We received a phone call saying that Microsoft could not send us updates. Is this a legitimate call and you can do the updates direcetly online?
We received several calls saying updates could not be performed on our computer. We were warned that the computer may crash. They asked us to turn on our computer and they would try to make updates in this way. I have a question the legitimacy of the request and how they got to our phone number. Please respond by email and tell me it is OK. In addition, the appellant also had a strong accent, it was very difficult to even understand. Thank you for your response.

This is supposed to be a thing where if you buy a new computer, you can switch to Windows 8 when it comes out for $14.99. When I try to go on the site, I get a popup saying that Firefox crashes due to a certificate problem. Is this a secure site? Here is the site showing the ad. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Home. The ad reads "Windows 8 for $14.99. I don't understand why I can't access the site. I just bought a new computer (not the one I'm using now) from Best Buy and it should benefit from this. Can someone explain?

I received a phone call from a fellow of the center of Windows Service in Ontario
original title: Windows repair center
I received a phone call from a classmate of the Service Windows in Ontario reports saying they received a lot of error in my computer and he was going in wrong places. I had no idea. His name was Nelson Jones, and he was actually control my computer. That interested me. Also, he wanted me to register with Windows Server so that they could help solve my computer issues, at a cost, of course, I expect if it is not a scam. Is there a way that can be verified. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
It is a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.
Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).
It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.
Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.
Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site!

I want to uninstall this program but it says that it could not be removed because of the error, it is the program (/ Applications/exPressit H.E. 2.1/UninstallerData/Uninstall exPressit H.E. 2.1.app)
Hello
What is the exact error you receive everything trying to uninstall this program?
Try to Uninstall the program in a clean boot state.
From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

Windows does not remember the setting.
When I try to connect to the net on my laptop LG I often get the message saying that windows could not connect and I have to go into the advanced settings and check the box that says allow windows to configure the network. My problem is that windows doesn't remember this setting and that I need to check the box almost everytime I try to connect. He made it with my desktop so I was wondering if anyone has a solution for this.Using a wireless router? What is the brand and model of your router? I don't think it's a matter of windows.

Hi all. I am new and on a free trial right now.
How can I manage the preferences that LR do not take up space on my MAC hard drive and works only on the external hard drive?
Monthly payment included cloud storage?
Peut I manage backups? And how?
-Amir
Hi amireos,
Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.
If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.
If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.
Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.
Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)
Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.
See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive
Let us know if it helps.
Kind regards

Received phone call from a man named Thomson. He said he was with Windows in the United States and Florida. Was given the phone number of 315-506-4544. Asking for help with problems with my computer detected by Windows. He said that I was risking my computer and overwriting of files. Very difficult to understand. He asked I right click on my computer and highlight all the files with any questions. I didn't trust this person so I hung up the phone. I continued to return calls 4 - 5 times. This doesn't seem to be a legitimate caller. My security proovider is AVG and they say my computers are recording to date. Was it a bogus scam
