There's a scam of telemarketing targeting the user windows in New Zealand at the moment.
The scam goes like this:
The scammer calls the person (and I guess by the time difference and the thick accent Middle East they call from somewhere near the India) and claims to be a representative of microsoft. They then say that your computer has a virus very serious, and they need access to your computer and fix it. Then, they will guide you to the remote assistance tool and take manual control there. Thanks to this they access bank accounts and steal the money.
I know at least two people who have fallen for her, which was my 86 year old grandfather. They have also tried to bring my 9 year-old brother to do so. These people would and do steal pensioners and children. I get a call at least two every three days. So far, the only thing I could do to them is put them on hold for 3 hours while I "tried to turn on my computer. They pointed out several times to the police and the agencies, antiscam in New Zealand, but it doesn't seem to do anything... What I'm asking is that there is nothing I can do about it? Anywhere I can report to MS?
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.
Microsoft is aware of such scams. Your best defense is to know - tell your friends and your family.

Is there a slot m2 of ssd in HP Pavilion 15-ak112nl Gaming?
Thank you
The manual indicates a:
See p. 45. But we have reports that if you open the laptop, there is indeed no crack m2 and also in some cases that the m2 port, if there is one, is disabled. At the moment I can't in good conscience advise anyone to try the upgrade. If you are an experienced technician and just lucky to have a disk of 2280 m2 WSSD sitting around, it might be an interesting exercise, but I wouldn't have someone to invest in such propulsion for this laptop model right now. Your best bet is a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

Scam: there's a scam email autour, supposed to come from a "Windows Live Account"
I wanted to just warn you that there is a scam email autour, supposed to come from a "Windows Live Account" saying that your about to be closed if you do not provide account details [name of user, password, date of birth, etc.] so that your account can be "improved." The email is poorly written [bad grammar, etc.], but lists the corporate name of Microsoft and the address at the bottom.
[Is there no way to get to Windows/Microsoft to report on things without having to go through the Forum?]

target the properties of the mouse event: ROLL_OVER, MOUSE: DOWN
Hi - I'm targeting the States of the button IE: ROLL_OVER is interpolated a bit bigger.
So I want to go back to its original size.
BUT it is not recognizing the start and reverse methods.
Scene 1, Layer "layer 2", 1 environment, Line 60 1061: call to a method maybe not defined in advance through a reference with static type gs:TweenLite.»
button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverHandler, false, 0, true);
button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler, false, 0, true);
button.addEventListener (Event.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOutHandler, false, 0, true);var myTween:TweenLite = new TweenLite(button,1,{scaleX:1.05,scaleY:1.05,onComplete:myReverseFunction});)
function rollOverHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
TweenLite.to (button, 1, {scaleX:1.05, scaleY: 1.05, ease:Elastic.easeOut});})
myTween.start ();
}
function myReverseFunction (): void
{
myTween.reverse ();
}
There is no such method 'start' to TweenLite, because it starts immediately. If you want to reverse the Tween when it has finished the easiest is to use "yoyo" in TweenMax. (Although you can use onComplete so if you want to).

With the help of &; quot; target &; quot; to open a new window
I have a question about the opening of a new window. There are a few times when I want to open a new browser window and in the past, I used equal to _blank target.

As above.
(1) If a Cache shows "zero-byte" in the list of information, safely remove it?
(2) in addition, safely remove it ESPECIALLY if it says "Apple" in the name?
(3) and, if "there is no set application to open the document...". "etc, can I safely delete that also?
I will soon migrate to another mac and see no need to take things with what I don't need. I won't delete the above, if I need. As long as they do not have a hidden need to exist, so I don't have need of them.
To be honest, when I click on read the information, I see nothing that I understand anyway.
For 1 and 2 OK to delete it.
What do you mean for #3? Is this a real file? A zero-byte file?
What are the names of files?

Send no button when composing an email
When the Send button changes to send later, he indicates that Thunderbird is in offline mode.
It is taken offline for several reasons. You said that he or she has detected a loss of network connection. Happens frequently on a laptop because the NICs tend to shut down when the laptop goes to sleep.
There is an indicator online / offline in the lower left corner of the window of Thunderbird. It looks like 2 computer screens. When there is a red cross on Thunderbird is in offline mode.
You can click on this icon to change state. I suggest you do this next time instead of blindly clicking on buttons that you don't remember.The Send button is the Composition toolbar in the window of writing.
Open a window of writing.
If you've managed to disable the also menu bar press the alt key to bring up.
The menu bar, select View-Toolbars and relight the toolbars. -
