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.

Xinfinity Tech
I continue to receive phone calls from a person to Xinfinity Tech. They insist that they are related to Windows and that if I go to their website they can solve the problem. I don't trust someone who calls me on the phone like that. Are they legitimate?

Hi, we get a lot of calls from devane India, photoshop that we used earlier was invalid for the India, although our partners in the United States paid for it. Why is it so?
The countries on your Adobe account must match your actual geographic location.
In addition, the country of your payment address and the store you purchase of should be from the same country.
For tax reasons, it is not possible to change the country associated with an existing Adobe ID, but if you need to change your country, you can create a new Adobe ID to the e-mail address associated with your existing Adobe ID see the link for instructions:

received a call from foreign voice asking me to let him access my computer, said that it was for my call from Microsoft. Wanted to help me with my problem.
First I called Microsoft and don't think that they work this way. Also, this same thing happens to my friend here in Idaho a couple of weeks. Is this a scam going around and if it is why didn't Microsoft addressed the issue in a public way?

How can I remove the AOL toolbar?
Also, I'd be happy just to get back to my original firefox, but this has been removed from my PC when I downloaded firefox to AOL. Do I download a new firefox and upload my favorites etc and then delete the firefox to AOL?
Thanks for your help!
Hello FJM8:
YOU'RE THE BEST! The 1st solution (see below) was simple and worked like a charm.
I was afraid I was for a fight against you-know-who, this big ISP one who gave me the add-on (or toolbar).
Once again, your instructions were simple and worked super fast.Thank you!!!
PhilHow should I do if it's an add-on?
Use the add-on Manager to remove the toolbar 1. Click on the menu button (upper right corner) and choose Add-ons. Open the tab of the Add-ons Manager. 2. in the tab of the Add-ons Manager, select the Extensions Panel. 3. Select the toolbar you want to delete. 4. click on the button Delete. 5. click on restart now if it appears. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.

When you try to play WOW, it is said that WOW is blocked by a firewall.
Original title: Firewall blocking Warcraft
has been able to play Wow. It worked very well. Shut down my computer properly. Went to play the following night, and now I'm presented that Wow is blocked by a firewall. I do not have a router I use a cricket USB - of the suggestions?
Hello
1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
2. you play this game online?
3. do you use the Internet Explorer browser to play the game? If so, which version?
4. What is the full error message?Method 1: Temporarily disable antivirus software and firewall and see if that helps.Follow the below mentioned article:
Disable the anti-virus software
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-softwareImportant note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.Method 2: If you use the Internet Explorer browser, follow the below mentioned article:The problems of games online using Internet ExplorerMethod 3: Configure your system to allow access to the game servers.
The firewall or the router must allow unrestricted communication on the number of TCP and UDP Port 3724. World of Warcraft (WoW) game client uses TCP whereas Voice Chat features use UDP.
To open a port in Windows Firewall:
a. open the Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking Security, and then click Windows Firewall.
b. click on allow a program through Windows Firewall. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
c. click Add port.
d. in the name box, type a name that will help you remember what the port is used.
e. in the Port number box, type the port number i.e. 3724.
f. click TCP or UDP, depending on the Protocol.
g. for changing the scope of the port, click on change the scope and then click the option that you want to use. ("Scope" refers to the set of computers that can use this port opening).

I received two telephone calls from a seller who claims to represent Microsoft saying that my computer was "unwanted download." He has given two different names for him society, something like 'Windows provider Services' the first time and was the call from a blocked number. He directed me to some information in my System Manager (right click on computer, then Event Viewer) who recorded downloads of updates to MSWindows (lucky I knew what I wanted to). I wanted Microsoft to know that there were people claiming to be outside suppliers working for MS calling and giving misleading information. I do not see who to contact about this, so I'm posting this information here, hoping someone will pass this along to the appropriate Microsoft part.
I had my Windows operating system from a seller so I knew from the start (before even that I was their number has been blocked) that I was dealing with a fraud, but the guy was very persistent and had an accent of the Indian subcontinent, so if I didn't it would have been pretty convincing.In any case, I hope that this help catch the guy.This is a very common scam, many people have reported what happens to them recently on here, your chance that you could avoid to do this,

Phone call from Windows Support is authentic?
I just got a phone call from a man named Philippe de Windows Support. He said that he was receiving reports of errors in my windows and asked me to check Computer Management Applications to find errors. He asked me to remove these errors. I could not remove so he said: if I went to a Web site that he could delete them for me. I refused to let him to the computer via the code and said that I would like to remind him. His number was 02032865123, he said, that it has been supported Windows. He had an Indian accent. It is a call?
It's my son e-mail account, but it will transmit to me.This is HOAX and FAKE for sure. Microsoft will never contact you unless call you them first and ask for help. Microsoft will never know which PC encourage error.
I suggest you take a look at:
