If someone phones you up and says that they're from Microsoft or "Windows" and that there's a problem with your computer being infected by a virus, just say "no thanks" and hang up.
Its not Microsoft or anything to do with Windows - they never phone people up at home out of the blue like this.
It's a scam!
Some of the aims of the scam are:
- Gain access to your computer to install viruses and other bad programs to monitor everything you do
- Obtain banking information - credit card information
- Charge you a lot of money for supposidly fixing this problem that doesn't exist
