• 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.

• I just got a phone call from a guy who said he was a member of the tech teaml windows

  I just got a phone call from a guy who told me he was technical team of windows and someone had attempted to enter into my calculation, I told her that I don't have a computer, then he asked if I had a laptop that I don't have so I told him that. I asked how he had got hold of my phone number and he said they had the info. I wanted to take this more then I asked what was wrong and he said that if I turned on my computer that he would go through it with me. I didn't believe him, but what to do? Needless to say that I hung up on him, but as I am not very computer savvy so I'm a little worried. Can anyone help please. Thank you

  It is a SCAM, you did the right thing hang up on him. He just wanted your information so he could use it for illegal purposes.

• 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 just got a phone call (no number came as international) to say that Microsoft

  I just got a phone call (no number came came as international) claiming to be from Microsoft and Muicrosoft are aware that my PC has programs that can cause my PC unwanted crash. They then asked me to turn on my pc while they could repair. This looks like a scam to me. Has anyone else had this type of call. I asked a lot of questions and the appellant was very vauge but insisting my PC was going to crash. The appellant gave me a number of 1786 6001340 I asked the appellant to put all this information in an e-mail message, which he said he would. We'll see if it happens. I think it is yet another scam that other users take note.

  It is 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. See:

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

  Microsoft does ever not requested for calls.

• I just got a phone call from a Jamie Johnston, of the UKcomputers.

  I just got a phone call from a Jamie Johnston, the UKcomputers saying that he has been advised by Microsoft that I have a virus in my PC and they know error messages that are sent from my PC it asked me to connect to my PC. I've been suspicious!  Does anyone know if it is authentic or not?

  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.

• Host process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed & Windows must now restart because the DCOM Server process Launcher service terminated unexpectely

  my computer keeps stopping and restarting itself. I get the same messages of 2 error: host process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed and; Windows must now restart because the DCOM Server process Launcher service terminated unexpectely. How can I fix? I used the norton support, run analyses of many, nothing has helped.

  None of the above works though... I didn't know by another forum to download Hitman 3.5 http://www.surfright.nl/en/downloads/home that he got rid of a virus that norton, Norton 360 and Malwarebytes antivirus support could not. I had no problem since :)

• Windows Mobile Device host process for Windows Services farm...

  Greetings...

  I used my iPaq for years with several versions of Windows up to Vista x 64 final, with Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. But now when I plug it into a USB Port it does not connect. Shortly after plugging in I get the message: "Peocess host for Windows Services stopped working and was closed. If I reboot or try another port, I could see a new driver installation message, but the result is the same.

  I tried:

  1 reset

  2 system restore to a time where the iPaq connected

  3. delete the partnership (a new partnership can now be launched because Windows does not connect to the device)

  4. to install the latest Windows Mobile device driver x 64 (6.1 I think)

  5 install the latest Windows updates

  So, what did you do to my system to stop what was working? Please advise me on how I could fix your Windows error?

  Thank you very much

  Kenneth Spencer

  OK chaps... I'm afraid to say that the support system missed me at this opportunity.

  However, I am happy to say that I solved the problem after spending several hours on the subject. What have I done? I did a soft reset on the iPaq and hey presto, it connects now.

  I was invited to do the soft reset because I noticed that ActiveSync on the iPaq couldn't be started. I tried to verify the boot parameters, but as it would not start, I could not see, and still less set.

  So for the MVP: I suggest that next time arises a question about the failure of the connection for an iPaq, or the host process to crash when it is plugged in, you should firsat suggest a soft reset of the iPaq.

  Thank you very much

• "Audio Windows has stopped working" and "host process for windows services stopped working.

  Hello. I recently had to reinstall windows vista on my computer. Everything works well except that I continue to have problems with the audio. When I play youtube videos or to make Skype calls, that the sound disappears and I get the message "Windows Audio has stopped working" immediately followed by the message "host process for windows services stopped working." I remember having this problem in the past, every time that I had to restore the operating system, but I don't remember what I did to remedy. I went to the history of my problem and it's certainly a problem with Windows Audio. What can I do?

  Hello

  1. The problem only affects Skype and Youtube videos?
  2. The sound works fine on the computer in other circumstances?
  3. You reinstall the audio drivers after reinstalling Windows?

• Someone at - it smart enough to: «host process for Windows Services has stopped working...» » ?

  I have spent a week on this problem, looking all over the internet and doubt that someone knows enough to solve this problem. I've been a software engineer for 30 years and never worked on an operating system such as buggy windows Vista (or windows)

  I got TWO errors. They may be related.

  = The first is with Windows Update

  -If you know, I tried:

  At ran windows BITS difficulty
  ran sfc/scannow (it found and fixed some iexplorer 8 _)
  has ran defrag and
  has ran chkdsk
  drivers replaced with the latest news from Toshiba
  has run hardware diagnostics - no problem

  I tried with and without firewalls and AV running.
  I don't run AVG control and malware - no problem

  Windows Update always fails.

  Machine: Vista 32 Home Premium SP2 on a Toshiba Qosmio computer laptop X 305-Q705 4 Gig Duo P7350 Intel with nvidia

  Otherwise, Windows works fine. Net access is fine using Mozilla. Even correctly downloaded files. BUT

  I get this error: windows update does NOT. It gives an error "failed", whose code is:

  0X80072EFE-2147012866 ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED

  Also, sometimes strange, windows displays an error dialog box:

  "Host process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed"

  A check with AppCrashView (wer reports) gives these data:

  I can work in SafeMode with networking (I'm in it now) using Firefox WITHOUT blue screens.

  Now, BOD (bluescreens) seems to be related to the use of the damndable IExplorer 8

  Hey Joe,

  I see that you have updated your drivers.

  Have you updated your chipset for this PC drivers?

  Are you overclocking PC or running a RAID configuration?

  I suggest to remove all external devices during the diagnostic process, except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

  If you think this error is with IE, you can try running it without Add - ons.

  Alternatively, you can try to reset the Internet Explorer settings.

  Here is some information on this process:

• _ "WindowsUpdate_800700CB" "WindowsUpdate_dt000" ___Host that process for Windows Services has stopped working as was the closed .___The system not found the environment option entered .___User control of accounts

  I tried to download a 'Virtual Villagers' Limewire program (what was I thinking?) and then I had all these virus that messed up my computer big time.

  I have the error messages are:

  Host process for Windows Services has stopped working as was closed.

  The system could not find the environment option that was entered.

  When I try to install the updates:

  "WindowsUpdate_800700CB" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

  The change I made before all this was trying to install Limewire "Virtual Villagers" program.

  I tried to go through the files and remove the sources of the Trojans, I ran several scans Malware Bytes (each indent to 4 Trojan horses, Rpot Kits, Ad/Spyware every time) and recently tried the Windows scanner. Who found 2 Trojan horses and withdrawn. Subsequently, I made a Malware Bytes scan which found 1 Trojan and I removed it.

  I'm not able to create, delete or modify anything in the UAC. Uninstall the habit of most of the things I try to uninstall programs and features. I'm more able to control the volume on my computer with the arrow keys and Fn. My Gallery of photos will not preview more and my computer will not install updates. My computer turns off without warning a lot and takes awhile where I can turn it back on and I hope not to have it close back 20 minutes. I try to use the system restore, but it won't work. I don't have a Windows Vista disc.

  How I have difficulty to all this and permanently delete all viruses and malware?

  Hello

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: Try to create another user profile, and then test to see if the problem persists

  No need to shout (all capital letters.)  Most modern publications using a mixture of standard uppercase and lowercase lettering unless they're trying to focus on something specific just because it is easier to read.

  You don't reach Microsoft on this issue.  It's not their problem more someone is trying to rip you off on your money is the people who printed his problem or someone trying to rip you off your car comes to the car manufacturer.  You communicate with the authorities (who will probably tell you that they can do anything with what you little information.)

  As long as you don't give them access to your computer, you're probably fine.

  If you gave any personal information or leave them on your computer - to worry.
