These calls are genuine? I don't think so

I've got several phone calls from people saying train it microsoft windows technical service, indicating that I have a problem with my microsoft windows. I have not requested a call back number, I did - no line wrong answer? is it really microsoft calling me?

Dee

No, Microsoft will never do that. It's a scam. Never give these people access to your computer, don't give them information such as passwords.

She gave me a number 0870 8753141 who do not get an answer. She called back twice.  Should I trust it?

    (such persons may use names other than Microsoft as well)

    If you gave them access to your remote PC or any software installed, then you should consider the security of your PC to be seriously compromised. Passwords, coordinated banking, etc. can be in the pssession. Consider making a clean Windows and tell your bank, installation etc., depending on the case. Change passwords by using a separate PC until yours is clean.

    recently purchased Acrobat Pro for Mac, but who also want to put it on a PC. There are several places so I can do this and I can use it on both Mac and PC? I don't think I can ask my boss to spend another $485 so I may have to go with another drive, if I can't use it on multiple systems.

    A version bought the current version (Acrobat DC Pro) can be exchanged, so you should be able to run on Windows or Mac. But never both. You can then run it on two machines for your own personal use (do not share).

    A subscription version can be installed on two computers. Windows or Mac. For a person.

    More complex arrangements are pointing to a need for volume licenses.

  • Do you think that these indices are performance-based?

    It depends on the type of your request.
    If the application is OLTP, I think that these indices are not good performance because these indices are not pre-fixed clues. Indices non prefixed are not suitable for OLTP.
    If your application is DSS, these indices are appropriate.

  • Phone call telling me that they come from Windows and it is on my computer - make these calls?

    I see others have similar appeals - so, what is the answer to these other positions?

    Hello - what someone has an answer yet?

    First of all, note that when you ask "do * you * make these calls?" you apparently think you are addressing here Microsoft.

    You are not. It is a forum for peer support. We just are all users of this version of Windows here, help each other if and when we can. We are not Microsoft employees (not even those of us with 'Microsoft MVP"behind our names; it is an honorary title for having provided useful advice) with the exception of an occasional Microsoft contractor or an employee.

    Second, the call was

    a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common these days. See http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/08/virus-scams-social-engineering-victims.html
    and http://www.howtogeek.com/180514/the-%e2%80%9ctech-support%e2%80%9d-scammers-called-htg-so-we-had-fun-with-them/

    In addition to their money get on your part for the inaction of any value, if you let them into your computer, who knows what they were doing here or what confidential information, they stole.

    So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following immediately:


    1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

    2. * after * reinstallation of Windows, change all your passwords, especially all of banks or other financial sites.
    Since they * could * have installed a recorder of strikes, simply changing your passwords without first reinstalling Windows may not be good enough.
  • Outgoing calls are limited by a FDN

    All,

    Since today morning I am not able to make calls outgoing/incoming calls receive. It gives a message "outgoing calls are limited by the FDN. I checked under the call settings, it displays the NDR is disabled... I don't know wht happened... any help on this...

    Knani.

    Can you tell me who this phone was purchased? Operators in India have begun using the GSM database for security reasons. Your phone does not work with most networks in India because

    1. your IMEI number is not a commercial IMEI (this means that the phone was not purchased from TMO)

    OR

    2. your phone has been reported, lost, stolen or defective

    If you think that your phone has an IMEI commercial and/or has not been reported stolen, lost or defective, you can try your luck with your provider network in India to see if they can get your IMEI added to the database of GSM.

    Vodaphone, it appears is currently not using the basic GSM data to check the IMEI and it will be just a matter of time before you do that because that would be charged by the Government for security reasons. Hope that answers your question.

    BTW, the error message on FDN that you see is a bug with the mapping of the error incorrect. The real reason is, your phone is denied registration with the network because the IMEI number is not authentication.

  • How the hell can you stop these calls?

    We have been plagued by these calls for months, we can't make them stop. The caller display shows not available or international. At present, we receive calls from 3 or 4 per day. He has, in fact, worsened by telling them that we know that it is a scam, leaving the phone off the hook does not work or not speaking to tell them that it is a scam or not. any ideas please?

    I just read an article about it today. If you are not yet on the "Do not call list" and you reside in the United States, know about it.

    If they are the Robo calls. Simply do not answer when you pick up will get them to stop. If I don't recognize the number, I pick up. If you do not pick up and they choose a number option (as support on 'on' to delete your number), off the phone. If you answer that they know that it is a viable number and they'll keep the appellant.

    On live calls, I used a whistle and even shouted. Some times it works. Most of the time it isn't. Get info and call to gripe to the Governor if you are on the list. They get a fine for each infringement.

    The other network could be a problem after you connect, but I don't think it's your problem of controller. Try the date and time fix first. I would like to know how that works. I think that your 43 option does not work well. Use option 43 with the IP address of the controller. Also, make sure all the ports on your switches are shared resources for the appropriate VLAN. The answer with the 1131 lies in your network or the controller, but seems to be your Option 43. I would like to start a TAC call on it if you have. They should have executed several LWAPP debugs. I'm betting your dns or IP address of the controller input is not correct. Look at your dns server and see which resolves the name of the controller. If you resolve the AP Manager interface and not the interface of management that would be the problem.

  • I think to buy a new MacBook to replace my MacBook pro mid-2010, which still runs but becomes slow.  They say the current MacBook pro without retina display (which I don't think I need) is an old system and may be obsolete soon - true?

    I'm buying a new MacBook to replace my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 4 GB of memory, which always runs, but becomes slow.   I don't think I need retina display (if I have a lot of photos and films on the subject), but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?

    Barbara cfrompa says:

    but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?

    Apple only can answer such a question, and the terms of use for these forums discourage us discuss what Apple plans to do.

    I too have a MBP 2010.  I installed an SSD and that increased performance.  Consider that as an option.

    You may experience other problems that slows down your MBP.  Before commit you the important cash for a new MBP, examine the potential software problems that may be responsible for the poor performance.  With the SSD, my 2010 works better than the day he came out of the box.

  • My Skype to Skype calls are appearing on my iPhone call list

  • The new Google tab page has disappered and my custom buttons disappeared, although according to Google options, these features are enabled.

    Everything worked well in Mozilla when I finally used my computer. Today, when I opened my browser, it did not, and I kept getting a message from shutdown script. The script error is apparently related to the Extentions Mozila handler, if this information is useful. When he did load the page new Google tab and my ad added buttons missing, although according to the menu options in the toolbar, these features are enabled. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the toolbar and checked to make sure I have the latest version of Firefox. Is it possible to fix this? Is there something I could have done to make?

    Just to clarify, your browser is Mozilla Firefox (Firefox for short), not the Suite Mozilla (Mozilla for short). You are using the latest version, which is good.

    As for your question, it is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and themes and this one for plugins.

    If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please be afraid not to follow my instructions to the line, as everything can be easily undone.
