phone scam: Please help. is my information at risk?
Like many others who have posted on this site, I received a phone call from a company posing as microsoft windows and you want to help 'fix' my computer.
I opened the window in the event viewer when asked. Do I have reason to say that the opening of this window is harmless?
Then I went on the site logmein123.com through the window "run". The computer then requested a code 6 digit. The guy on the phone gave me a code I typed in the window, but I stopped before pressing "connect to technician. Is my computer at risk? What should I do?
In addition, the person on the phone wanted to know how many computers in the House. Perhaps these computers be affected even if they have been turned off at the time of the phone call?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi lolip,
Please take a look at this http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/supportonclick-systemrecure-scam
Until you have not pushed the 'connect to technician -' button, you are on the save side.
I generally recommend to hang up the phone if you receive calls like these.
Another vendor who is currently working with the unwanted Service-phone calls is iGlobal Solutions http://www.iglobalsolutionsllc.com/
Kind regards
Jan

You can try to use the effect of scrolling Panel by setting the element you want to move during scrolling at all zeros.
If you use this static menu on the master page, and then create a top layer and put these static elements on this layer, so the rest of the Captain and normal pages will have their content well sliding under the menu.

Having trouble getting what seems to be standing out of my phone pictures, please help!
I'm trying to get the pics off my phone - but they can't be deleted manually as no garbage cannot rises for them as an option in the film. So how I used iTunes to get pictures off my phone, such as iTunes only gives me the ability to synchronize photos from my computer TO my phone - and not the other way around. So I can't seem to remove
The synchronization process allows you to remove them. Use the section delete Photos synchronized. Sync photos from your computer to your device via iTunes - Apple Support iOS

BlackBerry smartphone email Message on my new phone BlackBerry, Please Help.
Yesterday, I bought a new Blackberry Bold 9930 of Verizon Wireless. The seller put in place my personal e-mail account and everything seems to work very well. But I got two e-mail messages which I can't understand. They read: "this message is used to carry data between your BlackBerry handheld and a home server. Please do not delete, move, or reply to this message - it will be processed by the server. He was sent to [email protected] etc...
I received a subsequent message that reads "inscription: handheld has been registered by the wireless network.
Can it be it someone please tell me how long I have to keep this message in my mailbox the Pocket before it can be deleted, despite what he says? In addition, no one knows if the second message on 'Registration' means I can delete these messages? I thank very you much for all the advice.

Phone scam Australia - information and report
My husband received a phone call earlier today, a woman with a strong Indian accent, saying she was from the Windows Support on behalf of Microsoft. She said our computer had sent several error messages to Windows and the computer would crash in 24 hours. He doesn't know even how to activate it, so he asked her to call back after work, when I'm home. She recalled, and I said that I was eating so she could call back in an hour, because it sounded suspicious and I wanted to check online and see if I could find out whether it could be legitimate or not. I saw the warning on the site of Microsoft Australia and also google and read a lot of posts about people getting ripped off and I have taken note of what they would ask. Nancy recalled, and said she would put me through to a technician who could help me solve my 'problem '. A man named Patrick, very strong Indian accent, asked me to do a number of things to get to the place where I could look and say that I could see triangles of gold and files with red crosses next to them and I said yes, even though I had yet to open anything. He said there would be a single registration fee and then it could set. I call it a lie you know what and a few other choice things and hung up, but I managed to get the company name and website address, if they are real, and they are as follows:
Global technical support

My Instagram app will not open it keeps saying: "pending". I have tried to delete the app, off my phone and still nothing! Please help thanks
You said that you tried to delete the app
If you have not been able to
Settings - general - storage - Storage - find the app - delete
Do a forced reboot - after all open applications using the app Chooser - invoked by fast double pressing the home button and drag upwards on each app until it disappears from the screen.
Meet the sleep/wake and home buttons down until you see the logo - then release and allow normal start upward
Then re download the app
