• I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer.

  Original title: scams?

  I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer. Normally, I just say that I don't have and hung up. Today, I took a little further and he said that they discovered that I had loads of malware/viruses etc and that they could identify with them. I was obviously very suspicious because he seemed to have my correct Windows ID number and with care on 'Run' he told me to type things like cmd eventviewer and inf where he referred to a file 1394.pnf. I stopped while he asked remotely to access my computer. However, I got a phone number 01916450337 and his P786000 id I noticed that many people are posting on your forum-is this another one of those scams?

  Continue to put the phone down. They are all crooks.

  They get you to open Event Viewer, because there are words such as 'critical' and 'error' along the this.

• When my friends send me they emmidiately receive spam from some company Japanese camera. Anyone know what is happening? __

  Whenever someone sends me they emmidiately got an e-mail from some company spam Japanese camera. Does anyone know whats going on?

  Hi gr8cad,

  Thanks for posting. You can check the email address that your friend's mail to? This happens with some or all people? This occurs when your computer is turned on and off? You can check your email provider (i.e. hotmail.com att.com microsoft.com something like not using your full email address)?

  What I would say, is to search for viruses, spyware and software malware.  I've included a few websites for utilities that you can use to analyze your computer against viruses and spyware. I would like to use more than one, none of the products, which include every viral infection.

• I continue to receive calls telephone technical support Windows are a scam

  I keep getting windows technical support calls asking me to put my pc is a scam

  I keep getting windows technical support calls asking me to put my pc is a scam

  Yes! They are * not * windows technical support. It's a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common these days. See http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/08/virus-scams-social-engineering-victims.html

  
  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what 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.

• Do I need to have the conexant modem when I already have internet cable modem. I continue to receive messages from windows that I need to install a driver

  I bought this computer used for the school. previously, the owner used AOL and dial-up. I have cable and a cable modem, so I removed the modem to see State of windows that they needed to install a driver for the computer to work. Also, I have windows 7 on my old computer, but have not been able to install it.

  Hi Crystal, azure

  If you are using a router/cable modem, then you don't need to dial the modem conexant. If you are asked for the driver, then you can either install the driver or, if you want to get rid of the quite conextant modem you can remove the material completely, assuming you know how to do this. Of course, you will have to open your case and remove the conextant modem. For this I guess you have a desktop PC. A laptop would be more difficult to remove the conexant modem, unless the modem is a stand alone.

  You give no details as to your problem of not being able to install Windows 7. More information will be required before anyone can really help you with this problem. An idea of what is happenning when you try to install windows 7 and error messages would be useful; What version of Windows 7 and whether retail or OEM. By the way if you try to install an OEM copy from another PC on your computer then you will obviously have problems like the copy so attached to the first PC OEM installed on the byt the PC manufacturer.

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

• I have received several calls from a company called the Technical Department of "eprotectionz" offering to get rid of the virus, is this a hoax?

  Hi there, hope someone can help me on this issue.

  I received several calls from a company called 'eprotectionz' technical department which proposes to rid your computer of an "infection" (no virus) apparently slowing down Windows. In a first time, I finished the callwhen they began to ask questions about my computer.  They are appatently a global company - I am based in Australia and on checking their site, they operate out of the Australia and other countries. Their phone number here in Aust is 02-8091-0114. This company is legitimate.  I become more suspicious when they ask to enter my computer remotely while I followed the instructions to remove the so-called infection.  I don't trust everybody these days and trust no one! What do you think?? Thanks in advance,

  Australia. Take a look at this, mate.

  Hello Paul,

  Its a scam. If they call it still cling. I had 2 these calls than several of my clients and I also had them. By all accounts Microsoft do not have this kind of activity, not even through other companies.

• Unable to receive calls from Apple Watch, using WIFI AT & T calls, when the iPhone is turned on, turned off or in Airplane Mode.

  I work on this issue and wanted to involve the community.

  I have tests the functionality Apple Watch and have been unable to solve my problems with WIFI call. I use the AT & T and I am connect to the strip of the 5 GHz on my router Xfinity.

  I am able to make/receive calls from my iPad and Mac laptop when iPhone is off / Mode plane; However, this feature does not work on the watch. I can make and receive calls from the watch when the phone is turned on.

  Another problem is that I am not able to send and receive messages (blue or green bubble) of the watch - once again when the phone is turned off or in flight Mode

  I'll copy in 2 portions of the Web site: http://help.apple.com/watch/

  http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

  If your Apple Watch is in range of a Wi - Fi network that the iPhone is connected to before, you can always do the following (even if the iPhone is off):

  • Send and receive digital messages Touch
  • Send and receive messages using Messages
  • Make and receive phone calls (if you have active calls, Wi - Fi, and you are within range of a Wi - Fi connected to your iPhone before)
  • Check current weather conditions
  • Track your inventory

  http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd2fe746e86

  Make calls via Wi - Fi

  If your cellular operator offers Wi - Fi calls, you can use Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi - Fi instead of cellular network - even when your pair iPhone isn't with you or is disabled. Apple Watch comes to be in range of a Wi - Fi network that is connected to your iPhone in the past.

  To see if your carrier offers Wi - Fi calls, see the article Apple Support phone with Wi-Fi calls, then enable the calls on your iPhone and Apple Watch Wi - Fi.

  Note: You can make emergency calls via Wi - Fi, but when possible, use rather iPhone over a cellular connection - your location information will be more specific.

  Enable on iPhone Wi - Fi calls. On iPhone, go to settings > phone and turn on Wi - Fi calling and application to other devices.

  Enable calls on Apple Watch Wi - Fi. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap phone, then turn on Wi - Fi calls. If you do not see the parameter, make sure that you have activated calls on iPhone Wi - Fi.

  Answer please if you are able to perform any of these functions! And any troubleshooting you can think!

  Hello

  These features are not available because Apple Watch cannot connect to a network of GHz Wi - Fi 5.

  If your watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but lying in a 2.4 GHz Wi - Fi network your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can continue to use certain features, including Wi - Fi calls (when it is supported by your operator, you already have in place).
