call again just tell them you don't have a PC or simply hung up. Never provide personal details or credit card number because they are also after the money too.
Unless you have a prepaid contract or have opened a support ticket no Microsoft will call you about your PC problems.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

I tried to play Candy Crush & Solitaire all day and every time I try I get a pop-up window saying I need to download a new version. I have downloaded 3 times today & reset my email and password and still can't get anything to load. What is going on???
This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.
If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt. If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.

"Doesn't not loading skin name 'Talk Talk' the"shell.css"file is necessary in your" sscommon, skins, talktalk, css / ' directory. ". To resolve this problem, please check the name of skin in your config file, or re install the application. »
What it means?
Well, I go back to them and tell them you can send and receive mail, but then with them, indicate the exact error message and ask him what is the file that is supposed to be missing. Its clearly a talk talk question, since talk talk generates the error message.

Hi there, hope someone can help me on this issue.
I received several calls from a company called 'eprotectionz' technical department which proposes to rid your computer of an "infection" (no virus) apparently slowing down Windows. In a first time, I finished the callwhen they began to ask questions about my computer. They are appatently a global company - I am based in Australia and on checking their site, they operate out of the Australia and other countries. Their phone number here in Aust is 02-8091-0114. This company is legitimate. I become more suspicious when they ask to enter my computer remotely while I followed the instructions to remove the so-called infection. I don't trust everybody these days and trust no one! What do you think?? Thanks in advance,
Australia. Take a look at this, mate.

Hello.
I just noticed that xmp files, I mean by there any changes I made on the LR image, have disappeared from some files in my library.
Is it possible to find them?
Sorry for my English, I'm french.
Best.
Eric
Paige,
The OP said that all the changes he made in LR disappeared. The lack of XMP data maintenance is a red herring, probably caused by the thought that this is where LR stores the changes, without realizing that the changes are stored in the catalog.

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check

I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech.
I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech and a man who is obviously in India, but called Shane Watson! I was on the phone for about 3 hours for him today! I pay money for them last year and am now being harassed to pay more. He gave me a 020 30262097 phone number and identification number to authenticate his call. The company that the payments go to the e-business solutions East nias. He showed me the screens that are supposed to be errors on my PC and also stated that the pirates are using my IP address to hack other computers? I don't know if it is a lie. It sounds me again in the morning to take payment for software that is supposed to be for a "performance booster PC + anti software piracy" after reading some of these posts, I'm now really worried that he already won access to my PC.
Hello
It's a scam.
We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you
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 are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.
If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to 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.
