    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. Better avoid fooling themselves 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. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

    No! Microsoft never this.  It's a scam and with various
    the names and phone numbers, those who become very common these days.

    In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
    If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
    where confidential information they stole.

    So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
    immediately:

    1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
    2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
    financial sites.

  • Access to folders and files on your computer using the UNC path in another area

    We have two different fields in our society (let's say the domain A and domain B)

    and are under the same subnet. Since some colleagues need to access the files in both sides,

    What we had planned is to their PC to join A domain and create a user account in domain B.

    When they need to access domain B to domain A PC files, they simply type in the unc path and

    Enter the credentials of their domain user account B.

    Now the situation is, when the user types in their identification of the B domain user account information, it always displays in Windows security:

    Connection failure: unknown username or bad password

    I wonder - is this due to the feature win CredSSP 7, as the CredSSP will affect Remote Desktop

    that cause similar unless problem shut down us by editing the default.rdp.

    Anyone know CredSSP is the cause of this problem? Or is it caused by another issue & no work around for it?

    Hello Frederik,

    I have already made to precede the user name with the domain name but always this error.

    Why I think that it is related to CredSSP is because I got the same error when I use

    remote control for PC B of the domain A PC. While the issue of distance is resolved by changing

    default.RDP with notepad, adding, [enablecredsspsupport:i:0] at the end.

    So, I wonder the problem of file also caused by CredSSP.

  • How can we take our music from minidiscs and put it in our computer and have separate pieces as they are put in we have a Diamond's optical input sound card?-paul

    How can we put our music in our computer and have separate songs are put in? We have an optical input sound card

    Which drive do you have to Minidisc? There a digital coaxial or optical output?

    Normally it is possible by repeating the tracks in real time. However, if you have or can get hold of one of the recorders of clean late edition of Sony, it would be possible to transfer recordings directly * via USB at up to 32 x speed in real time.

    Once you have all recorded audio in Audition or by direct transfer, you can easily divide their place and a save as individual tracks.

    * Direct transfer may be only possible with records not protected against copying.
