• Someone called me from macrosoft says support that my PC was crashing

  I was wondering I just got the phone is off was someone who said they work for Microsoft and they where going to fix errors on my PC. I told him remote access to show me the errors and viruses.  He also told me that my PC was crashing hard today. Then at the end he wanted $250 to solve these problems. I wonder if this is something that Microsoft has really or if the company/person was just trying to get my money back.

• Someone called me from the "World Wide Web" informing me that I had "a Trojan horse".

  Someone said that they were in the 'World Wide Web', recently called saying me that I have a Trojan horse installed on my Windows 7 laptop and they will be "blocks my ip address" to stop the Trojan horse to spread. He said they have my 'saved' details and he says randomly a license number, but it could not determine which edition, I had (I have home premium and professional). So immediately, I knew it was a scam and hung up.

  He then called again. There, with a strong Indian accent told me to go to MSCONFIG and said that services will slowly turn into a "stopped" if I continue. Then he told me to go to Task Manager and find CSRSS.exe (I knew it was a critical program) and I asked him more about "World Wide Web". He said that I could not re - install windows in 3 months and it could 'block my ip address' in 24 hours. So, I'm hung up once more.

  I do not give away details.

  I have Kaspersky Internet Security installed 2013 and it runs scans daily, but no malicious objects (such as virus or trojan programs) were detected.

  I would like to know if some services must be under 'arrested' on MSCONFIG and more info on "CSRSS.exe".

  Thank you

  Look out! It's a scam, those rotten bastards you to give them control of your PC, then try to sell you anti-virus software for your bank or credit card, they'll even install it without uninstalling your existing anti virus, not a good thing. They persist and if you fall for it and compensation they will ring in a few months and say you've scammed we will reply your money for a fee, give us your credit card details.

  They scammed a few pension I know who have had to cancel credit cards after losing money.

  When they ring back their request for a number to call them back on and see if you get a report that he's cheating if you have it, most places have a Government regulator.

• Why am I receiving calls supposely microsoft customer service about my computer being hacked?

  When I get a call the guy on the phone told me that he works for Microsoft and it want let me know they get reports from my computer. The issue is on my pc was hacked. The guy offers to "help me". Of course I do not provide information ask him or give him remote access to my pc.  Why I get this call so often. This is something that Microsoft made normally? I need some answers. Thank you.

  Calls are outside the jurisdiction of the country in which the calls are placed. This is why they do not stop.

  Microsoft has no idea who is running Windows and who is not and certainly can't tell if your computer is infected with malware.

  What you receive is scam calls from abroad callers get your name and phone number from telephone directories online and then call in the hope that there will be a gullible Windows user at the other end.

  Please let your friends, family, work Associates abreast of what is happening and why it cannot be stopped...

• Question about Dell OEM: SLP Windows 7 Installation disk domestic; can it be installed and activated on other computers from Dell?

  I bought a Dell installation disk and I want to use it to install a better version of Windows on my Dell PC. I have windows Vista and I want to use it to update my OS Windows7 Home Premium. However, the license type is SLP:OEM and no detail... not sure what SLP: OEM means... I thought that the OS discs are the same. Someone told me no retail editions are not suitable for a new OS, but I'm confused. The disc says, Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, but didn't holograms who have all MS OS disks and the disk is labeled for use with a Dell system only, if the means it will work very well on my Dell PC? The label does not which brand or model this disc is for, but said only for the Dell PC which is my PC. I'm assuming, the disk won't work on all Dells, maybe someone can offer suggestions, any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

  I have a few other questions about Windows 7, can I ask you about this on your Web site? Do not know how to contact you on your website. I can see other people responding to your articles, but that's all. I thought that maybe their might be a forum to post a question... Thank you for everything.

  You can comment on my site but comments will be public and it is easier to answer questions in the forums.

  If you want to be more precise, you can post in the Dell Community Forums. :

• Today I received a phone call from 'Human IT Solutions'. The operator said that I had reported an error and asked me to log in

  Original title: ERROR REPORT FIX - HUMAN IT SOLUTIONS.

  Today I received a phone call from 'Human IT Solutions'.  The operator said that I had reported an error and asked me to log in and follow his instructions, as it was a very simple matter to deal with.  I typed in the flag of MS, "rt" track: this opened the window "run" in which I typed in 'eventvwr' followed by 'OK '.  This opened "Event Viewer".  At this point I told him I was not willing to go far and he didn't send me the "fix."  He said that his company had no authorization to send emails and our conversation ended.  I tried to inform Microsoft, but of course all their facilities help for XP are now US only and I couldn't find any way to inform them (I think they should know, and anyway, if it is a genuine appeal, it might be good to have).  Anyone got any ideas on the question of whether I have done the right thing or how to say MS?

  ADF, I received today a similar appeal.  When I questioned his information on the company, he was very defensive and said "I have no cold calling, I'm in East London" I asked him to give me the name of the software MS causing errors, during which he compiled a long list of file extensions and avoided the question.  When I asked her name and phone number so I can get my husband to call him back, he began to read a number on phone, but the figures '0-1', the line was cut off.

  I'm sure you made the right choice in putting an end to the conversation of what I lived today.  I have no idea how you would report to Microsoft, but wanted a response to you here to support your actions!

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

• I have two iPhones when someone calls me bought his

  I have 2 iPhones an iPhone 5 and my father have an iphone 6.

  When someone call me it sounds at the same time in purchased cell phones.

  This problem started when I bought a 5th generation iPod.

  Hi Teban19,

  I understand that you have a problem with a phone call going to multiple iPhones. Let's take a look at this as possible, it could be.

  The first thing that comes to mind is if you and your dad use the same Apple ID for things like FaceTime and iMessage. If this is the case, there is a continuity of calling features. This feature allows a phone call go to all your devices when you are connected. Take a look at the information below to see if this is the case.

  iPhone cell calls

  

  With continuity, you can make and receive calls from cellphone to your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi - Fi network.

  Your carrier can support Wi-Fi calling on other devices. If so, you can configure your Mac and other iOS devices to make and receive calls even if your iPhone is not on or nearby.

  Configure iPhone cellular calls

  • You need to iOS 8 or later version on your device iOS and OS X Yosemite or later version on your Mac.
  • Check that you are connected to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
  • Use the same Wi - Fi network on all of your devices.
  • Login to FaceTime with the same Apple ID on all your devices. This means that no matter what device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. If you do not want to receive calls on your other devices, know what to do.

  Make a call or answer a call

  • To make a phone call on your Mac, find a contact phone number in Contacts, calendar, or Safari. Hover over the number, and then click the phone icon that appears to the right of the number.
  • To make a phone call on your iPad or iPod touch, tap or click a phone number, Contacts, calendar, or Safari.
  • On your iPad or iPod touch, you can drag to answer a phone call. On your Mac, a notification is displayed when someone calls your iPhone. Then you can answer the call, send it to your voicemail or transfer the caller a message, directly from your Mac.

  Disable iPhone cellular calls

  To turn off cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, iPhone go to settings > FaceTime and turn off the iPhone cellular calls.

  On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click settings, and clear the cellular calls to iPhone.

  Continuity of use to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac

• I get phone calls - (516) 673-0633-someone who claims to work for Microsoft by asking me to turn on my computer and other issues.

  A man called my cell phone once a month in what appears to be a scam.

  This person wants me to turn on the computer or to ask me if I'm on the computer.
  This person claims to be working for Microsoft.
  Usually I say that is I don't have a computer or that I have 10 computers, and I don't have time to do what he wants.
  This person warms me that my computer is in danger and that I need to act now by following the instructions of his phone.
  Usually he hangs up the phone once I tell him to call later.
  The phone number indicated in my identity from the last call, he did today 23 Aug 2012 @ 13:00 Pacific time is: 516-673-0633
  I think Microsoft should be very interested in protecting its reputation and its customers to discover why this person called in what seems to me randomly.
  ask Microsoft behalft.
  Thank you.

  It is a total scam! Do a search on these forums and you will find a LOT of references. Never leave in your computer.

  Better is to restore the JSON backup in the Bookmarks Manager.

  You can save current bookmarks to an HTML file and import this backup after you restore the backup JSON as who will replace all current bookmarks.
  It is possible to unpack the JSON backup, but you'd still have to restore that backup to get the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.
