• "windows live support" scam

  I received a call from a tone of voice Indies declaring what he called a "windows live support" and that my computer has been hacked. "Red flashing lights here to demonstrate that your computer has been hacked." I was suspicious, but done what said the voice. I opened the event viewer that showed many caveats and warnings from computer work bad... some 15,000 of them spanning over 2 years. They wanted me to download a file, but I refused and said I want to remember them. There was a bit of drama involved in the incident. I did a search on google for "windows live support" which returned several hits as well as some phone numbers. I called an and the voice of the East Indies told me I just had been called and that he had spoken with 'Chrissy '. He also informed me that the 'service' to clean my computer will cost at least $249. I refused, hung up and did a search for "windows live support scam." The following link came ( http://darranboyd.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/windows-live-support-scam/ ) who wore a similar activity for the past two years of several regions of the world. It is very interesting reading. All this seems like a scam and I do not understand why Microsoft has apparently done nothing to that users aware of this problem and/or close this type of scam.

  Hello

  Believe me, we receive dozens of these reports on a daily basis.

  Go to the forum and search for following scam.

  This has happened for many years. The main problem with trying to stop these scams, it's that the authors know how to stay hidden in the countries where the application of the law may be missing.

• site scam takes control of windows solved yet?

  A virus has your browser opens a window and he claims microsoft has detected a virus on your system and you need to call some 800 to remove the virus.  The browser (Google or seamonkey) is froen only one you can't get rid of this window either.  You must close the browser and restart, but he can jump upmagain.  This has been raised in a post a few years ago...

  Responses have been dismal, but they seemed to think that it only occurred in the victory of 8 or 10 and it happened only when one installed onboard.

  I have the same problem today running win 7 and never used or installed on-board.  Scammers say that your credit card data are taken.

  The premise of microsoft followed our computers to inform us of infections is prepostorus and this window mpopup obviouls a scam.  As I said I have the problem today.  Microsoft has taken the trouble to deal with this problem?  Is anyone knmow how to stop it? It's yet another example of the failure of microsoft to produce decent softwar.  Everyone says that they do not like windows 10 yet MS forced us to change for her.  It really is time that the community in support of linux or variants thereof.

  But I digress.  The question remains: MS has been able to fix this within recent years virus attack?  How can I get rid of it or stop it.

  How can I get rid of it or stop it.

  It is generally not a virus but just an attempt to rip you off.

• Is that the compress/decompresss utility file supported by all types of window OS? or for some region the user install it?

  Hi all:

  Is the Compress/decompress utility file supported by all types of Windows OS (XP, VISTA, Windows 7)? or for some region the user install it?

  Any link from the website of Microsoft?

  I managed to get the guide from the Microsoft web site, but just a guide without a show of declaration of default installation during installation of the operating system.

  Window XP:

  Windows Vista:

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Compress and decompress are not a separate tool/utility to download and install in the computer. They have functions that come with these 3 operating systems. These features are available in Windows XP/Vista/7 from across operating systems.

  However, you can also use your favorite search engine for non-Microsoft applications to compress and extract files such as Winzip and Winrar.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  It will be useful.

• "Bluetooth is not supported by any version of windows servers... what exactly does that mean?

  I am trying to set up a bluetooth connection between my mobile (Nokia X 6) and the new Acer lap top of page that is running windows 7.  In the past, when using Vista and my Samsung phone it was easy through "control panel."  With this new Windows7 however, it does seem to be an option to set up bluetooth.  There is however "help" a section ' how to set up bluetooth or other wireless connections, which begins by saying that you can transfer information via bluetooth and other wireless means, he then goes on to describe these "other" methods wireless, adding a note that "Bluetooth is is not supported by any version of windows server.  The lap top itself has a long side button Wi - Fi bluetooth button, which don't "turn on" or turn on when I press on it.  I'm not very technical interest and just use the computer for my music and photo organizing and other simple functions.  Apologies if it sounds ridiculous, but I think I'm getting conflicting information, is always available for use with windows bluetooth 7, if so does that mean say "he is not supported by windows servers?  I just want to know if I forget something really obvious or if I should stop trying altogether with all bluetooth and focuss on other file transfer methods?  All the advice in plain language or pointing me in the right direction will be so appreciated, thank you very much Frances

  Turn off the laptop and look at the bottom of this one.  If it doesn't have Bluetooth installed, there will be a white sticker with BLUETOOTH printed on it.

  You don't have an edition of Windows Server.  Those who would be Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and a bit like Vista and Windows 7, they come in many varieties, Web, Standard, Enterprise, data and 32 and 64-bit editions.

  When you go into the Control Panel, you see an icon for Bluetooth?  Bluetooth does appear in Device Manager?

I really don't understand because all these programs and all the accessories that I ran fine until I upgraded to windows 8.

  I am running Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. Can someone help me out here?

  I thought about it.  I have two floppies installation for windows 7 and I thought I installed the right disk 64-bit but actually installed the 32-bit. So when I went to install the 64-bit drivers and nothing worked. Problem solved, however. I appreciate that you get you it right.

• Received a call from the scam making pretend to be Windows technician

  Original title: the license expires

  Received a call today by a technician from Windows indicating they received the error messages from my computer and that my IP address has been disconnected.  I bought my computer in 2004 and never received any notice.  He said that some of my programs may stop working if I did not renew the license.  My question is - is - it a legal representative of Windows or just someone trying to sell a product?

  (1) "licensing" do not expire.

  (2) no MS gets your computer error messages. In fact, they would have no way of knowing something about you.

  (3) it is not a representative of Windows. Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls.

  (4) it is a well known scam talked again and again in these forums.

  (5) they do not sell anything. They want access to your computer and your credit card. You know what's going to happen.

  It is FAKE and SCAM, Microsoft will NEVER call you unless you request them to do so. It was SCAM on people who claim to be from Microsoft and saying that your PC is infected and does not and we'll fix it, if you pay certain amount:

  Hello

  Who called who?

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  This information is for the unsolicited telephone calls from people claiming to be from Microsoft.

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.
