• Thunderbird will not send any emails... but claims that they are "sent" (no error message)

  Until early this month my Thunderbird worked very well with my roadrunner email address. I have not downloaded any new software or made any changes to my settings during this period. Now I can send is more emails (even though it claims that they are sent), and I never get an error message. I am definitely in online mode, can receive all messages very well and can send messages from my server fine road via webmail runner. I checked to ensure that no firewall or antivirus is blocking my outgoing messages and that the SMTP protocol is correct. Help, please!

  Did you ask Road Runner why your sent emails do not leave their server?

  Thunderbird, says 'send successfully' when it get an acknowledgement from the server that the mail has been received ok for the transmission. Your only option is therefore asking for RoadRunner.

  I had problems with the Internet. After many trials and tribulations, I was able to come back.

  I received three calls from someone who told me that microsoft has noticed activity too in my computer about this issue.it asked this company to fix the problem. They tell me that it's a company that has been commissioned by Microsoft to do the job.

  They called me three times. The first time, they tell me that they are based in California. The second time the same person recalls. Today, some calls from New York. WHST is happening?

  Phishng scam!

  Never let anything called 'Microsoft Tech' to connect to your computer.
  Microsoft does NOT make that.

  FYI...
  Currently, Microsoft only provides a support Forum to help customers.
  There is no 'live', e-mail, 'phone' remote, or paid a pension available.
  The only support is here on this Forum, nobody can help.

• McAfee tells me that they are unable to support Firefox 25.0. What can I dowgrade to 24.0?

  I noticed a warning on my Extensions of Firefox screen who advised "McAfee SiteAdviser 2.8 invalid due to stability or security problems". After conferring with McAfee, I told myself that they do not currently support Firefox 25.0 and it would be better if I go down to the cover of version 24.0 or an earlier version to keep McAfee. I can do this, or is there another solution?
  My PC is running Windows XP.

  No, you should stay on Firefox 25. SiteAdvisor has literally does nothing to increase your safety, but by using an older version of Firefox leave you horribly insecure. McAfee updates SiteAdvisor anyday now if you really want to use it

• I was receiveing calls from microsoft stating that attempts to take over my computer has been detected.

  About once or twice a month, I get a phone call from someone claiming to be with microsoft. This person said that there is evidence that someone is trying to take over my computer. Then he asked me to give him permission to embark on my computer to remove these attempts. My question is... is it the way that microsoft works and is a legitimate call? And should I allow this person access to my computer?

  become very frequent lately. See

  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.

• Anyone receiving calls from Microsoft Windows (call center from India by the sounds of it) saying that you have a corrupted file? Or is it a scam?

  We received a call last night from someone who claimed to be the Windows technical department saying that our computer has a file corrupted Microsoft on this issue.  First name: Richard Williams.  0261 004030 callback number.  Sounds like an Indian call center.

  I can't believe that cold Microsoft calls people.

• Call gooseberry, saying they are a Microsoft partner

  Original title: Gooseberry?  SF TV #.

  I received a phone call from a company called gooseberry to mackerel.  They said that they are a Microsoft partner and they have received a message saying that I have a problem.  Are they legitimate? They have a phone number for San Francisco.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  But NO error message is sent from your computer to anyone.

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.
