Office 365 "The fine print" popup message - is it legitimate?
Hi Anna,
Please respond, or refer us to who can respond to the original issue in this stream - this microsoft office 2016 "the fine print" popup. I purchased microsoft office "Home and Student" 2016 several years ago and it has worked fine up to now. Suddenly today when I open a Word, Excel or PPT - any office doc I am seeing this "the fine print" popup. It doesn't seem like a legitimate thing from Microsoft and I don't want to click the "Accept and start..." button until Microsoft confirms it is for real, or what to do about it...
The answer I just got from Microsoft Commercial Support was to just click accept then it will go away. I don't really have a warm fuzzy feeling about that if I'm honest.
That does not work. When you "x" the popup, the application shuts down.
Has anyone determined the source of "The Fine Print" pop up yet? I am starting to see it in my user community. If it is Microsoft it seems heavy-handed, if it isn't Microsoft then are they aware that it is spreading?
... and just as important -- it is blocking access to the applications, with no evident remedy!
