Microsoft auto download computers crash

I received a phone call last night at 09:30 from some foreign Word lady who said she was with Microsoft and she needed me to go to my computer immediately and she would guide me through measures to prevent that my computer crashes because of something that was being downloaded from Microsoft.  Because I trust no one, I was immediately hooked and went and turned off my computer.  Have you heard of Microsoft to make all those phone calls?

It is a total and absolute, scam designed to steal your personal information or money or both.

  • Adobe Download Manager crashes; offline installers still in older versions

    Impossible to install Flash from Adobe Download Manager crashes on my system, as shown here:

    https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1816846?SR=Inbox & ru = 566489

    Probably because of Adobe Download Manager not requiring now SSE2.

    My solution is to use the Offline Installer. However, the page of the installer in offline mode:

    https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    ... should I have not 17.0.0.188. It is always on 17.0.0.169.

    Is there another place I can get installers for 17.0.0.188 offline, or do I have to wait until someone decides to update the page from the Offline Installer? On that note, how often usually take the Offline Installer page to get updated when a new version is available, so I can't keep asking?

    Hi N.Bauer,

    17.0.0.188 was deployed just earlier today.  Based on the time of your post that you may have been trying to download the files at the time they have been updated.  Updates are usually less than one hour to put up-to-date, but sometimes, depending on the activity of the network, etc., that it can take more time to spread throughout the CAN.  The new files are displayed and download (if you get a trial version once again, or clear the browser cache).  The page content is updated at the same time that the installation files are updated, but right now we are having some issues with the content itself is not updated and strive to solve this problem.  Until the content is updated, the version number on the page will always be 16.0.0.169.

  • Our office has 10 licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro.  One of our computers crashed so we want to deactivate the license and reinstall on a new computer.  How can we check the serial number on Acrobat Pro installed on each computer to determine which series

    Our office has 10 licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro.  One of our computers crashed so we want to deactivate the license and reinstall on a new computer.  How can we check the serial number on Acrobat Pro installed on each computer to determine what serial number is now unused?  I don't want to die with the computer software

    Hi John,.

    It is not possible to disable the license from one computer crashed or possible to check which serial number has been used on computer because they are encrypted.

    A retail license is good to be installed on 2 machines. I checked your account and found 4 different serial numbers of Acrobat registered for your account.

    It is always suggested to buy a volume license, if you have more than 2 machines instead of buy 4 different serial numbers.

    I checked all the serial numbers entered and you have sufficient activation count remaining to cover all your machines.

  • Items 11 on Mac - how to disable auto download?

    Whenever I plug in my camera to download photos, PES 11 opens automatically. It is extremely frustrating, because it is too on my program of Lightroom that I put to open my photos.

    It also automatically opens whenever I click any jpg or RAW pic on my computer.

    I can't find auto downloader anywhere on my computer, and when I go to 'preferences' in the PES 11 there is no place to "turn off" a box to disable ODA.

    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    Wait, wait. You said that you were talking about downloading. If you have just set file association to open these types of files, it is easy to fix, if a little tedious. Find a picture of each type (tiff, jpeg, etc.) which opens at the post-secondary studies. Click on it and press command-i to the read window information. In the open with, change to the program that you want to use instead, and then replace all. For some reason, you may have to do with a file that you have not changed in the editor of PES and the one you have, for each file type that you want to change.

    Hi, Linda18_10,

    When you buy why, you receive a product key why that allows you to register your copy of why.

    To register your copy of why:

    1. Select thebutton.
    2. Select the recording tab in the dialog box that appears.
    3. Click the Save... button. He calls the Save dialog box where you can enter your product key.
    4. Enter your 25-character product key in the product key white entry box. You can type in, or copy - paste the copy of your product key in another window, and then paste in the first part of the input box.
    5. Select OK to save your product key.

    Once your copy of why is recorded, the time of the trial and the watermark are disabled.

    If you uninstall why, you will have to re-enter your product key to save a new copy you install. Please keep a copy of your product key in a place safe.

  • Windows/Microsoft Update downloads but will not install. MSE unable to update itself either when it is installed.

    Microsoft Update fails to install updates and provides no information whatsoever (other that the installation has not of course).
    But the only update I could not go to Microsoft Download Center (fromwhich I could install (nearly) all updates Microsoft Update do not reach), is an update to Windows Security Essentials, which is registered on Ms Update but not available from the Ms Download Center, and which is not detected by Win Security Essentials Update button (this show error code is 0 x 80240022).
    There is definitely a problem with my Ms Update. I tried three different solutions on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 and no fixed it.

    Too late now, my friend.  Running another repair facility - even if you can uninstall IE8 (which you can not according to your last post) - won't fix everything.

    Your only recourse now is to a format the hard drive & then (b) make a clean Windows installation.
