I got a call saying they call Microsoft. 253-802-0309.
Well, just as the title says, today 04/05/2013 at 09:40 (UTC-8) West of USA.
I got a call saying they call Microsoft. (YES, YES... I know that microsoft never, never make such calls). They said that my computer anti-virus has expired, and I need to renew. They asked me if I have my computer close to their Web site. (I guess that means, a microsoft Web site or a Web site of the antivirus).
Well, after I told him (as a man) did you know that microsoft never call their customers as their own antivirus microsoft you don't need to buy another because is free? So guy stop talking... after that I have no response from her... hhehehe lol
Well, here's the phone number 253-802-0309
Is absolutely a scam, and I'm just here to report them. You guys need to start an investigation, because you do not know how many people fall each day in such scams. (not my case = P).
"Eduardo Samayoa" - congratulations, you did the right thing and as you say, it's a scam.
MS are aware and deliver advice http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx (for example).
I'm not sure its easy to stop it well.

A Google search for this returned no success other than your own message. This suggests that the file refers to malicious software.
You have a recent version of an antivirus with a current subscription application? Have never leave you the subscription expires?
Startup like these messages can occur if your antimalware application has deleted the payload real malware but has failed to clean up the start of the call.
First download, install, update and run the following applications of malware free 2 the possibility that one or the other will detect and remove these remains (as well as anything else that your original scan could not detect):
If these two applications running is not the message disappears, you will need to know where the call to the missing dll file is now done. The best tool for this is AutoRuns:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx the main problem with the help of AutoRuns is that he finds the startup items as much as it can be a little overwhelming. One of the good features of AutoRuns is that you can prevent an element of commissioning by unchecking the box, but if you decide that you really want to start, just re-check the box. Once you are sure that you will never need of the item to start, remove it.
Typical advice is to check the logon tab, but because the now-absent file is a dll, it is not likely to appear online in the logon tab. Yet, take a look at the connection tab and if aluzonah.dll is there, or if there is a line of starting an application of suspect search, a Google search suggests is malware, uncheck the box and restart. If the entry is far, re - run AutoRuns and remove the line.
The next place to look is the Winlogon tab, which should have little, or no, entries.
If you have not yet found the wrong entry, click the all tab, click the top row and then click on file > find and search for aluzonah.dll. If you find an instance, uncheck the box and then manually move the selection on the following bottom line then press F3 to "search again".

I get constantly a message saying 'no support for IE8 and below' and its asking me to upgrade my browser... I don't have any idea what to do as a novice PC user... help please :(
Hello
Vista came with IE8 and the updated browser he received was the only one that ever. for IE9.
But you need Service Pack 2 to install IE9 on Vista.
Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.
It will also tell you which SP you have installed.
Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.
Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30
Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21299
Vista SP2 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468
Vista SP2 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17669

Just DLd CD player. Now, nothing will be printed. I also get error app for Windows (0xc0000022) whenever I start CD player. I uodated download of the last update and tried an auto repair. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit machine. I tried several printers and I can test printing from other applications such as Outlook and Wordpad.
None of this has worked. I have to get rid of the error (0 x 000022) and he got good printing. I did clean the Adobe Reader DC machine, reinstalled drive XI 11.0.10 and in the preferences to disabled Adobe protected in Security (Enhanced) Mode and set "view documents I have PDF/A mode" forever in the Documents tab...
It seems that each player version as it becomes more complex (with the "features enhanced security") gets more unstable.
I'll try Adobe Reader DC when I eventually have to WIN 10 which is never if all goes well.

They gave me the support options for windows costs $139 for one year; 188 for two years and more
No, it's a scam.
Did you leave the appellant access to your computer?
If so, you must save your stuff on an external media and then re - install Windows. Actually he will wipe away anything that the person could have installed.
If you're banking online or gave the appellant credit card number, contact your bank immediately and follow their advice on what to do next.

Hi all, I got a phone call from a guy yesterday saying my computer downloaded currupt and Marie-Claire files and had asked, on behalf of microsoft, to contact me this was a business partner?, it was the Indian accent but did not speak good enough English if you listened well, at this point, he had my full attention that my computer was slow in the months , I explained that I had someone find and remove programs for me to speed it up, but it was persistent in getting me in front of the computer. He said he could help me and show me the problems? I asked name hes, he gave and he even new my name and what platform I was using. I don't remember the name of the company, that he said, that he was but the phone number was 0206 something something? After reading this other storys hoax here had me calm worried, he explained that the problem needs to be fixed and I must say after testing to see if he was legitimate, he even said that he would put the supervisor on... He explained to me the same thing and although I challenged somemore on what it could be anyone he said sure, but were not trying to make that you are something weird to us, cannot remember everything exactly, but I said ill insatall a virus program myself, who while he became upset, saying big companys will charge you loads just go on your computer so that I can that I you Guide in that says im? Ultimately, and after reading the other storys peoples about these scams and calls after that I hung up on him which im happy I did it, he then phones me back saying today the problem has not been corrected, in an application for Mr. family name once again on your computer. I got protection as IE firewall and software spies but I havnt got the malware protection, anyone got any idears what I can do? or how these people got my number, p.s do you recommend pc spy software new help for example?

When he calls again, tell him that you save the phone message. Tell him to hear again, or you must notify the police for internet fraud. Then hang up.
