LogMeIn scam - I fell for it and they have remote access for about 10 minutes
Unfortunately, I DID it! Now, I really really need to know how my system is safe? I didn't delete anything, but they have remote for about 10 minutes. Can't believe I was so stupid. Usually when I see a no retained on the phone my antennae is double alert, especially in the late afternoon because of the time difference. I rang Microsoft in Dublin that patched me through to a guy who said that these Indian guys are after having sold an antivirus software and not pirates. But how do I know? I changed passwords on the number of computer and PIN for the Bank etc. but I've never had this happen before and I'm stuck at halfway in the Atlantic with no backup. I'd like to get some comfort please?

Unfortunately, you did * that *? Did you leave some calling that claimed to be from Microsoft on your computer. If so, the risk is very great. They may have installed malicious software, stolen passwords, etc.
I strongly recommend that you immediately reinstall Windows and change all your passords, particularly those of financial institutions, online shopping, etc.

iOS block report because of the third-party application, I answered and they managed remotely on the computer, now I know it's a scam, I turned off and reset the password, I'm in the clear?
If you allowed anyone remote access to your computer (and you're talking about a computer since you mentioned iOS which is the OS for iDevices; computers run on Mac OS X), while no one knows what they were able to install. Assume the worst and:
Notify your credit card company / bank of potential fraud
Change your bank accounts and report your fly/fraud credit card
Change all of your passwords
And, finally, erase your entire hard drive and reinstall the OS from scratch using recovery or your original installation disks.

How can I delete an email without sending a confirmation to this account? My hotmail account has been hacked and they have added an additional email address to recover passwords for security. To remove the address, the only apparent is to send a confirmation email to the address I want to delete. It is counterproductive. I have a password, but if they can obtain the information via another email address, my account is never going to be safe. I got this address for a long time and do not want to lose. However, he begins to feel that my only option is to go with another provider.
Thank you

I have some old MS programs that have served me well. I have no need to update and learn new applications each year for my home use. I installed Office 97 under Windows 8... actually I don't need Word 97 and Excel 97 for my use domestic. These 2 programs worked well after that that they were installed. I went back later to reuse them, and they have been completely removed from my computer. Other than for Member States to make more new money software to sales, I see no reason why my old programs should disappear like that. I had other programs disappear in the same way. and it's very annoying! How can I stop my programs disappear?
You can use the latest versions of Microsoft Office in free Skydrive and free cloud storage as well. Check it out here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/skydrive/download?ocid=SKY_O_WOL_SM_SkyD_SKYD_Null. Hope this helps and if you need any other help post and I'll be happy to help you.

Sony Xperia z3 Turned off and will not charge after being immersed for about 5 minutes
As the subject says. My Xperia Z3 was submerged for about 5 minutes in less than a foot of water. He was in charge at first, then it started to vibrate. The model will thus: 1 (typical to indicate the load power) Vibration, then a Triple vibrator. At this point the LED on the phone turns off. Now he's going to restart this process again and again until the phone is disconnected. That submerged while the phone components were closed and did not open. As far as the damage is concerned, it is a crack in the root of the hair in the backglass and part of the bezel has started to peel off near the camera for unknown reasons. Once again this damage is very slight, and only someone who knows what the phone looks like new would see same. Any help would be apperciated.
I'm sorry to see it, but you will need to contact your local care Xperia

Request a trial of vacuum.
The crack may be the cause of the water damage.
