you guys are asking users to microsoft telling them of a virus that will come out in "two days."

I was called a dozen times by an Indian woman telling me that it works for you guys (microsoft) and that if we do not follow his instructions, we will get a virus in the next two days

Hello

Its a SCAM!

In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.

No, Microsoft wouldn't you not solicited. Or they would know if errors exist on your
computer. So that's the fraud or scams to get your money or worse to steal your identity.

Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
phone calls to help you fix your computer

  • Microsoft will come out with a "WinPad' (Windows iPad)?

    I was just wondering...

    It would be very cool.
    I would like TO design / develop the WinPad!

    Hi Dante_M,

    Please ignore the facetious answer No Mo. The simple answer is in fact not. Or at least, it is very unlikely that Microsoft will get out a 'WinPad"or something like that.

    However, there are a number of Tablet PC out there running Windows 7. They are not made by Microsoft, but they are running an operating system of Microsoft Windows, exactly as does your computer.

    Take a look at this link for the Microsoft Store, which lists some of the multiple tablets out there running Windows 7. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/list/size.4/CEID.174925300/sort.listPrice/CategoryID.54536100/parentCategoryID.44066900/order.up

  • I have many windows security updates and are now too much room. Is there a program that will reduce the amount of space being taken up?

    I want to free memory space and have years of security updates to windows of the pak series 3 services. Is there a way to free up space or I will damage the operating system?

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to an external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on an external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)
    • See also:

    " How to recover disk space on Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP computers? ."

    " Forty ways to free disk space ."

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application on an external drive, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location (and even then, it is likely going to install some files on your main system drive).  You can not simply move the files.

    and the second mistake it doesn't show the one with temp... it says that VMwareAuthd Service is not running or something like that please check if you have rights to deliver this service. I tried to disable UAC, AV, firewall mistakes, first with the temp, and after that I deleted the contents of the temp it shows that the errror with VMwareAuthd Service is not running, if I try again it shows that the temp folder and so on...

  • How many of you guys are running a task killer?

    I have read from various sources, including this forum a task killer does more harm than good. Is this true?  If so, why they are so popular, and why even the developers do them?  The guys who do not perform a task killer are you the same or the battery life more out of your phone from someone with a task killer?  Do you have experiences less FC as some articles say? Or does not really a diference? I'm running the auto task killer who kills to the task, I said every time I SLEEP the phone.  I don't want to hurt my Droid so I want the truth.

  • Hello, last year I bought the cloud for students for R$ 528 (Brazilian money), now, a year later you guys just send a new price on my credit card automatic R $ 700, and you guys don't ask me anything, just sent the new automatic price!

    Hello, last year I bought the cloud for students for R$ 528 (Brazilian money), now, a year later you guys just send a new price on my credit card automatic R $ 700, and you guys don't ask me anything, just sent the new automatic price!

    The renewal price you pay is valid for 12 full months.  After that, we will renew your contract automatically unless you cancel. The price is subject to change, but we will always notify you in advance.

    Any promotional creative cloud pricing is valid for one year and at the time of renewal, the regular price applies.

    https://creative.Adobe.com/#plans

    For example, customers with a product of CS3 - CS6 can get full creative cloud for £27,34 per month for the first 12 months, then prices would revert to the normal price which is £46.88 / month

    You currently have a plan simple app for £17.58 / mth - it is usually price, not an introductory promo price.

    Renewal email are sent 1 month before the renewal date, and I'm sorry if this isn't enough time for you. Of course, you can register again at a time that suits you.

    Kind regards
