I guess it's a some fake phishing e-mail and not microsoft?

Windows user,.

It has come to our attention that your Microsoft installation documents windows are obsolete. Each installation of Windows must be linked to a daily update e-mail account.

This requires you to check the e-mail account. Failure to check your records will result in account suspension. Click on the button check below and enter your details on the next page to confirm your records.

Hello Sally gardener.

I agree with your premise. Why do you ask? Updates depend on having you an activated copy of Windows. He is unresponsive to your e-mail address. Once Windows is activated updates will be downloaded as usual.

Microsoft have no 'daily updates' updates are downloaded specific all Tuesdays of each month.

The only time that your email address is used is when you "register" your copy of Windows. Registration is not required, Microsoft does not the e-mail address of each unique user of its software. I have, on the one hand, never recorded all copies of the software from Microsoft with Microsoft.

Treat is as a scam by email and do not respond.

This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Outlook Express - some "cc 'd" e-mail has not arrived.

    I don't get some group mails. It seems that some of them have my email address in the "cc" line They seem to disappear, not even in the deleted record (where to go of blocked emails). How can I check the settings and "unlock" it so that it does not happen? Thank you!

    Blocked sender would put the message in the deleted items. Check your message rules. It's the only other thing in OE that can cause your problem. You can also check on your server Webmail website and make sure that it is not no matter which setting it blocks messages and also to see if they are in the Inbox on the server.

  • Even though I have my Windows Mail spam set to the highest level, I continue to receive unwanted emails. For some reason any Windows Mail does not block them. How can I fix it?

    I have my blocker spam Windows Mail, the highest value which means I should only receive emails from my contacts.  Despite this, I continue to receive unwanted emails.  This has been so since I've upgraded to Windows 7.  I even went now install a machine program washing 'spam' which was a disaster as well.  I get about 4-5 spam emails a day - usually when I start the morning.

    How can I solve this problem?

    What Windows Mail in Vista or Windows Live Mail in Win7? If it is a POP3 account, you can filter your messages by using message rules. This is for Outlook Express, but it works the same either of the programs.

    Start with the only rule of AddressBook and you receive a message that you want people not in your address book (E-mail from companies, bills, your ISP, etc), you can add them to the rule.

    Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it out}

    Box 2 - Check: delete it & stop processing more rules if you want messages not in the address book to go to deleted items, or you can create a spam folder and direct them here.

    You can choose to delete the server, but be careful because you never have messages downloaded to any folder, if you choose this option.

    Box 3 - Click on the blue words contains people

    Click on the first address to select it. Scroll to the end and hold down the SHIFT key while you click the last address. This will highlight all. Right-click on it and click on from the menu that appears.

    Now, click Options and choose: Message * contains no of * the people below in the top of the page Options area, then choose: Message corresponds to one of the people below in the background Options box.

    OK your way out of the new rule.

    Now, only the addresses that you entered will be uploaded to your Inbox. You won't see other emails.

    Remember, if you add a person to your address book, you must add to the rule. It will not automatically be added.

    Be sure to see these links for more options.

  • Some links don't work is not on iPhone/iPad

    Hello and happy new year,

    I have a strange problem and not sure where to ask, but maybe someone has experienced something similar.  I create a digital magazine using InDesign, I use Adobe presets to create a PDF file for distribution to subscribers.  I use the parameter to include hyperlinks.  Inside of the document I have links of different types (some just text links and some photo links), usually when an image is clicked, it routes the end-user on the advertisers site.  It works fine for all hyperlinks on the whole when I'm on my PC.  I can then post the link to the PDF document in the Safari browser on my iPhone more 6 and all hyperlinks work, but two.  However if I open the document in iBooks none of the links work at all.  If I use Google Chrome on my iPhone that all the links work.

    I was wondering if maybe the two links that do not work had something unique, but they are no different than other links that are not working so I am at a loss.

    Thank you for reading

    I saw a solution to the problem, still don't know why the original file did not work but I eventually re-create a sample page to share and it has worked very well in all areas, so I guess that just something has gone wrong.  Thank you for your answers and help, I greatly appreciate it.

  • Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension.

    Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension. If I download these files using Internet Explorer, they open properly. I can add xls or xlsx file and it will open properly with Excel. If I select the file open the 'Open with' dialog box and I If select Excel, the file does not open at all... nothing happens and Excel does not open. The excel in the picture as an attachment file are those where I added the excel file name extension.

    Unfortunately, the way that Firefox gives the name of file is more literal and less improvisational than Internet Explorer, you may need to add this extension .xls or .xlsx yourself from time to time.

    If you want to do it in the shortest time, you can change the immediate download to ask you where to save the file, which also foresees the possibility to change the file name. If you want to try it, the setting is described here: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.
