Questionable e-mail from the Microsoft LIVE team
I received an email from microsoft live team (* address email is removed from the privacy *) asking me to verify my account information within 2 weeks or my account would be closed. He asks name, first name, login, password, date of birth and country. The wording of the paragraph did not appear ligitimate. Proper grammar has not been used in the paragraph that made me believe that he may have been wrong. Could check you. Thanks to * address email is removed from the privacy *
SCAM!
Don't answer.

I received a call from the microsoft agent to 'fix' my error messages.
Just got a call from a third party claiming that my computer sends so many error messages to microsoft it may crash. I'm asked to login so that they can point out to me. They refuse to give a number to call back. Said they are hired by microsoft to do this work. Sounds like this is a scam. Anyone can confirm Yes or not?

Why I have problems with my email migration to Windows Mail? I get an error message stating my "mail from the host cannot be found. This has happened on and off for the last 2 weeks.

How to move all e-mails from the imap server to local folders automatically for each mail?
Hello
I want to transfer all my e-mails in local folders as soon as they arrive in Thunderbird and remove them from the server. I can do this manually by moving the mails to hand, but I want to do it automatically by Thunderbird.
After a few hours, I found there is an option on the removal of e-mails from the mail server, if I use POP3, but it is not an option for IMAP.
Important note: my mail can not be resolved like POP3, so please don't segguest implementation using POP3.
Thanks in advance.

It's a scam. Never provide any access to your PC to someone who calls you with some story about virus infections (etc.) is detected on your PC. MS would never do that (plenty of examples in the MSE forum if you care to look).
More tips - social engineering is a term for the bad guys who try to convince you to do something that would allow them to infect your computer or gather confidential information (Bank online identifiers for example...)You (and everyone!) need to be careful to not be fooled (and some of these guys are VERY GOOD at deceiving people.Beware of strange emails and especially strange phone calls. Don't forget that you can not trust Caller ID on your phone... it is very easy to spoof the name of your choice on caller ID. -
August 22, 2011 I just do a fresh install of Windows XP Professional formatting the hard drive. I then applied SP3 for an OEM CD, I bought from Microsoft several years (part number X 14-60166-02). Even if it is now at the level of the SP3, the automatic updates from the Microsoft web site will not work. If I bought the latest version of the SP3 CD-ROM, which will be the same as what I have now, or it will integrate all of the fixes that have taken place in recent years? Thanks for any help on this.
