Hello

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:

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

    Apple has taken $16.63 my account for an application called Pirate Kings. The problem is I don't have the game on my phone and I've never played the game at all. I recived an email with the front desk saying that I bought a few different things to the game at 6 in the morning on 07/11/2017 and to whom I was sound asleep.

  • has anyone successfully recovered a pirate apple id

    My ID apple was hacked from China last week. It happened in the middle of the night, so by the time I discovered that they had changed my password, date of birth, email recovery security questions and purchased a few apps: sina IM subscriptions, or something.

    I called the apple support as soon as I found out, but it was too late. All they could do was ask me a question of safety, I had never put in place. They said that they would have to go to the technical team and they would get back to me even though they knew more.

    It was a week ago, and I heard nothing. I called a couple times more support, but all they can do is go on the same process until you get to the part of security question and then... crickets.

    So this happened to someone else, you got your account successfully return, how long did take, and how do you know it was fixed? Should I just cut my losses and start over with a new apple ID?

    Thank you

    (The display of the account of my wife because actually posting here without your ID :-() impossible)

    Hello

    I was hacked from China last night. Even though I have reset my password, I can't change the Questions of security (which are in Chinese) or any other crucial information such as date of birth and other means of authentication...

    Trying to access the Apple support via the web, which brings me to the Chinese site... And there is a significant lack of language support on Apple's Chinese site.

    In addition, this problem of access to assistance from Apple is far too often:

    Service temporarily unavailable

    I got 4 emails from Apple support (in Chinese). Cat contact support out there to talk about these cases that opened when my ID got stolen. They responded quickly, but simply directed me to call (1-800-263-3394) account security team.

    I guess if I knew how to hack my way back as the pirates did with my account, I have managed to do so via a few simple apple support tickets. It seemed to work for them...

    Finally, all the purchase were made as purchase app for this shit:

    https://iTunes.Apple.com/ca/app/yy-Quan-min-Zhi-Bo-Shi-pin/id427941017?Mt=8

    $ 25,28

    $ 6.99

    $ 3.99

    $ 1.39

    $ 1.39

    $ 1.39

    $ 1.39

    Total: $ 41.82

    It is very close to the balance that I had left in my Itune Store generic. (Fortunately, no PayPal or Visa are related to my ID)

    This! @# application developer seems not legitimate at all...

    in any case, I'll post back when / if things are put in order or not.

    you're going to want to spend time with security support now... Oh joy!

    Edit: Surprise! Apple support have to sleep! Im going to have to wait until 07:00.

  • Need assistance with pirate iPad Air?

    Recently, I came to the conclusion that my iPad has been hacked. Strange things have occurred such as playing music or stopping on its own randomly. I've heard for this problem, you must plug it into a computer, start iTunes and completely destroy the device. But after I do that, my entire data (toolbars, apps, emails, music, notes, contacts) will be deleted? So, my questions are:

    • My iPad is hacked?
    • What can I do?
    • Destroy the iPad will erase all my data?

    If you have any suggestions or advice, I would really appreciate it.

    Sorry, but we cannot help you with any pirate Apple product. You can take it to your local Apple store to see if they will help out you.

  • One of the problems with the pirates on iPad here?

    I'm having a problem with what is called brandonvon.com on my iPad. She raised my google search engine hostage and locked me up. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it.

    They are not pirates, it is more likely adware.

    Go to settings - Safari - clear the history and data from the Web site.

    If that doesn't work, reset your device. This will not erase your data stored on the phone.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

  • 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

    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.

    Hello

    Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

    Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

    You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

    The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

    Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

    There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:

  • 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...?  ;-)

  • Garage sale pirated Windows on the laptop brand

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop (Compaq 510) Logtech Infoway. Kerala.
    They have installed a pirated version of Windows XP on my laptop. When I contacted them, they are insisting that it is the right of the consumer at the request of a genuine version of windows.
    5 years when I bought a PC brand at another retailer, they have installed genuine version of windows on my PC.
    My question does not appear here for the rules for these brands as Compaq, they can be sold with pirated versions? If I'm going legal against the dealers, I as a consumer will be held guilty for not asking only a version not genuine windows?

    Too

    The manufacturer like Compaq and others are having agreement with Microsoft they buy license at home, and when you buy a PC from them you may chose your version of Windows and it will come pre-installation. If you're shopping online or certified partner of Compaq or to the sales office, the Windows is genuine.

    However, in many countries local dealer will just get a free system without windows or sometimes with MS-DOS and install to pirate one. It depends on law in the country, in some countries, the action would not take any dealer and people who sell pirated software in other countries, he's going for people who sell pirated software and the people who buy pirated software.

    In case you, I suggest to declare these dealers, you can use the Web site suite:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/piracy/reporting/default.aspx

    To report them.
