  This is a complete scam.  You can report it to your local police.

  For your own protection, you should:
  • Change your passwords on email accounts, accounts financial and sensitive to which accounts you access online from this PC.  RIGHT NOW!
  • Run a full scan of your PC using your antivirus application...    Also download and run a full scan with Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free edition).  MBAM is a very good solution in addition to your primary backup antivirus/antimalware application.
  • I would also go here: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Shared/Help.aspx and follow the advice of "I think that my PC is infected", including potentially calls MS help.
  • Above all, do not delay!  If you have any concerns about the handling of it, then disconnect your computer from the internet and call MS before anything else.

• Start-up and other issues

  The other night, I was dl a game from one of the links you get in games in program files. Everything was fine until I tried to install it then the pc froze. I cut the power he turned his back and he got to the homepage then went black, then I myself ran safe mode 3 virus and antispyware, had to do a restore to start just so he can show all of my office and other. I'm not sure what goes on with the pc, but I was going to just make a recovery, I think that is what they're calling a reformat now, one day, if not let me know lol. I don't have a disc for the pc, they told me at the store windows no longer gives records, nor do I have a return to the high drive could never get to burn for me. I know I can go and do it as problem of recovery is when I'm not in safe mode and the pc gives me a full boot, I can't do anything. It is not to connect to the internet, if I try to click on everything about windows I get this lil swirly circle. Sorry I'm not very familiar with the technical names but I think I got my point in. If someone could help me to reformat to back I would really appreciate it. I have a hp all in one desktop pc. Thank you.

• Refresh after Windows10 resembles the old Firefox; all pages in FF look 'safe mode' and other issues.

  Hello

  I recently downloaded Windows 10 and noticed FF goes really slowly. So in some way I have refreshed it. I knew that this would erase some bits of data, but now I am unable to restore things.

  It looks like an earlier version. When I go to any page FF, everything appears in a list. I can't choose a new theme, for example, b/c the Mozilla page cannot display graphics. In addition, I'm typing this in Chrome b/c there is no text box when I open this page in FF. I don't want to go back to Chrome.

  Thank you!

  Thank you, in this case, please turn off https scanning in avast, as it is known to cause various problems:

  1. Open the Avast dashboard on an affected system.
  2. Select settings in the left side menu.
  3. Adopt a Protection Active.
  4. Click on customize next to the Web Shield.
  5. Uncheck the option "Enable HTTPS analysis", and then click ok.

• Problem with iTunes gel preferences and other issues.

  I don't know why, but the week last iTunes randomly decided to not work: whenever I try to open the preferences panel it hangs and release only randomly after a few minutes only to freeze again when I change the tabs. Also, all devices that I connect so that open freezes iTunes, yet once it thaws in itself rarely after waiting an hour or more but crashes again soon after.

  I tried everything short of wiping the disk and start from scratch (not an option to be honest): followed every single link help I found on Apple's site, used several malware scanner, defragmented, made several clean install iTunes and its components.

  I'm on an ASUS N53SV win 10, latest version, all the updated drivers. I don't really know what else remains.

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• Sound and other issues with Qosmio x 300-11

  Hello

  I purchased a Qosmio x 300-11s there are a little over 2 months. I have usually more than 1 audio application on at a time, for example radio game world of warcraft, but since today if I try to run more than 1 sound application or a program like world of warcraft which runs to several sound channels at once I get nothing. The sound stops completely right, I can also hear the fan hitting the basis if I up the laptop a little on the side. In games and other things, that he also got a little slow, Warcraft as much as the drop in 50-15 FPS, but which could also be a problem in game. Did I do the fix try the sound and the fps of the laptop or is it an internal problem maybe

  The game slows down could be related to the problem I have with temperatures on my 300 x 11 s. You can download a temperature monitoring tool like HWmonitor [http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php] and [http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/] Furmark to measure the temperature of the gpu, then all running stability test mode non-plein screen and post back with the gpu reported max temperature.

  Mine will reach close to 100 c while performing this test and I bought it 3 weeks ago. I hate the idea of what it will be like when a little dust deposits on the fan

• Satellite L310D - Viruses and the issue of recovery

  My partner has a Satellite L310D, which recently is victim to the virus of windows security.
  We initially tried to restore to a previous restore point but he resurfaced after a few days.

  We then reinstalled windows from the recovery partition of the HARD disk which seems at first sight have been around but after opening explorere and surfing the net, it keeps us bombing with a windows error.

  Also, when you are in the google search, then clicking on a link, it will open additional search pages and refuses to open the link.

  Finally, he did not finish we updated windows and lifted up a windows error which we can not get rid of despite their support pages.
  I learn the virus can have dug in the registry but I thought the restoration of HARD drive would address this issue.

  If he touched the entire hard drive and how do I sort?
  We do not have an available recovery disk.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated that we cannot use it as it is. Apart from this, the machine was great for our needs.

  > If it has affected the entire hard drive and how do I sort?
  Well, a virus could affect the functionality of the system.
  Usually the antivirus software should be able to remove this but some viruses are really good and new OS install might be a better solution.

  If you don t have recovery disks (generally you must create it in the first day of the purchase of the laptop), then you could order it here:

• WNDR3700v2 dropped connection and other issues

  So a few days so that I was playing a game on my desktop connected via the ethernet cable disconnected from the internet and I got a metered connection. I noticed that the green light blinking on the modem was green and not flashing and even with the router so I turned my computer off and unplug the modem and the router, and 10 minutes later tried to connect the modem and it is not at all connect up to 30 minutes later. Then today, while using the computer my modem was fine but the active router orange power light and the activity of solid turned orange flashing light but the others were green and after a few minutes limited connection it started working again.

  At the moment I went into the settings on the router and I got a weird message say im signed another device which is impossible because I only have access to the settings on this computer. I immediately changed my password router and wifi password. He had nothing in the logs at all. I have the latest firmware and have UPNP turns off and wide and remote router PIN is disabled. I know that my computer does not have a virus because I just got 5 months ago and I use it only for my mmorpg games and not surfing the web, I use my phone for this. Also I leave only 1 devices to connect to the router at a time to prevent the spread of a virus, if one of them has been infected. My computer and drivers are up-to-date and secure, and so is the router. I tried to replace the modem and the surge protector and that did not help. Strangely enough, it is just started recently and I did not move my modem or router for about a year, so I can't imagine his interference.

  Also, I used to get the attacks back almost one or twice daily random ip addresses so im not sure if, maybe, they broke into my router the or not, but I regularly use virus protection/firewall and scan with malwarebytes and I opened all the ports

  Maybe the router is running out.

  Try to reflash the firmware on the router, reset and reconfigure.

  When you reconfigure, replace all the settings to a different SSID wireless and use a wifi password stronger as well as the connection to the router password.

  Observe your connection.

  It's a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one who has
  become very frequent lately. See

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
  where confidential information they 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

• My laptop HP Pavilion G6 takes so long to start and other issues.

  Hello! I have problems with my laptop, I have a HP Pavilion g6. This isn't an old computer I only got it for less then a year. My laptop takes so long to start. When I turn on the laptop it takes so long to come to the screen where u enter your password and when I type my password it takes so long to come to my home screen and now its freezes sometimes when I throw things like facebook or other things. I tried fixing it by having my laptop for a problem look. He found a problem that I've corrected, but it did not help. I tried google, and he says things like u might have a lot of cookies, junk files, virus or cache etc (I have an anti-virus installed in my computer as well). Very confusing! Its my 1st laptop after a very long period and this information is very confusing to me. If anyone can help!

  Original title: problem with my windows 8.

  Security Essentials scans files as they are downloaded from the Internet, Yes.  In my opinion, no other additional internet security is necessary as long as you practice good habits like not downloading websites you really trust and take seriously the messages of warning and never just by clicking 'allow' unless really trust you him.

  Also on startup programs, you have no need to again use the program. If you disable on this auto start, you can still open the program when you want normally (the only difference is that the program cannot start itself without you more).

• Photoshop CS6 will create not instant and other issues

  Recently, I had to update my computer and now works on Win10 (as 7) with the suite CS6. Just put the programs yesterday and noticed a few immediate problems. Two main issues I'm need a fix for and impossible to find on most of the files, I cannot choose to 'Save For Web'... "and now I know why. and when you use the Shift + Alt + Ctrl + E keyboard shortcut to generate a merged snapshot of layer in the layers panel, the shortcut doesn't do anything. I can create snapshots of history in the history panel, but that's all.

  I have checked the forums and help sections, etc.. The option "Merge a copy of all visible layers into target layer" is not available in my program for any reason any. I included a screencap of the relevant section of the default hotkeys for PS (from the photoshop reference guide) compared to what is in my program settings. I also checked to make sure that this control is not just 'hidden' - it is just not there.
  There may be other problems that arise, but for now, that's what I have. Can't find the answers elsewhere... I hope that someone else has had this problem and knows a good solution for it. I hope that this is just a step somewhere it's simple and I've simply forgotten... Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately, CS6 is no longer supported and is not recommended with Windows 10. There are several posts on things, people have tried with CS6, but most of them seem to be hit or miss at best. Many users have downgraded Win 8 to continue using the CS6.

  These are only a few of them:

• ESXi 4.1, ESXi 5.1 - migration of data base and other issues

  Hello, we have a pretty small environment ESXi 4.1 Enterprise Plus
  with 3 guests. We have a standalone physical SQL server that hosts the database
  and a VM Server 2008 64 bit running vCenter. I wanted to use Server 2008 R2
  for the vCenter, so I intend to install a new VM running this OS. Is it possible
  the new basis of use 4.1 existing vCenter 5.1 (I guess he needs to)
  mise_a_jour/migration) and have 3 4.1 ESXi hosts to vCenter 5.1 report? I have
  then remove the vCenter 4.1 and upgrade the hosts of 4.1 to 5.1. The
  Another option Im contemplating implements the vCenter 5.1 with a new SQL
  database.

  Also there are issues keeping the hosts at 4.1 when using
  vCenter 5.1 for a few weeks?

  Thank you!

  Is it possible to have the new vCenter 5.1 using the existing base of 4.1

  Years: This is not possible, during the upgrade to vCenter Server 4.1 to 5.1, I saw the database schema changes. Schema be compatible freshly installing vCenter server 5.1 and connects to the 4.1 database and do not support.

  A report of hosts ESXi 4.1 3 Center 5.1?

  Years: It is possible, ESXi4.1 works seamlessly with vCenter Server 5.1. Once you upgrade to vCenter server 5.1 level, all the host esx4.1 will connect to improved vCenter Server 5.1

  The other option I'm contemplating implements the vCenter 5.1 with a new SQL database.

  Years: you lose all configurations and need to connect ESX4.1 to the new host Server 5.1 and reconfiguration

  Also is there any problem keeping the hosts to 4.1 using vCenter 5.1 for a few weeks?

  Years: As mentioned above, it works and it is compatible.

• Cp1252 Txt and other issues

  Hi all, before I tell you: Yes, I've seen other threads

  Version: InDesign CS4, with the latest updates. (it broke down with and without these applied)
  Operating system: XP sp 3, freshly reformatted and updated

  Question: InDesign installs well, updates very well, then after 1-2 use crashes. It serves to plant and require reinstalling for different reasons before reformat, now it just gives: "lack required file cp1252.txt" and need to reinstall.

  -If I try and uninstall in Add/Remove, it is said that it is already uninstalled.
  -If I run the suite cleaner, it says that nothing is there

  -Is adobe still clearly in the files.
  -It is installed on another computer. end (win 7 I think)

  
  Before reformat, it's the liscencing breaking. The same results happened over him now is something else.

  issues related to the:
  -T-32 or 64 bit versions has something to do with it. I don't have a program file (x 86), being an old PC, so everything is in the same place...

  -Is this a conflict with any other adobe products (only other facility other than what was on the CD of indesign is reader and flash plugins for browsers) or is it just a metter of move the files to the location?

  -What is the legality of lighting adobe HQ on fire?

  -Is it just my bad luck, or am I doing part of the only handful of people who run these programs very well on an older computer/OS?

  It's very frustrating, because I sank more than 12 hours last week (most of it on hold) to the Adobe customer service, and now all of a sudden they say they stopped supporting Cs4. GAH! I run a local weekly newspaper, and this is really bumming me out.
  Thank you forum hero!

  I refuse to spend several hundred dollars on a programme of work perfectly just because it's the DRM to malfunction.

  I fully support your reluctance to upgrade. In addition, it is well known that FlexNet is garbage. FlexNet is the protection of the license for another tool that I use on a daily basis, and so I'm really used to fight with her. It's a nasty piece of work, and part of its Magic (TM), is that when someone tries to remove it illegally (to break the protection license, I mean), it falls badly enough to require a disk format hard until you can get back to work. Which you already know, of course. (Thank your lucky stars that you don't need to feed the serial number of your hard drive or motherboard, for these kinds of FlexNet install, it'll never work on this new material.) Version of Adobe fortunately does not do this.)

  Two questions, one of which is a repetition:

  (1) you install an installation program downloaded, or a DVD?

  (2) have you tried all the things in this article? Reset rights on files related to FlexNet often works.

• Adobe Production Premium CS5.5 installation and other issues errors

  Hello

  I have just installed CS5.5 Adobe Production Premium on my computer and had a few errors pop up at the end of the installation.  I will paste the summary below.   I tried to install Procction Premium a couple of times.  I used the Adobe cleaning tool.  What I did the research, the Flash issue is a false error given that Flash was already installed on the computer.   The rest is connected to the program as well Flash?

  Thr programs all appear to work except for the below question well.

  My other question is that when I'm in Windows Explorer and I am entitled to say a .jpg file and select open with...  I am not able to choose Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for this question.  I have Dreamweaver CS4 and who is presented as an option.  I went through the process of trying to add the Adobe Photoshop .exe file, but it still does not work.  However, if I open Adobe Bridge, I can select Photoshop or Illustrator to open a file.  Is this related to my setup or is there something else?  I uninstall an older version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 I've had for years, but it was prior to the installation of Production Premium CS5.  Could that have caused a problem?  I read that uninstalling an old Photoshop can cause problems like this.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Yes, your installation errors seem to be false harmless errors associated with the brain dead install Flash. If the programs seem to work fine, don't worry in this regard. As much as not being only unable to open images with Photoshop from Windows Explorer, I recommend you to take this issue to the Photoshop forum.
