  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. Better avoid fooling themselves 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. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

• I downloaded Windows XP from the Windows Service Center. It is an exe file. How can I extract this to a disc and burn I can install it?

  I downloaded Windows XP from the Windows Service Center. It's a .exe. When I click on it, it is extracted to a folder I called "xp". How can I obtain these data on a disk to install XP from a CD? Should what steps I take? I am running Windows 7.

  original title: Burning a disk XP

  Putting aside if the 64-bit version of XP is what you need, when you ran the exe, the file that was extracted (i.e., in the folder named "xp") should have been an ISO file.

  Files ISO are CD images and are intended to be burned (NOT copied) to a writable CD.

  Assuming that you have the correct hardware (CD burner), you can burn your ISO as described here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file

  Note that what you downloaded is NOT "Windows XP Mode" which is available for use with Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition.  The image you uploaded is for installation on a separate computer (or in a dual-boot configuration) - assuming you have the required license keys.

He said that he called because I was a loyal customer of windows and he wanted to fix my pc of some errors as it gets when I download files. I asked how he knew, he said his company gets alerts when clients receive error messages. He asked me to go in the Viewer (eventvwr.exe) events I watched administrative events and Windows logs and saw many warnings and errors. He also had me go into the filter to search by errors, and I could see several errors. After he checked, I had several errors, he tried to connect to my PC to correct the errors. (He assured me that it would be a tax)! I asked why he did and again he said "because you are such a loyal customer of windows. He also said that if there was any critical errors, there may be a small fee.

• Security Windows Service Center has been removed

  Hi all

  I have a Windows 7 x 64 machine.

  I had a virus, and just after its withdrawal, I discovered that the Windows Update Service and Windows Security Center Service has been removed.

  I have reinstalled Windows Update Service, but could not find where I can download the software to reinstall the Windows Security Center Service...

  How can I reinstall it?

  Thank you for your help.

  The service has been removed, not just turned off. So I'm more in the list of local services in Services.msc

  This REG fix restores the missing Security Center service.

  http://www.Winhelponline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Misc/W7-wscsvc.zip

  Download/Unzip/Run the REG file, and then restart Windows.

• Scam phone Windows Support Center?

  Hello

  , I just received a phone call from someone claiming to be Centre.They of Windows Support tried to tell me that my computer was damaged and he sent them continually 'wireless error messages.

  I hung up on them thinking that it was a scam but they knew my full name, address & telephone number.

  Jumped the gun by hanging up on them?
  What is the best way to know if the computer is damaged?
  I have Kaspersky Pure on the computer.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  You have made the right choice.

  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/msname.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.

  Good! Hanging up was the right thing to do. The call was a scam, and
  with all the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common
  lately. See
  http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/08/virus-scams-social-engineering-victims.html

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you had let in your computer, which knows what losses are that they
  He would do or what confidential information that they would be
  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.

• The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish even queries with WMI to third-party antivirus monitor, anti-spyware and firewall.

  Original title: do I have to re - install Windows 7?

  Today, I opened the Action Center and noticed that Panda Internet Security reported he was off, when it wasn't.  I checked the administrative events and one of the errors was: Security Windows Service Center could be same queries WMI to monitor third party antivirus, antispyware and firewall.  I've got Panda IS 2012 running, which is a very good program.

  I just spent a good hourzs little addressing a Panda technicina, who, after a lot of faffing autour, told me that I either set up a new profile, or I re - install Windows, I don't want to do, because I could lose the system restore facilities, (I had to ask Microsoft to help me address the issue of the restoration of the system because it did not work).  The problem with the Security Center Windows Service dates back to August 10, 2011.

  Anyone know what I'd do, which involves having to uninstall and reinstall Windows?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  1. which parameter is used to install Panda antivirus?

  2 did you use typical or custom?

  If you use Panda IS 2012 as an anti-virus, then Windows Security Center may have disabled the native Windows Firewall, that does send a real-time alert. You can try shooting the alert and check.

  Important: Select the security settings, once you have done to solve the problem.

  You can also check the parameters of Panda IS 2012 to allow the automatic update and other necessary parameters.

  I got a phone call from a person by the name of David (talking about the India) who says it works from Windows to Bankstown Sydney Ausralia services center.  They told me I had a virus on my firewall and asked me to pay $80 .00AUD for the correction of a problem.  A week later the problem is still there and actually worse that originally.  No reception given and I asked one 2 times.

  Can you let me know if there is a place called Windows Service Centre in Sydney Australia.  They also ask to connect to teamviewer.com and a gentleman there called me after I had sent an email to complain about not receiving my payment.  The man said there is a scam going and they use his company called teamviewer.com

Do not open the attachment.
