  Hello Ann,.

  If you allowed them access to your PC, then it is a problem. I considered reinstalling my OS and change all my passwords. It would also make sense, if you use the online banking etc., to inform your bank that you have a security hole on your PC. This will alert them to anyone using your current password to the Bank etc.

• I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech.

  I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech and a man who is obviously in India, but called Shane Watson!   I was on the phone for about 3 hours for him today!  I pay money for them last year and am now being harassed to pay more. He gave me a 020 30262097 phone number and identification number to authenticate his call. The company that the payments go to the e-business solutions East nias. He showed me the screens that are supposed to be errors on my PC and also stated that the pirates are using my IP address to hack other computers?  I don't know if it is a lie. It sounds me again in the morning to take payment for software that is supposed to be for a "performance booster PC + anti software piracy" after reading some of these posts, I'm now really worried that he already won access to my PC.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

• Phone call from Microsoft Technical Department?

  I just got a phone call from someone who said they were by Microsoft and I have an internal virus and wanted to connect to my computer. It's for real? He gave me a call back number and it was 425-247-0940. He said he was from the Technical Department of Microsoft.

  It is a popular scam. Microsoft has no unsolicited phone calls. Better to hang up immediately.

• Windows 8 pro applications say that they are not connected to the internet

  I just installed Windows 8 pro and after installing, everything worked well. However, now all applications say that they are not connected to the internet.

  Shop Windows says "you're PC is not connected to the internet," However, when I go to the Office the internet works fine.
  How can I fix?
  I tried to make a new account and check my internet options, but nothing seems to work.

  After much more research online, I was able to find the problem for my computer. Before moving to windows 8, I had AVG internet security on windows 7, and apparently that's what was blocking the applications to connect to the internet.

  So if you have some type of antivirus or internet security installed, try to remove them to see if that makes a difference.

• My Mac is no more to receive messages from the Message Test transmission test and when I try to put it up to my Mac does not display the six-digit code. What can I do to fix this?

  I have a MacBook Air 11 inch 1.7 GHz Core i7 with 8 GB of ram and 500 GB of hard drive running El Capitan. I have an iphone running ios 9.1 6. I can't my text messages to my mac. It was working fine up to three days. I'm in messages to settings then forwarding Message text and my phone has a pop up that prompts me to enter my code to six digits of my Mac but my Mac does not produce a six-digit code to enter. Is there a way that I can apply to my mac to send a code or other difficulty I have to do?

  Thank you for your help.

  Best.

  Problems like this are often set by disconnect and connect again. Make that open the Messages on your Mac app, then select the Messages menu > Preferences... > accounts. Select the iMessage in question account (in other words, the account linked to your Apple ID and not those of other messaging services you may be using) then the logout button.

  Reconnect and follow all the other instructions included in If you cannot send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support.

  IOS update: update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support. This alone is not likely to be linked to the problem, but it includes a number of other bug fixes.

• Had to make a restore point on a week ago – does not find PhotoShop and Bridge but CC says that they are downloaded.

  I had computer problems mega today - had to get back to a week ago and in the process lost my PhotoShop and Bridge - according to the site, they are downloaded and does anyone know how to uninstall if they do not show, so I can reinstall it on my computer...? They appear everywhere - this has been a very long and frustrating day.

  I use Windows 7 and before I had to get everything, all my adobe products, worked very well.  I just installed trial on October 4.  Thanks for your help!
  

  I think I finally found the place to uninstall both of them will try it and then reinstall.  If it helps I'll come here and remove this post.
  In fact, since it took me a few hours to understand.  One of the reasons why it took me a long time is that I've found another issue of discussion even vaguely touched on this topic.  The problem is the question was asked 2 years ago, and the instructions were not in the same place.  I ended up going to the creative, flat clouds screen on the right side of the screen and a small device (settings) appeared and the only option available when I did which was to 'uninstall '.  I clicked on that and when he was gone, I still once gave me the option to download them again.  At least my day ends with less stress he started.
