  1. Phone fraud posing as Microsoft


    Hi, I need help, I have a problem! Yesterday I received an incoming call from this phone number - 716 795 7995. The caller's name is Bob Foster saying that from Microsoft support, he spoke with a strong accent .... I was a little wary, but after he started saying that my computer is infected with viruses and Microsoft wants help me remove them. To do this, he told me to go to a website and download a special antivirus. I was very scared and, in my naivety, I downloaded the program, but did not install it. Before installing, I decided to check this phone number, and to my regret, I found reviews that these are fraudsters - https://m.usa-numbers.com/17167957995. I immediately deleted the downloaded program from the computer. I worry if the scammers got access to my files. And if I did not install their program. Is there any chance that I did not infect a computer with a virus? I really hope for a quick answer!

    :)

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
