original title: fed UP!
with an Indian accent, at about 15:30 and 19:30 (Australian Eastern Standard Time). 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? I'm on the "do not call" registry of the Australian Government. 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 Microsoft's unsolicited calls are genuine
I received a phone call unsolicited, claiming to be from Microsoft. The person led me through a process to show that there are errors on my computer. She asked me to open a free software - ammyy = to enable it to take and to fix things. She gave me a number 0870 8753141 who do not get an answer. She called back twice. Should I trust it?
All unsolicited calls security and support phone Microsoft are fake.
It is 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 .
(such persons may use names other than Microsoft as well)
If you gave them access to your remote PC or any software installed, then you should consider the security of your PC to be seriously compromised. Passwords, coordinated banking, etc. can be in the pssession. Consider making a clean Windows and tell your bank, installation etc., depending on the case. Change passwords by using a separate PC until yours is clean.

Original title: MATRIX GLOBAL SOLUTIONS
We were contacted by a company called Global Solutions matrix yesterday and said that our computer was in danger because of so many error reports comes to them. They have assured me that they were associated with Microsoft could fix the problem free of charge. I told them I had Mcafee protection, but they insisted on the fact that should does not solve the problem because the H key has not been installed on my computer. After you resolve the problem, they charged me for service, and now my computer is protected for the life of the machine. It is the legal transaction or have I just pirate?
Hello
It's a scam.
Microsoft and its affiliated companies do contact you, unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.
There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one
Read this Information from Microsoft:
"Avoid scams to phone for tech support.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx
Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.
Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:
Helpdesk Windows
Windows repair center
Microsoft technical support
Microsoft technical support
Windows Support Group Technical Department
Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)
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.
Please read this Section:
If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, 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.
See you soon.

- This man said that it comes from windows and I have a virus and you have to pay to remove! I know it's a lie and paid no attention, but I expect some vulnerable people might do! How can I report to microsoft? Has anyone actually paid these merchant scam?
Thank you for getting back on this type of scam.
Yes, some vulnerable people indeed caught up.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. It is better to avoid being scammed 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.

I use to have the grid pinned Web pages, whenever I clicked the X to a new tab page. It has now disappeared. I figured out if I typed about: newtab in the Awesome bar he would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I tap on: newtab in the awesome bar I get a page called subject: topic... and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned sites on my new tab page?
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type Subject: config.
If a warning screen is displayed, press the button to be careful .
That's where Firefox considers the information he should run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter browser.newtab.url
and press ENTER. browser.newtab.URL
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select Edit. You can change the settingtopic: Home (Default Firefox homepage),
on: newtab (displays the more visited sites),
Subject: vacuum (a blank page),or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.
The same instructions are used to the new setting of the window, classified

iPhone 6 not getting or sending calls or text
In the last two days, my iPhone 6 texts are going through. I send a text, but it shows no 'delivered' or 'read' as before. The recipient of the text does not receive the text. My husband has the same iPhone 6 like I do and does not receive my texts. Phone calls do not resonate through and I don't get the voicemail alerts. I know that I have a voicemail message, because I see a number on the symbol 'Message '.
Check the key "secret" on the side of the unit and after that, check the settings for do not disturb. Problems with sending/receiving SMS to non - iOS devices would be treated by the carrier. It is a function of carrier. If your husband does not receive your iMessages, then go to settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage is activated.

I get a foreign call telling me that I need to go to my computer because I have a problem with my windows operating system. They want me to go to eventvwr. I told them no and I do not trust to this call.
Now, I'm worried, why they call me. They call 4 = 5 times a day.
Help! I'm not good with IT
It is a scam. Tell them that put you your list of calls only. If you have a way to block their number, too. If they don't stop, report them to the Better Business Bureau.
Good luck.
