Had a strange pop up this morning on a random in sign.
This morning when I woke up, I saw a pop up saying ple ID was used to connect in another part of the world. I don't know her so I clicked to change my password immediately. Hours later, I got a strange email on my account and click on it to see what email address was before clicking on a link and it certainly isn't Apple. When these two things that happened on the same day, is that pop up that I received this morning legitimate? I'm afraid now that a conditioned hacker pop in my phone to see my account information. Note, I'm 10 IOS and my phone did not have a jailbreak done. I could be over reacting, but due to my acct seen my CC on file, I want to be sure I'm safe.
Hello Glen4X4,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I understand that you have received an alert of the strange and email on your Apple ID. I know that Apple ID may have valuable information, these questions can be very concerning. Your privacy and security are extremely important. I'm here to help.
The iTunes Store will never ask you to provide personal information or account information sensitive (for example passwords or credit card numbers) by e-mail.
E-mail messages that contain attachments or links to non-Apple Web sites come from sources other than Apple, although they may appear from the iTunes Store. Most often, these attachments are bad and should not be opened. You must never enter your Apple account information on any non-Apple Web site. Apple sites that require account information have apple.com, for example http://Store.Apple.com/fror iforgot.apple.com(with the exception of iCloud.com).
Identification of legitimate emails from the iTunes Store
Change your identifier Apple was a big step. I also recommend notify Customer Support iTunes by visiting the link below

Have an amazing day!

At 07:00 this morning, I got a strange call from what they said was Windows. They wanted me to go start my computer and of course I refused. When I checked my identity the only word he was SENMUKTA. What was that some kind of scam or what. Please check this and let me know. Hope you can take care of that. I changed my password on some of my accounts. Thank you for your help.

It's a scam and with various names and phone numbers, is
very frequent lately. See
http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/08/virus-scams-social-engineering-victims.htmlIn addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
where confidential information they stole.So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
immediately:1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
financial sites.However if you refused to let them in your computer, you're safe
and there is no need to do the foregoing. You can't even
change the password that you did.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

Hello
What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK
Close and restart IE or IE with no addons
not better?
IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

You should not get cold-calls from computer technical support. If you do and you do not install a sort of monitoring service you pay a fee for - it's a scam.

Cannot access hotmail server this morning
I can't access my hotmail account using Thunderbird but I can't use Hotmail/Outlook account directly.
#1 error message: "failed to connect to the server imap - mail.outlook.com .» Another popup window asks for a new password. When I type 'Retry', I get the same error message.
Error message #2: "[email protected] server has disconnected. The server may be down or there may be a network problem. »
I have been using Outlook for awhile until that this new update, which I hate. I moved to Thunderbird. I accepted all the automatic setting parameters when adding to my Thunderbird mail accounts and everything seemed to work OK except the #2 error message popped up sometimes when I tried batch delete e-mails from the Inbox. This error seems to solve quickly and emails have been deleted.
Now, this morning when I try to access my hotmail emails with Thunderbird, nada :( The last email from hotmail, which is in my Thunderbird inbox is dated 11/18/2016 @ 06:02
Yahoo e-mail accounts appear to work correctly, like my att.net email account.
Hello, if this can help, I have posted workaround on the thread of Microsoft that you point and also here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1147439
Hope this will help you.
Note: I found workaround while waiting for someone to answer me in the chat support. I've been #50... !! So had plenty of time to continue its investigation. Since I had another account on outlook.com that worked, and everything by exploring the menus to find something that could unblock me, I saw the concept of alias, which gave me the idea of trying to create an alias in outlook.com for the account... :-)

Not very in computing, so here: this morning, I had 2 toolbars or a toolbar of level 2 showing the icons and descriptive captions, I created some time ago. I was the computer off for awhile and when I came back to it only the first toolbar (or level) showed. It have a button, I think, that allows me to add sites to the toolbar, but I can't see this button. I tried some of the suggestions given to others who have asked similar questions, but without success.
That's great.
(Some other users report their toolbar Yahoo remains unchecked, but I hope that yours will be!)

Aaaaahhhhh - yesterday, everything was fine. Nothing seemed to be a problem. This morning I'm on my laptop to read my emails as usual, a shortcut icon on the desktop for Yahoo, and it does not open. Then I tried several other shortcuts office linking to Firefox and none of them is open. The only shortcut that works is the Firefox that brings me to my home page. Once it is open, then my shortcuts all work. What? I must say that I have others linking to Google Chrome desktop shortcuts, and they all work very well. What is the problem with Firefox that I now already have it open to allow my shortcuts to open? It is so annoying not being able to just to open things directly from the desktop. I tried to delete all shortcuts and reapply them. It does not help. Anyone got any ideas? Thank you
Just checked the other shortcuts and they have now all seems to be a new behavior - I guess I had a fleeting event on my hands!

The shot to the top of Thunderbird, this morning, the last 12 months of emails have disappeared from my Inbox. Older emails are still there. The new mails are still on my phone. Other accounts in Thunderbird (hotmail, gmail, etc.) do not seem to have been affected. This seems to be a special relationship between Thunderbird and BT internet email. I would be really grateful for any help. Thank you.
Hi - Thanks for taking the time to answer for me. No, the problems don't moved earlier. My wife also has a near-dormant BTinternet account which is accessible from the Thunderbird even on the same computer. Which has proved to work very well. I found that there were many problems with the BT e-mail yesterday and my problem was resolved later (2 hours on the phone) by a very helpful Lady in BT who virtually rebuilt my account. Even my security questions were rejected. I think that BT Yahoo email had major problems yesterday and he had nothing to do with Firefox - so please accept my apologies if I've wasted your time. Again thank you and best regards.

This morning the Mozilla firefox would not connect to the internet (my homepage is Comcast.net). He kept saying "connection" "redirect" and repeat it in succession rapic. So I used internet Explorer and it connected to the internet, very well. I could go to my home page, my e-mail without problem.
So I went to Mozilla to get an update for firefox and he looked like he downloaded something, but after 'run' and 'run', he began to Firefox, but the same thing happens.
What's wrong? I have Norton security of Comcast and I had no problem for several years. There has been no change to my computer and it has been defragmented and checked any disk recently.
I was going to just uninstall Mozilla, but I don't want to lose all my favorites.
Help, pleaseHello RayGust, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox: solve connection problems to websites after Firefox update
