Pirates of Microsoft

• scam or really attacked by pirates? not a phone call, the new tab opened by saying that I have to call

  a 888 number and do nothing to the computer until I've had technical assistance.  I called them and a (non-native) Indian answered the phone and told me my computer was attacked by pirates and they stole my financial information.

  the tale is that he said that Microsoft programs have a trigger when someone is hacking the computer it will send a warning to consumers and their technical support and that the only way to stop piracy was to have the computer registered with Microsoft and have the wall of fire from Microsoft and it comes free.  I asked Norton and *?  He said Norton was just for the virus and RCP is a scam.  He said that he could not stop hackers and intended to correct the problem, to speak with legal to check what would be the cost!

  $199.99 to install the fire wall to the service of life.

  I feel like I've been diverted, victim of a scam and pirate!  Microsoft please indicate whether this is legitimate?

  Yes, you have been scammed.

  Contact your banking company or credit card immediately to reverse the charges. Also file a report with your local Police Department.

  "About MSDN or TechNet product key
  They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else. Unfortunately, no matter the conditions of license, people still abuse of the program, two key product gift or sell on auction sites. Microsoft it issues licences in good faith that customer will not do it, but I guess human nature win on.

  In your case, what has probably happened is, you bought a license MSDN key, which carries up to 10 activations unlike packed full of retail licenses which carry 1 activation. The person who sold it to you probably sold to 10 other people. Somewhere along the way, one of these people could have installed on a second system activated, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft has detected that he was abused and blocked the key for later use. »

• I received the call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft that I had a virus pirate online.

  I was suspicious and told them I couldn't go online at this time.  HOWEVER, I asked if I could call them to the time when I was available and he gave me the 213-221-3528 next number to call back, said his name was Mike.

  I hope this can help you track down these people.  Thank you.

  I think what zigzag3143x is trying to say is that there are a lot of scamming operations all over the world to do this kind of thing - they close down and then spring up somewhere else. Therefore, it is difficult to track them down.

• Ergonomic Office Microsoft Sculpt - pirate my laptop

  Hello

  It is news to me.

  I had the ergonomic office sculpt with digital/keyboard/mouse pad.  I like it a lot, except...

  He has turned away from my laptop.  I can no longer use the laptop or integrated mouse keyboard.

  If I unplug the dongle wireless, this threshold does not work.

  If I stop and unplug the dongle wireless, it still does not work.

  I went into Control Panel and check the native keyboard and mouse drivers appear as fine work.

  The only thing I can think to do is to completely uninstall the drivers for the sculpture.

  The idea is, I want to use the sculpture at home, but be able to take the laptop its own when I'm out and about.  Now I'll have to take the whole plant (very delicate in a Starbucks).

  Thoughts?

  Hi David,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, I understand that you have a problem using Microsoft ergonomic office to sculpt.

  This issue would have occurred due to some corrupt drivers.

  I need some information.

  1. What is the brand and model of your keyboard and mouse?
  2. Did you of recent changes made to your computer before this problem?

  Try the methods.

  Method 2:

   I suggest you to temporarily disable the Antivirus security software installed on your computer.

• Cannot ping local interface after last criticism of microsoft update

  I just bought a Satellite Pro A200.
  When I upgraded to the latest critical updates from Microsoft Update, I found that I could ping is no longer my local IP address. This has happened to the card NETWORK LAN RJ45 and the wireless network card.
  I reinstalled the operating system using the recovery CD, and I could ping to the IP address of the local interfaces.
  But when I again once downloaded and installed the latest critical updates from Microsoft, I can't ping the local IP address.
  Anyone has any idea why?
  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  WHERE´s the problem? I know that the updates are the system destroy it when they are buggy, but that's normal with microsoft. I have almost the same problems also! Thhoughts WGAnotify.exe, I was a software pirate and restricted my access to 'zero' access.
  "Yes, Sir, I bought a windows and it s stolen... well... OK... :(."
  Yes, noone except microsoft (who would be the point where I could say "you are in the wrong forum" ;)) knows why it s happening.)
  These days, you should do the following: find update is the cause of this error. You can do this by going in "Add / Remove Programs" in your "Control Panel" and click on the top of the window the button "see the updates.
  Then begin to uninstall the last installed update and check if your ping works. Otherwise, proceed to the next update and uninstall it and so on...
  I know it's a long and boring process, but since there is NO problem of toshiba, you must accept it and try my method to remove the update that is causing your error.

• Profile pictures can be deleted hosts/Microsoft/Skype servers?

  Why users cannot delete their profile picture? An image can be added or changed, but that's all. My question is... what happens to the original image, after that it has been replaced by a new image? Skype reserves the right to the image I download and save on their servers? I bet a long reading of their terms of use would provide me with an answer.

  But for now, let's say that I take a picture of myself for my profile, then I decide I don't want the image available for anyone to see. By "anyone", I mean the Skype contacts and public Skype users, as long as Skype employees, would-be hackers or authorized agents of the Government. Keep in mind this image was designated initially as visible to 'contacts' and not made 'public', so I didn't put the image into the public domain where I don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Skype should reserve its users the option to remove this image from their account and their servers.

  Or, if the addition of a new profile instead of the old photo effectively erases the old photo, then please ignore my entire argument here.

  However, my hunch is that the old photo is chosen since no where does Skype talks to remove profile photos in their FAQ on photos of profile and privacy. Since Skype does not pronounce on this subject, I must assume that they retain the original image indeed.

  My main concern here, it's not an agent pirate or the Government can get their hands on my profile picture, as I am not a criminal or wanted terrorist lunatic on the run from the Government, rather, it's more a question of morality. Too many software companies are obnoxiously lies when it comes to their software, capabilities, and what this company doing with personal and private information. Skype and Microsoft are not different.

  

  All we have is your Word. I hope it's true.

  Specifically, why not just include a feature of 'delete profile image '. This seems to make a lot more sense to me and others out there who have a problem with the absence of such a feature. Looks like it should be a simple enough feature to understand.

• F6E05EA touchsmart: Reinstall windows on a pirate HP

  My HP F6E05EA has been hacked and I am not able to connect more in windows 10.

  I managed to take the hard drive, put it in an enclosure and copy all the files on a laptop, so I haven't lost anything, but I would like to re - install windows 10. In fact the PC comes with windows 8.1 that later, I've updated to windows 10. My question is:

  (1) there is no sticker on the back of the machine showing the product key. Once I connected the HD with the USB box I can see the files and the windows directory of the pirate disk, I tried to use the software key finder to find the key of windows hard disk deleted but it still shows the key for drive C, no matter if I browse the external location F:\windows\system32\config

  (2) if I format the drive and I have download windows 10 on the microsoft site and burn it to a DVD, how can I do turn it as I don't have the key?

  (3) HP allow the key or can I speak?

  Thank you

  Tom

  Hello

  Looking at your screenshots, it looks like to the f10 installation menu, not the start menu f9 - with the inserted bootable media, restart the PC, access to f9 boot menu and check if the disk or flash drive is now listed as a boot option.

  Hi, Manpreet_Singh11,

  Software piracy is the mislicensing, unauthorized reproduction and illegal distribution of software, whether for business or personal use.

  Pirated software makes wrong everyone

  developers of software for retail store owners and, finally, to all the users of software. In addition, the illegal duplication and distribution of software has a significant impact on the economy.

• I received a warning by e-mail on a computer, is - pirate it true?

  I received a warning from files on a pirate who uses * address email is removed from the privacy *.  Apprently if I open an e to my pc will be wiped and e will use the information in my email accounts to send an e-mail to everyone I know.  Is this true?

  It doesn't matter if this last 'hacker' is real or not.  The rules are the same.

  Most probably the email you got and open already, unless you have registered something where Microsoft and Norton work together to send the unsolicited on hackers, e-mail is an attempt to spam/phishing and/or establishing a larger strike redirect (look at what the right hand is doing... Look at the right hand, look at the right hand... GOTCHA with the left.)

  Are you part of something that would have received you such an email that which you described, or you disreguarded regulates #1 already...?  ;-)

• Microsoft calls the people to report hackers access your computer

  I received a call from someone who claims to be from Microsoft saying that he had tried to reach me with messages pop up for 5 weeks to report that my computer has beed pirate.  They asked me to type int CMD in the start menu and then read a line of the type that started with "send to the target."  I was suspicious, but allowed them to transfer me to a technician who wanted to help me get rid of the intruder.  I asked for a number where I could call back them, and he argued that "hacker could be tuned" says so they would call me in return a number, I could see.  Pending their appeal, I did a quick search to see if anyone from MIcrosoft never call customers about the problems of this kind.  All the results, said that MS never calls visitors unless a ticket has been opened.  When they recalled that I asked wherever they called and they said in Brampton, but the number she gave me was not an exchange of Brampton.  Every question I asked foreign led and answers by a stranger, I told them white point that I felt it was a scam.  At this point, my technician has hung up.

  Is Microsoft never contact with customers all the so-called "pirates"?

  Nope. It's a scam. Microsoft will not call you unless you initiate the call or support ticket.
