  1. Does Microsoft have a Helpline team that flashes on your screen when your computer is hacked?


    My computer was hacked yesterday and Microsoft Helpline 1-855-722-4457 popped on my screen and stated that this is a Windows Firewall Alert because Dridex07 Malware was detected. I called the number and JC William ID# MS7086JC answered and offered to clean up the infection. This is a scam right? Tell me how I can safely cleanup the infection.

    Disable Toast Notifications for Microsoft Teams

    When you receive a message through Microsoft teams you get a toast notification and the icon flashes. You can choose to have these notifications enabled or not. However, when the "banner" notification is disabled the toolbar icon does not flash at all.

    Is there is a way to disable the toast notification but keep the flashing toolbar icon intact?

    I have disabled all notifications in the Notifications settings within Windows 10, but the toast notifications are still showing.

    Edit

    This screenshot is to confirm that Microsoft Teams does not show up within the Notifications & Actions settings window:

    The version of Teams I have installed is 1.1.00.10955 (64 bit). It was last updated on 04/05/2018.

    There is now a suggestion on Microsoft's User Voice forum surrounding this feature. You can follow it here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.co...urn-off-message-preview-in-notification-toast
