Lately when I turn on my computer, I get a message saying. "Windows mail can compact the message store. This can take up to a few minutes. "It looks like a real message of Windows but when I click on the link"Get help from communities", it does not work. I cancel or close the message, because I fear that the message can be fake and won't open my computer for a virus or worse. Anyone has any info on this particular message? I can't find anything in the help section of Windows. Thank you.

I had virus protection total defence installed. This occurred immediately after.
Hello
Thanks for your answer to my question. I was about to start step 2, by performing a boot minimum when a message pops up informing that 2 programs were slowing down my computer and also to stop because they were also running. Ironically, these programs I've ever used has appeared on my computer advertising protection against viruses and to speed up the computer.
I did not purchase the license if it comes to start up all the 3 or 4 days telling me that my computer is slow.
I uninstalled both programs, which I won't mention for obvious reasons and the event system Com + message did not return after the computer has restarted 3 times. Apparently, the problem has been resolved, but I will continue to have oversight. If the problem returns I'll restart and inform you about the results. Thanks again for your expertise. guavaridgemb

When I click on a link, I get the address was not included
I use outlook. When I click on a link, I get a message that "the address was not understood. I need to open links.
Do you mean Outlook, the program which is part of Microsoft Office on your PC, or Outlook, the new Hotmail?
If you right-click > copy the location of the link and then paste it into the address bar, it starts with an unusual Protocol? I mean, something other than http or https? If so, Firefox cannot be put in place to open links with this Protocol. What is it?
