Meaning of the heading 'mistake' in Event Viewer

Yesterday, I received a phone call from a person with a heavy Indian accent who identified himself as part of a company that is authorized by Microsoft to adivise me that I had been hacked and that neither Windows nor Norton could stop him.  To check its authenticity, he sent onto me my computer that gave what he calls my Windows 7 ID number and then he recited to me.  He then sent me to the observer of events that had a long list of events, which some had a yellow alert tag and others who had a red circle with a "!" inside and 'Mistake' next to it.  He said this was a major problem who wanted to take control of my computer to convince me of the problem and Sir sell me a c program to fix this for $177.  What it is all about and I have a problem?

Scam. Do not pay attention to such unsolicited telephone calls.

  • Errors and warnings in Event Viewer in the field of applications on a laptop running Windows 7.

    I receive a number of warning and an error message in the event viewer in the field of applications on a laptop running Windows 7.  Is there a way to fix this or fix another way?

    Here are some notes on the event viewer reports that can help you. When you have a lot of mistakes, you need to focus on system errors and warnings, even if it's the applications that are giving you grief. Problems with the first sorting system can do the easier application problems. Note the time that the computer is started last and deal first with those at the beginning of the boot. Correct previous errors can be solved later.

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes four major newspapers in Windows. These are application, security and system with Applications and Service logs as a source more details... For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the button copy on the general tab allows you to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

    8. for Vista and Windows 7 Google is the best source of information. Search for selected text in the Description part of the report (not of the particular words of phrases) that "this exact word or phrase" Gets the best results. Focus on Social Technet and Microsoft Answers reports in the last 12 months. Look elsewhere if a response is difficult to find.

    Gerry,

    Thank you for your response.  It gives me a better understanding than the data stored on my computer that may be able to help me, and you have introduced me into a player.  I've posted the system log here and it includes hundreds of lines.  However I do not know how to make it visible to you.  I checked it to share and the only file that is serious is one that you brought me to download.  Although I have not found the answer to my problem, I found your advice gave me a better understanding about the tools that are available.  Maybe I'll get to understand how to use them.

    It's me serious concern. This means that an unauthorized user has installed access remote asteroid Trojan or malware on my system? How can I fix this and prevent subsequent instances of what's going on? Thank you for your contribution to this issue.

    Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, it seems to be a problem with the remote of a web of computer resource access as it is connected to internet or malware/virus infection.

    I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: 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.

    Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • How to remove bad Event Viewer logs?

    I have a lot of newspapers uncomepleted like google earth when the download is comepleted he'll say something wrong when you download try again and every time I do alright on your Observer newspaper events and as a warning I not his mess up my computer thats why im tryin to c, if I can remove warnings , what will happen, thank you

    * original title - can u remove the wrong logs in Event Viewer that is alert *.

    Hi jb1961,

    One entry warning, error or information in your event log do not "mess up your computer", but it takes place and so continually underway, makes it harder to see the other topics.  So also fills the space of Event Viewer so that the replacement of the older entries occurs earlier than she is otherwise perhaps - but in general there is a lot of space so fixed at default levels.  Incomplete newspapers in the example you used are also too much space, but it's better another question, addressed through the support of Google Earth web site or forums.

    You cannot remove specific entries from logs in the event viewer, but you can filter the events.  As I don't know what OS you use, I'll provide procedures for XP, Vista and W7.

    For XP: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/nt_filteringevents_how_ev.mspx?mfr=true.

    For Vista and W7: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722058.aspx.

    *****************************************************

    To completely clear the event logs, follow these instructions (but it's the whole journal, not only an entry application or event - so I don't think that's what you want): http://www.ehow.com/how_5886147_delete-entries-windows-event-log.html.

    How to delete a specific entry from the event logs: http://www.ehow.com/how_6039004_remove-entry-event-viewer.html.  NOTE: I am note quite sure this removes only the entries that were held (does so must it be restored) or prevents also any future entries like this - so be careful before to do this and make sure that you are aware of the possible consequences (see again this entry).  A possible workaround might be to first copy the entry elsewhere, delete it the registry then, restore the entry in the registry and who can delete past events but allowed future events always appear (or it can restore once restored previous events and so unnecessary - I am not sure).  Before you do, if you do, don't forget to back up the registry (the section you are working on the use: the entire thing using http://windowsxp.mvps.org/registry.htmor http://support.microsoft.com/kb/136393 ) and I would also create a system restore point just to be safe.  , But before I did (which I think is unnecessary and just a little risky), I would use the above filter process.

    pe I hoit helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows Fax and Scan/Event Viewer

    I have 2 issues that I believe are interdependent.

    I am running W7 x 64 edition family and until recently and scanning worked perfectly but suddenly stopped. Now the application does not show my internal Modem (soft) or my external Fax Modem - that are displayed in the device (with no problems) Manager. The App said No accounts set up, and when I try to accounts 'Add', nor the modem show and if I try to ' add by using a name, I just get a statement of error message "the mentioned fax server is not available"... telling me to try again later."

    When I first set up fax and scan, I just plugged my Modem Fax (new) and when I went to add accounts - the two Modems showed. I simply took the external Modem and everything worked fine - now none of the Modems are recognized.

    I tried the remedy of re-fax service under control panel of configuration/administration/services etc... is indifferent.

    I looked at a lot of positions since 2007 and this seems to be the problem well documented and a pending problem resulting from an update of Windows, but it is unclear which.

    Of all the posts I've seen, it's a well known error / well documented that has not already been corrected.

    At the same time, my event viewer does not work - when I try to open it, a message simply says "Service not available event log. Verify that the service is running.

    I try to run the service and "starts and stops"... In any case, among the thousands of posts on this topic and also I tried remedies including remove/rename the Windows/system32/LogFiles/WMi/RtBackup

    I think remember me one saying the 2 problems are interrelated. Any ideas?

    Hi Gerry,

    No, I have already gone through Device Manager and no device No. Bad shown.

    Yes, I used fax and scan before several times on my x 64 system and it worked fine until recently.

    HOWEVER, "good news".

    I found a site called http://tools.sysprogs.org/srvman/ SYS PROGS

    The site has a small standalone application called srvman that I downloaded and it allowed me to launch the event log / event viewer / Fax - which none could start the Services on the right menu by clicking on the selection and selection automatic (or manual) and then start. Each of them would start and then stop.

    In any case, they began with this app and then Windows Fax and Scan App and still no joy.

    I then went to "Turn Windows features on or off" and of selected Fax and Scan and printer Opps, then re-selected them (I had tried this method a few times before without success)...

    Restarted the computer and the events/event log viewer / fax and scan works very well... (only thing was Fax and Scan doesn't seem to see my external Fax Modem (soft) modem internal but recognized and 'Fax account' remained together upwards, so all good to go.)

    Thanks for your help... your directions encouraged me to keep plodding on this issue frustrating and eventually got somewhere - but by "Good luck" more than my own 'good management' :-)

  • How to use Event Viewer to erase the mistakes/Vista

    How to use the event viewer.in performance information a tools / tools... built a lot of mistakes over time... Vista Home Basic to system op.  also it would help to speed up my computer?... can someone help me please...

    Hello

    To add to the good advice of dax1792:

    MyEventViewer can be verified at the time of the EVENT or the blue screen (BSOD) within a second
    then the EVENT or time of the BSOD for more information on the possible cause - see TIP.

    MyEventViewer - free - a simple alternative in the standard Windows Event Viewer.
    TIP - Options - Advanced filter allows you to see a period of time instead of the whole of the record-
    Set it a bit before and after the time of the EVENT or the BSOD.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/my_event_viewer.html

    This ulilty also lets you clean (remove) one, several or all the logs in Event Viewer. Only
    real reason to remove them would be to make it easier to read all the new events - those recording after
    compensation.

    I just installed win 7 Ult 7 days.  In the event viewer, I got 1000 errors and I was wondering where I can get help? TY

    And the list continues to become more mistakes as the months go bye.  Usually after 3 monts, my PC slows to a crawl, and I have to reinstall Windows & Ultimate!

    It is very annoying.  I'm not the smartest when it comes to the PC, but I know enough when I have a problem.

    Now, while I was with PC Cleaner Pro, I allowed a representative to take control of my PC to help set, and he went into the event viewer and showed me the error 1007 in

    the event viewer.  He told me that only a technician 35 Microsoft could fix tis problem.

    I would like to know how to solve these problems myself.  If that means classes or tests, I'm ready to get there!

    But for now, I just want to know how to clean and fix the errors in the event viewer

    So if you could tell me please small whet you need to me to help him with this problem, I'm ready

    It's really annoying tio do reinjstall windows every 3 months.  So if you can help, I would be very happy VERY MUCH!

    Errors and warnings in the event logs are not usually a sign of a major problem.

    Unfortunately, there are many technical support providers who refer clients to the event log in order to convince them to pay for questionable services.

    Use of cleaners and Tune up utilities is not recommended. They can often cause problems.

    Use the construct in Windows utilities

    http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/optimize.aspx

    Ensure that all remote access program is deleted from your computer.

    Use a search engine to find information on all the events that occur frequently, specifying the event id and source, for example search for "eventid 512 capi2. Try to avoid scam sites that are always asked by this kind of research. Stick to sites of Microsoft or somewhere like www.eventid.net which is a good source of free information.

  • Symbols of the event viewer and 'Error' or warning

    In the "Event Viewer" window, in the file of the application, there are events 1701. All of these events have a 'mistake' or the symbol 'warning' in the column type.  Is this serious? How did this happen and an average person can solve these erroors and these warnings? Kenny
