Hello my mother was a victim of the eventvwr scam last night.
Fortunately because she went out to the furthest dinner, she got was going to run and type in eventvwr. She now has an icon on the computer, what said. I'm not a computer irritable person at all and obviously neither is she, but I had to cut internet and shut down the computer. But since it was last night and she just told me this morning you think she went far enough to then hack into or whatever it is that they don't? Should she be put alerts on their ing bank accounts? What should I do now? We need to change its IP address? Help, please? How do I know if it will be ok? I will defintely make to computer technology on the weekend, but for now I got just unplugging everything.

If that's all she did, you have been hacked. This is a very common scam... usually goes something like this:
- someone calls and says they are with Microsoft, or work with them, and they detected malware on your PC
- often they get you to open the windows event viewer and report all alarms and events such as "evidence" of problems. But... the event viewer is always full of such things, and 99.999% of it is bad but is benign. It's a great tool for fraudsters in order to deceive the innocent.
- The next thing they would do would be to ask access remotely to the PC, to install their own malicious software and then start asking for credit card numbers to pay for cleaning and so on...

I fell for the "eventvwr" scam and gave the appellant to control remotely from my computer. When I insisted on getting a phone on their part number, I shut down the computer, waited a bit and restarted again. Everything seems normal, but I'm worried. I had to give them a "id" so that they could take control remotely. I have to worry about remote access to my computer now?

I have DC Acrobat and run it on Windows 7. I have a Brother printer. I downloaded the new drivers last night, but the same problem occurs: when I try to print, I get a message in a dialog box, "the cocument could is allowed. When I click on out of the box with this message, I get a different dialog box including the message says "it has not chosen to print pages". Any suggestion would be appreciated.
The way I got it to print has been:
Without opening the program, in the list of applications, move on to Adobe Reader and right click, select Properties.
Go to the compatibility and click 'run as Admin '. Reopen the application and all prints for me now.

When I try to start in safe mode, it seems to load takes with several lines of things like:
"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe ' etc, etc.
then hangs just at a black screen with the last few lines of that on it.

We have the AppleTV (4th Gen, 64 GB). Whenever we 'wake up' the AppleTV from sleep, we are unable to access all our content purchased until we start the system. We have never had this problem until a few weeks ago. All software is up-to-date and automatically update, internet is very good, and nothing has changed since we have implemented the AppleTV. Frustrating to not be able to access the content that we have already purchased without jumping through hoops.

Hi all!
I have a question about using a DMM (PXI-4065) with VStudio 2008 and Measurement Studio 2009.
Because DMM are not always supported in .net, I downloaded niDMM.cs 3.0 wrapper of the web site of NOR.
I also downloaded example c# measure DC Voltsto compare with my request.
Both an example and my application fail trowing the exception [-1074118656] 'the device was not recognized. The device is not supported with this driver or version. " class constructor is called.
DMM = new InstrumentDriverInterop.Ivi.nidmm ("PXI3::12:INSTR", true, true);
I guess it is function of device PXI!
I also tried to use a VISA alias as "pippo" and then I tried to insert a device unexistent name. In any case the same exception was trown.
NOR-DAQmx 8.9.5
NOR-DMM 3.0.1
NI-VISA 4.6.1

Original title: Plustek OpticBook 3600 is not installed
Found new hardware wizard runs, but after scanning stops the disc from the manufacturer with the message ' year error occurred during the installation of the device.» The required section was not found in the INF"
PC system is homebuild which, in theory, exceed the minimum requirements of the system of manufacturers. Operating system is Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 3. The scanner is connected to the USB 2.0 card that is not separately powered, but installed in the PCI slot. I suspect that the problem lies in the PC rather than the scanner. but do not know what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated!
