• Ive been telephoned to say theres a problem with my computer.

  I have phoned me this afternoon by a company who said they worked for windows, and that there is an error on my windows system. This company called P.C. SOLUTIONS, in my view, that couldn't understand the gentleman much, ti due his indian heavy accent. This is NOT the first time ive bn conntacted by this company. They knew my phone number and name ect, so was very worried. I told them I would contact windows, if there were a problam but can't find a number fr them. I don't know if it was a scam or not, cos ime a beginner computer and have cancer of the eye, so have a hard time to see and understand anything on my PC. My companion has checked my pc and told everythings ok, and there is no error message. ALL my dishes of virus and security are in place without any problem. PLEASE, HELP OR INFORMATION ON WHAT TO DO WILL BE GRACIOUSLY RECEIVED, THANK YOU.

• I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer.

  Original title: hoax call?

  I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer. They know this, because I have generated error reports. When I asked how I could be sure who they were they led me to a screen with a ref to no error report. and he cites correctly for me. When I was asked to sign up for control of my computer for them to correct these errors, I refused and hung up. What happens with all those errors that we report to microsoft when our computers generate the error reports and how these appellants knew my error report reference.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, donot give access to your PC, not give them all the money and donot go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Error reports contain no personally identifiable information. These people are hoping that your system recently sent to Microsoft to make their call seems more legitimate.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security.

• Had a call saying I have errors on my computer - is my computer at risk?

  Someone called and said that I had errors on my computer. They asked me to open the Run dialog box. They say they have identified my laptop on the CSID number (whatever it is). Asked me to open the boxes to confirm what I did until they told me to type in their Web site. When their Web page has come I'm suspicious, but I have not downloaded anything. Is my computer at risk because they identified the number of CSID from my computer?

  In addition to information from the ball, change your computer password immediately if you do not already done.
  Access control/click Panel UserAccounts.
  Click on manage another account and see if there is any administrator account that you did not create.
  If you have an unidentified account, delete the account.
  Make sure that you have access to your administrator account before you delete any account so that you block yourself from your computer.

  Then, Microsoft does not make calls to consumers about the security of their systems.
  Don't give control to the appellants know who want access to your computer.
  They can create a door entry backdoor on your computer then it is a dangerous practice.

  Microsoft offers free Microsoft Security Essentials to protect your computer from viruses and malware.
  Download it from the following location:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/security_essentials/default.aspx

  The CSID means ID Station called usually required for faxing.
  Or College ID number. In my opinion, that they just tried to fool you with their terminology.

  I hope this helps with your question.

  You can use the following methods that can help you solve your problem:
   
  Method 1: Put the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists:

• I have problems with my computer with the time remaining after I reset the clock and made sure it was on the correct time zone and summer time has been check the battery has also been replaced

  and it will not keep the exact time it will keep accelerate at least 5 minutes or more.

  I don't know what else to do about it. You can someone help me?

  I still find myself make too many assumptions.
  First of all, I guess your derivative of clock occurs during the time when the computer is running and not during the period where it is off (or immediately early)?
  Second, I'm assuming that when you run the command "w32tm/Resync" above, the clock made it back to the correct time and no errors were reported?
  Third, you say that your clock drift 5 minutes or more, but you do not tell us how long this gain occurs.  It is two times more win if you wait twice as long to check?  Is the gain gradual or sudden?  Keep he wins or if he stops wins once it arrives before?

  Conditions of default for a computer connected non-member of the field, the time will be updated network-time only at the start and then once a week.  If you are winning too much too quickly, you can adjust how many times your computer asks for time.  Computers in the domain must be more precise and one every hour for a default time synchronization.  You can set your W32tm to that of a computer in the domain to resynchronize your computer more often (SpecialPollInterval).  Here are two articles that describe the clock settings:

  "How to synchronize the time with the time service Windows in Windows XP"

• Suspicious call telling me that I have problems with my computer and turn it on

  I got a call tonight from a woman with a heavy Indian accent, claiming that there was something very wrong with my computer (virus, or something like that) and she wanted to check a number on my computer (ISP?.. .not ISP because I know what it is... another type of number) and I could only get the number if I turn on my computer.  Been suspicious so I asked who she was.  Quickly, she replied that she was working for a company that supports Windows XP and Vista.  I asked the company and name and she said his company's Solutions megabytes and it was called Genny/Jenny Williams number 102 (I asked his employee number).  I informed her that I was very suspicious and asked for a phone number.  Basically, she said that she only wanted to help and could not if I don't turn on my computer.  I pushed and asked for a phone number as she says that she asks xxxx (town 2 miles where I live).  I was persistent and spoke to him longer then told him to give me his number and I'll call him his back to make sure it was legitimate.  Suddenly, there was silence on the phone.  I was right to do what I did?  I am now very worried that maybe I have a virus/spywear on my computer (I am currently scanning it w/Windows Defender and Weboot Anti Virus and Spy Sweeper to see if it comes out clean.)

  It is a common scam. Do not give them information, do not give them access to your PC and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment. See:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  (these people often but not always use the name of Microsoft)

  If you had him leave on your computer you would certainly had malware on it, because she would have said it. You did the right thing.

  There is no way she could know whether or not you have malware on your system before she calls you.

• I keep getting calls from people who say I have errors on my computer

  im just wondering

  IM wondering if microsoft is aware that there are ppl ring telling me they are Microsoft and that they had reports of errors in my pc, and they would help me to remove them, they then ask me to go to another site where to download a tool that allows them to take over the pc...

  Yes, Microsoft is aware of it.  They even published articles on this subject.  See http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/phishing-scams.aspx.  This type of phishing is quite common.
