My Hotmail came down and told me that it was hacked.
I went through the process of checking with Microsoft. I also rang machelper.com. They called back me after apparently have access to my computer remotely and want $199.00 or they will put the virus on my computer and they said it locks also my Hotmail account again.
Can anyone advise me as soon as POSSIBLE because they call me tomorrow. They are ligit? Rang Microsoft and they do not have partners!
Thank you, Tracy
Hello
"remote and want $199.00 or they will put the virus on my computer and they said it also locks my new Hotmail account."
"They are ligit?
How could they be legitimate after saying that?
Contact your local agency.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.
If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.
And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.
See you soon.

A Microsoft agent called me and told me that I need to renew my license windows
A person who is called an agent called me this morning and told me that I need to renew my license of windows 7. The operating system provided with the computer when I bought it from Tigerdirect (and he got his inventory directly from asus) and I think he has a great chance of being a scam. He said a life time license costs $100 and I want to ask you if Microsoft really has this kind of agents and if I should trust him?
There are a lot of these current scams. Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls:

I bought CS3 and LR2 nine from an apple store. I just moved to a new computer and it does not allow me to copy to my new without a product key. I started a conversation and they told me that I was out of money. $700.00 CS3 and LR $199.00. It seems of course after spending a lot of money with Adobe that it would be an easier way to take care of your customer than to spend another $900
Help!
Adobe programs should be installed, they can be copied from one place to the other. If you do not have the serial numbers for these products, then you're probably out of luck to run again on any new installation. If you have the discs, then the serial number is usually on the disc cover.
If you purchase these items in an Apple store, they are not new... they are quite old.
I doubt that they say anything about you being the money you spent, more likely, they say they provide is no longer support for older products and you conclude are you the money you've spent - this isn't something rare to hear - it is unfortunate, but are not uncommon.

I sign creative photography cloud in March 2014, at that time was include 20 GB of free web space, and also the Prosite, now Adobe out of this and told me that I never had this has always been just 2 GB.
This happen with others, they just change and cut without notice?
Please check the storage now & confirm, it should be 20 GB now, let me know in case of any question.

I just installed the latest version of fire fox and tells me when I return to the home page that I am not on the latest version. I save the version in my downloads first, and then I ran it.
If you use the www.google.com/firefox as homepage site that previous versions of Firefox 3 use as homepage you can ignore the message about not using the latest version of Firefox on this page.
Google seems to keep this page.Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox if you still visit this site, and warns you that you are using an older version of Firefox and invites you to update.
You can ignore this message if you are running the latest version of Firefox, as shown in the window "help > About" (Firefox is updated).
You can use a different page than the homepage as subject: House or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle). -
Hi, I know that this will probably the do well not much but anyway,
Basically, my phone broke and I had to send for repairs.
I received it in a week and my Windows is not activated, it says that the code is in use (I also tried to find the code in the registry and it did not help).
I have a code that is not used on the basis of my laptop, but wear and tear of the years and part of it is not visible (miss me the last numbers/letters). Y at - it something I can do.
I tried to contact the shop, I sent it back to and their phone customer service is terrible. I'll go in the store sometime in the next week, I was wondering is there something?
Thank you very much!original title: Activation of Windows XP troubleECS are the manufacturers of your motherbiard - and the fact that the system sees that shows that it is not eligible for the use of a key OEM_SLP - this means that the motherboard has been replaced conditions out of warranty.
That said, if you can read the COA sticker on your machine, you * may * be able to persuade people to MS Activation you have a case.
You use telephone Activation - choose the option at startup - and sweet-talk of the operator leaving your activation.

I brought an iPhone 6s unlocked more on Apple store, Rancho Cucamonga. After THREE weeks, it's just went down! He was off by itself right in front of my eyes, refusing all events to restart. In any case, after 5 hours on the phone with the customer service, they suggested that I sent to them since I live in Riverside and cannot make immediately. They decided to replace it and I thought everything's going well. I was dreaming. They sent a phone with a very small scratch. I figured that's not new. I contacted apple once again, they said frankly that the replacement means that they will give a reconditioned! not a brand new with the original box! They suggested I have contact the store at the Rancho where I bought the original iphone. The Director said that the only thing he can do is to replace it again, but still, it can only replace it with these little boxes of reconditioned iphones and it cannot guarantee that it is brand new. Oh my God, I spent $916 and after a month exactly, I'm done with a reconditioned iphone not a brand new!
I admit, they were all nice and responsive, however, I spent 5-6 hours with each customer phone before and after replacement service, and finally, I have a re-manufactured in a month! I am very disappointed and I don't think I can go forward to get a laptop from Apple, as expected.
One last thing, DO NOT upgrade to IOS 9.2.1! I have, moreover, went I can't save icloud since the version of the iphone replaced is IOS 9.1, and the representative did not completely save me with no updates. So I had to upgrade to this version unreliable (9.2.1) that my interpretation has comments and ppl bad manyyyy many are complaining about.
So now, I have an iphone reconditioned with this update which lets get down after a month with $916!
Thank you Apple!
I don't know where you can go to to complain about Apple's standard policy.
Moreover, there is nothing wrong with 9.2.1.

I started Windows 7 Windows 10 and told me that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine.
* Original title: Windows 10-7
I ran Windows 7 for 2 years without any problem. I have upgraded to Windows 10 but he could not recognize my CD/DVD burner, so I started Windows 7. Now, after about 6 weeks, I am told that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine. Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks to everyone who responded with helpful advice. I finally solved myself by going back to the shop that originally installed Win7 on my computer. They have removed the "non-genuine" copy that I had run without problem for 2 years and installed a copy of 'authentic '.
Thanks again.

I have a laptop Lenovo who was my daughters. I use it very well, but I can't figure out how to get Outlook Express on it as if I had on my old office. So, I was looking for how to do that I have seen that this version of Windows XP Professional SP3 won't be supported by Microsoft and should be updated but I do not understand what it is or what I need to do. It says I need to download the risk mitigation: Why stick with XP is a bad idea, but I'm afraid that download because I don't know what this means. Can someone please help me understand what I need to do so that I can use this computer to keep in touch with my daughter and son through Outlook Express electronic mail?
You don't need to upgrade. XP SP3 will be supported until April 2014. After that, there will be no more patches or updates, but work remains. There are still a lot of Win98 users out there.
