WARNING POST: New Windows 10 scam will encrypt your files for ransom

This is not Lenovo specific but a Windows 10 exploit going around hitting upgraders as I read it. None the less it is clear one must be careful in what they run and are downloading during the process. I am not clear where this is coming from (email, website etc) but be very careful for most ti will be a bad experience if you are a victime. http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-scam-email-will-encrypt-your-files-for-ransom/?tag=nl.e539&s_cid=e539&ttag=e539&ftag=TRE17cfd61 

Which computer? There is a label on the bottom.
Try an older version of the driver for your model.

  • New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users

    Using EP 6.40 SP 13
    The content is simple:
    -A number of WebDynpro iViews delta-linked to exactly one PAGE each.
    -A number of WORKSETS, each with one or more PAGES delta-linked.
    -A number of ROLES, each with multiple WORKSETS delta-linked - some PAGES deleted based on the role.
    Both the pages and the iViews have the Appearance - Size Height Type attribute set to FULL_PAGE.
    Some users never have the problem and some always have the problem.  Upon further investigation, it seems some client machines have the problem and others do not.
    Would it be browser related?  Something strange with the "Open in new Window" menu option?
    Anyone have some ideas as to the cause of the problem?

    Hi:
    Thanks, it is not an error situation after all.
    It was the Work Protect Mode, the clients production default is 1 - always open a new screen.
    I suppose some users just use the system differently than others in a consistent fashion.
    Thanks again,
    Chad

  • When I click on anything, either a new window or tab will pop up

    I have a MacbookPro, and recently, whenever I click on anything, and I mean anything, a new, completely unrelated, tab or window will pop up? In addition to this, random words on any webpage have turned green with double lines underneath themlike this: And when I put my mouse over it, this happens: In addition to this, whenever I go on a website with a lot of images, for example a shopping website, these orange signs come up on all of the images: and when I put my mouse on them, this happens:
    How do I stop this??? Its very annoying! Thanks!

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    Right-click or control-click the line and select

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • New Windows 2008 guest will not start in OVM 3.0.3

    First off - seems I can't open an SR on MetaLink as the Oracle VM product isn't listed (even in the 'All Products' list)... any thoughts on that one?
    But here is the real problem I have...
    We are trying to create a Win Svr 2008 guest in our OVM 3.0.3 environment.
    On machine start, the job shows 'In Progress' and the server is shown as locked.
    If we try to open a console window, VNC fails with 'Connection Closed'
    I've tried setting "boot='d'" in the vm.cfg file however we still receive the same result.
    The host is an IBM x3650 M4 currently hosting 3 other Linux guests.
    The current vm.cfg contents are listed below.
    And what is the usbdevice='tablet' about? That's a new one on me...
    vm.cfg contents:

    Hi,
    I tested the Installation of XEN HVM, PV drivers with a WindowsXP, and the installation works like a charm, and the vm.cfg contains a line looks like:

  • New Windows 8.1laptop will only install MSN/Bing - not firefox

    I have installed a yahoo home page on my new win 8.1 laptop, using I.E. I also like to have FF for web browsing. However, when I download FF, it comes as MSN and Bing - which I definitely do not require. Is there a way around this please?

    Hi, please see [[How to set the home page]].
    Incidentally: You should only download Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Mozilla.org]
    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

  • TS3274 New window in Safari will not work

    Every time I click the plus sign it shuts safari off. I can't open multiple windows

    A couple of things to try
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Clear Safari's cache: Settings App > Safari > clear Hisory and Clear Cookies and Data.

  • Windows 8.1 will not copy files from intranet site.

    I am using Windows 8.1 and I am trying to copy files from an Apple Time Capsule disk to a local hard drive. First I got the message box that said "Your Internet security settings suggest that one or more files may be harmful. Do you want to use it
    anyway?" and when I said okay nothing would copy. I went into my Internet options and added the Time Capsule disk to my site list in the Local Intranet Zone and reconnected the shared drive. Now I don't get the error box but it doesn't copy
    anything either. It does nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • My new windows 7 machine and firefox color defaults for input boxes are obscurring the input box on the google search page making google unusable

    Under Windows 7 Firefox looks quite different including the default blue for input to question boxes which are white on the xp machines. Normally this is not a problem. But on the Google web page the blue is so bold that nothing can be seen except for a very small portion of the characters (in red) extending below the input screen. This becomes miserable if you try to edit a search stmt or backspace to correct a spelling error. you are quickly lost and need to clear the cache and reload the page.
    This problem does not appear using Chrome or IE on the same machine. Nor is it a problem using Firefox 9.0.1 on two other home PC's running XP (there no input box obscures the answer). This seems to be a lot of work.

    That can be caused by the "Keystroke protection" in Comcast Constant Guard.<br />
    "Configure Anti-Keylogging Settings" -> disable

  • Toast will not compress files for me to burn?

    I am wondering if anyone else is having problems with toast compression from video_ts file to a dvd? I seem to have that problems with it. Thanks.

    You might try to trash the copy of MTR you are now using and re-download it again.
    This a very simple process, and you shouldn't be having any problem.
    Start MTR put in the Movie.
    Stop the DVD Player and it will then load on MTR. Click to start. When it finishes it will place the Video TS folder on the Desktop.
    Close evrything and eject the DVD you were using.
    Double click on Popcorn when it opens drag the VideoTS folder from your desktop to the box in Popcorn click burn the RED dot lower right thats all there is to it.

    And by the way there isn't anything that is even close to being as good as MTR

  • I'm back in CS3. What's the extension (acronym) newer version users have to save Illustrator files for me to open?

    Saving new versions of Illustrator files so I can open them in CS3...what's the extension?

    There is no specific other format. They are just AI files. They just have to take care to pick the right version, though inevitably you are going to lose data one way or the other.
