Windows team wants personal information, it is ligit?
I got an email from the Windows team, saying they had problems with the defender of the window and I had to send them information such as
my address, date of birth, password, etc. I felt not right on the issue. They said they needed information as Windows Defender has had a few
problems and need, supported this information to continue to give me. How to know if it's really Windows team!
It is a scam to get personal information. Microsoft send never solicited. Delete it.

I tried to go to Web sites that I visit every day and they are all blocked by a virus that seems to be Mozilla (but isn't) and watch the logo of mozilla and says my site has been blocked by the parent control of Mozilla and you must sign up for this. He asks that all the personal information you give NEVER online so I knew it was a virus. I write this in safe mode. My Vipre will not pick up this virus and Malware bites either. I have deleated Mozilla and reinstalled but it did not work.

I received an email that appears to come from the Windows Live team and contains MSN icons. It is said that it is the final notice about a update of 2011 and asks I answered and confirm several pieces of personal information within 2 weeks or my account will be permanently closed. He asked that I come home from a series of letters to confirm the validity of the email. It is said that it is because there is a change in the service. This is spam and if so, how to report, because there certainly seems genuine, but looks very suspicious. The sender is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

Windows Live Hotmail asks for personal information by e-mail
I received numerous emails saying that they come from Windows Live Hotmail, asking for personal information, including my password, date of birth, etc. The messages say that they update of files and I need to send this information, or my account or my account will be deleted. Do you really send these emails, or is this some kind of scam? Computer experts I spoke say that these messages would be never sent any reliable organization and will never respond to these requests for information. What do you know about this?
Hi SharonMiller,
They would never ask you for your personal information, so you can assume that it is a scam. Please see do fall not into fake support.

Is tha legitimate alert account I got Windows Live yesterday? Needs of personal information within 48 hours or Hotmail account will be cancelled "to eliminate congestion."
Carol,
The e-mail you received is fake, they fish for all of your personal information. Do not respond or provide information. I received emails like this all the time and just delete them. The only way that your hotmail account will be deleted would be idle for several weeks or months that I know. If there is no link associated with the e-mail address please not click on any as an attack of malware, which may encourage.
I hope this helps.

Hi I have windows vista edition Home premium. You need to remove any personal information at all times so I can give to the family member. Is there a way I can do this easily and free of charge? Hope you can help. Thank you!!!

Hello
Reinstall the operating system.
If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

I'm about to change my old computer (windows vista) to a new all-in - one computer that has windows 7. Am I right in thinking that I can transfer my files incl. photos to an external hard drive and then plug that to my new download or is it more than that. Also, I have macafee protection on my old computer and don't know how to transfer to my new one cos I don't think that's it (we bought it second hand on ebay), and this should be done first.
Finally how to make sure that none of my personal information is nowhere on my old for security reasons?
I would appreciate any advice, thanks
Several options;
(1) simple, connect you external hard drive copy data
Or use the backup software which may be preinstalled on the outside
(2) for easy transfer Windows http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/Products/features/Windows-Easy-Transfer
Old PC;
The windows recovery discs to retrieve destructively to factory settings
McAfee
Uninstall on the old PC to the new PC, uninstall any trial version pre-installed anti-virus, reboot, reinstall McAfee from original installation media using your key
New PC
Make sure that it has been reset to the State of the plant, before you do something with it, because you don't know what the previous user used during or installed on it.
