• Real pop-up microsoft or scam?

  Hi, I have a laptop running Vista.  For the last 2 months I get a pop up Windows Version install 2011-2014 (c) all rights reserved.  This appears on every 1/2 hour when I'm on the laptop.  Just wondering if it is really a windows alert (Microsoft) or just a scam.  The pop-up window is just a clear blue square with the information above in the same colors.  I got a scam of a society that represents itself as Norton, I discovered that it was a company not associated with Norton and want $299.99 per year for tracking my computer against viruses and malware.  Since Vista is an older program I want to make sure that it is ligit.  As I have not received e-mail or everything I know comes from Microsoft, I want to be safe rather than sorry.  I keep the notice of closure and always asks if I want to leave this page.  Someone at - it?

  Thank you very much

  Does not legitimate for me.  This isn't just to show a version number, but none actually of installation or progression?  I guess the only option there is the button "OK"?

  Can you post a screenshot of what you see?  Here is How to include a screenshot.

• As he attempted a fix I noticed there are 2 files corrupted in the Firefox profile. What should I do?

  Try to get the closure of several WARNING tabs I have followed the instructions and open the profile folder. I made the changes, but it did not help. Then I noticed that the other 2 files are corrupt.

  Bookmarks and history work in Firefox 3.6.x version?

  If this is the case, then you can delete these two files.

  This may be due to a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

• Satellite A100: Dead battery + Random closures

  Hello everyone

  I'm having some trouble with my Satellite A100 after taking in a service center and I hope you can help.

  One of the brackets holding the button broke on my laptop so I took it to a service center to replace. Once I come back the laptop I noticed that the battery was completely dead and that my laptop stops after about 20 minutes of playing any kind of video game. I thought that the judgments must be an overheating problem, so I cleaned the fan with compressed gas however it made no difference. What is strange about closures, it is that the fan does not work at high speed until the computer shuts down, and according to a temperature probe, I downloaded that the internal temperature is not greater than 55 degrees. I tried my friend's battery in my Toshiba and it worked, so I know that it's just a dead battery and not a motherboard problem, but I mention that the two problems occurred at the same time and in some sort could be related. I have no idea what is the problem and I can't take to service center because I am currently a student in Finland and cannot afford to be without my laptop for a week.

  Thank you for your help.

  Update: I just upgraded my BIOS from 2.0 to 5.1 and had a mistake on the first boot: 0251: checksum CMOS bad system - default configuration used
  I hit F2 paged through the BIOS settings, then straightened and everything was fine. Should I worry about the error? Or is it normal for the first start after an upgrade?

  Hello

  1.) judgment of problems:
  I'm a bit confused of m.
  Was the laptop connected to the power adapter when the bottom is closed?
  You said you used another battery for laptop you and it worked. So in my opinion, there is a problem with your battery
  Try to replace and check if it works

  (2.) the system CMOS checksum bad:
  It s nothing unusual. The same thing happened to me after that the BIOS updated. I simply set the BIOS settings by default and everything was fine
  Don t worry

• IdeaPad Y460 suddenly stop without notice

  September 2010, I bought my laptop. In the last three days, my laptop closed by itself without any notice.

  The sudden cut of all was when I'm webcaming with a contact by using Windows Live Messenger. The second and third stop sudden is when I play video games (NFS Shift 2, Rainbow Six Vegas 2).

  I checked Windows 7 event viewer and I got this: event 41, Kernel-Power "the system has rebooted without stop properly first. This error can be caused if the system unresponsive, crashed or unexpected power loss. ».

  What is the cause of this and what can I do to solve this problem? I never have this problem before and I can play games or webcam with no sudden closing down.

  I found the problem. It's my Avast antivirus. I remember the first day, this problem occurred when I switched my antivirus Avast, my laptop suddenly closed during a video call session. I figured it was Avast so I removed it.

  Now I'm using another antivirus (one already installed before Avast). Tested video calling, making long gaming session, there is no sudden down closure even if my temperature reaches 95 degrees Celsius. It's certainly nothing to do with the material of my laptop. Thanks for the help anyway

• "Read" notice on the application of instant messaging, a question?

  IM Apple allows you to send a notice as a snapshot message was 'delivered '. I understand what it means. Recently, the opinion has changed to 'read '. I do not understand how the IM application knows whether or not the message has been read. I usually leave my IM window open when I use this app. It is therefore impossible to know whether or not I've read a message. I guess that more than others to do this. So that the 'read' notice means?

  Messages has an option in the preferences/Messages/accounts, which allows the recipient to send read receipts.

  I received an email "We notice that you do not use your iTunes account because a long time so we're abligate to close your account in accordance with our policy, including your email i-cloud also."  Is it a scam?  I buy via iTunes almost every month.  By clicking on the link to keep the account open and they want information of credit card and I'm not comfortable with that.  I'm worried because I need my icloud and my email.

  It is not Apple, it has a phishing e-mail attempts to get your account details and payment - you can transfer to Apple: and then delete it [email protected] .

• ThBird: after running for some time on Mac, I noticed the loss of contact, the highest use of resources...

  Hi, first post so excuse despises.
  On Mac OS X 10.6.8.
  When I start TB he moved to processor low use (0, 0-0, 1%) after the initial activity. There are some file access.
  After some use (cannot be precise if it could be as little as first check for mail, certainly with 20 minutes) the process uses 5.5% or more at any time when TB is 'inactive' as far as I'm concerned. There is a flow of constant IO even though many are stat or similar rather than full read/write.

  Also, several times I found the most much of my contacts are not available (even my own account acting) Although some are.
  It disappears if I restart TB.
  Haven't checked but suspect that these may be contacts in my contacts OSX/phone etc. Did not time check which is common to accounts that remain - suspect they would be accumulated addresses in TB files.

  Also, I was amazed how many fonts are opened by the CT (guessing almost everyone, I opened, several 100) which seems a strange thing to do if it is not really needed. I wonder if a file handle limit results in the problem of contacts.

  I hope that this gives to encourage thoughts. I can do some searching, but the clock is ticking right now.

  (I lost the weeks pass to TB from Outlook when Virgin UK moved to gmail hosted in their own platform.) A lot of data migrated but TB helps rebuild a functional archiving messaging system.)

  Just checked more closely and he are a 850 font files open and 100 or so files. It's probably a little crazy in terms of resources.

  It's weird. But he has been so on Mac for many years. Maybe even in version 2. I have not yet tracked when put obtained behavior implemented.

  The behavior is noticed in Firefox bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701661 and bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=800279 Thunderbird

• noticed the same problem, my friend had 2 months in hardware of the iphone 6!

  Hello

  I use the iphone 6, which is out of the now (india) warranty period. I noticed a problem on the screen detaches from the main frame around one of the edges. It's the same problem happened to one of my friends who ultimately involving more areas progresed and encrypted him a good amount of money to repair! I searched online on the issue and learned that this has happened to many! I'm pretty sure that's not due to mishandling (which can easily be checked during the inspection) atleast in my case!

  I called apple in India care a couple of hours. Care agent told me that they can't do anything on this issue since his release from the warranty period (even if it's a manufacturing defect). I have a strong feeling that my question has not been properly processed there. Is not a manufacturer, selling a defective product ensuring there will be no problem in the first 6 months and declaring that they are not rsponsible for what past of the next day. It should not be considered on the side of manufacturers, it should rather be on the side of the average consumer, who spent a good amount of money to purchase!

  Kindly understand that I don't have time to run in the stores of stores and calls calls! I need a solution to the authorities of apple before moving on to the Court in India on behalf of fellow sufferers!

  Thank you

• Why do I get notice to update iTunes to version I already installed

  After downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes, I keep getting notices to install the same update?

  No doubt, something is stuck in the update mechanism. You could try the complete disassembly in the second box of troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. Run the installer as administrator could help.
