• A Microsoft technician never call me and would try and confirm his identity by saying that he can tell me my computer"local security ID"?

  I received what I think, it was a fairly brief call from a guy with an accent by saying that he was a certified Microsoft technician and he was contact me because Microsoft had discovered that the 'pirates' (he said this word a lot) already had malware on my computer.  When I asked him to provide a kind of insurance of who he was, the only information he could give me was the city in which I live and a 32 digit number (with numbers and letters) which he claimed my ' computer local security. "  A number, which, according to him, nobody else that Microsoft should know.  Then he wanted me to start writing commands in the box "run" on my computer how I asked him to give me his phone number so I could watch the number he gave me myself and get back to him.  He said his name was Martin David and he gave me the phone number 0704-325-9110.

  I have a hard time to believe that this guy was legitimate.  But I would like to confirm my intuition.

  Thank you!

• Microsoft called my house

  Microsoft called my house to tell me someone was trying to hack into my computer. I hung up on top of the man after him asking a variety of questions would be that he could not answer being:

  A computer trying to be hacked? (His response was that he could tell me after that I followed the instructions)
  How he came to find is that certain telephone number? (He told me that was confidential)
  Where he was calling from. (He studdered and stammered a few places, but never completely answered.)
  What the computer a. Windows program (it was where it even once told me that it did not matter.)

  After that, I hung up on him, and he won't stop bothering me. Now, in all my years of having a computer and my computer spoil on me not a widows nobody called me to inform me what it is. I always had to call them, which is reasonable. I want to know if it is legitimate, which I doubt, and if I can understand how he got my phone number if I can keep someone else to do.

• Microsoft never call their users? I just got a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft and he wanted me to run something.

  I just got a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft. It was obviously of the India.

Then he told me type something in and running. But I refused. I said, how end I call Microsoft and give them your name... HE HUNG UP.

  Hello DianeMcGettigan,

  It is simply one of the many scams that are doing the tour.

  Unless you have a prepaid support contract with Microsoft, then Microsoft will never contact you by phone, mail or e-mail about problems with your PC. You did while refusing to allow him access to your PC. All they want to do is to have access to your PC, so they can steal personal data (banking etc.) on your part.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Microsoft has employees or contractors call peoples houses and make repair unsolicited requests?

  Recently I received two calls from people who say they work for windows saying that something is wrong with my computer.  The first guy ended up trying to sell me a package of protection.  The second guy who never had until now because I did not.  The question is this.  Microsoft has employees or contractors call peoples houses and make repair unsolicited requests?  This question is not to accuse Microsoft anything, but is designed to help me decide if these calls come from someone with no connection to Microsoft trying to take advantage of me.  Thank you.

  No, Microsoft did not do. It's a scam and with various
  the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common these days. See
  http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/08/virus-scams-social-engineering-victims.html
  and

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you leave them in your computer, who knows what they were doing or where
  What confidential information they stole.

  So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
  immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

  2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
  financial sites.

• I would like to know how do I know when legit microsoft tech people call us.

  * Original title: scams

  Hello

  I would like to know how do I know when legit microsoft tech people call us. They seem to know what are the problems of the computer. For example, I know technical support microsoft is outsourced. How can I know who we really are and which one is fake? If I'm registered, it is logical that they call me if my computer is not working properly. In addition, they guide you through what is wrong, before asking to enter the computer. Y at - there somewhere that we could see a list of companies that are partners of support, as well as their locations?

  For a very good presentation, read this--> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/407147/answers-to-common-security-questions-best-practices/?p=2413189 (post #2 in the thread must choose an antivirus program and post #4 aims to choose an additional program to deal with software spyware and other malware that is not strictly 'virus' in nature.)

  Each month, the "Patch Tuesday" Microsoft includes an updated version of the 'Malicious Software Removal Tool"in the 'important' updates.  It's not settling as other updates but "runs once to find infections per prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) on your computer and remove infections it finds."

  In addition, your installation of Windows 7 runs by default "Windows Defender".  Microsoft confusedly used that name to refer to a software that performs different functions.  In Windows 7, Windows Defender is an anti-spyware utility, not an anti-virus.  Windows Defender (for Windows 7) updates are quite frequently provided through Windows Update.  See http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/6397-windows-defender-turn-off.html

  Microsoft also provides for free, Microsoft Security Essentials.  Microsoft describes this as a "guard in real time against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software.  If you install MSE, will be automatically disabled Windows Defender.

  You can also download the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make a unique analysis for "virus, spyware and other malicious software."

  IMO, one of the best tools that scan for malware that the virus is the free version of MalwareBytes AntiMalware.  https://www.Malwarebytes.org/DL-confirm/ . during installation, you will be asked if you want to a free trial of the Premium version.  Yet once, IMO, the Premium, even the free trial version, installation is not necessary.

  The difference between the free version and the Premium version, which is the last runs continuously in the background ("scheduled update and scanning, the safer our real-time Protection Module. ... Another important feature is our blocking malicious Web site").   According to the company, "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not supposed to be a replacement for antivirus software...» [and] works well and should run alongside software antivirus without conflict.  https://support.Malwarebytes.org/customer/en/Portal/articles/1834872-does-Malwarebytes-anti-malware-replace-antivirus-software-?b_id=6438

  A second scanner good anti-spyware is SUPERAntiSpyware.  http://SUPERAntiSpyware.com/  As with MBAM, IMO all what you need is the free version.  Be aware that even the free version by default at startup of Windows startup.  If you install SAS, I suggest to change this option and the program running only on request.

• What happens when ClearTask is never called?

  I use a NOR-6259 with the C API of Linux. What happens when a task program is interrupted and the ClearTask function is never called? Is it possible to query the driver for all running tasks, or better yet, is it possible I can assure that the device reset to a base state?

  In particular in the development, it is nice to be able to simply CTRL-C or something like that to kill a program bug.

  I don't think there is a good way to do it using our C API. If it was on a Windows machine, we have a program called MAX which will allow you to reset the device from there, but I don't think it is available on Linux. I think the only way is to reset the device.

• method object never called

  Hey guys,.

  I'm having a problem with the code below:

  package mypackage;
  
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.Color;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication;
  import net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics;
  
  public class MyApp extends UiApplication
  {
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
          MyApp theApp = new MyApp();
          theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
      }
  
      public MyApp()
      {
          pushScreen(new MyScreen());
      }
      public void paint(Graphics g) {
          g.setColor( Color.BLUE );
          g.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
  
      }
  }
  

  Object the method is never called. I'm new to the BlackBerry development, but judging by my experience of Java, it should work. I don't see what the problem with this code.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  See you soon,.

  Your method object in the code below is simply a local method, since UiApplication does not implement object.

  I think that you wanted to substitute her object in your screen class, but is not what you're doing here.
