'Microsoft called ask me questions on error messages.
A little earlier, about 2: 00 a.m. HAR, I received a call from a number private saying be a Microsoft representative. He said that I had to run CMD and read my liscence number. Well, he read out of me and Im wondering how he knew. Ive ben read on the Eventvwr and she also happened. I thought it was a scam because it should not have had any reason why Microsoft would call me without set me up a phone call or go with a Live Chat. How this man knew my Liscence information? "zfSendToTarget = CLSID.

Dear friends, I am struggling to dial any phone number. When I press on the symbol of the dial, it immediately returns the error message 'arrested contacts' - ' o is parou - in Portuguese.
I already tried to clean the cache and the data of all the apps, tried the hard reset and still the same error. What could possibly be wrong? The errors began after I composed a total of 16 numbers huge telefone number (XX XX xxx xxx xxx xxx). Could it be related to that?
Thank you all!
Billy of the Brazil!Hello
Dialing a long number should not affect the Dialer in this way. I suggest you factory reset on your phone via the settings > Backup & reset > reset data. Before you do a factory reset, you might want to backup your data.

Received a call claiming that Microsoft Corporation has received my laptop error messages
The call came out of an unknown number and they asked me to execute commands on my laptop and that reciting my CLSID it checked they were Microsoft. I didn't feel that this call was legitimate, so I hung up but I am worried, because they actually recite the correct CLSID but my virus, malware can't find anything suspicious on my laptop.
All suggestions, advice.
Thank you.
This is a phishing scam. Never give out information on, or allow access to your machine.

Can not uninstall program called tv.addons.ag, and I get an error-NSIS error message?
(Moved to install, upgrade, and activate)
Hi Tom,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
The NSIS error message box (Null soft Scriptable Install System) basically means that the executable user or a Setup installer tries to run is damaged or incomplete.
NSIS error can occur for the following reasons:
(1) software files downloaded from the Internet are not complete.
(2) downloaded the software, the files have been changed since the original version.
(3) your PC is infected with a virus.
(4) physical media used to install the program is damaged.
(5) materials required (for example, CD/DVD player) is defective.I suggest the following tasks and check to see if it helps:
Note: Try to install your software, after the execution of each task.
(1) clear the cache and cookies in your Web browser.
I suggest you follow the link on how to remove the cache of Internet Explorer below.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/delete-manage-cookies#IE=ie-11
(2) if the name of the downloaded installer files composed of several words, rename it to have only one word. (Example: SoftwareNameInstaller.exe)
(3) if it is available, download the file for installing software from another source approved.
4) update your antivirus/security software.
(5) disable your antivirus and any tool on your computer download accelerator, before to perform the download.
(6) I suggest you try to download and run the Microsoft Security Scanner that allows to remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. Check out the link below to download Microsoft safety scanner http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Was not asking for window pop up with error message
As for the other Unasked for Popup window question, my error message is a little different. (I tried, also, to solve the problem using the suggestions appear on the Web site.) I also get the rectangular black box with the title of "tasking.exe", with the following message:
The message is this: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\my name\AppData\Local\browser extensions\client.exe'.
I would appreciate any help with this!
I also tried the AutoRun and did remove all the items highlighted yellow - but I still get this message.
Thank you!
Run the tool Process Explorer (Procexp) from Sysinternals, it's a bit like the Task Manager.
When the screen unwanted opens again, open Procexp, click target and select window/box you concern. Procexp will then highlight the line which is the process the institution has this pop-up - this should give a better idea of what is causing this problem.

Microsoft called the owners of computers on the virus?
I recently got a call at my place of residence of a person saying that they were calling from Microsoft and that they were receiving error messages from my computer as a malicious virus was downloaded on my computer. They really say this without having access to my computer and what they are doing he used to call people to their personal residences? When I tried to tell the person that I don't download games or music on my computer, he said "I don't trust you." I was pretty shocked and hung up, but then I started second guessing myself. Someone at - he heard of this? Is this some kind of scam?
