I received a call today a stone that identified himself as Windows Support calls. He informed me that my Windows program was in danger of crashing, and if I went on my computer immediately he could walk me through the steps to correct this situation. I refused, and he said he'll call again tomorrow. I also Norton Antivirus installed on my computer, and according to the latest analysis today, there is no serious problems. So, my question would be support personnel Tech Windows do actually contact customers or should I consider this a scam?
Thank you

This a complete scam and one that has become very common these days. . Don't think anything such a caller said, do nothing that he tells you to do and hang up on him immediately.
At let them into your computer? If you did you are at serious risk for what they could have done it (installed spyware? Steal the passwords?), and I highly recommend that you do the two following:
1 reinstall Windows properly
2. change all your passwords, especially those of the financial institutions and online stores.

Hello
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of

I often receive an email that contains more than 10 images (attachments) but when I get this message, I can't as a pop up comes up and tells me that I must remove some of the attachments that would destroy a part of the message. What should I do to correct this?
The images may be too large to send massively as they must be encoded to send by e-mail, and this coding can add as much as 40% of the size of the message. You can resize to fit the web by reducing their dots per inch to 96 (screen resolution) and then saving them as a compressed jpeg files. IrfanView (www.irfanview.com - free) will do this for you.
You can also try Message | To send as an attachment and see if it goes through.

original title: Flash Player
I have installed Adobe Flash Player on my PC (Vista), and every time I want the internet ((spécifiquement ferme ville,, sur facebook)) a box appears and tells me that there is a problem with an add-on that was installed called flash10c.ocx. How can I solve this problem? I tried everything I could think of. I deleted my cookies (and Add-ons), re-installed Adobe Flash Player and nothing works.
What browser are you using IE or Firefox or others? Sometimes special versions of Flash are required for browsers, and besides, IE 64-bit does not support modules including Flash, she, that is to say, it takes the 32-bit version, even on a 64-bit machine.
Take a look at IE / tools / manage add-ons and make sure that 'Shockwave Flash Object' is enabled.
Check that you downloaded the correct version in the first place.

For extreme cases:
This traditional antivirus analysis does not always detect. Because the Norton Power Eraser
uses aggressive methods to detect these threats, there is a risk that it can select some
legitimate programs for removal. You should use this tool very carefully and only after
you have exhausted other options.

I migrated my Macbook pro to an Imac Photoshop works very well, but CC says that there is a problem. It tells me to download CC but when I try to install it fails and tells me that I need CC?
Migration/transfer of Adobe applications does not work. You must install using installation files. Uninstall, and then use the CS cleanup tool. Then download/install the desktop application, connect and install applications subscription.

Im trying to publish a document that I create on Indesign, but when I push producer Folio he takes me to the Adobe web page and tells me that I don't have a folio. How can I fix?
Check if you have created a folio in offline mode (appears with the icon of the computer/processor) to Panel Builder Folio in InDesign?
Or folio is created under a different account in Panel Builder Folio.
If the Folio is Offline: connect on Folio Builder Panel using the producer identification information Folio, folio offline select and click Download. Now, you will get this folio in Folio Producer and would be available for the publication of too.
For more information, see https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/create-folios.html#folio_builder_pan el_overview
If you are connected to the Panel Builder Folio under a different account: share folio with desired edition account, after the folio appears below the post account. Now, either you can publish or create a copy (to control properly), and then publish the copied folio. Digital Publishing Suite help | Creation of folios

I was just on a genealogy site accessed via Firefox when a pop-up window appeared and informed me that I was using an out of the version of Firefox and I should click here to download a new one.
What is a real request or a scam any?
If you get a pop-up message asking to put plugins or Firefox updated or anti-malware analysis then this message probably is a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.
- Don't update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.
- Plugins should be updated only through the plugin itself, or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
Note that the current version of Firefox is Firefox 36.0.4, refer to help > topic
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 36.0.4 version in all languages and for all systems operating here: -
