I just received a call from "Microsoft Windows" team and they claimed they got messages from my computer that said I had viruses & malware. At first they seemed legit and had me go to some places on my computer that had warnings and error messages so that seemed genuine. Then they claimed it was because my Norton license key renewal had expired (even though my Norton says it's working properly and my computer is secure) and they wanted to sell me a Microsoft key renewal for my Norton. When I refused they said Microsoft is going to blacklist my computer and not help me again. Wwwhhhaaatttt? I assume it's a big scam...wanting the $ for the license key renewal b…

I have a triple-boot PC (don't ask) with 7-Vista-7. When 8 is released, I will replace the Vista partition with 8. I don't need help with the install, as I know that I just follow the Custom Install route. My question regards the removal of the Vista partition. I could format that partition first, but will Windows become confused and think that Vista still exists somewhere? Or I could just install 8 with a Clean Install. Any suggestions? I really hate it when multi-boot systems remember an OS which is long gone. And if I want the boot order to be 7-8-7, will I need to edit boot.ini? (I ask this last question because it appears that the last OS installed is the top…

Why upon using Microsoft Security Essentials after a fresh install FULL SCAN about 229,430 items and then, after a few days later repeatedly scan only about 180,000 items? (Yet, upon an uninstall and new install (with the same definition update), once again scan about 229,000 items.) View this thread

12 people are using OneNote 2010 on a network. These 12 people have 1 shared, main, departmental notebook but also, each has his/her own personal, notebook. If someone adds a new page to the main, shared department notebook, how do the other people know that something new was added and where it was added? Is there some way for people to get a notification at the bottom of their screen "OneNote has updated Notebook A - Section 4 - added new page" "Click here to view this update"? Otherwise, this is double the work. And e-mail notification has to be sent out letting everyone know there was a OneNote update? And then from the e-mail, users must figure out where the upda…

I have installed the MS Anti virus package on my XP and Server 2003 systems am very happy with it one year on. I am doing some work on some old legacy equipment and wanted to run Windows 2000 on them with the anti virus package but on install I am getting a message saying "epplauncher.exe is not a valid Win32 program" My machine for the 2k o/s is a Compaq EN 733 Pentium 3 128mb Ram which is not happy running XP. It was slow in the early days but after umpteen years of "updates" has slowed to an intolerable pace. In contrast it runs 2k at a very respectable pace for the programs I use on it. Is there is an alternative version as it may just be the launcher program th…

I have often heard that using an optional cleaner program such as Advanced system Care or system Care Pro would cause problems with your primary security program. I have Microsoft Security Essentials currently and have had NO major issues so far but in reading the forums about optional programs it seems that sometimes these individual programs cause other issues with your primary security programs. I just want to be sure I am not installing anything that would not be covered by MSE. According to some of the information contained in these optional programs they tell you that you really need the avanced programs to really catch the bad stuff that comes through wh…

After that I called internet, such copy paste did no longer work and only an unformatted text was pasted within word or between word & excell or importing webb portions from internet. Therefore it seems that internet caused the interference, I ignore where. This started sev…
