These messages are never true. Microsoft does not have lotteries, and
Microsoft does not send e-mails.

It is a complete scam. Do not respond to it.

    Hello

    1. do you receive this after you see Start button or entry?

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

     

    Method 1: Boot errors are fixed by the clean boot.

    Perform the clean boot and see if that helps.

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    Reference: How to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: when you're done to diagnose, follow step 7 in the article to start on normal startup.

     

    Method 2: Some malware parody itself as InfoCenter.exe, especially when it is located in the folder c:\windows or c:\windows\system32.

    I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure.

    Here is a link that will give you information on how to perform a full scan of the system:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    , Note 1: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note 2: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

Do not open the attachment.

  • Hotmail account: I can't receive e-mail from addresses that are not already in my contacts list

    I can't receive e-mail from addresses that are not already in my contacts list, for example the library.  My account has been hacked recently, and I have informed Windows CE.  I then installed Avast security.  Since only known e-mail senders spend their emails.  Help, please.

    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    It seems that Avast is blocking messages from anyone not in your contacts list (much too tight fixed).  Disable the function of checking email and see if that solves the problem.  If so, run it without the option of e-mail enabled - it does not really help as long as you take normal precautions (as not to open attachments from people you don't know / trust and things like that).  If you don't know how to disable this feature, contact technical support Avast (I do not use the product so I don't know how, but it's probably under Options or something like that).  If this does not work, try to go to Microsoft Security Essentialshttp://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html where I know that this problem is not happen and see if that solved the problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    If you are allowing others to use the computer, set up a new account for each user.  They would then not be able to display your desktop or Skype messages.
