  Why did someone Windows is calling to tell me that my computer sends error messages and only they can fix it over the phone?  Is anyone of windows or another?  Please write me back

  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 wouldn't you not solicited. Or they would know if errors exist on your
  computer. So that's the fraud 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

  someone calls saying that I got error reports to the CSM of hacker in my computer

  they had me hold the windows key and r for program box run then type eventwr to show me message error and warning because of pirates, the top of the cookie type show I have no files to delete all cookies in the folder, then certmgrmsc to show my windows is not certified, then iexplore. support.me to check on the warning and error messages.  they wanted me to enter a code 789470 in the last 'iexplore. support.me. I told him how I know that it is that they say it is tec /msc / he gave me his name to John Maher higher tech and Roger Williams first calling me an another tech with a 1-818-572-1445 number to call him back to. I told her that I had no money in my account right now to pay for 5 years @ 199.00 or life 119.00. I don't think these guys are for real. I didn't call back and they are supposed to call me tomorrow if I don't call them all first for money to pay for. We can get them or?

  It's a scam. Just ignore it - they are just trying to make you pay for fake support services, or trying to access your computer to steal information.

  If you let their distance in, do a full scan and change your passwords on your important accounts.

• Im trying to publish a document that I create on Indesign, but when I push producer Folio he takes me to the Adobe web page and tells me that I don't have a folio.  How can I fix?

  Im trying to publish a document that I create on Indesign, but when I push producer Folio he takes me to the Adobe web page and tells me that I don't have a folio.  How can I fix?

  Check if you have created a folio in offline mode (appears with the icon of the computer/processor) to Panel Builder Folio in InDesign?

  Or folio is created under a different account in Panel Builder Folio.

  If the Folio is Offline: connect on Folio Builder Panel using the producer identification information Folio, folio offline select and click Download. Now, you will get this folio in Folio Producer and would be available for the publication of too.

  For more information, see https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/create-folios.html#folio_builder_pan el_overview

  If you are connected to the Panel Builder Folio under a different account: share folio with desired edition account, after the folio appears below the post account. Now, either you can publish or create a copy (to control properly), and then publish the copied folio. Digital Publishing Suite help | Creation of folios

• Just as a reference: how to FIX the annoying 'White Screen Of Death"with Silverlight and"Access denied"error with computer management.

  Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.

  SYMPTOMS:
  -When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
  -If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.

  CAUSE:
  The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
  %windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

  Notice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
  You will probably find any % somewhere.

  What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
  Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.

  SOLUTION:
  -From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
  -Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".

  http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg

  -Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

  -See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".

• Popup - telling me to call 888-979-2448 to see if my PC has been infected - SCAM?

  When I called this number, the person told me it was Microsoft Support and suggested that he needed to take control of my PC to tell me if it was really infected. This looks like a major scam to me. Please can someone confirm that 888-979-2448 is a legitimate Windows support number? Thanks - screenshot attached

  

  All of these types of pop-ups are false warnings - scams. Never call these numbers.

  Since you already called, I hope that allows you access to your computer and just hung on these crooks.

  Please read: PSA: Tech Support scams pop ups on the rise

  Use the Task Manager to close your browser:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/end-process#1TC=Windows-7

  Delete the temporary internet files and restart. After the reboot, the pop-up should be gone.

  Otherwise, follow the steps here: Remove Tech Support pop up scam (call for support scam)

  See you soon,.

• It is usual to technical support to call a client and tell Windows that their computer was in great danger from viruses?

  I received a call today a stone that identified himself as Windows Support calls.  He informed me that my Windows program was in danger of crashing, and if I went on my computer immediately he could walk me through the steps to correct this situation.  I refused, and he said he'll call again tomorrow.  I also Norton Antivirus installed on my computer, and according to the latest analysis today, there is no serious problems.  So, my question would be support personnel Tech Windows do actually contact customers or should I consider this a scam?

  Thank you

  This 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? 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.
