Pop - up says I have to but professional version 8 for open internet files
When I try to open a PDF on the internet, I get a popup that says I have to buy the professional version 8 to play the file. Then it hangs and blocks the document. I've got reader 8.1.2. Help!
It seems that your computer thinks you have Acrobat Professional. Maybe you have both installed on your system. Check in the area of control panels where you can add/remove applications. If you have both, you need to uninstall Acrobat and then re - install the drive, since Acrobat deletion will break player because they share files.

- This man said that it comes from windows and I have a virus and you have to pay to remove! I know it's a lie and paid no attention, but I expect some vulnerable people might do! How can I report to microsoft? Has anyone actually paid these merchant scam?
Thank you for getting back on this type of scam.
Yes, some vulnerable people indeed caught up.Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer
In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.
Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. It is better to avoid being scammed rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.
Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.
If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.
If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it.

Microsoft scam? Had 2 calls from a person claiming to be MS and saying: I have a virus
original title: 'MICROSOFT' SCAM?
Hello, I got 2 phone calls this week to an Indian sounding man claining it is from Microsoft and that my computer is attacked by a massive virus. It then asks me to check start / my app work/manage/computer/management and says you can see the warnings that we sent you. There are warnings, so the first time, he did, I thought but has no confidence in him, even if I did say that he had arrived since I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials, which he found very interesting. Then, I finished the call and removed MSE and reinstalled AVG free. I scanned the PC (with MSE previously) and AVG and no threat or anything found. He or someone similar - rang again this morning with the same terrible warnings, but my wife ended the call quickly. Are you aware of this presumable scam? Or was it authentic? Please notify.
