    Hello

    I called my son, who is very wise in the substance of the computer, so talk about th.  He came, looked at him and said that one of its computers had the same problem. but that was it for Windows XP, there.  He went home, got a disc with something I think that loaded malicious software in my computer, and he took care of the virus called.

    He told me that this happened for a while and it is certain that Microsoft is aware of it.  I have an antivrus program, but he told me that some of the terrible things that are sent are move the normal programs.

    My question is: do you know about, and if you do, why are you not protect us from him?  If the malicious software can do it, I'm sure you can.

    I look forward to hearing from you in this regard.

  • How do contact you windows to report a scam phone call

    Hi I was just wondering how do you report this scam to the phone call, you go to your local police or don't expect, or how can contact you with windows, I get these calls every day telling me I have a virus and to turn on my computer, it is a call of the Indian region, but the problem is that they call my house number and I don't have my home number recorded by windows / hotmail. So how they got, it's unreal. I was wondering if anyone can help urgently! Thank you

    Hi Niamh,

    If you know who is in contact with you, then you can either call their phone service provider and ask them to try to block the number or contact your local police.

    Microsoft has nothing to do with those calls.

    I downloaded the LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office for evaluation with LabVIEW 2010. Examples to help get a lot of errors, including "the Subvi is not executable. You must fix any errors in the Subvi before this can run VI. "and"this VI or element belongs to a library that has expired or improperly licensed. "

  • A friend received a scam popup "Microsoft."

    She works on computer and got a pop-up "Microsoft", telling him that his computer was in jeopardy and dial this number: 1-800-533-7585.

    Then talked to Bruce, who said he was in California and he took over his computer.  He said where there were security gaps or violates and said she had a Trojan horse and that she had to buy Norton Antivirus.  She got suspicious and called his ISP on his phone.  The woman said that MS would not send this message so she hung up Bruce.  She received an invoice by e-mail of SOFTECH HIBISCUS in Delaware.  (We have the address and phone whether it would be useful to the invoice).

    What programs should we run to make sure that your computer is secure?

    Hello

    Scam.

    Microsoft Corporation and/or their affiliates will never get in touch with you through "popups", phone calls (unless you make arrangements with them), etc.,.

    And your computer does not send reports to someone saying it is infected by malware, errors, software etc...

    As your friend gave them remote access and if they make the Internet banking, they should contact their bank to explain and change password.

    If they use their online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued for them.

    And the only way they will know that they are free of them to back up their data and do a clean install of the operating system.

A man who sounded like it was said in India with Windows Office customer and was called because my computer was producing a lot of somethings 'international' and error messages, indicating that it is probably infected by malicious viruses. I asked him his number twice. When he give it to me, I hung up.

    A moment later my wife went down with a similar message and handed me the phone. The man identified himself as 'Alex '. He also sounded like he was in India and named a Microsoft service - department slightly different name which I did not write down. He asked me: "How are you today." I said clearly, 'Suspects '. He started to tell me some things on my computer. I asked him his phone number, and he gave it to me as: 8635 78 3 double 15.  I said to him saying that I had heard wrong: 8635 78 37115 and he corrected me: 8635 78 3 double-1 5 (i.e. 8635 78 3115) Then I said I would say Microsoft to check myself and hung up.
