Problems of Microsoft

I received several phone calls from someone saying that they are Microsoft and they receive warnings from my computer. Is it legitimate or is this someone trying to hack into my account? Just after what they call it, I get another call from some 'private' & they just cling on me. Anyone who has this happ

It is a scam of several decades old. Microsoft never does unsolicited phone calls.

Is calling, Microsoft, a scam?

  • problems of Microsoft silverlight

    I'm having a problem watching Netflix.  Netflix asked me to update the silver light.  I clicked the button to update on Netflix, but the update is I already downloaded it last year.

    I also noticed this message in my Safari preferences under security so Internet plug-ins.  That's what he said:

    The version of 'Silverlight' on your computer has critical security problems.

    Only set to 'Always allow' Web sites is allowed to run this plugin.  To protect your system, the use of this plug-in is OE blocked for all other Web sites.

    When visiting other Web sites: ALLOW

    I would uninstall Microsoft Silverlight and get a good market condition one.  How can I do this?

    When I send a large file, it repeats (sends) again and again until I delete it from the Outbox, it is a virus, a problem of microsoft or roadrunner?

    Hi thxfour,

    Got your problem about sending large files by e-mail.
    If I'm just guessing you use a such as MS Outlook or Outlook Express e-mail client!
    If Yes, then,.
    I inform you that the as soon as you click on the button to send your e-mail client. The content of this particular mail sending process begins. The process continues until the last byte of data is transferred. Now, email clients (almost all) are designed to send the contents of a mail only once and not resumeable parts. Now, each time while you send mail with the content inside, it must go in one piece. However, if there is some sort of interruption in the internet connection, the content is not completely transferred. The remains of mail in the Outbox and automatically transfer begins as soon as the internet connection resumes. When the mail is deleted from the Outbox send is stopped because the source is no longer available.

    This thing happens generally when sending large files on a slow speed or internet medium given that the execution time is more emails compared to normal.
    Run time means more chances to get an interruption in internet connectivity.

    * It is advisable to use an application to transfer files to transfer large files over the internet instead of emails. File transfer can transfer large files (in GB), and if there is no interruption in the internet connection, you can resume the download.

  • Problems with Microsoft in Windows 7 updates

    Somewhere in the middle of July 2015, I noticed that I had not updated Microsoft program for several weeks.  I use Windows 7 (which was installed in my computer when I bought it in 2012).    I checked the last update, I had received and it was July 9, 2015.  I checked to make sure that I had selected automatic update function.   I called and spoke to a young woman with Microsoft, and she tried to find the problem.  She worked with my computer for more than two hours and could not find what was wrong.  She wanted to return to a more experienced technician, but I rejected this idea.  I've tried everything I can think and have talked with friends, and no one has had this problem.  My son tried for several hours to fix it and finally said: I might have a virus.  So I went to the Windows Update page, where there is information on the updates where he says: "check updates for your computer: NEVER.  and "last check updates: NEVER.»   I certainly did not insert these Nevers.  I have always used the automatic update choice.  Someone knows a problem like this?

    I look after about 150 computers to Windows 7.  11 of them could not perform updates of Windows to cycle this month of September.

    Windows Update is a constant problem since Microsoft Windows 10 has triggered.  In my opinion, they use the same resources to feed these adverse to a large measure 5 gigabyte W10 files as they do for your updates.  Their priority is W10, and as a result the service is very poor.  In some cases, updates have sat there churning for more than a day before finally closing.

    I'll give you some tips on antivirus software.  I recommend that first of all make sure you have a clean uninfected system with good protection.

    If after following these steps, you still have a problem, come back here and I will offer much more advice.  I learned a lot from these 11 fixing computers.

    First download and run ADWcleaner https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

    This is a great, free, scanner not antivirus software.

    Do not use any product that claims to make your computer run better.  Almost all of them are either false, themselves, an infection, or put your computer at risk. Delete everything that claims to be there to prevent the infections or pretends to make your computer work better, except for the singular than an antivirus product.

    It is a controversial topic, but your choice of AV software may be something you want to take a 2nd look.  I suggest you visit this website to get an idea of what AV software made the best work, depending on what type of user you are: http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a non-profit that has been around for a long time and I hope that their results.

    When you interpret these results, remember the difference between a product that detects 95% and the other 99% of infections, it is actually 5 times more likely to allow an infection.

    I pick up after about 150 Windows PCs and I have more than 13 years.  Until last September, the only AV software that I would allow my clients to use was Norton Antivirus.  Note that this is not the same as any other product, Norton 360 or Internet Security.  My clients rarely know infections.

    Last September, Symantec (Norton owner) decided to no longer sell such a product.  After much research, I decided on Bitdefender Antivirus 2015 +.  I installed it on most of these PCs to date and has never been a problem, and it has been on a course of 12 months now...  It is a better product than Norton.  It is also cheap. One of the things I love the most about it, is the silence and discretion.  Especially if silenced you its function "portfolio".

    My customers know that if they install any product of 'Internet Security', I won't work on their computers until it is deleted.  Very well, I learned the hard way that other components of these products (other than the AV itself) IS causing more problems than any profit that they bring and work mainly by stopping the Windows component that does a very good job of this particular task still.  The problem is that when I started to work on a computer with an IS on it, I could spend hours trying to diagnose the problem, only to find out that by taking the product of the IS, the problems have become much clearer and easier to solve.  I think that the product of the IS actually hides the problem.

    As I said, this is a controversial topic and you will find many different very strong opinions.  I know that mine is based on a fairly large sample over a long period, and are consumers of consumer type Windows.

    Please note.  You should never have more than one protection software installed.  Always make sure that you completely remove the firmware all protection before installing a new one.  That contains software that may have come preinstalled on your computer when it's new

    Totally impossible to delete most of all AV software simply by using the standard uninstallation tool Windows 7.  Most of the majors also publishes a "removal tool" that gets the rest.  If you do not completely remove it, it will cause very hard to understand and diagnose problems.

  • If there is a problem with Microsoft Windows 7, why should I pay Microsoft to fix?

    I called Microsoft about some problems with Windows 7.  They told me my windows is deteriorating and they would charge me $99 to fix.

    Is this true?    If there is a problem with Microsoft Windows 7, why should I pay Microsoft to fix?    My computer is only 3 years old.

  • Problem of Microsoft web site (safety scanner), but works in Safari

    When I go to the site "https://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx" with the version of ESR or TOR Firefox or Firefox 18.0.8 it gos in a loop where I continually see the rotation icon. He never shows anything on the screen and still continues to show the circle of rotation. But on the same workstation, it works with Safari.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).

    The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.

    In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.

    I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD

    Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?

    Hello

    I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
    I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.

    But this would format the system partition :(

    In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
    Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

    Original title: not interested in these community events

    I bought 2013 on the easy payment plan, and it's the only thing that is easy. Heartburn, problems threatening patience continues to accumulate.  I can't believe that when I installed windows 2013, my 2010 trial program has expired and none of the programs will open in the new program.  I used Microsoft 3.0 to 5, 8, professional and xp 2010.  Each unique program would automatically begin your files under the new facility.  With this program, unless I'm missing something won't do anything until you open each file - and you have to go through an extremely stressful process to send the file to the computer, open a program and expecting results.  It just has to be wrong.  When I receive an attachment document written in a Word, I can't open it.  I have to save it and go through get its opening in the downloads. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  Someone at - it a copy of 2010 or 2007?

    In addition, why can't I talk to the geeks at Microsoft and get a response?
