• Alleged phone call from Microsoft saying that I had a lot of mistakes on pc

  I was contacted by someone who said he worked for a group on behalf of Microsoft.  He said he had information, based on the responses I got problems I had met, my computer was about to crash and that he wanted to avoid that.  He asked that I hold down the key of Microsoft and the 'r' key who brought up a window 'run '.  Then he asked me enter a few letters.  At this point, I said that I want to talk to a member of the staff of Microsoft.  He said to do and hung up.  Was it a legitimate appeal involving Microsoft?

  There are a lot of different scammers do these kinds of phone scams. They operate worldwide and are difficult to control or track. Personally, I am red which helps.

  Some people say that they don't own a computer and hang up. In this way these specific Crooks, at least, have no reason to remember.

  Your best defense is to know when it comes to scams - tell your family and your frends too.

  Although you already seem to know that these calls are usually scams, here's my usual advice:

  «Do not make them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest.» One moment.

  Please see:

  I recently downloaded a program called DrWrite to help me with my English 102 paper that needs to be done in APA formatting. The program tells me that I need to enable macros. How can I do this?

  Hello
   
  A macro is a rule or model that specifies how a certain input sequence (often a sequence of characters) should be mapped to an output sequence (often a sequence of characters) according to a defined procedure.
   
  The error that says you need to activate the macros, the macros are specific to the software.
