Microsoft monitors all PC?

I received a phone call from someone who later claimed to be Microsoft. They advised me that my PC has a 'problem '. They get complaints from people that I am infect their computer.

When I asked for details on who complained, for how long, they work, etc. the only response I received was Microsoft. They asked my permission to access my PC. I asked for proof that they were who claimed.

This happened to others?

What next steps I can take to avoid this?

Thank you.

Hello James!

No, Microsoft is watching all the PC.

The calling you have received is part of a widespread scam and going long. Microsoft not tell you if you did not ask them to do so.

Never leave no matter how unknown caller have remote access to your PC.

You can / should report this type of call scam here: https://support2.microsoft.com/getsupport/hostpage.aspx?oaspworkflow=start_1.0.0.0&wfname=scamsurvey&ccsid=635514050206231635&wa=wsignin1.0&wa=wsignin1.0

    Microsoft have all Windows 7 OEM ISO downloads and buy an OEM key provider Microsoft Certified OK?

    What I hear for question 1 is it a new Digital River (Microsoft ISO download service) since you can now no longer download the Iso of Windows 7 from Microsoft unless you have a retail key.  Question 2 is explicit thanks.

    No, there is no key only option sanctioned by Microsoft, so be prepared to find the rejected key if you try to download the ISO. The PID is actually built into the authorization key, all other sent by e-mail is meaningless

  • Microsoft Media all-in-One keyboard functionality issues

    * Original title: all-in-one Microsoft Media keyboard problems with Windows 7

    I run a Fujitsu Esprimo E3521 Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz with 2 GB Ram with Windows 7 Ultimate edition. I use the PC as my entertainment system, so I'm under a dual tuner HD (black gold) and a distance from the media library. The system is contained mainly used for the center of the media, but also streaming from Netflix etc.

    I recently bought a multimedia all-in-one of Microsoft keyboard (previously I had been using a keyboard and wireless Microsoft mouse), installed the drivers successfully. However, the keyboard does not work properly. The problem manifests itself in many ways, in media library, I can't select (i.e. the click doesn't sem to function either by using the left click button or clicking with the trackpad) and the window controls appear not (close/minimize/MediaCentre button) when I move the mouse pointer. When I do not press, the keyboard seems to be more reliable when used all first, but then after a few minutes, it no longer responds to click on requests then I need to remove the computer USB dongle and re - insert to get the keyboard to start to answer again.

    I have all the latest drivers, and the system is constantly being updated.

    Any ideas?

  • I have only a single ID and would like to know if its possible to monitor all the VLANS.

    With only one ID I I want to know if it is possible to monitor all my VLAN in the network. I use version 4 ID and VMS MC 1.1.

    If I have to set my internal addresses and those which I define as internal are considered as approved, in the case that I have configure a port in my central switch to monitor all the VLANS in my network and connect the ID to the destination monitor port to sniff all the VLAN, VLAN which I consider as an intern?

    Also, I have switches catalyst 6006 and 6509 with version 5.1 (3) and 12.1 in each case, can I apply for fleeing to take acctions when an attack is detected?

    Is it possible this configuration?

    Thanks for any help-

    I don't know if the ID is used to detect the specific activity you mentioned. You would need to go through our list of signatures to see if it's possible. You can even submit a new assignment and ask this question again.

    As for the actions.

    Cat OS 5.3 should allow you to be able to inject a TCP Reset packets through a span port (requires the parameter enable inpackets).

    In regards to the blocking with Cat OS 5.3, I don't think that this version supports the VACL. You may need to upgrade the version of the OS to chat if you want to block with VACL, and you also need a PFC and an MSFC on the supervisor.

    NOTE: If you have an MSFC making routing you may also block with the traditional router ACL on the MSFC.

    On the IOS running native 6509 (where IOS instead of the traditional CatOS runs on the prime contractor), there may be a problem with TCP resets. I don't know if the port of the monitor (equivalent IOS native span port) will allow the incoming TCP resets. You need to browse the documentation.

    Some versions of native IOS (I think that what you have newer versions) will also allow you to monitor through the capture of Vlan ACLS feature. If the sensor is followed by a VACL Capture port instead of a port monitor then I think that the TCP reset works OK, but I have not tested.

    With native IOS the sensor supports router blocking with the traditional ACL, it does not support blocking with Vlan ACL in native IOS.

    NOTE: The difference between router ACL and Vlan ACL is the Vlan ACL is applied to the vlan and applies to all packages comining and at the exit of the Vlan. While the router ACL is actually applied to the INTERFACE of the Vlan where an IP address has been assigned and only applies to packets routed in or off the Vlan.

    NOTE: Native IOS requires that the master has an MSFC even load the image.

  • Asked to "monitor all network traffic" Fusion 7.1-8.1 Windows plain vanilla VM - I didn't ask for it, how to disable it?

    Hi all

    I created a computer virtual Windows 8.1 on October 1, 2013 with the current, at that time version of VMWare Fusion (not Pro, who has the tab network preferences and the check box associated to whether to display it's fast) on my Mac.

    Since then, I upgraded the version of OS X to Yosemite and the version of VMWare Fusion to 7.1.1.

    At one time, months or years, I started having the prompt below:

    VMWarePromiscuous.png

    A virtual machine tries to monitor all network traffic, which requires administrator access. Type your password for this purpose.

    I don't want to allow this, I never asked for this virtual machine to use the "Promiscuous" mode, I don't want to do, and I can't find anyway to turn this off!

    I always leave the command prompt and everything works fine.  Discussions only I can find this in the forums are all related to people using ESX to vSphere, neither of which I have no knowledge where all used.

    I had an another VM Windows 8.1 on another Mac during the same time, which has crossed all the same updates, and it never shows this prompt.

    Please help make this stupid, quickly go and stop this virtual machine to try to use the "Promiscuous" mode!

    Thank you - Harold

    You have the Hyper-V role installed in the virtual machine?

  • Microsoft Media all-in-One keyboard, reprogramming of the 'home' button does not (wireless keyboard)

    The tone is re-programmable, using Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center. (His new purchase, so I'm a little disappointed).

    So, I changed the default value of "Open Internet Explorer", the so-called "Instant Viewer".

    It only works intermittently.  Sometimes this, each of the following.  Unfortunately quite randomly.  All results are frequent, not just a 'occasionally' that kind of thing.

    • Open the Instant Viewer
    • Opens Internet Explorer only
    • At the moment flash Viewer, but he goes and opens Internet Explorer.

    Sometimes it is literally alternates between them a press after another, sometimes he's alone for many presses in a row.

    Of course, I went back in the center of the keyboard and mouse to check that "Instant Viewer" is still selected, and it is.

    Also the same thing happens if I choose "Flip" for that key, it works randomly, as shown above.

    Is this simply a behavior "pure bug?  It "does not work as stated? Or y at - it another way I can get a consistent operation of this key?

    Thank you

  • Control within the first screen takes the whole monitor all the time

    At first it happened from time to time and now it happens all the time.

    I have two monitors and when I'm not working in first Pro CC image what ever is on screen in the PP I'm working currently on will take succession the entire screen 1... Monitor 2 is fine and is never the image.

    This happens only when I'm not working directly. So if I switch screens or just take a few minutes break from PP I will come back and the entire screen will be the last image I had on the monitor in PP I was working on. Never another image.

    When I click a few times on both monitor and / or come and go with my mouse between the two monitors and click on it will return to the screen of PP work and I can then work for a bit.

    I noticed it doing when auto save a few times, but that might just be a coincidence.

    This happens only on PP and no other program CC or any other software I've ever used besides... Premiere Pro only

    And he would do with Premiere Pro 5 as well until I'm Cloud

    Ideas?

    Thank you!

    Uncheck the monitor 1

    Check the screen 2.

  • Is it possible to use the wizard to analysis of Microsoft with all-in-one HP Officejet 7410?

    I have a HP Officejet 7410 connected to my system and it works well had to analyze the documents, that I prefer software that comes in the accessories of Windows XP. Naturally, the HP software overrides this facility and the scanner is not seen. Is it possible to make visible in the Microsoft program?

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    If the printer is connected by USB cable, you should find the scanner icon in the control panel > Scanners and cameras. If you double-click on the icon of the scanner, it should start the wizard for scanning.

    Any suggestions?

    What PC do you have?

    Sometimes, when there is sometimes integrated VGA and DVI on the motherboard, the DVI is DVI - D, which would mean that you can not use an adapter as there is no analogue. This document gives more details, http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00377019
