• Call for cold scam to allow remote access to my computer

  I was cold called by telephone by a person claiming to work using Windows. I was invited to allow remote access check for errors from the window and was invited to make a Paypal payment for a renewal of my windows. This payment would require me to enter passwords to Paypal, etc while this technician was still working on the computer. Is it a scam? The technician left a reference code and phone number.

  It's absolutely a scam.  Microsoft is not / will not make these calls.

  Do not always allow remote access to your PC to someone who calls you out of the blue...
  You can call your local police department to ask if they follow this (given that the appellant gave a phone number.)  But, I guess the number is false or leads to a place outside the country, or...?

• How to allow another access to the computer through firewall

  How to enable another computer game acess my fire wall

  Hi Roy,

  If you are using Windows Firewall, the last item in this article shows you how to open a port in the firewall to allow access: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Firewall-frequently-asked-questions.

  For more information, see the following: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722062 (WS.10) .aspx.

  It may be more than just the firewall.  You need to allow remote access (in control panel / system / remote settings / Remote Access) and Remote Desktop (same place, but just below).

  Here is an article on the remote desktop for Vista: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Remote-Desktop-Connection-frequently-asked-questions (because I do not know your operating system - you can perform a search Bing for office remotely for your operating system to find something similar).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Use outside technical help and allow them control of your computer

  I pay every month for technical assistance on my computer.  He is paid by credit card.  I've used them once and they solved my problem.  I'm having problems and would like to know if it is safe to allow these services take control of your computer as you look to help you diagnose and solve problems?  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, in fact, some of these services are safe, but not all of them. In fact, most of them is not. You must make very extensive research before considering allowing anyone access to your computer and should be used only as a last resort.

  It will be useful.

• Ready NAS 4220 command terminal to disabled checkbox "allow instant access."

  I have a temp 4220 readynas as a file server, joined an ad. 6.2.4 current firmware

  There is also a file indexing on-site 24/7 running. It indexes action 4.

  I have a junior administrator who will recover the files deleted using the "snapshot" function

  The issue is the 'allow instant access' remains on by accident. This causes the indexing of file index all snapshots. This pushes the index to 60 + GB in size. It will grow if big, that it stops new classes of indexing files. If it not to index the snapshots, the database will be around 4 GB.

  I would like a cron job to disable the 'allow the snapshot' nightly at 02:00.

  I can't find an online resource that gives enough details on the function of snapshot except how to delete snapshots. I want to deactivate access according to a schedule and keep the snapshot running.

  Garet

  Thanks for looking into this for me.

  I thought that it might be a terminal command to do this.

  I've been locked out of my HOTMAIL and there is nobody to talk with to allow me access to it.  I had to sign with another user for the Live ID account, and I can't get back my regular HOTMAIL account.  A hacker sent letters to everyone in my e-book asking money from them to get out me of Cyprus.  I don't understand all this madness.  I just want my account back but you refuse to allow me to connect.  I'm locked up.  Give advice on how to recover my account.

• Windows XP forces me to allow access to my computer just to remove these non-approved programs

  The computer warns me NOT to allow access to non-approved programs, BUT delete these I must allow to these "access to my computer. This makes no sense and is an obvious contradiction. Why Microsoft design stupidity into their products?

  More importantly; Why would I trust I want to get rid of spyware to and that I've never actively allowed on my computer first? AND, is there a way to remove these WITHOUT "allowing access to programs on your computer?

• Repair Windows scam - cannot control panel access control or workstation "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  Original title: repair Windows scam - Can can't Access Control Panel or workstation

  My system has been recently infected with "Windows" repair"virus. I managed to delete using Super Anti-Spyware, but all my desktop shortcuts are gone (hidden) so I downloaded "Unhide.exe" and get all my shortcuts. Most of them seems to be working as before, but there are a few, such as 'My Computer', ' Panel, "My Documents", or even "Windows Explorer", which I can't access.» When I try to open them, I get this popup box saying "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" how much he out me of my office of kicks.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  The best way to solve this maybe just create a new user account, transfer your personal data to this account, and then delete the old account. Make sure that you perform the system restore after you did the new account and everything works fine. To purge the system restore, simply disable it then again. Be aware that the creation of a new user account is not the means to get rid of malware. But it is perhaps the best way to get rid of some of the after effects. However, I recommend you scan with Malwarebytes before running these instructions. After scanning you may not create the new account.

  In addition, Jose is correct. Good number of new forms of malware prevent the start in safe mode. Trying to force booting in SafeMode with msconfig, you end up with a boot loop.

• Have I been scammed? -Received a call from Windows saying pirates were trying to get access to my computer

  I just got a call from windows saying pirates were trying to get access to my computer and asked me to go to the run menu and type eventvwr and go to security and count the red Xs and yellow triangles, after that I said I was under 18, they told me to wait for their phone call.  They also said that they were in England in the Department in charge of piracy (not the exact words), I was wondering if it was a scam because (don't not to sound racists but) they sounded to the East Indies and I read on some other getting calls of the people of the East Indies and it didn't sound like a normal call center because there was a lot of noise in the background it all seemed a bit suspicious to me.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.
