scam or really attacked by pirates? not a phone call, the new tab opened by saying that I have to call

a 888 number and do nothing to the computer until I've had technical assistance.  I called them and a (non-native) Indian answered the phone and told me my computer was attacked by pirates and they stole my financial information.

the tale is that he said that Microsoft programs have a trigger when someone is hacking the computer it will send a warning to consumers and their technical support and that the only way to stop piracy was to have the computer registered with Microsoft and have the wall of fire from Microsoft and it comes free.  I asked Norton and *?  He said Norton was just for the virus and RCP is a scam.  He said that he could not stop hackers and intended to correct the problem, to speak with legal to check what would be the cost!

$199.99 to install the fire wall to the service of life.

I feel like I've been diverted, victim of a scam and pirate!  Microsoft please indicate whether this is legitimate?

Yes, you have been scammed.

Contact your banking company or credit card immediately to reverse the charges. Also file a report with your local Police Department.

  • by default the new tab opens to a page not available

    Greetings, everytime I open a new tab, the page always headed "chrome://quick_start/content/index.html" which would be fine except that the page seems not to exist, I think it may have been hijacked by a "update module false" while my mother used my laptop, anyway I tried to remove all traces of the update and cancel all changes However I can't seem to get this right, even if it is to direct the new tab to a new site... for example google.com that would be helpful, thanks in advance! Very much appreciated.

    Install this extension which will reset the NewTab URL the default, among other pref resets, it does.

    When I click on the new tab button nothing happens. It also will not open a new tab when I click on 'new tab' in the file menu. I have windows 7

  • The new tab 'Open' commands either menu or the + tab do not work. A new tab is created only when an existing site opens a new window.

    happens all the time. The "tab" on the right of the open browser tab does not work and neither does the menu file/new tab.

    Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

  • New tabs open to the right of the current page, not extreme right?

    I liked using the new tab button, which disappeared from the most recent version, I had to go back to 38 to find it and put it back on my toolbar. However, I was not able to set the way in which the new tab opens, next to the page that I am. Previously, if I clicked on the new tab button, a new tab would open at the far right of the tabs. I tried to fix it by going to about: config, changing the browser.tabs.insertrelatedaftercurrent to 'false' to 'true' as was the fix in 2013. Alas, it doesn't now and I want to change it back. In addition, the new tab icon/button is gone for good in the new versions?

    If your new tab button opens a tab in the middle of your tabs, it could be a feature of an extension related to tab. Some of them, such as Tab Mix Plus and Tab Utilities have so many parameters it can be a challenge to sort through all of them. You can check your extensions and check if they have an Options button to tweak their settings, on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then go through the list on the right side.

  • New tabs open in a new window or in a pre-existing window that is not currently used.

    What happened is that I was running two windows of Firefox at the same time and trying to open a new tab, the new tab opens in the window I was not currently using. Later, I closed a window and trying to open links in a new tab, instead it will open a new window.

    I checked the settings of the options that would be opening a new window opens a new tab instead turned on, which is.

    My hunch is that one of your extensions is cause that to happen.

  • I have a file on my computer which is not allowing me access because he says that I have no rights of the file even if I'm an admin, how can I get rid of him?

    A random file popped into my computer and is secure. It keeps tellin me I do not have the rights to open it, but when I change the rights an error comes saying that access was denied. I don't know what it is and how to get rid of? to tell you the truth, it seems good to suspects and for all I know a virus. If it helps, I am the administrator and it says I have all rights to the computer, so it's really weird.

  • Where can I find the new tab controls, not wheel

    I can't change the new tab to display the tiles.

    You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.
    You can use these special pages or set the pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.

    • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
    • the default homepage is Subject: Home
    • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

    The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • If we consider how help topics are listed in the NEW TAB page, it would not sense for her return to the old style, one that was simple and effective

    Suck it features 'NEW TAB', to say clearly in computer talk about the terms. With so many people asking how it works or how to get back to the old design, would it be better to compile all the negative comments and confusion on this new format, and reverse back to the old design? As the saying goes... "IF IT ain't BROKE...". DO NOT REPAIR. "I don't even use the NEW TAB page now that I have no desire to understand or read how get my links to be retained and which stored again. A lot of my links aren't there anymore and even visit the sites, is not put these links on the NEW selection TAB page. Honestly this just unwanted thing. Guys we need to stop changing things that work. Sometimes, when a thing is created... you were right the first time. Sorry, but are running out of Internet Explorer. They did not move, but... when they have did... it was just things that need an update or a hotfix.

    I also hate the new shit tab in 38.0.5!

    Open a new tab if you need with speed, it's much better all you have to do is write about: config newtab in the search box and and delete what has the newtab value, as you can see in the picture, I don't download.

    In the last 24 hours I've sent many requests for 'change password' for those that I tried did not work, so I can connect!

    You say you sent an email over and over again, but no one came to my email which is confirmed you have the right address!

    There is absolutely no evidence that you tried to send an email to me, I checked the spam, I even looked to see if somehow, it went one folder other then my Inbox, nothing has been received on your part!

    Removed edit email and public telephone for spammers robots do not find.

    You can enter the wrong email address. I tested 2 fake emails in the password reset page and received the green check mark telling me that the password reset emails have been sent. It is not a real confirmation that your e-mail address is used by Firefox accounts.

    This is done this way so that hackers and spammers can not cheat the system by typing many kinds of emails at random and wait to see if they get a confirmation 'this e-mail address is. So for security reasons, all the entered addresses electronic are treated as real even if there is no account that corresponds to this e-mail.

    Please try some of your other email addresses here and see if you receive a password reset email in these accounts.

  • c 36. will not open the link in a new tab, opens the tab I'm on

    by clicking on a link or a bookmark will not open a new tab, it opens on the tab I'm already. Have already tried tools/options/tabs/check the windows open again in a new tab instead. It does not work.

    Hi, Firefox doesn't. You need to right click > open link in a new tab. Otherwise, click the mouse wheel. Or, hold down the Ctrl key when you click on the left.

    There are also modules such as Tab Mix Plus,or bookmarks only, try to open bookmarks in new tab.

    Hope that helps.
