I was contacted by the company am saying that my computer is sending spam. Are they legitimate?
Am say that they are agents of microsoft and that my computer is infected with damaging files that could harm my computer from web sites and they want to guide me through a repair. Is this likely to be true. I'm suspicious as they called me on my home phone number.
They are FAKE and SCAM for sure. Because Microsoft won't call you for support unless you contact or fill out a proof of support and ask them to call you back for help.
I suggest you take a look at:

Original title: my computer is corrupt and needs fixing!
I received calls from a person in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is damaged, and they want to help me. But I have not received any error message on my screen. When I asked them how they got my number they said it's from the database of Windows. The number they gave me is 02921252715 and when I called the number of the person on the other end told me that they are a company called Windows e-solution, independent company and is not attached to Microsoft Windows. What should I do? Are these authentic calls and approved by Microsoft Windows?

Received calls of 20-30 of India saying that my computer is at risk.
I get calls from the India by saying that my computer is in danger and that they work for Microsoft Windows - they want me to turn on my computer, etc.. They seem to know a lot about me - including my address, phone, how many computers we have etc. It's for real? My computer seems to work very well. Usually, the caller I.D. is blocked but this last time, as the number 161-408-6100 came. I got probably 20 to 30 calls of this nature in the past months - has anyone else experienced this?
Thank you

My computer is sending spam to my contacts when it is stopped. How can I stop it?
My computer is sending spam to my conatcts when it is on or off. How can I stop it? Do I have to change my email address?
I don't think that your computer is sending spam. Someone broke into your e-mail account and is using other computers to send it. Change the password on your email account immediately and contact your email service provider for help with the problem. Boulder computer Maven

BlackBerry smartphones copy a Contact at the company
The duplication of a Contact at the company to another person from the same company should be possible... I think that - which does not help the BB tour (only minor changes to an existing company Contact individual would be required to create a Contact for a different person from the same company, is to say, the new individual name, post a few changes phone # and a couple of e-mail address field changes... everything else is identical to the Contact).
I searched here the text of the object (obtained 0 results), then pulled the 'society' (this time I got 30 results), however, nothing jumped on me like an appropriate response.
Can do what I'm trying to do?
Or, should all be entered again (or caillet & would be) in (to) a new form of Contact?
Thank you, FFF
Hello
There is no function, on the BB, to copy a contact set item to a new article and then make changes thereto. But, if you synchronize for a computer desk or PIM (-), it is a simple matter indeed!
Good luck!

I bought Lightroom from a shop in Switzerland. Setup refuses the activation key, saying that the parcel is a forgery and that I need to contact the customer service. It's Saturday and I would like to install the product by Monday! Is it possible to do? Thanks for your help, best looks.

Thanks to you two, John and Kglad, for your responses. I have contacted Adobe and they had me download the package from their website. The problem was apparently with the package on the purchased version. Problem solved.
Best regards.

Try to change the wallpaper, it says that this feature has been disabled contact admin system
original title: wallpaper
Try to change the wallpaper, it says that this feature has been disabled contact admin, me, system how can I get rid of him?
If you did not disable the ability to change the desktop background, then you can be infected with some form of malware on your computer. I would recommend that you run that a full and spyware antivirus scan to make sure that your computer is clean.
Try this:
1. click on start-> Type on the start search: type gpedit.msc-> press ENTER.
2. under Local computer policy, expand "User Configuration".
3. under User Configuration, expand "Administrative Templates".
4. under administrative templates expand 'Desktop '.
5. under the desk, click on "Desktop", on the right pane, double-click "wallpaper".
6. on the "Desktop WallPaper properties" click on the option button "not configured".I hope I could help

I installed KB263380 KB2572073 and KB2518864 three times with success; However, I get the yellow shield saying that I need to update to Windows XP
I ran the Mr Fixit for this problem, and briefly, the yellow shield disappeared, I thought that it worked. But as soon as I clicked the solution worked and Mr. Fixit was gone, the yellow shield came back and said that I have to update these once again.Thanks for the article. The icon stopped appearing after the third time I've updated from Windows. Someone must have solved the problem to Microsoft. I did nothing except reboot several times. Finally, the Update icon went in itself.

* Original title: MJTriState
Someone from the Tristate MJ (not sure of the name), called, saying that it represents the widows team of Microsoft Support. They had followed my computer (Windows 7) and noticed problems with it because it was very slow at startup (TRUE). He said that my computer has been hacked. He gave me my product windows (OK) key and me had discovered my event log that have trouble with my printer. Then he asked permission to take over my computer and fix the problem. At this point, I hesitated.
The question is done Microsoft outsource monitoring Windows 7 computer in trouble. It seems very likely.

Im trying to buy photoshop but it keeps saying that its not available in my area. I am in the United States and in my area gets bad! I even updated to the United States, but it is not record the change!
Hi Mariam,
It seems that your ID Adobe was initially registered in Pakistan due to which it is not allowing you to make purchases in the United States.
You can create a new Adobe ID, register in the United States and then it should allow you to make a purchase.
Let us know if it works or not.
Thank you
