Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams
Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary
technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a
Microsoft Agent or
Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an
official
Microsoft global customer service number.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (Signiture Series), and I can't get most programs to conect to the internet that don't use the web.
I get errors on several products that can't connect to the activation servers (Microsoft and Other Vendors)
My Security software can't get updates (Unable to connect to server)
Few programs actually work, like my email. I am not sure why some programs can connect to the internet and some can't!
