    Chances are very good that you will never know who hacked your email. I'll tell you this, however. I answer questions of computer in order to help people with their computer problems on many different forums. I can't tell you how many times I've seen issues where someone hotmail has been hacked. I rarely see this problem with Yahoo Mail. Gmail (from Google), or any other e-mail service. My line of thought is the question, or I should say the cause, is linked to all calls to scam people get the India with the con man, who claims to be with Microsoft. In many cases, these crooks know the serial number of the computer to individuals. Received calls more often follow a software crash in which the 'Send' error report 'do not send' appears on the display of people. That, in itself and tells me that it is an inside job. It is more convincing when you consider that Microsoft has moved almost all of their centers of support for the India. Someone somewhere (MS India) is selling this information.

    Scan your computer with Malwarebytes. Make sure that update you it before analysis. This is to ensure that no keyloggers on your computer, steal your passwords and/or credit card information. If you need help to use Malwarebytes click HERE.

    After completing the above steps, contact MS and tell them to move their call centers in the United States. These incidents constantly, but will be will be diminished.

  • Cannot send emails with Hotmail today

    Since yesterday, I can't send emails or make the answers with Hotmail. Before that, everything was fine.

    I have the same problem on several Mac and all at the same time. (Mac have different OS_.

    I can however, send emails with Safari without any problem, so there must be something with Firefox.

    Perhaps Microsoft changed something on the Outlook site (I guess when you connect you are redirected to the new site of Outlook). The site behaves as if sitting them buttons are "dead" so that the message is just there, or do you have an error message?

    Have you noticed all the other strange behaviors on your Mac Firefoxes, such as errors in secure certificate?

    Here are a few general suggestions:

    When you have a problem with a particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clear your Firefox cache and delete your cookies for the site.

    (1) delete the Cache of Firefox

    Sometimes, these temporary files mingle with files in a way that breaks a fresh site.

    This article has the steps: How to clear the cache of Firefox

    If you have a large hard drive, this may take a few minutes.

    (2) remove your cookies from live.com (save all pending work first of all if you can). While displaying a page on the site, try either:

    • Right click and select View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
    • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.
    • Click on the globe or padlock icon in the address bar > additional information > "View Cookies".

    In the dialog box that opens, live.com or mail.live.com should already be filled up. You can delete cookies from the site individually.

    Then try to reload the page and sign in again. Who help me?

    Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    MediaSense - 11.0.1

    Highway - 8.5.1

    So based on the documentation below if I go to CUCM 11.5 UCCX must be upgraded to version 11 and highway be upgraded to 8.8? MediaSense is ok here its version 11?

  • Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8? Get the error codes for the security updates (0 x 643). ALL through Microsoft Tech INFECTED with the virus and Trojans tried. I need help BADLY. Thank you.

    I tried every thing blessed with technology microsoft... always hanging in limbo here.  Tired of doing constant comprehensive analyses, etc. in order to remove the constant threats.  Apparently my McAfee can't stay with her either.  Need help with the download/repair these seeds as soon as possible.  Thanks to all those who wish to help me - it would be that popular, for sure!

    The question makes no sense.

    "Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8?"

    Two problems: there is no Windows 8 and even if there were, Windows XP Home Edition would not not 'manage '.  ;-)

    I drop McAfee for a few different freeware products.  Or better yet I'd get two products 'cost' (~ 25 and 60 dollars) and install them and use them in the future - but WHEN you are trying to clean up.

    You seem like you maybe sincerely - at a time when a format/install of Windows XP/patching/installation of applications/patch/restore backups of your data is the best course of action.

    However, if you are willing to work - maybe we can at least get things cleaned up to a certain point where you can get a good backup before doing this (otherwise avoid doing all together.)

    In the order shown, do not jump (no matter what you do, what you have done in the past, etc.) ...

    First of all - download, install, operate and put to update and then run a full system scan with the following two (one at a time, reboot in-between):

    After you perform a full scan with one then the other and remove anything they have all two are completely, you can uninstall these products, if you wish.  This initiative will allow to check there is no malware floating around your system which could cause problems.  If you ask - no, Norton probably does not protect you from what these applications can find.

    Download and run the MSRT tool manually:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
    (Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)

    Reset.

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    Reset.

    Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
    (Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
    (Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

    Reset.

    and...

    Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
    ... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on the root of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

    Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

    AutoScan--> RUN and type:
    %SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
    --> Click OK.

    (If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

    Reset.

    Now try usig the Fixit (Yes - try to use it again) to reset your Windows Components Update (you'll do the aggressive version, not the other):
    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    Reset.

    CHKDSK
    How to scan your disks for errors* will take time and a reboot.

    Defragment
    How to defragment your hard drives* will take time

    Reset.

    Now, open Internet Explorer, visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and do a CUSTOM search for updates.  Install any critical/high-priority ones and - for now - to ignore all those in option (always do this for material updates optional here.)

    Restart if necessary and continue to visit this web page until you have not yet updated to high priority.

    Now - if your problem is with the facilities of the .NET Framework...  You can end up with something like:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx
    to uninstall a few versions of the .NET Framework, then you can try to install again - but you should not do this until the machine is supposed to be cleaned.

  • Hotmail addresses and Aol bounce my bulletins for this month

    Hello

    This month, the latest bulletin, I sent declared hard bounces from some of my clients with hotmail.com and aol.com e-mail addresses.

    The report said "bad destination system address (5.1.2. (système de mauvaise destination: aucun de ces domaines) ".

    I m certain that these addresses are just as they received invoices and previous newsletters. In fact, one of them seems to have received the latest bulletin, despite the system which it claims hard bounce and automatically unsubscribe it.

    Hope there is a way to solve this problem.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi guys,.

    It seems that starting with 25 January we met a route DNS issue between us and the e-mail addresses hosted at Road Runner. Because of this all the campaigns sent their hard bounced.

    We have manged to solve the problem of the road, but as you know perhaps based on our e-mail marketing improvements so hard email address bounces (which 99% of the ways time that does not exist on the Internet) we are placing in a "black list".

    Which means that if someone tries to send emails from another site with the same email address we will be directly mark it as rebound hard without actually sending the email. The only way to remove a user from the black list is the double opt-in e-mail from the admin panel and the recipient must confirm the subscription.

    Now hosted by Road Runner e-mail addresses, we have been able to fix some of them but we are still working on removing all able-bodied black list.

    We expect that will be fixed by the end of the week.

    As soon as I have more details here, I'll reply to this message.

    Thank you
