Saying of pop-up window I have a virus and call immediately

I was reading my email and a message pop up came in saying I have a virus and immediately call 1-844-307-5972.  It's for real?

No, this message will be a scam.

  • How can I force pop-up windows to have toolbars and menus in their entirety?

    Whenever you click on a link to a website that opens a context menu, it creates a pop-up with limited functions. It is very confusing for novice users who often need to print this page, but can't, because the menus and toolbars have disappeared.

    Is there a setting or a Firefox Extension to force pop-up windows to have always toolbars and menus in their entirety?

    See-> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Prevent_websites_from_disabling_new_window_features

    • in the filter on the topic: config display (see below) type dom.disable_window_open_feature
    • Double-click the elements which show the value 'false' to change to 'true' (user set / "BOLD").
    • the already set parameters are 'true' by default Firefox and you do not need to change these

    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. It is better to avoid being scammed 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.

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    It comes to the use of the partition Recovery of Acer to restore factory settings.

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means that all of your files, such as e-mail and photos, will be deleted. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all data before starting the recovery process.

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
    3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
    4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
    5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
    6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
    7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens or the recovery Partition is damaged, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

    How to add a pop-up window to set the date and time in a field? I know how to add the date. I create the field time with JavaScript event initialize like this:

    this.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(4));

    What I should change the script and the motive to do it properly.

    I changed the Format of data (object > link tab) date time but nothing happen. I want to set up a pop-up window as for the setting of date but with addition of time setting.

    Is this possible? Or that the date fixed like that? Should I get hour hand?

    Hello

    I don't think you will get both in the calendar popup. Basically, the popup calendar is the default behavior. It may be possible to develop a custom component, but it would take a bit of scripting and would probably not be worth the effort.

    I'd get the user to time manually entry in a separate field.

  • "Windows Vista Security Center" close browser windows, precise I have a virus, and now no programs will be opened. Windows does not start in safe mode, and all the system restore points have already disappeared.

    Hello

    I have a Dell laptop under Windows Vista Premium. I got it for about three years, and he is upset enough ok tonight. In the middle of browsing the internet, check my email, etc., all but one of my browser windows close at random, and a message appears "windows vista Security Center" whenever I try to open a new window, blocking of the site and to say that the site is dangerous and my system has been infiltrated by a Trojan horse. Then he starts the scan and says that I must buy the full to get everything to work again. I closed everything, since I already have McAfee antivirus and internet security, but it does not, and neither did any other progams. I tried restarting in safe mode to restore a backup point, but Windows does not open in safe mode, rather stick for half an hour in the middle of loading. When I managed to start windows in normal mode, I found that all my past restore points had been erased.

    This happened to someone else, and it is fixable without wiping everything?

    Thanks in advance,
    Emma

    Hi Emma,

    This could be due to a virus on your computer.  Try to make a virus on your computer scan to check if your computer is infected.
