• I received 2 calls today from someone speaking very rugged sayng they are Microsoft English

  original title: Microsoft calls

  Today, I received 2 calls from someone speaking very rugged sayng English they are from Microsoft and that they receive the error messages from my computer.  I told them that I wanted someone to call me that their mother tongue was English and that I had read his name as if it was a scam... They are a scam, no?  By the noise in the background, it is obvious that they call a center of mass-marketing appeal.

  They certainly are. See: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx

• Fake call? I received a call today from someone claiming to be Windows Support

  original title: fake call?

  Today, I got a call from someone claiming to be Windows Support, saying he was getting my computer error messages. I (stupidly) allowed remote access to my computer and I was told that there were a great many virus that needed to be removed or it would break. While he was trying to sell my software I bcan suspect and ended the call. Now, I am very worried that if it was a fake call, could he have installed something on my computer, or access personal information, and how do I know?

  Pay attention to what Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP.
  Already, you let the sammer with access remotely. Nothing else short of reinstalling Vista and change your account and the password will save your computer.
  Do it NOW.

• I received a call today from someone who claims to be from windows

  Hello

  my antivirus expired a few days ago and since my pc has been slow and does not start on a number of occasions so update internet security was already a priority, but today I got a call to the United Kingdom from a woman who sounded Asian. My phone reception was poor and I could barely hear what she was saying half the time, but she said he was calling from windows and said that my PC is downloading from several viruses that have access to my personal data and sending it. She told me to turn on my pc so that she could show me where to lay the problem and how to solve it, she said also that I had been sent a message windows or a warning. I told her 3 or 4 times that I had not had my laptop available, claiming that it was in my car of partners before the message finally seemed to sink, she asked what would be the right time to call me back and I said after 18:00 Fortunately, I am familiar with remote access facilities and became suspicious immediately when told she was calling from windows and therefore , I'm not going to follow other instructions later today it must call back - surprisingly seems to have no message or alerts Windows as she claimed - I just hope that others are on their guard against scams like this.
  Thank you

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• Received a call from phone to Microsoft lawyers, where should I report this?

  I just got a phone call from Mike Johnson to "microsoft" telling me that he would help me with my unwanted programs.  who should I report this?

  Microsoft is aware of this type of common scam. See:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  If you report to your local police do.

  In the meantime, do not give these crooks of the news when they call. Do not give them access to your PC and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Microsoft issues never such was not asking for calls.

• Received a call from someone on Microsoft being corrupt and Trojans and spyware programs

  I allowed someone in my computer that said they called on Microsoft programs that have been corrupted.  Says that my computer was loaded with thousands of Trojans and spyware. In fact, they were from a company called EProctionz.  How can I be sure that my computer is safe.

  It's just a phone scam. Your computer will be safe as long as you don't allow them access. See this courtesy of Dave_M - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytipstalk/archive/2010/03/09/don-t-fall-for-phony-phone-tech-support.aspx

• Question about preinstalled Microsoft Office 2007

  I don't know what subject im talking - this pc was again this year and they gave me a code to activate product for this how the above has now expired - get a new one?
  I didn't do anything at all without that happens? Someone said that you can get another free one where well?

  Any help greatly appreciated

  Hello

  Your laptop came preinstalled Office 2007, but only as a trial version which works just 60 days.
  When you start it for the first time, you will get key online but for only 60 days. After this period you must purchase the activation code to get the full version.

  If you want to have 60 days once again, you must install OS using Toshiba recovery image. After this free trial 60 days turn on again and it should work.

• Received a call from the scam making pretend to be Windows technician

  Original title: the license expires

  Received a call today by a technician from Windows indicating they received the error messages from my computer and that my IP address has been disconnected.  I bought my computer in 2004 and never received any notice.  He said that some of my programs may stop working if I did not renew the license.  My question is - is - it a legal representative of Windows or just someone trying to sell a product?

  (1) "licensing" do not expire.

  (2) no MS gets your computer error messages. In fact, they would have no way of knowing something about you.

  (3) it is not a representative of Windows. Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls.

  (4) it is a well known scam talked again and again in these forums.

  (5) they do not sell anything. They want access to your computer and your credit card. You know what's going to happen.

  I have Windows 7 and the 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1) update always fails.  Also Microsoft Office Outlook often does not open without having to restart the pc.

  Hi hound3101,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  a. you are able to install some other updates?
  b. do you receive error messages when you start Microsoft Office Outlook?

  If you have a problem only in the Office Update installation, then I suggest you to report your problem in the Office Discussion groups. If not, try download office update from the link below and install it in clean boot mode.

  Link to the Group Discussion Board: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx

  To enter the mode of clean boot of your computer, follow these steps.
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
   
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
   
  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after starting the computer, install the update.

  Hope this information is useful.
  Let me know if it worked.

• Microsoft calls customers about problems with their computer? I received a call; They claim back Monday at 14:00.

  I received a call from Microsoft saying that I am facing a problem on my computer.  They said there are technical service.  I told them it sounded like a scam and they said they could prove it.  Told me to press the Microsoft button while pressing the letter 'r '.  I told them that I don't have the time to do what I was about to leave the House for a race.  They said they'd call back Monday at 14:00.  Is it a scam?  Or is it legitimate?

  It's a real call from Microsoft?
