• Support of windows phone call pretending

  I received a phone call from a person who said she was from the Windows Support. She said she wanted to talk about a problem with my computer. I never give information to unknowns, I told her that I don't have a computer. She insisted and said she has a computer registered in my name and added my name to me, just in case I didn't know how to spell!  I insisted on the fact that I don't have a computer, which she hung up without even a goodbye. The phone number that appears on the screen of my phone was as follows: + 971 2 179 514 (the code is that of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, to be more precise). I know that Microsoft may have something else to do, but it would not be a good thing if the authorities took a peek in these crooks/scammers / con artist Set up or in other words the CALL CENTERS that prey on the innocent and unsuspecting of honest people? Isn't this why do laws exist?

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let 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.

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

  It seems that the only info. the woman had been your phone (obtained from the phone book?) number and was just guessing that you got a PC (make most of the households in developed countries).

He told me to press the indicator button and the letter r on several occasions, I've actually held simultaneously downwards, not hitting, he popped a bunch of boxes of run menu.  I was getting more skeptical, it was contagious and he hung up on me.  Is he there some sort he got information from my computer, had this ligit?  Help, please!

• Windows 7 changes the screen resolution when video applications go full screen.

  When I have plenty of screen some video players, that the resolution of the screen on just the ordinary 1080 p 1080 p (native) that has a refresh rate of 60 hz. As soon as I exit full screen it activates again. Would be nice but when it switches the screen is no longer fits the screen and the user interface looks very grainy, the video actually looks very good. Windows Media Player 12 for this, while VLC does not, which leads me to believe its something to do with the way that Windows Media Player makes video (which I think it uses Direct x, which uses VLC OpenGL).  I have this problem on my computer and my brothers computer I customized built. The specifications are very similar, other that my computer has an Nvidia GTS 250, and has a Nvidia GTX 275.  Is there anyway to stop it from doing this?

  Data sheet:

  Intel Core i7 clocked at 2.66 Ghz

  6 GB of ram

  ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X 58 ATX Intel Motherboard

  
  

  Just in case people always have a problem with this problem, pls here's a solution that worked for me...

  I spent the last month trying to solve this problem, and "youemailme" (another thread here) had the correct solution for me! And so Simple!

  I noticed on Blogs that this problem has existed for at least Win98 is not your computer or your operating system.

  The question seems to be programs in your Menu has a different screen resolution to set startup, thereby causing the screen resolution change when you start your computer. This isn't a MicroSoft program error, but rather a question of "settings".

  With me, what worked were 2 things:

  (1) perform the 'clean boot process' as advised by many to determine which granted software was causing the problem... and then.

  (2) right click on the name of the program (as discovered in above) 'problem' in the Start Menu > properties > compatibility.  For some reason, there is an option to "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution", which has been verified.  This program was in the startup folder and the cause of the problem.  Then unchecked the resolution box. No problem.

  In my view, there are a large number of people dealing with this exact problem. I hope that this process of step 2 could solve their problems.

  (ps, just thinking about it now, you might not even bother with the 'clean boot process' but simply go through all your programs in your Start Menu and run the 2nd step explained above. Should work?)

  See you soon

• Private browsing issues: new window is a "pop-up" & right click on Favorites Displays grayed out options

  When I'm in the mode of private browsing in Firefox 38.0.1 for Windows 8.1, I can't do the following.

  1. when I click on a link to open a new window, the new window is like a pop-up window (no menus, no scroll bar). I have a blocked pop-up windows, it is like, but is not technically a pop-up window but it is not blocked.

  2. when I choose a bookmark and then right-click on it to choose another bookmark in a new window or new tab (or any other options that appear), the text is gray while I can't choose it.

  These "issues" are normal for Firefox 38.0.1?

  My suggestions for the settings to be performed in all: config. That type in the address bar, press the return key, then change these settings. Which will affect the popup windows. Does this affect the private windows?

• Device Preview for Windows Phone?

  I understand Adobe as a unique partnership with Apple, I also know that Windows Phone has a small market share that could be the reason why Windows Phone gets overlooked, but will preview device, at least in version beta comes to Windows Phone; or should I put it to rest and stop hoping?

  Hi Christophe,

  For now, there are no plans for or against Windows Phone support for the preview of the device. Sorry, I have no definitive news to share. I know that several people have asked for Android support, so, if we took the application to another device, it would probably be that prior to Windows.

• I received a phone call from someone who said they were the Windows technical support. I did not understand the person that he was a stranger

  The person calling said he could give me a technical support for problems that they had detected with my computer, but he seemed surprised when I said that I had problems with my computer.  I did not understand a lot of what he was saying because of his foreign accent.  Can someone tell me what it is?  I don't think that I may have a virus, but Windows actually call for help?

  You were lucky that you could not understand him and so do not buy what he was selling.  It was a scam.  Microsoft does not make unsolicited phone calls.

  Insofar as thought, you could have a virus...

• Phone call from Windows saying I had many junk files - is it a scam?

  I have Windows Vista HP on my laptop.  Last night, I received a phone call from someone who said he was from Windows & my computer is slow because I had so many unnecessary files.  I was skeptical, but he did as he asked, via start > computer > etc, then typed in 'unwanted Prefetch"as indicated by him who brought up a list of files, which many have been marked! Error.  He kept saying: ' Oh my God ' when I told him this topic, but that Windows could help solve this & not to worry.  Guests were about to happen, so I asked if I could remind him.  Wasn't the answer, but he was going to call again on Monday night.  "Are you in India?", I asked.  "No, Oxfordshire, but I'm of the India.".   I again asked her name/number - he said Sam Hoggard and began to give me the - 5210-01865 - number when my phone battery ran out and cut the call.

  I can't find that any info on this situation from the web, so my question is - is this likely to be a real call?  Windows are proactively calls users?

  Hello hklovejoy,

  Thank you for posting and this bring to our attention.  I can assure you that Microsoft DO NOT contact customers by phone this way.  The engineers of the technical support of Microsoft with customers by phone, only time is if the client contacts the help desk first and asks that we call them.  It looks like the command he had run just listed files but just to be on the safe side I am you provide a link to a post in our security and our Forum of privacy that deals to get rid of spyware or malicious software.  I highly recommend that you read and follow the instructions in the Microsoft MVPs.  The scans are free and I invite you to run all 3 they recommend.  Here is the link to this post:

  Let us know what are the scans.  If they detect viruses or software malware and you need assistance with remove them if please post a reply and let us know.  Make sure that you include the name of the detected virus/malware, error messages Word for word on the screen that you get, and a description of any behaviour of Bazaar that you noted with your computer.

• Phone call from Microsoft windows scam

  Hello

  I received a phone call saying he was Microsoft Windows and there are system reported that my computer was full of viruses and malware, and they said that my computer was sending viruses in e-mails that they lock my email account in order to protect others. They knew my name and said they could make me a lot if I could prove that I was learned as they need my bank details to level from 4 years of life support that will continue with new computers to replace old. I stupidly gave details as he said that if I did it would install antivirous in the computer as a dinner he says my current software wasn't good.

  Then he forced me to enable remote assistance and took me to the purchase for Business Package of distance page help for New World Services Inc. and forced me to enter my data I did. After completing the session, I received an email of New World Services Inc., saying that I had bought the business package and looking upward found only for four years. I then went to my Bank and the cashier told me it was a scam and I got mannaged to cancel the card before it empied my account although New World Services Inc. did take £252.00 my account and told them about the scam and that I don't want there services and do not call me.

  I always get calls saying they are Microsoft Windows or they are malicious and calling about my computer with virus software and when I don't, thank you and hung up there have been moments when someone else says the exact same words as little as an hour later, well that people call regularly as now I know most of them as soon as they speak.

  They installed ammyy to allow access through my firewall to send windows logs them so with selected McAfee frirwall and ammyy blocked as they had shown me the observer of events the adminastrative events and said cuircles reds are virouses and yellow triangles are malware. When I said that the red circle is when I did a forced when troubleshooting stop where I pressed the button for a few seconds.

  Then I got a phone call saying could I turn on my computer as the info from my computer that has virouses and malware had said. If blocking ammyy had worked as before they were able to tell red any yellow order of events. So I then removed my computer ammyy and that they would not receive the ball more.

  When after I dial to get phone calls not the last call, I get when they called and get that they do not have the number of appellants and it has afflicted me that sometimes there was as little as an hour between calls, it seems I'd barr the number of fraudsters and barr New World Services Inc. If they continue to call and if need be I have to change my phone number.

  1. contact your credit card company, if you had given the scammer, your credit card number.

  -Cancel the card and ask for a replacement with different identification number.
  -If you have paid the scammer with your credit card. The card has been compromised.

  2. contact your bank.
  -Change the account.
  -Change the PIN code.

  3. If you saw the crook of remote access to your computer, it is compromised.
  -Reinstall Vista
  -Use another user name and password.

  4. talk to your local law enforcement... If you want to go that far.
  -Ask to speak to people in the Department of wire fraud. See if something can be done about it.

  5. change the phone number.
  -Scammers will call you. They will not stop.
