Hello everyone,
Some time back I had experienced problems with Windows Update continually advising me the KB2538242 was ready to be installed. After a lot of hassle, I finally got help from Support staff technical Microsoft through 3 sessions of Assistance to solve the problem remotely.
At the end of the last session, there were several icons left on my desk. (A couple of the names associated with the icons are: desktop.ini & redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ MFC 2005). Some are .exe files and some are presented as folders.
My question: is there a way to HIDE these icons so that they will be displayed on the desktop, without actually delete files / folders / applications, icons are associated with?
(I'd forgotten there is no way to attach a screenshot (jpeg file) from my office, so everyone could see the icons I want to talk).
Thanks for your time and any clarification on this subject!

Hi cpsi1,
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft answers community.It is safe to delete the icons stored on computer support. -
I was contacted by phone by a person who identified themselves as being a Microsoft technician this afternoon. After asking how much of my family's computers, they told me that our system had been compromised and that they would help us fix. After walking me through obtaining of Event Viewer, they transferred me to another person who was the senior technician (or so they said). I asked where they were from my number identified the call came from a number of British Colombia (where I live) and the installation was based in New Jersey. Unfortunately, the infection from the system has been resolved, as the higher tech hung up before that.
FYI, there are two main offices in our House, one running XP and the other Vista. We have also 4 laptops, XP, (1) Vista (1) and Windows 7 (2).
Sorry for the length of both the threshold question and paragraphs here, but this is my first question. Thank you for your help in advance.Hello

Microsoft Technical Support phone scam
Hello, I recently received a call (about 5 minutes ago) from Microsoft. They claimed to be Microsoft technical support. They told me that my computer has sent a lot of warning and error messages to Microsoft. They said that messages and stuff said that my computer had downloaded malicious software malware and it could damage my system and internal hard drive. Then they told me that they did not answer me and now called for helping me solve this message. (I stopped to think about what they said because I had been having a lot of problems of slow boot and Windows taking almost 5 + minutes to start). So I played along for a while, but only for a minute. The first guy says let me connect to our senior technical specialist or something like that. Then I logged. The second guy says: "Hello my name is ___ Snyder (I remember only the family name)." They have given me in my observer of events and after I hung up with suspicion and Bishop/confidentiality. They tried to call me again, but I rejected the call. Please give me advice on this issue. I want to know if it's a scam to take over my computer and steal my identity, etc. or is it really Microsoft tries to help to fix my computer.
Some info on the "technical support guy":
Both were men. We had a strong accent from the Middle East while it had a slight accent Middle Easterners to it.
One of the men claimed to be the main _ (don't remember the average Word) specialist. It was called _ (don't remember the name), said Snyder.
Track of the location of the call. Approximate location is the New Hampshire, USA. This is as far as I know
Help, please! Also give suggestions on anything that might be necessary to change etc.Hello

How to check a company called Microsoft Support?
I keep getting phone calls from a company called support essential Microsoft technical support request. I paid for support over two years with a company, but I don't think it's the same company. In any case, the calling company says that they are part of Microsoft and they can update my security settings to keep hackers out of my network and keep someone who they say hacked into my network and sending offensive spam. It's for real? I live in the country and have no neighbors. How a person to hack my network? I have literally no neighbors within 2 miles.
Its a variant of this type of scam.

Strange phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft Support...
Did someone received phone calls of a contender unlisted number to the Technical Support team of Microsoft in what concerns the Elimination of malware and ask you to follow the steps to access your computer? I hung up on them because I didn't think it was legitimate.
Fake phone calls to technical support
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.

This afternoon, I received a phone call suspect of someone (very strong Indian accent) claiming that he was of pots in charge who had allegedly approved support for Windows Microsoft firmware. He knew the details of our name and contact information. He was trying to tell me that we downloaded unintentionally viruses on your computer and tell us how to solve this problem. The alarm sounded at the beginning, but my main concern,'s done it how this organization to take our details. I am a very careful person when it comes to my personal life. Out of curiosity (as I was convinced that appellant was based abroad), I asked where he was calling from... He claimed to Adelaide. When asked what part of Sdelaide, he said, the southern. I asked an address and all he could give me was St Johns. He said the phone wasn't (08) 70041212. If it were Adeéaid the number would have started with 8 not a 7. I have no intention of ever letting anyone to have remote access to any computer, and I noticed since at least that someone else had known the call of the scam. So, is this able to report, and how do I protect our coordinates so that these stupid people (saying that he well :-)) not wasting my time again.

Suppliers of Certified Technical Support Microsoft IT (CISCSUPPORT)
Can anyone give me information about a company called CISCSUPPORT, they called me a number of times indicating that they are the support providers for Microsoft IT. They asked me to open my event viewer and told me that the error and warning messages that I see create operational problems with my computer, and then asked me to go to my internet browser and enter the URLwww.ammyy.com and request remote access to my computer. They were very persistent, and they say that they represent Microsort and and you respond to error messages, I sent when I get the pop up from microsoft asking if I want to report errors that occur on my computer. They say that errors and warning are virus files that went into my computer when I downloaded the information and files from the internet. They are so persistent that even if I asked them do not hear that they seem to have me on the dial speed and every time I hung the phone that they phoned immediately until I stopped to answer and leave calls to voice mail until they dropped.

Read these tips from Microsoft:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/msName.aspx
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.

Spooky or what! Earlier, while I was in the middle of writing a message on the Microsoft forums, I received a phone call on my landline to someone who says they were Microsoft Windows, and that they were calling on my computer (words to that effect), then the person (male) asked if I was on my computer. I hung up at this point! It could have a real call because I asked questions of the community over the last few days - or was it just a scam? If it was a scam, then, how very weird that I would get the call while I was actually on the Microsoft Web site invite!
And, even more strange that, in the course of my writing of this message, I would get a second phone call, Microsoft widows (a number beginning 00190...) aledgedly the person (female this time) telling me that my computer sends error messages, wondering if I am the owner of the computer and I'm on my computer now?
Is this a coincidence? or something different going on here? This is all very scary!

Just tired of MS pretty much ignoring problems with ST. SO, I just wanted to say a few bodies in MS I think. But all I get are these automated forms that seem to go no the case. ST regularly went to the bottom of the Hill because I had my first in 2002. Each 'upgrade' seems to drag something I use and install several bells and whistles so that I have no use. It seems that no one at MS actually uses the program, except perhaps driving vocal instructions. Because a 'medium' for mapping would see the flaws. Here are a couple. 1. the idea of putting your speed compared to a average? These people never take math? If you don't have a number for the average, how can you possibly compare something for her... 2 total disregard of the many hours MS clients have spent building map files. Their "upgrades" cannot open maps version earlier, and of course, a society based on "PROGRAMMERS", cannot be bothered to review a program to jump to convert the old files. No, just * your money on our last drive of * and start again... SOMEHOW, SINCE MS HAS NO FORM BACK FOOD THAT I CAN FIND, THAT THERE IS. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE IN EARTH MS CARES...
