  original title: Refresh TCP\IP Winsock

  Hi all

  I work tech support for an ISP broadband.  Get a certain calls lately from connectivity lost on cable connections (coax to modem, ethernet to the computer).  It seems that some of my old Dos standard TCP\IP troubleshooting commands are outdated.  Could someone please review and criticize the following sequence for accuracy?

  1. START | RESEARCH | ORDER -RUN as ADMINISTRATOR
  2. IPCONFIG/FLUSHDNS
  3. NBTSTAT-R
  4. NBTSTAT - RR
  5. NETSH INT REINITIALIS
  6. NETSH INT IP RESET ... Not
  7. NETSH WINSOCK RESET ... Yes

  Thank you!

• Is it true that it costs $99 / month for Mozilla Tech Support if needed?

  A parent who has been using FoxFire for years had a major problem with the loss of his data; After doing everything possible (restorations, etc.) he called Mozilla Tech Support and they said: of course, just give us your credit card; the charge is $ 99 for 30 days of technical support. He called the right number?

  Sorry to say but your parent has been scammed.

  Support us here. Mozilla does NOT support. If the problems persist post on this forum for help.

  I'm sure that there are many places calling themselves Support Mozilla, or something very similar. More frequent are scams of Microsoft/Windows. Whowever is probably does not have a traceable site.

• MacBook Air tech support scams

  Hello

  Has anyone heard of US Software Solutions Inc. and scams on them? I checked their site, seems legitimate, but anyone can put up a Web site. I called the numbers provided, a person pick up... however...

  I think I have been scammed. Yesterday, my computer froze with a popup that showed that I had a mistake and tech support number provided. I tried to stop the laptop, tried to force quit safari. The pop up kept repeating. I tried to open apple support, tabs would be open but the gel. I called technical support, with hesitation... bad feeling all the time... gave them the $, because they 'fixed' my laptop online... now it works, but I'm afraid to use it. By banking example, passwords etc.

  I am not computer savy.  Any suggestions? Help

  Yes, you have been scammed. Contact your bank for more details on how to deal with the fraud. Immediately change all passwords for anything that may have never accessed from this computer. For ultimate peace of mind, you can restore your computer using a backup prior to the access by criminals.

  For future reference: Force Quit Safari, then restart Safari while holding the SHIFT key... That's all.

• HP27vc: Tech Support a severe disappointment - the HP monitor drivers

  So, I bought this monitor at Staples last weekend.  I installed and also the HP Support Assistant.  When you're done, I then found that I was still operating under the generic "pnp monitor" driver Windows.

  HP Support Assistant was no help at all - he could not recognize that I am using a HP monitor.

  So I called HP Tech support today - as it turns out, it is offshore support.  After finally convincing that I indeed had a HP device that was under warranty, I was connected with another offshore technician, who proceeded to 'teach me' there is no HP DRIVERS - all use generic drivers.  At this point, I realized that I was being quite a lot of manure of cattle.  When I asked why HP Support Assistant did not see the monitor on my system, he said that it was not supposed to see the monitor, only the pc mainframe.  I told her that it was not very helpful and ended the call.

  So I dug even more, and of course, I found HP27vc LCD Monitor driver, sp73128.exe.  I installed this and now my monitor is running with the HP driver and not the generic.

  I checked HP Support Assistant once again, who wondered if the correct driver has been installed now, he can now see the monitor, but alas, he still does not see it.

  Is it worth keeping this HP Support Assistant installed?  I mean, because he does not see the monitor, how can it be of any use to me?

  Any comments or thoughts appreciated

  Hello:

  I guess you can get all kinds of divergent opinions about the usefulness of the software HP Support Assistant (HPSA).

  It is one of the first programs I uninstall when I have a PC HP.

  You have found, you can check the support page for your HP product for new drivers (or drivers in general).

  One of the things that scares me is that some people have the software HPSA runs automatically, and it will download and install software updates without knowing the user.

  This can be particularly dangerous if it downloads and installs an update of the BIOS for the PC, and work on the PC during this process.  Not sure yet it is running, or casually reject all notifications that you are busy (I do this at the time), and if you close your PC for an update of the BIOS, you end up with a dead PC.

  I read a few forum posts where that happened indeed a few people unhappy.

  You can set the program to you not inform that, and then you choose when and which updates to install.

  I just get rid of it... one more application running in background to slow down your PC.

  Use the utilities to clean and optimize disk at least once a month to keep your PC works well.

• LogMeIn and guaru tech support and pareto tech

  I have trouble downloading desktop BB so I contacted via Skype, I think it's teck support Guaru which stood on a microsoft Web site. We did the logmein.com and they took control of my computer and said: I have major problems they would be in trouble for $120. I stupidly gave them my name and email when the asked before they said what it would cost. I told them it's too, and we disconnected. A did the same thing with pareto, they wanted to just make me buy their product. I'm in trouble through identity theft?

  Sorry it is Mytechguru I did part of Microsoft. NA not pay anything, but I give them my email and name. Have you ever heard of them.

• Is it possible to connect with FACEBOOK Customer / Tech Support? I got my ID stolen FB and I can't connect with a living soul!

  Is it possible to connect with FACEBOOK Customer / Tech Support? I got my FB ID stolen and I can't connect with a living soul! I'm really tired of FACEBOOK and ZUCKERBERG, boasts getting its 1 billionth Member, meanwhile, its members have problems with scams, hackers, even FACEBOOK is now BANNING people for the addition of family and friends! This must be a scam any seriously! Im sick of him, he turned my whole as for social networks. If it wasn't for the fact that I have almost all of my family in Europe and around the world all in one place, I would certainly remove my account. The problem with that is if you delete your FACEBOOK PROFILE, you don't actually remove them. FB keeps them because they are the property of Facebook the minute climb you the post! This information is in the conditions of joining Facebook, but not on the registration page! that is wrong with this picture. THEY HAVE NO SUPPORT, NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, IT IS Y HAS NO PHONE NUMBER YOU CAN CALL TO REPORT YOUR STOLEN ID AND NOW I HAVE TO ALL RUN IT AROUND TO TRY TO FIND A CYBER CRIME UNIT WHO WILL HELP ME! How can the other thing, I know if Mytechgurus.com is a legitimate business. As I've been hacked and my ID stolen (curiously enough all what's happened just as I was banned from Facebook to add a friend, I've not seen in 36 years.) They have deleted my friendship with her and banned me for 7 days)! Facebook. MyTechGurus.com have charged me $700.00 for 2 pc for serivce of 24/7 for 2 years. Granted they have always been there in the last 6 weeks to help with all the problems that the pirate had created. They've phoned while I had a technician remote access online help with verbal information as it was a huge problem. but I put it back now because a governing body here in Australia called SCAM WATCH who is supposed to tell you who is a scam and is not was good enough to tell me that they are there only to report a scam, they can not physically tell you if one of them is actually a scam or not! I was left to literally chasing my own tail! HE IS THERE ANYONE TO HELP ME AT ALL!

• Microsoft Tech Support set

  There was an online game hosted by Microsoft a few years back where you played a member of I.T. tech support and was walking around fixing issues. The graphics are poor, ala Lesiure Suit Larry, but the game was fun and interesting. It would give you scenarios as 'Sally-can't print. How you would fix it."sometimes you would give a terminal screen, and you must enter commands and it will give you the answers. Someone remembers this and what it's called and where I can find if it still exists?

  Thanks in advance.

  Some sort of game historian inside Microsoft who I bet can answer this question is Ben Armstrong.  Go to his blog and send the question.  Chances are that he has not only seen, but tried in a virtual machine.  He blogged about the classic game in VPC and have for years.

  Just follow the links provided by PML to get the software to make a clone of your current drive.

  Or created an installation disk of Windows XP slipstreamed by using your original CD-ROM of MS Winxp Home

  After getting scammed by some fake tech support... my computer is still safe to use?

  More than two places to check (the second is obviously only valid if you are using Windows Firewall; if you use a third party firewall instead, see your user's guide or the help system application for how to manage exceptions to the firewall blocking rules):

  Control Panel > system > Remote tab

  make sure that no

  "Allow Remote Assistance invitations sent from this computer".
  or
  "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer".

  are checked.

  Control Panel > Windows Firewall > exceptions tab

  Browse products "programs and services" and make sure that the only items that are checked are the application you WANT to be able to pass through the Windows Firewall

• The call tech support?

  I received a call from someone claiming to be a technical support for the windows operating system. They said they were be proactive and helping people fix infected files. This happened to someone else?

  Yes.  Microsoft does not know if you have a problem, unless contact you them yourself.  They are * not * first call without something from you.  Like 99% of other businesses - if you use their product and are happy - good enough.
