I need to validate 2 emails to ensure that they are not scams.

I received 2 emails (see below) of microsoft this week and you want to be sure, this isn't a scam. This e-mail refers to hunger and one from Ukraine. Although the email indicates that Microsoft will help me take corrective action, he didn't tell me how to contact as email is an account "no answer." Your response is appreciated.

    Nothing in Event Viewer, journal should defy explanation.

    Your system of driving wrong way or did you just noticed this in the event log and I wonder why see you?

    That the message trying to tell you is that your system is told to find and load at startup what are probably dll of third part of something you have installed is just an informational message / warning.

    It is possible that something you have installed/uninstalled in the past might have used this feature of Windows that you can read here if you're interested:

    https://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/Windows/desktop/dd744762%28V=vs.85%29.aspx

    You can check to see if there are all the dll specified for load and if there is not, turn off this thing and you will not see the message more.

    You have to look in the registry to see what is happening, and since there is no cancellation or exit without saving the changes in the registry editor, you should first do a manual System Restore Point and consider backup of your registry with the free and popular tool:

    http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/ERUNT/

    The click the Start button/orb and enter in the box:

    Regedit

    And choose to run as administrator the Registry Editor:

    Then navigate here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

    The AppInit_DLLs value is where none of these DLLs are specified and if yours is empty (which means that there is no dll to load) just tell Windows not to attempt to load something that does not exist.

    Check the value of LoadAppInit_DLLs and if it is set to 1, double click it and change the value to 0 (zero), close the registry editor, restart and double-check your event viewer.

    Is there something in the AppInit_DLLs field (a comma or space separated list of DLLs) then you should leave things alone because they are there for a reason any and accept the fact that you will see the informational message whenever your system boots.

  • Safari and Firefox needs ways to hide the tab bar, bar Favorites (bookmarks), so that they are not visible to others your screen, or on the full screen captures.

    Safari and Firefox needs ways to enable/disable/hide (the menu and via shortcuts) tabs, Favorites (bookmarks) bar, (and bar address [which do not have Safari]), so that they are visible to a person who you show your screen not visible on just one full screen. Yes, you can expose a screenshot that excludes one or more of these bars, but it is a nuisance to have to do, and in any case, that still leaves the problem of the bars being visible to other people who show you your screen.

    The extension does not hide the toolbars?

    On Mac in mode full screen isn't really full screen and don't cache not toolbars like on Windows and Linux.

    There are extensions to hide specific toolbars if you can't do via "view > toolbars".

  • Thunderbird will not send any emails... but claims that they are "sent" (no error message)

    Until early this month my Thunderbird worked very well with my roadrunner email address. I have not downloaded any new software or made any changes to my settings during this period. Now I can send is more emails (even though it claims that they are sent), and I never get an error message. I am definitely in online mode, can receive all messages very well and can send messages from my server fine road via webmail runner. I checked to ensure that no firewall or antivirus is blocking my outgoing messages and that the SMTP protocol is correct. Help, please!

    Did you ask Road Runner why your sent emails do not leave their server?

    Thunderbird, says 'send successfully' when it get an acknowledgement from the server that the mail has been received ok for the transmission. Your only option is therefore asking for RoadRunner.

    I need to make a video gallery along the busy, but my videos are about 30 minutes each and that they do not matter in my composition, when I try to import them, they freeze edge lead and I have to force quit. (I've already changed MP4 format). Is there a special way to import larger videos in EdgeAnimate?

    You would need to host or to use a service to broadcast them elsewhere and then use this service (IE youtube) to create the iframe code to move them into your computer.

  • After that I restored the backup Thunderbird using Mozilla Backup, any of my accounts table. I checked that they are in need of backup, lift the mail.

    I backed up my 24 Thunderbird using Mozilla Backup. I did what I had to change one of my accounts. After making the changes, I decided to restore the backup I took. Restore seems to work and I checked the profile is correct and e-mail accounts are in the mail folder. However, when I run Thunderbird, only the Local folder is displayed, any of my email accounts. I really need to get this working I have very important data in the email. Thanks for your help.

    Did you change the path where the mail files?

    And, you use local folders in the GUI of TB to store messages?
    Did not have that clearly in your post.

    According to what you actually did Re: evolution of the accounts, & if the backup has been restored in the way (profile) accounts (and the profiles.ini file) think they are in. if the profile is now in a different path, you will need to change the path in the file profiles.ini to reflect the correct path.

    Also, sometimes after restore or do other work, the *.msf files in e-mail files get damaged or simply confused. The .msf files are in the same folder as the Inbox, sent, etc.. They are the index files - not electronic mail storage files. (the mail storage files do not have extensions).

    Often, when the email that actually exist in the mail files does not show in the accounts, remove only files *.msf in each acct mail storage file will correct it. This is the easiest step to try, but again - it depends on actions leading to the question.

    They will be recreated when TB restarts & apparently can "fix" themselves, to redisplay stored messages. Unless something on current storage files is corrupted.

  • Received an email from myself that I've not sent!

    I received an email in my spam from my own email address - but I did not send the message!

    It happened only once and I have loaded about 3 pieces of a strain of the virus on my computer (Dell Dimension 8300) to clean it out. It was months ago and now reappeared barely (I was monitoring it).

    I have since run the adaware and spybot, AVG on the PC to delete, but I need to know if I should just delete this email address? -What is the email address that has been compromised or my PC? And how avoid that my email hijacked like that? Once that my email has been hacked it right? Should I just create a new one?

    AdAware seemed to get something in my documents and settings (rather than General cookies) and who was kidnapped, but I want to know how it got there because I have all these pieces of virus on anyway?

    PS - no one I know (in my AddressBook) received the same email from me.

    Is it a coincidence that I moved my PC/internet connection on the same day and had bad plug or do any e-mail address that I put to the top of my machine, it will be hijackable? I have to get my PC cleaned by a professional? Or use virus checkers enough?

    PS - I have too many virus checkers on anyway? someone once said that too many is just as bad as anything?

    I know there are a lot of questions here - grateful for any help, thank you

  • Got a bug saying that you are not using af:panelFormLayout that you need?

    Hello

    I got a bug saying that you do not use af:panelFormLayout you MUST. Label colors may not match the standards and norms does not match the spacing between controls. We need all pages to use the default ADF controls inorder to ensure uniformity in any application.

    In my page, there are a lot of panelGroupLayouts, Am I supposed to change all of them at panelFormLayout.

    If not, what exactly am I expected to do?

    Thank you very much in advance
    Sanogo

    Sanogo,

    It is there No MUST using panelFormLayout. I guess these message comes through audits of code rules in Oracle JDeveloper. As there is no such an audit rule, need a custom rule set by your organization

  • Email with a large attachment are not sent.  How to cancel it?

    I sent an email (via my yahoo account but using my mail app on my iMac) with an attached video.  Well, the video was apparently too big and is not stuck and are not sent.  It drives me crazy because I can't access my e-mail and it slows everything down while the circle of Rainbow rotation will not stop!  How can I stop it?  I tried the reboot, restart, force, abandonment of post.  I'm afraid to open mail application more because every time I do, the spinner starts and I am doomed!  Help!

    Menu messaging-> window-> activity there, you can stop sending the mail.

    How great the message you can send is depends on your ISP. They put
    the limit, no Windows, and not your e-mail program.

    Ask them what the limit is, and whether you can change it. But be
    aware that it is likely that you can not have the raised limit.
