How will I know if an alert is really Microsoft
I get a security alert windows pop up with Windows web security has detected Trojan horses and ready to remove them. Wants me to run install.exe from 89.248.174.95.
http://89.248.174.95/b_b1f550.php. How will I know if there is a windows genuine message, and if it is safe to download?
Hello
That is absolutely false, and Microsoft does not have those type of alerts on issues.
So if in doubt always come here ask you did this time.
=======================================
If you receive messages regularly maybe there is something on your system already that
should be treated with and more about detection of malicious code in the next message.
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
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 go back and disable
"It is once again.) Search for other possible problems.
Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that are not
look to the right. Allowed are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. In the case of any doubt
a program asking about it here.
Could be a free - BHOremover - BHO - standalone program, needs no installation, download
and run--all are not bad but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

How will I know if a telcall is really Microsoft
I had an international call from someone who says they are from Microsoft. They report errors on my computer (true) and gave me a number of 07390129
so that I can check with the Government of the United Kingdom, if they are true. I am wary. Would I be?
Fake phone calls to technical support
Such unsolicited telephone calls 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 does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security. It is one of the main ways to tell if the call is genuine.
(such persons may use names other than Microsoft as well)
The part of the error they mention is a coincidence (everyone has an error at some point on their PC) and is a simple trick to make their call to appear more convincing.

How will I know if Tempro alerts are actually active?
How can I know if alerts Tempro (facial recognition software, etc.) are actually active?
When I download, they load in a file download, but I don't know if this means that they are used.Am I missing something, something wrong, either, etc.? Or I do too much of this?
Happy Easter to all of our readers/listeners and that.
Your ad is a bit confusing to me. Maybe is my English not so good ;)
Anyway, you can check which version of the software is preinstalled on your laptop. If Tempro informs you about the new version, you can (do not) download it. New software must also be installed, run the setup.exe file.
So, if you have downloaded tool for face recognition (zip file), unzip it somewhere and start the installation. When the installation is complete, you will have new version on your laptop. Just save some downloads on HDD doesn't mean that you have installed.

How will I know if a page is bookmark
When I bookmark on a page, I see that the star lights up in blue. However, when I come back to this page, how will I know if the page has been bookmarked before.
Before the update, there will be a yellow star on the address bar. It is no longer available.
Thank you for your help.
The star in the Navigation toolbar is highlighted blue when you are on a tab that is bookmarked.
In current Firefox released (29 and following), which are have a UI Australis, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three button bar of Menu of Firefox at the far right of the Navigation bar and this button is always visible, if you have the bar of menus visible or hidden
A consequence of this situation, it is that you can no longer hide the Navigation toolbar- There is a star as the button at the right end of the search bar on the Navigation toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show bookmarks" button next to it to open bookmarks in a menu drop-down.
You can find "Show all bookmarks" to open the Manager of bookmarks (library) at the bottom of the drop-down list. - It is still possible to have the bar of menus visible through the context menu on toolbars to have menus like the bookmarks menu
- If bookmark you a page, then 'Bookmark this Page' in the bookmarks menu replaces it with "edit this bookmark".

I have Windows 7. My old version of windows has always shown a lock when a Web site has been encrypted and secure. I don't see that now. How will I know that it is safe to give personal information such as credit card numbers, on a web page?
Padlock is therefore more part of Firefox; It has been removed from Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection, but does not provide any additional information. You could make a typographical error, and have always been connected to a secure connection. The lock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site identity button. Familiarize yourself with the Site identity button at the left end of the address bar:

How will I know if a connection site is secure? In Safari or Explorer there is a locking visual icon in the web browser window, but not in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?
The padlock shows only that there is a secure connection and does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you could always be connected to the wrong server if you make a typing mistake in the URL and someone said that mistyped the URL. The lock feature has been replaced by the identity button of the Site on the left end of the address bar (address).
https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/site+identity+button
http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/security/identity/
This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0
If you still want an icon of padlock also then there is this Extension.
