• About Microsoft Windows unsolicited calls

  I receive MANY phone calls unsolicited from a few different numbers which indicate that they are calling about an error message that is related to Microsoft Windows on my computer.  I tried several times to inform the appellants that I don't want to talk to them, but they continue to remember over and over again.  They clearly want a foreign country and I don't know what is the concert.  Who are these people and how can I get rid of them?

  SG

  They are crooks, and once they have your phone number the only effective way to get rid of them is to change your phone number.  You can probably contact your phone provider, and they MAY be able to help.

• How to check if the exe called by labview does not respond?

  Hi all

  Here's the situation:

  I have a main executable VI which calls on several other screws which are all in the form of exe.  Sometimes, when these other .exe are called, they open reduced as they are supposed to, but they begin the desired process because they become inadmissible.

  Basically, I wonder if there is a way to check if a window responds or not.  I'm using LabVIEW 2010 on a computer with Windows 7.  All the subVIs called by this VI have this problem but to different degrees.

  I thought that I might be able to do this through a reference application and research somehow the title of the window for "(ne répond pas) ', but I have not found a way to implement it."

  Thank you

  I sometimes use a library of 3rd party called AutoIT to do things like move windows and check names, window titles.  Related download installs an ActiveX control that allows you to do.

  See here for a list of the supported control functions.  Look at the end (all functions starting with "Win").

• How to check if the vmware tools are up to date and whether they run or not?

  So, how can I do this in powercli?

  Using (notice-EEG - viobject $vm). Config.Tools, I can get some info but not if they are running or not and they are up to date.

  I would like to get sometnih like I see in vSphere client (OK - if the tools are up-to-date and running,...)

  Best regards, Primoz

  Is that what you are looking for?

  Get - VM | Select Name,@{N="Tools status"; E={$_. Guest.Extensiondata.ToolsVersionStatus}}

  Note that this property returns one of the VirtualMachineToolsVersionStatusenum values.

  In the vSphere client, these values are translated to 'OK', 'Does not work', 'Obsolète' and 'not installed '.

  If you see this text you can do the following

  Get-VM | select Name,
      @{N="Tools Status";E={
          if($_.Guest.Extensiondata.GuestState -eq "notRunning"){
              "Not running"        }
          else{
              $_.Guest.Extensiondata.ToolsVersionStatus.Replace("guestToolsNeedUpgrade","Out of date").Replace("guestToolsNotInstalled","Not installed").Replace("guestToolsCurrent","OK").Replace("guestToolsUnmanaged","Unmanaged")
          }

• I'm fed up with windows call me at home at any time. These calls are genuine?

  Callers always say that my PC is in danger, would be I'm going to turn it on and they'll teach me how to fix it. I had no problem and therefore don't trust. These people are very insistent to the point of rudeness.

  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.

• These calls are genuine? I don't think so

  I've got several phone calls from people saying train it microsoft windows technical service, indicating that I have a problem with my microsoft windows. I have not requested a call back number, I did - no line wrong answer? is it really microsoft calling me?

  Dee

  No, Microsoft will never do that. It's a scam. Never give these people access to your computer, don't give them information such as passwords.

• How to check the links and buttons of enamel are traceable? If I send the email through Eloqua?

  I sent you an email through Eloqua. I don't know how to check the links and buttons are traceable?

  Hi Lucie,.

  There are 3 ways to check your links and buttons are traceable or not:

  1. When you mouse pass the link or button it will not display the actual URL. It will show you a few encrypted URL which will redirect you to the actual URL.

  2. connect to the eloqua account and search your email. When your email open ups click setting ICON and then click on manage links. All the links and URL of the button should be checked.

  3. If you want to check at the level of the code make sure after all the links and buttons URL "elqtrack = true" must be written.

  Hope this will help...

  Thank you

The gentleman says that it represents Windows and he claims that Windows has received reports from my computer indicating that I was inadvertently download viruses. He then asked me to turn on my computer, so it can run a check of safety with me live. I have usually hang up and leave the phone off the hook for awhile. Today I've finally could take no more and told him of "p... off the coast and take his scam with him."  I was too harsh, or not Windows really harrass its customers by making repeated and annoying of the unsolicited calls to people in private homes?

The only ones I should be legally receive unsolicited calls are registered charitable organizations Fund-Raising, call centers are not Indian.

  No, you are not too severe. Never too harsh a crook!

  No, Microsoft NEVER made unsolicited phone calls.

  The Australia has agency that you can contact about this, given that your do not call does not protect you from the way it is supposed to be?

• How to check the files of Microsoft to be legitimate?

  I have a Compaq Presario desktop computer comes with XP Media Center 2005.  It has been updated to SP3.

  Recently, I ran free TDSSKiller from Kaspersky Lab to check my PC for the DNSChanger Malware.  After executing TDSSKiller, he registered 6 files to be suspicious. Two are Microsoft files. The files and their paths are:

  (1) mhn.dll.  Path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\mhn.dll

  (2) mhndrv.sys.  Path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\mhndrv.sys

  How to check that these files have not been modified by a virus?

  Thanks, Terry

  Scan the files with your antivirus application (which is...?)

  You can also download on Virus Total, as long as the file size is less than 32 MB.

  Total virus scan files downloaded with about 39 different tools antivirus and you provides reports:

• I would like to know how do I know when legit microsoft tech people call us.

  * Original title: scams

  Hello

  I would like to know how do I know when legit microsoft tech people call us. They seem to know what are the problems of the computer. For example, I know technical support microsoft is outsourced. How can I know who we really are and which one is fake? If I'm registered, it is logical that they call me if my computer is not working properly. In addition, they guide you through what is wrong, before asking to enter the computer. Y at - there somewhere that we could see a list of companies that are partners of support, as well as their locations?

  For a very good presentation, read this--> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/407147/answers-to-common-security-questions-best-practices/?p=2413189 (post #2 in the thread must choose an antivirus program and post #4 aims to choose an additional program to deal with software spyware and other malware that is not strictly 'virus' in nature.)

  Each month, the "Patch Tuesday" Microsoft includes an updated version of the 'Malicious Software Removal Tool"in the 'important' updates.  It's not settling as other updates but "runs once to find infections per prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) on your computer and remove infections it finds."

  In addition, your installation of Windows 7 runs by default "Windows Defender".  Microsoft confusedly used that name to refer to a software that performs different functions.  In Windows 7, Windows Defender is an anti-spyware utility, not an anti-virus.  Windows Defender (for Windows 7) updates are quite frequently provided through Windows Update.  See http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/6397-windows-defender-turn-off.html

  Microsoft also provides for free, Microsoft Security Essentials.  Microsoft describes this as a "guard in real time against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software.  If you install MSE, will be automatically disabled Windows Defender.

  You can also download the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make a unique analysis for "virus, spyware and other malicious software."

  IMO, one of the best tools that scan for malware that the virus is the free version of MalwareBytes AntiMalware.  https://www.Malwarebytes.org/DL-confirm/ . during installation, you will be asked if you want to a free trial of the Premium version.  Yet once, IMO, the Premium, even the free trial version, installation is not necessary.

  The difference between the free version and the Premium version, which is the last runs continuously in the background ("scheduled update and scanning, the safer our real-time Protection Module. ... Another important feature is our blocking malicious Web site").   According to the company, "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not supposed to be a replacement for antivirus software...» [and] works well and should run alongside software antivirus without conflict.  https://support.Malwarebytes.org/customer/en/Portal/articles/1834872-does-Malwarebytes-anti-malware-replace-antivirus-software-?b_id=6438

  A second scanner good anti-spyware is SUPERAntiSpyware.  http://SUPERAntiSpyware.com/  As with MBAM, IMO all what you need is the free version.  Be aware that even the free version by default at startup of Windows startup.  If you install SAS, I suggest to change this option and the program running only on request.

• How to check that an e-mail message is REALLY from Microsoft?

  How to check that an e-mail message is REALLY from Microsoft? I received a message from Microsoft [* address email is removed from the privacy *] and I don't know if it's really from Microsoft. This happens a lot – I use Outlook, and he sometimes sends junk e-mail messages when a company adds the characters 'e-mail.' in front of their field.
