  Original title: hoax call?

  I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer. They know this, because I have generated error reports. When I asked how I could be sure who they were they led me to a screen with a ref to no error report. and he cites correctly for me. When I was asked to sign up for control of my computer for them to correct these errors, I refused and hung up. What happens with all those errors that we report to microsoft when our computers generate the error reports and how these appellants knew my error report reference.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, donot give access to your PC, not give them all the money and donot go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Error reports contain no personally identifiable information. These people are hoping that your system recently sent to Microsoft to make their call seems more legitimate.

• After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

  Hello

  After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

  May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

  Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

  Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

  Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

  Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

  Thank you

• I received 3 phone calls informing me that Windows Defender is hurting my computer and they will refund my money.

  * Original title: Windows Defender

  I received 3 phone calls informing me that Windows Defender is hurting my computer and they will refund my money. He also wants me to turn on my computer... I put him up until I can get the information... is it a hoax?  Thanks for any help...

  Hello

  Windows Defender is the antivirus integrated in Windows 8/8.1/10 and do NOT harm your computer.

  It protects your computer.

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

  Here's the advice I give on this type of phone calls:

  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.

• I have problems with the links and footer

  I have problems with hypertext links (they sparkle and also highlight other text on the page) and also the footer space for always lights in site preview mode, even though I did little master and home page and the following pages.  This happened only after I loaded a file of MUSE in the current version of Muse CC put running up-to-date on the imported file to Muse.  Please help me Adobe Community.

  Once you have opened the file 2014.3 muse you will not be able to open it in a previous version anyway. In order to keep the updated version.

  In this version, Yes, Muse will run an optimization when you open a site. My suggestion is that optimization is made to save the file, so it doesn't have to do it again. I am convinced that a full download should solve your problem. I had a few sites that I need to do a full download myself and all is well.
