someone is trying to get into my computer via the internet?

I received a phone call regarding downloads from my computer I did not authorized, by saying that, because of the volume of these downloads, my computer is running slowly. I reported my computer "suspended" through the box that appears on a regular basis when I decided to close my browser because of a message "do not answer."

I've heard other people receiving these phone calls, but this is the first time I received a. The phone number that gave me was 855-888-5881; When I called this number gave me the site: www.ceylon-tech.com... that I have no intention to go unless you have more information that it is a valid site, authorized by Microsoft. Is your company knows nothing about it?

Nope. It's the new scam circulating. I wouldn't give them any information. Companies may not follow your PC or monitor your errors (when you send information to Microsoft, it is anonymous).

I would ignore or tell them that you will call the police. This ends in general calls.

  • Trying to get on Xbox Live using the internet connection in the hotel.

    I'm staying in a hotel until April, and I cannot lift the Xbox Live and running. I am able to connect and download content, but no matter what I do, I can not send messages or play games. I tried just using the Xbox built in wireless, using the command "getmac" and inserting another address MAC for my Xbox, and I tried to connect via a bridge on my laptop connection (that is able to take full advantage of the internet), or they did the trick.

  • iertutil.dll was not found after trying to download internet explorer 8. I can't get into my computer. Not even the start screen.

    I can't get into my computer.  All I can get is the Task Manager.  It shows all my still intact material, I'm not him.  Not even to my home screen.  All that appears is my screensaver and a message saying to re - install iertutil. DLL... but how to do when I can't.

    Maybe someday, we will see again the proposal to:

    Once you open the Task Manager try the commands below.

    1. in the Task Manager, click file, and then click new task

    2. now type rstrui.exe and click OK

    This would launch the system restore on the computer refer the below Microsoft article more about the restoration of the system.

    If you really try , you would find that it does not work because rstrui.exe is unlikely that never will be in the PATH statement.

    If you want to launch the restoration of the system from the Task Manager, you will need to perform a new task like this:

    %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

    If c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll is missing, you will see a message like this:

    Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component

    The application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

    Because explorer.exe is not running, you will see only your background image /, but Ctrl-Alt-Delete will always bring up the Task Manager where you can maneuver around and replace the file.

    If the only problem with your system, it's that iertutil.dll is missing, you can replace the backup copy in the dllcache folder.  You can continue to obtain reviews iertutil.dll is absent, but just click OK for messages of recall as they pop up so you can continue working.

    One might think that you use the Task Manager, you can browse c:\windows\system32\dllcache and (after choosing to view all files) copy the iertutil.dll from there and then paste the iertutil.dll file in c:\windows\system32 where it belongs.  That actually works, but it seems that it does not work as you will get an hour glass stuck on the paste operation and perhaps wonder whether or not it has actually worked.

    To feel better replace the missing file, so you can actually see the file being copied and replaced... Task Manager, click file, new task and enter in the box (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window and first make a copy of the original file (if it exists) by entering the following command:

    copy c:\windows\system32\iertutil.old c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll

    That copies the file in progress if there is an and it will just complain if it is not a copy.

    We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Knowing this, copy the backup copy of the missing file and replace the missing or suspicious file by using this command:

    Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\iertutil.dll c:\windows\system32

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    Who will replace the missing or suspicious file and if that's all that's wrong with the system, Shut Down box Task Manager, you can choose to reboot your system and see how things are going.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    Not really, no.  It could be an accident too - someone ' one with a user name very similar to yours that's typo in their username, may not know why they are unable to open a session, requested a password reset, thinking they forgot what it.

  • How can I know if someone is trying to hack into my system?

    Original title: Hackers

    How can I know if someone is trying to hack into my system?

    If you see something strange, like move your mouse, you windows open randomly. In some cases, you may not notice anything.

    I suggest to do some checking, first run Windows Update and install all updates, if your system is outdated, it is easier to get hacked.

    Other than Windows, you must ensure that other applications on your PC are updated such as Java, Flash Player, and if any application asked for the update, please do.

    Make sure, of course, install Anti-Malware software and update it.

    Run a full system scan with:

    Hi grammyb54,

    1. Are what firewall you referring?
    2. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to make a lock off the internet so I can have another WiFi computer using the internet

    you do not take the lock itself.

    Instead, you configure another computer with security information to access the connection Wireless secure.

    Unfortunately, we cannot help you with this, because we cannot tell if you are the owner of the wireless connection or someone trying to hack it via another computer.

    However, what you can try is to contact technical support that provides your internet service.  they will be well to validate your identity and then provide help or more detailed instructions.

  • What should I do to protect my computer because I left the Microtech scam people look at my computer via the ammyn Viewer?

    A woman with an Indian accent called saying she was with Microsoft and I had not answered their many urgent emails on my virus in my computer and she called for help.  I can't believe I fell for this point but finally woke up and realized it sounded funny and hung to the top.  But I did not have to look at my computer via the website ammyn.  I do not buy anything.  I just ran the full check of Windows Security Essentials.  What should I do?

    It's a tough call.  For the most part, these scammers are simply interested to bill you for your non-existent problems and then sell you a costly "contract of service" rather than actually steal information on your part.

    On the other hand, let you someone have total control over your computer and even if you could probably see everything that was done, he could well be activity past in the background a copy of your files.  Usually, however, all they do is look at the event viewer where they can surprise highlighting the 'mistakes' and 'warnings' (which virtually every Windows computer displayed in the event viewer) and thus convince you to buy their services to 'fix '.

    At a minimum, I suggest to change all your name of user and password login information for whatever sites you visit, especially for banking sites or credit card.  If you are really interested and you keep financial information on your computer, you might want to act like your portfolio, including your credit card has been lost or stolen: contact your financial institutions and change your account information.

    IMO, it is unlikely that no matter what malware 'backdoor' or another was left in this event, but if you are concerned that, really, the only way is to be sure to do a complete "clean" installation of Windows.  For most people who have computers that were purchased with Windows pre-installed, this means (a) back up your personal files, (2) to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State by using some mechanism to do so provided by the manufacturer; (3) painstakingly updated day Windows to the current service pack and post-service pack updates; (4) reinstall any programs that were installed after that you bought the computer (using the original installation media) and then update these programs according to needs; and (5) restore your personal files.
