• Phone calls about the virus on the computer.

  We continue receiving phone calls of MDI Tech and creative solutions, telling us that they're Microsoft and we need to buy their product to get rid of a serious computer virus.  Are they really related to Microsoft?

  They are * not * associated with Microsoft.

  This is a scam and that is becoming more and more common lately. But even worse, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what confidential information they stole.

  So, if you did. I highly recommend that you do both of the following immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

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

  Optional question: I want to also know it is my laptop powerful or just a toy and what material do I upgarde to get best performance...

  HP1000-1b10au

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about the choice of a Windows operating system for your laptop and wanted to help.

  For the "best performance", you clearly have the right drivers - and the latest OS for which HP provides drivers for your laptop is Windows 8.  These same drivers would work in Win8.1.

  If you choose Win10 instead, there is no HP drivers and you'd be stuck using the drivers provided by MS and provide only the most basic features.

  Once you install Win8.1, then download and install this utility to prevent it to be updated to Win10: RCMP | Never10
  
  Good luck

• I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows and I have stupisly access to my computer, but does not give them the credit card details. This could be a problem

  I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows and I have stupisly access to my computer, but does not give them the credit card details.  This could be a problem

  Hello Ann,.

  If you allowed them access to your PC, then it is a problem. I considered reinstalling my OS and change all my passwords. It would also make sense, if you use the online banking etc., to inform your bank that you have a security hole on your PC. This will alert them to anyone using your current password to the Bank etc.

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

• Phone call claiming to be from the Windows team

  I just received a phone call claiming to be from the Windows team in Ontario (Canada) saying that my computer was downloading tons of things on the web, and it had infected and it was my computer.  I'm guessing it's a scam?

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• Today I received a phone call from 'Human IT Solutions'. The operator said that I had reported an error and asked me to log in

  Original title: ERROR REPORT FIX - HUMAN IT SOLUTIONS.

  Today I received a phone call from 'Human IT Solutions'.  The operator said that I had reported an error and asked me to log in and follow his instructions, as it was a very simple matter to deal with.  I typed in the flag of MS, "rt" track: this opened the window "run" in which I typed in 'eventvwr' followed by 'OK '.  This opened "Event Viewer".  At this point I told him I was not willing to go far and he didn't send me the "fix."  He said that his company had no authorization to send emails and our conversation ended.  I tried to inform Microsoft, but of course all their facilities help for XP are now US only and I couldn't find any way to inform them (I think they should know, and anyway, if it is a genuine appeal, it might be good to have).  Anyone got any ideas on the question of whether I have done the right thing or how to say MS?

  ADF, I received today a similar appeal.  When I questioned his information on the company, he was very defensive and said "I have no cold calling, I'm in East London" I asked him to give me the name of the software MS causing errors, during which he compiled a long list of file extensions and avoided the question.  When I asked her name and phone number so I can get my husband to call him back, he began to read a number on phone, but the figures '0-1', the line was cut off.

  I'm sure you made the right choice in putting an end to the conversation of what I lived today.  I have no idea how you would report to Microsoft, but wanted a response to you here to support your actions!

• I get a foreign call telling me that I need to go to my computer because I have a problem with my windows operating system. I don't have confidence call ths.

  I get a foreign call telling me that I need to go to my computer because I have a problem with my windows operating system. They want me to go to eventvwr. I told them no and I do not trust to this call.

  Now, I'm worried, why they call me.  They call 4 = 5 times a day.

  Help! I'm not good with IT

  It is a scam.  Tell them that put you your list of calls only.  If you have a way to block their number, too.  If they don't stop, report them to the Better Business Bureau.

  Good luck.

• Question about the Windows operating system upgrade

  If I were to upgrade to Windows Vista, when it is released in the future the warranty on my laptop is cancelled? And Toshiba install it for me at a lower price? (I know stupid Question but I was wondering)

  Hello

  First of all at the moment the Windows vista is not official on the market. AFAIK this lead on Windows Vista operating system will come at the end of the year or next year. Second, this unit was delivered with another Windows operating system. The Toshiba service partner can install your device only with the delivered operating system.

• I want to install windows os(not genuine) in the mac, I use mac air beginning 15, 4 GB of ram, 128ssd.     I want to play counter strike (overall offensive) in the windows operating system.     is 4 GB of ram enough or it takes 8 GB of ram.

  in fact, I want to install windows os (not authentic) because I'm fond of counter strike

  so, mac support this game?

  or it takes 8 GB ram to play counter strike?

  operating system windows (not authentic) will cause no effect on mac?

  If I install the windows on mac operating system, I will award 58 GB in the windows operating system and remains to mac, goes no problem in the future, due to the windows operating system?

  ALSO POINT OUT THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING WINDOWS ON A MAC.

  operating system Windows (not authentic)

  This means that you ask for assistance on the use of a pirate copy of Windows?

  If you install Windows, you have the advantage of being able to run Windows and the inconvenience of having to deal with all the viruses and stuff for which Windows systems are prone.

  Why not just buy the Mac version? It seems relatively inexpensive: http://store.steampowered.com/app/730/

• Archiving of Information on the older windows operating systems

  Hello reader,.

  I wonder where I could find old information about windows operating systems, in the context of the source code for the windows XP operating system.

  Also, what is the current status on a user changes an XP operating system.

  As the XP operating system is no longer supported, it would be useful if a user can strip the unnecessary programs for example system essential safety who keeps popping up saying that it is out of date and require an update that we know will never happen.

  Obviously we need to take alternative internet security precautions.

  Security Essentials is no not part of Windows XP, so you can absolutely delete it.  Just go to control panel and choose "Add/Remove Programs", then delete the program from the list.

  You can not access the source code for Windows XP.  It is no longer supported, but it will retain the copyright and protection of the DMCA for decades to come.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
