• I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows saying that my computer has been infected.

  only, I was contacted by a person claiming to be windows saying that my computer has been infected and he called for help.  He hit me the windows and "R" key at the same time.  Then I typed in "eventvwr" and who showed me a list of some events with indicator red and yellow.  Then he wanted me to go back and enter "iexplore www.support.me", so he could fix my computer.  I became very suspicios and did not continue with his appeal.  Is it a hoax or someone really trying to help me?  Because I did not communicate with him, I feel that this is not a legitimate operation.  Thanks for your help.

  original title: telephone call from Windows?

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  That's what you do if you never give them remote access.

  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.

• FireFox directedme buy "Win 7 anti-virus 2011" because it has been infected; did, I became a victim of a scam?

  I use Windows and Firefox 4
  A series of warning flashed ("effigy a shield with 4 - color") said Firefox has been diverted and infected by the virus and has 14 (?) Trojan and can not be erased until I register ($59 paid) to activate «Win 7 anti-virus 2011» Repeat to try to close and re-boot did not problem disappear.

• Popup - telling me to call 888-979-2448 to see if my PC has been infected - SCAM?

  When I called this number, the person told me it was Microsoft Support and suggested that he needed to take control of my PC to tell me if it was really infected. This looks like a major scam to me. Please can someone confirm that 888-979-2448 is a legitimate Windows support number? Thanks - screenshot attached

  

  All of these types of pop-ups are false warnings - scams. Never call these numbers.

  Since you already called, I hope that allows you access to your computer and just hung on these crooks.

  Please read: PSA: Tech Support scams pop ups on the rise

  Use the Task Manager to close your browser:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/end-process#1TC=Windows-7

  Delete the temporary internet files and restart. After the reboot, the pop-up should be gone.

  Otherwise, follow the steps here: Remove Tech Support pop up scam (call for support scam)

• Hi, I wanted to ask if someone can access an iPad that has been lost mode?

  I lost my iPad 16 GB Mini nearly 2 months ago. I know what it like 6 hours later, so I put it directly in lost mode. I have no notification on this matter, but I keep waiting. until today, I get a notification that my iPad has been found. but the problem is the person who found that he did not want to communicate with me, so I don't know where it is exactly. It is shown that my iPad is online since this morning, but I was wondering if they can get access to my iPad lost or not? access something like opening photos, or other applications on my iPad.

  Do you have a code to lock screen set up on this subject?  If so, then they would be locked out of it. Otherwise, everyone with her can slide to unlock and browse something there.

• XP, ask permission to access vista machine, but pooling has been implemented. What now?

  I'm trying to share files between XP Pro and Vista the last two updates.  I followed the instructions to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Networking-home-computers-running-different-versions-of-Windows where they share the same workgroup, turned on file sharing, etc.

  XP sees the Vista machine, but when I click it I get a message that it is not accessible, and I could not have permission.  These are two machines home with no separate connections.  I have admin privs on both.
  I tried clicking on share and add that drive C on Vista, but the button share under network and sharing folders is grey.  I went into the button advanced and added everyone out there.  Still no joy.  I also added everyone for the Documents folder too just to see if that would help, but no.
  So I'm stuck - any ideas on what to do now?
  Thank you.

  I have it!

  What the video above did not include, it was that although the permissions have been set for everyone, you must also go to the Security tab, click on edit and add everyone in the box.   I hope that if anyone else has this problem that will also help.

• Technical support phone scam?

  Hi all. Earlier today, I phoned by someone claiming to be from Microsoft technical care; He said that my computer has been infected with a new virus (Trojan something?) and generated a lot of error messages. He asked me to download a software to help solve this (www.teamviewer.com); When I asked him to send the confirmation email that he was from Microsoft, it is very aggressive, said my license may be cancelled and finally told me to ' go to *'. Is it possible that this could be a real MS technical support call: the way of the appellant does not, but he asked me to watch some log files that to my uneducated eyes, seemed to have a lot of error messages, but I help but feel it is a scam.

  Hello

• Received the phone call from scam of asking to connect to the computer

  A man with a voice of Indian call center called and asked my friend to connect to his computer because they knew that she had had problems with the help and he called for a "windows service center.  She asked for a number to call back and he hung up.  There is a phishing scam rightnow?

  It is a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

  Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).

  It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

  Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

  Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site!

• 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
