Suspected scam - difficulty in the management of the system

Similar Questions

• Hi, not really a new Member, but I'm having difficulty with the system recovery.

  I have an Acer Aspire 7741Z, I know he's older. It has windows 7 Home premium on it. I guess the hard drive went bad because I replaced it and it seemed to work. I put the system recovery discs that I bought at Acer last week and it rises to display disk copy files and looks like it loads the images file. But then it stops and gives me an error message that says "do not copy the file to the HARD drive. File G:\Images\WOP000400OENSC121103. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT.  I'm not worried about record data at this stage, just try to get the computer to work.  I don't know if I was sent a 'bad' disc or what.  Any suggestion would be great.

  Good for you! I suppose that insufficient disk space might also explain why the installation stopped at the same place.

  Try typing F2 when you first see the Acer bios screen to get back into the bios menu. Make sure your new hard drive is first in the boot order. F10 to exit and save the settings.

• Think of a scam, I called the company - am I at risk?

  My mother was using his iPad and got a pop-up in Safari on the iPad with a virus or something else and to dial a number to get it repaired. The site was called ios-security-alarm.

  Once she was on the phone with them, they asked his serial number on his iPad. She gave them that. They said that it was probably a problem with her laptop and wanted to remotely access that. At this time, she got the suspect and got off the phone.

  Two questions.

  Is it possible that your iPad (or a home network) is really in danger and that's why she who becomes pop up?

  and

  She is threatened to be hacked or have compromised information giving them the serial number of his iPad. It was the only information she provided them.

  If it is to any risk, that she must do to protect themselves?

  > At this time, she got suspicious and got off the phone.

  If it did not allow access to his laptop computer. That's great.

  > Is it possible that your iPad (or a home network) is really in danger and that's why she who becomes pop up?

  N ° she dodged an attempt to scam. Don't question even the legitimacy of the pop up warning. IT IS A SCAM! Period.

  > Is in danger at all to be hacked or have compromised information giving them the serial number of his iPad. It was the only information she provided them.

  N °

  > If it is to any risk, that she must do to protect themselves?

  While browsing the internet... If there is a scary warning, NEVER call the number. Contact Apple directly or ask someone who understands technology. Check iPad Settings - Safari - history and website data clear your MOM. That will clear the cache of Safari script.

• 3110em: HP recovery partition exists, but the recovery of the system in the grayed out Recovery Manager?

  I have a hp recovery partition on my laptop, and I want to recover my PC.

  I go into the Recovery Manager, windows system restore is available, but the HP system recovery is grayed out and unavailable.

  I don't know what to do, is partition recovery for windows 7, but since I upgraded to Win8.1, I had a lot of problems, and I want to go back.

  Please help me if you can.

  The system recovery option means that it seems to be corruption or another problem with the score of recoveryt.

  As is the case, then you would use the recovery (USB or a game disc) media, you have already created to perform the recovery.

  If you have not created a recovery media, you will need to order a recovery USB stick (preferably) or a record of recovering HP or HP partner. The cost is usually about $30,00 USD

• RESOLVED: The Task Manager icon in the system tray

  I always keep my task manager running as an icon in the system tray.  After an update of software that seems to be an update of Windows XP or IE7, I can minimize is no longer my status bar task manager system; the icon is no longer present.  I have not changed the settings view in the Task Manager bar; they are all checked.  Now, I have to keep the Task Manager minimized in the taskbar instead.  [None of the taskbar settings were changed to icons in the system tray as I downloaded the SP3 for XP over 3 years ago.]  Could it have been caused by the update or y at - it a way to get the Task Manager to reduce in the tray system again?  Thank you.

  I tried all types of features troubleshooting before coming here, including a full analysis of the antiviral software from my system & checking event viewer.  I even went in the registry to see if something happened to the system tray.  BUT... The action to be performed by the most obvious and which should have been the first, I failed to do - restart.  Due to an another software update of my antiviral package yesterday, 22/02/2012, I needed to restart.  After the reboot, the Task Manager icon returns to the system tray and minimization has not caused to disappear.

  The only thing I can conclude is that something has gone wrong during the update of the software of MS Windows and installation of KB2660456, KB2647516-IE7, & KB2661637.  It was the only thing that happens so that I was with MS Paint, no browser was opened or other software packages on except what is necessary to update the files over an internet connection.  To take a hit to what it was exactly would be silly because any number of operations might have bothered with or temporarily created a small problem with the properties of the view Task Manager.

  So I chalk it up to did not not the most basic 'Fixer glitch", reboot, in my haste to find a culprit.  I hope that my blunder will remind others not not forget to start with the basics for sudden failures troubleshooting.  Thank you for your time and your advice.

  [I'm sorry; [I broke each problem statement rule with this post by do not detail what I've done, this system that I have, and what software I use and their versions.]

• Try to activate Vista's problem reports, but get the message "Windows incident reports are disabled." and some settings are managed by your system administrator

  Original title: trying to activate the Vist problem reports, but get message "Windows problem reports are disabled."

  "Windows problem report is disabled." I can't activate the problem reports and Solutions on my Windows Vista computer.  When I click on "Change settings", I would be prompted with the following message if poster "some settings are managed by your system administrator."  It's personal PC at home.  I don't know how to activate it.  I already went to political group & register to adjust some settings.  But still unable to activate this.

  All settings are disabled as this.

  This problem only recently.

  Method 1

  System Restore does not work.

  Method 2

  Disable the antivirus software does not work.

  But after some research, I realized that the problem could be due to a recent installation of a PC anti-frustration software called Soluto (the star was "Activate Crash Handler Soluto").  It worked after that.  After uninstalling, I rebooted the PC system.  After the reboot, I checked the reports on the problems and Solutions and found I could now adjust advanced settings.  I have also reinstalled the software, Soluto and ensured that this time, "activate Crash Handler Soluto" not was not checked (i.e. enabled).

• Hard drive partitioned using its missing data after restarting the system, sharing and management of the computer

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite with Vista and since my laptop came with only a single 250 GB, i.e. C:\ partition I tried to partition more than I did the following, I had about 90 GB of data to start with which I transferred to a portable hard drive then:

  Panel--> Admin Tools--> computer management--> management disk storage--> right click C:\ Drive and reduce volume--> it showed only 50 GB of space heat shrink and I created a new volume with this space (F:\ 50 GB)--> transferred all the files to the new 50 GB portable HD space F:\ and remaining 40 GB on the drive C:\

  When I started my computer after a few hours, the new partition F:\ was missing! In addition, there was only the C:\ drive of origin with 40 GB data that I had transferred + 45 GB of data I think it was there previously because the installed files.

  C:\ was so now 40 + 45 = 85 GB without a trace of the 50 GB of data on the new partition I created!

  I had recovered my system to a day before before I did it, it could be the reason? Now, when I try to go to System Recovery it does me not an option for a restoration of watch system.

  To be sure, I now have a backup of the 40 GB of data from the C: drive, but I lost the data of 50 GB of the new partition, and since I have not written new data on the drive is possible that it's still there?

  When I try to search for some files I know research shows me the name of the file, but the file does not open, and the location of the file shows that it is not accessible.

  Kindly advise me on what can be done given that 50 GB of data is really important.

  Thank you

  Go to disk management and open it in full screen and then press the PrtScr button.  Go to start / all programs / Accessories / Paint and open the program.  Go to Edition and click on paste.  Then go to file and click on save as and select a .jpg file type and call the disk management and save it to your desktop.

  Then go to http://skydrive.live.com/ (you will have to perhaps sign up and maybe download some programs, but this will give you a free online place where you can store files for others.  Once the page to the top, click on add files and navigate to the file you just save it on your desktop and add it to one of the folders (I suggest the Public folder).  Once it clicked, and information about it will appear at the bottom right, including where exactly the file.  Copy this URL and include it in your next post.  I would like to see what looks like disk management without asking a thousand questions to describe everythhing for me.

  If you did a restore of the system already on the previous day, there is probably no new restore points created since then, so there is no option to do a system restore.  In addition, a system restore would not solve this problem - this is way beyond its capabiliities.

  Download the free EASUS Partition Manager: http://www.partition-tool.com/ and run it to scan your drive and see if it finds anything Disk Manager can not - it "s possible he can pick up our lost F:\ partition or unidentified space which could be this partition but not correctly identified.  In a same, t I would like to see if it detects anything useful (and it can also be useful the fixing of the problem if we can find it).  Moreover, the total space of the C:\ drive is now is what it was before you have shrunk or it it showing the size reduction that you can expect if the new volume had actually been created?  Let me know what you find if anything.

  Right-click on your CD-ROM drive, and then click on change drive letter and paths.  Click on edit and then right click on the drop box for the available letters.  F shows as available or is missing in the list?  Leave it (don't change anything in reality - I just wanted to see if F has shown as available since if it was assigned (such as C: is assigned) should not be shown at the top on the list.)  I would like to know if he was there.

  I hope this helps or at least gives us some clues on how to solve the problem (whatever it is).   Keep me informed.

  Good luck!

• Drive CD/DVD not visible in BIOS, Device Manager or Windows Explorer - only during the analysis of the system.

  Until a few days ago, this problem didn't exist - I know.  My CD/DVD drive is no longer recognized in Windows Explorer, BIOS or Device Manager.  It doesn't, however, appears briefly in Windows Explorer in the analysis of the security of the computer.  It allows to open/close, etc.  and when it is visible, I am able to open the drive and see the contents of the CD.  Then it disappears again.  The light flashes indicating that he works and I can hear it trying to read the CD.  I uninstalled iTunes because I read somewhere that this may have been the issue - but that didn't work.  I tried the system restore, registry cleaners, removal of upper/lower case filters from the registry, used the program Fixit found on the site Web of Microsofts etc and still no luck.  Any ideas?  The computer is a gateway SX2850 (?) with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.

• "The system cannot find the specified file" error when you try to install a hotfix/cab package using the DISM tool Package Manager

  I'm testing the integrity of the addon ".cab" packages and patches by installing using the Package Manager (pkgmgr.exe), or alternatively, the Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool (DISM.exe) for Windows 7.  To do this, I am aware that I have to call a tool through the command line.

  In the Package Manager, I use the syntax

  Command prompt > pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:C:\Test\test.cab

  Otherwise, I might add the path in quotes:

  "Command prompt > pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:"C:\Test\test.cab.

  The error returned in pkgmgr is:

  Operation failed with 0 x 80070002.  The system cannot find the specified file.

  My first impression was that my syntax is incorrect, although I can't have room for error.  The path points to "test.cab" which is a renamed windows addon that contains the necessary file "svcpack" and the file "entries_XX.ini".  I used several different ".cab" file, that which some I know to be genuine, hopefully exclude the possibility of a corrupted or incompatible file.  I also tried this procedure on different computers and received the same error code, so I doubt that the tool pkgmgr istelf is corrupt.

  Finally, I tried an alternative Windows 7/8 DISM tool to try to achieve essentially the same task by using the following syntax in a command prompt:

  "Commnand prompt > DISM.exe / Online /PackagePath:"C:\Test\test.cab Add-Package ".

  This produces a similar error:

  An error occurred trying to open it - C:\Test\test.cab error: 0 x 80070002
  Error: 2
  The system cannot find the specified file.
  The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

  I'm really not sure why I produce these errors.  Any idea is appreciated.

• Received Windows scam call, is the computer at risk?

  My sister received a call from the scam that claims to be from Microsoft, and that his computer is in danger of being hacked etc. They told him to run a program called "Windows Event Viewer" which was done, and he showed a long list of errors. As it is, she said, she had to undergo, and they said they'd call back. She then rang me and I checked the forums and could see that it is a very common scam. They have no go as far as giving a Web site address to go on, there was talk about payment.  My question is, is there a risk that running this program compromised his security somehow?

  * original title - Windows scam call *.

  The Windows Event Viewer is a tool that was included in Windows almost since its inception. It allows you to examine a large number of events in the system and operating system files. Most's opinions, some are warnings, some are errors. While your installation works the way you expect, you can ignore the errors.

  Launch the event viewer does not change anything in Windows.
