Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.

    I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
    You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

  • Am I the only one getting a keyboard glitch on my lockscreen?

    I get a glitch alot that either makes half my keyboard cover my lockscreen as if I'm holding it sideways or it'll cover a little portion and won't let me press enter because it follows the screen when I slide it.

  • Am I the only one getting less than 30Mbps??

    Hi,
    I'm just trying to figure out if I have a problem or whether I just have to accept my speed. I notice most people who post on here seem to get well above 30Mbps and I just wondered if anyone else was in my situation?
    My IP profile started off around 26Mbps and over time reduced to just above 20. My upload speed used to be around 7/8 Mbps.
    I hadn't checked for a while but I've run a few BT speed tests over the last few days and my IP Profile seems to have increased and now varies around the 26/27Mpbs mark. Currently 27394. My last test showed an actual speed of 24973Kbps. So whilst still well short of 40 at least it's got better.
    What is weird is that my upload speed seems to have degraded to around 4-5Mpbs. Last test showed 4571Kpbs.
    Does this all seem reasonable or should I be raising an issue? I believe I am about 467m from the cabinet as the crow flies...
    Thanks

    P.S I've had Infinity for several months and am well outside the training period.

    It seems to me that BT mislead the customer when you initially test the expected speed you'll potentially get (via your telephone number) when thinking about getting BT Infinity....I seem to be reading the same thing in the forums...."My speed has gone down, once I've had BT Infinity for a few months" etc etc...
    My speed was initially estimated as being 'up to' 40Mbps.....which is what convinced me to sign up to BT Infinity....for the first two months I was getting download speeds (non peak time) of 34/38 Mbps (I live close to the exchange) which was really good. Then all of a sudden it dropped to 26/28Mbps.
    When I queried this I was told by BT customer services that the speed for my area was now only 'up to' an estimated speed of 30Mbps and not 40Mbps (as initially tested, obviously to rope the customer in) and because more people in my area had been connected up to the service they had to 'even things out' for all users. (I can not prove a thing BT say of course)
    Whilst I can not complain about the speed I get in comparison to what I was getting under my old ISP (2/4Mbps) the customer is totally being mislead by BT.
    I have now just received the 'new upgrade' Openreach modem which according to the BT letter states, Quote," The new modem improves your broadband connection, so your BT Infinty will be even better." The modem swop will be carried out by Kelly Communications.
    Nowhere in the BT letter does it mention that the 'new modem' is only a swop for the original Openreach modem because there appears to be a fault of overheating with the old ones. I defy BT to come back and inform the customer in what way does it improve the broadband connection. Again we have BT not telling the truth and misleading the customer.
    I have just done a speed test via the BT link  (time 1.00pm hardly the busiest period) and the downstream speed I recorded for my FTTC - BT Infinity line is 20Mbps the maximum estimated 'up to' speed from the exchange is given as 28Mbps so that has also gone down again from initially being estimated as 40Mbps four months ago to 30Mbps and now to 28Mbps. Is it me or is there a pattern here by BT.
    My BT Infinity package has effectively been halved from what I used to get (non peak time) of 34/38Mbps to what I'm actually now getting 20Mbps.....
    Like most people I'm tied into an 18mth contract with my BT Infinity package so I have to put up with whatever BT do, but one thing is for sure BT are pulling the wool over the eyes of its customers over what speeds they say you'll get and what speeds you actually do get.
    Still only another 13mths to go........by the time my contract is up I'll probably be getting what I was on with my old ISP of 2/4Mbps.

  • Random reboots mostly after unlocking, am I the only one getting them?

    Sometimes I unlock my phone and the screen remains black, then the phone reboots but weirdly it doesn't ask for the SIM pin number. Other times I notice the phone reboots by itself and I notice it because obviously the screen lights up during the boot animation. This happens very rarely, so far it has happened about 3 to 5 times in a couple of months but it's still mega annoying when it happens.
    Does it happen only to me? Is there any way to troubleshoot this issue?
    And please don't tell me to factory reset, I already did that less than a month ago and it happened anyway. Factory resetting is just a huge waste of time 99% of the time especially if you are not rooted.

    @MarkMRL
    Have you ever rooted the phone? unlocked the bootloader? flashed a custom ROM? 
    Repair the phone with PCC and stay away from intrusive apps for a dsay or so, or even repair the phone with PCC and do not install apps for a day, just to narrow down the issue

  • IPad take FOREVER to charge and Apps take FOREVER to download. Am I the only one having this problem?

    I bought my iPad I'd say about a year ago and this problem has been happening the moment I bought it. I can have the iPad charging all night long and still it doesn't fully charge. I took it to the Apple store a little over a month after I bought it and they ran some tests on it and said everything was fine that maybe it was just the iPad charger so he gave me a new iPad charger but that didn't help whatsoever.
    The other problem I'm having is that when I download Apps on my iPad they seem to take years to download. This can't be my wifi as I have other Mac products and an iPhone that downloads App just fine within seconds.
    Is all of this an iPad issue other people are having? Or am I the only one cursed?

    You need to reopen that case file for your initial problem and get that resolved. That's the first thing.
    The second thing (the download times) can easily be checked out while you are at the Apple Store (as a test you do yourself). Find a couple of large apps (like maybe approaching 1 GB) in which you don't have any personal data in them, and delete them from your iPad. Then redownload them and see how long it takes at the Apple Store.
    If it's quick and normal at the Apple Store, then you've got so,e problem with the iPad working right with your home WiFi, and you'll have to sort that out. If it's just as slow at the Apple Store, then you can open up case file on that issue while you are still in the Apple Store.

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

  • I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
    To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
    1) Go into Settings > Store.
    2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
    3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
    4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

    If you create a metadatatype with a single metdata block, and you reference that in your vm/cm cell attribute using a *one* based index, Excel seems to see the link and it honors it when saving the spreadsheet.
    So, I ended up with something like:
    <c ... cm="1"/> (I'm dealing with cell metadata, but the concept is equivalente to value metadata)
    <metadataTypes count="1">

  • Volume : Am I the only one with issues hearing calls

    Ok, I am about 75% done with my activation I can place calls just not receive them. So far I love the iPhone, other than activation (Not Apples fault). However I have a big problem hearing calls (Apples fault). Am I the only one having this problem?
    Apple please get us an update out soon that will fix this problem. There is no way this phone can work for me if I cant hear calls. I will be forced to return the phone and go back to my Razr. Other than this issue (and it is a big one) I love the phone

    NO! I thought that it was because i turned 30 this year! This *****! really bad! i love the iphone but i am totally gunna be FORCED! to return it if there is not a solution to this problem ASAP! ive noticed that talking to a person on a land line is the louder between talking to anyone on another mobile but still not load enough! THE ONLY WAY I CAN USE THIS PHONE FOR ANY KIND OF CONVERSATION IS WITH THE STEREO HEADSET IN BOTH EARS! hense cutting out any backgroud noise! Apparently there is no problem on the other end! everyone has said they can hear me fine! As far as the speaker! ridiculouse! i will nnot even attemt it unless im in a closed room! forget about using it in your car! you will hear a wisper!

  • Am I the only one who gets exited out of everything on my iPhone?! I will open up Instagram and not even 2 minutes later it will close down. How do I fix this?! It's so annoying.

    Am I the only one who gets exited out of everything on my iPhone?! I will open up Instagram and not even 2 minutes later it will close down. How do I fix this?! It's so annoying.

    I will assume you are using a slower iPhone 4 on iOS 7 if you are experiencing such problems so frequently. You might already be trying this, but my first suggestion would be to double tap the home button and see what you have running. You might not be quitting any of the apps you open. To stop an app from running and slowing down your phone, after double-tapping, slide the preview cards up for apps you don't need to run.

    did you all change SIM? any time you change SIM with cash on tap....welcome to a world of pain! i have an s6 edge en route with a new sim and im not looking forward to it!  the s6 shop page states the phone is compatible with cash on tap and it probably is.  the problem is few people at EE understand how cash on tap works/how to fix it.  there is EE customer services, behind them 2nd line technical who deal with corporate stuff mainly - they will be able to contact the right people to fix it if you can somehow manage to get through to them. Ask to be put through to David Boyce in technical support or someone on the same team as him.  The only person I found who understood and was able to fix the issue! **apologies in advance for name dropping him** then there is cash on tap customer services that EE customer service will probably transfer you to - they can "refresh" your account - will probably do nothing but worth a try the company that can actually fix it are another 3rd party that run the provisioning of the SIM - i don't think there is a way to get in contact with them...it's ridiculous took me 2 weeks of daily phone calls to get it fixed last time.
