Fixed it. I fixed it by uninstalling the "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" on the network adaptor, reinstalling it and then restarting the computer. After the re-start things are now back to normal.
To uninstall the "File and Printer sharing for microsoft networks" in windows 7/Server 2008:
- Go to Network and Sharing Center from the control panel.
- Click change adaptor settings on the left hand side.
- Right click the network adaptor (if you have more than one you may need to do this on all of them).
- Select "Properties" from the list.
- In the "This connection uses the following items:" select "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks".
- Click the "Uninstall" button.
- Click "Yes" when the conformation box appears and wait for it to uninstall ("File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" will disappear from the "This connection uses the following items:" box once uninstalled).
- Click the "Install" button.
- Select "Service" from the "Click the type of network feature you want to install:" box.
- Select "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" from the "Network Service" box.
- Click "OK" and it should install in less than a few seconds ("File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" will reappear in the "This connection uses the following items:" box once installed).
- Restart the computer and the problem should be fixed.

Win 10 instead of 9
Why did Microsoft skip Windows 9 and went straight to Windows 10 is easily explained. Let's just say that Microsoft has to show user's that this was the end of the old Windows version and now it's creating a new Windows version from the ground up. That's where Windows 10 comes in.
Only time will tell if this new version of Windows will win the consumer market. Let's hope to see if they get this one right.

Fake Tech Support Scam
The Fake Tech Support Scan is on high alert lately. Not only are they conning the elderly but anyone who they can convince them to buy into their scam.
The scam starts pretty simple with someone calling you for support claiming to be Microsoft employees. In situations where things don't make sense your best option is to do nothing and get a return number or tell them to send you the information by mail. If they are a legit company they will be able to mail you something or you can easily reach them. Anything else would be questionable. But buyer beware because it's guys like these that are giving real computer technician's a bad name.
