  This is a complete scam and one that has become very common these days. . Don't think anything such a caller said, do nothing that he tells you to do and hang up on him immediately.

  At let them into your computer? If you did you are at serious risk for what they could have done it (installed spyware? Identity theft? Steal the passwords?), and I highly recommend that you do the two following:

  1 reinstall Windows properly

  2. change all your passwords, especially those of the financial institutions and online stores.

• I just got a phone call from a man claiming to be a tech windows

  I just got a phone call from a man claiming to be a tech of windows. He told me that he had to call me because of the high number of junk that has been downloaded and my windows updates. Is this for real?

  Hello Angiee57,

  As usual, this is another scam.

  Unless you have a support contract prepaid or you raise a support ticket with Microsoft, no Microsoft will call you about the problems with your PC.

  All these crooks are trying to do is access your PC so they can steal your personal data, which is bank details etc. Under no circumstances should allow you remote access to your PC.

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

• I just got a phone call from a company who said they demanded on behalf of Windows

  Original title: "I JUST HAD a CALL BY a GENTLEMAN WHO LOOKED THE ACCOUNT THEN TYPE ' EVENT .

  I just got a phone call from a company stating that they were working on behalf of Windows he asked me to turn on then press control and 'R' together - when the dialog box open to type in "EVENTS", I put the phone down - I don't want to be rude, but is this real society - I was unable to call the John company

  Hello John

  Without that society is not authentic. It's all part of a scam to gain access to your pc and steal your personal data.

  Unless you have a pre-paid with Microsoft, support contract they (Microsoft) will never contact you for problems on your PC.

  You did the right thing by hanging up on them. If that happens again, just ignore them.

  I think to upgrade my computer to a mac from Apple. Can I download my programs on the new computer. I currently use a laptop running Windows

  Hi,

  I see you have a subscription of photography under the enamel even as with the forums.

  You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

  You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:

• Have I been scammed? -Received a call from Windows saying pirates were trying to get access to my computer

  I just got a call from windows saying pirates were trying to get access to my computer and asked me to go to the run menu and type eventvwr and go to security and count the red Xs and yellow triangles, after that I said I was under 18, they told me to wait for their phone call.  They also said that they were in England in the Department in charge of piracy (not the exact words), I was wondering if it was a scam because (don't not to sound racists but) they sounded to the East Indies and I read on some other getting calls of the people of the East Indies and it didn't sound like a normal call center because there was a lot of noise in the background it all seemed a bit suspicious to me.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always 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 .

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• Upgrade Express on 7, that an error has occurred in the script on this page. Line 0. Char from 0. Script error. code 0. "with a URL

  Hello

  After looking on any 3rd party retailers appear Anytime Upgrade key for 7 to professional.

  When I try Anytime Upgrade system that is integrated and use 'go online to choose Windows7 edition which is best', an error box comes in reading "an error has occurred in the script on this page. Line 0. Char from 0. Script error. code 0. "with a URL.

  When I try the store I find nothing either. Can I deduce that Microsoft no longer sell upgrades between versions of windows 7?

  Whenever upgrades have long past gone

  Finally unless you are interested in win-10 which is.

  Many win-7 pro autour on Newegg and Amazon, but they are not at level only oem / system integrator.

  You could buy one and a new ssd / HDD to install on and use the original win-7 to move to 10 - win

  Then passed to win-10 pro for 99.us.
