Hello
Its a SCAM!
In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.No, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
identity.Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
phone calls to help you fix your computer

Original title: microsoft servvice
I wanted to know if microsoft has sent an email asking for your username and password and what country you're stateing they were at your service day and need information to do
Microsoft will never request this information in an unsolicited email. They are very likely that ask for any sort of password under any circumstances. Scam. Phishing attempt. Fake. Choose your own description. No Microsoft.

When I try to install flash player on my Mac, I get to the Panel who asked for my name and my password, but it won't take my password. Tried to change the password, but same result. Suggestions?
This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.
If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt. If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.

Outlook Express, asking for a username and a password
I have changed some things with att that is my e-mail server. When I got back to Outlook EXpress asked me an ID and a password. Nothing works and can find no way to change this.
What is the secret?
Remove your e-mail account and then add it back again and make sure you have the correct settings under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties. See http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB401738#fbid=ME2cZ8oaog1
Also beware of software conflicting antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

Hello Sir,
I have a problem with one of my SBS Exchange 2003 servers.
At first, I was getting a lot of 3008 errors for a non-delivery report with a status code of 5.0.0 was generated for recipient rfc822; address email is removed from the privacy * all these repeated error messages from the event log, SMTP and Exchange Routing service...
I looked around and discovered more than 10000 .eml in my x:\program files\exchsrv\mailroot\queue folder. At first, I thought that my server or one of my workstations was compromised, but all workstations have local antiviral software (symantec endpoint protection), my server software also has antiviral and I have a mail server antivirus (symantec endpoint protection). I scanned all of the computers on the network and even tried almost all of them closing to see if new entries have been created in the queue.
Unfortunately, more than entries kept by appearing so I kept looking. By opening one of the .eml, I discovered my own responsibility that I attach to outgoing emails if I have my server acted as a mail relay. I checked for this and I have been clean. I kept searching in the .eml and discovered different origins IPs of the Internet. Am I right to assume that my mail server is BOMBED or attacked with emails with false return addresses and my mail server sends return NDR for spammers/compromised machines on the net? I tried to stop the exchange services and tried to rename the vsi file 1 to something else as one of the suggested MSKB, but the file was protected. How can I stop this, it's slowing down my mail server and fill out my HD. I can't block the IP to shippers because it comes from everywhere. Help! There are about 2 to 5 new .eml created every minute!
TKS and best regards,
LT

Receive an email asking me to confirm my bank details. Is it a scam?
Unrecognized renewal - computer problems!
I got an email stating that I need to confirm my bank details I have to renew my account at the end of August. When I followed the instructions, I tells me that none of my computers is known, but I tried to renew the same I used successfully last year - it is a hacker or was it really a true application of microsoft? I use the same email address, I've used for years and have never had this problem before - what's going on please? Needless to say, I will not give my bank details current in everything that I do not trust!
You are quite right to be wary of all the emails asking for personal information - including bank details. My advice is to ignore all the links and contact information on the email and call rather the company that manages the 'account' independently using well known coordinates.
Never provide details of credit card or bank account by email - this isn't sure. That's why companies employ Web pages secure (locks in the address bar http) for the web browsers to use such information.

I have four accounts with btes.tv (served by WorldClient). Firefox asked if I wanted to save my password with three accounts, but he did not go with the fourth. I have re-made preferences/security/save passwords several times without success. I don ' t know what else to do.
Save the name, and the password to connect to a server does not always work. For example it does not with Hotmail (live.com) because Hotmail uses JavaScript to generate the login form.
Web sites may also use autocomplete = off to prevent Firefox to record the name and the password.
You can remove autocomplete = off with a bookmarklet to register the name and the password of Firefox.

That makes me MAD! Windows Mail - checking the user name and password &!
It makes me crazy.For the last few days my Windows Mail keeps asking for my username and password and even if they are correct it still doesn't and comes repeatedly asks me for the info again and again. I deleted the account mail twice now and re added it but it still does not work. I can send emails but not receive. I have McAfee but I aiinstalle only this yesterday so that isn't the problem. the error message is:-
Account: 'mail.talktalk.net', server: 'mail.talktalk.net', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR Authentication failed.', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC92Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah
McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.
Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers. Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.
