It is a scam. Don't let them no access to your computer, or give any information.
Microsoft does not call users.

About once or twice a month, I get a phone call from someone claiming to be with microsoft. This person said that there is evidence that someone is trying to take over my computer. Then he asked me to give him permission to embark on my computer to remove these attempts. My question is... is it the way that microsoft works and is a legitimate call? And should I allow this person access to my computer?

I fell for what you all seem to feel is a "scam."
I got a call saying they were technical support from Microsoft, they called for my pc was hacked and sent error messages. I was not too su re, but they had me enter a code on the pc, and it showed a list of more than 50 error messages, they said that they had received. Then, they control that is given to them for the mouse and seized a lot of information showing me the problems. Then he said warns me on; those pirates I needed a special program. "Alpha PC maintenance" and for 3 years, it would be $ 135. Now I don't know if it was the real scoop or I fell for a big pile of *! I could use the theory, I'm a senior, but I think I should have been smarter. What should I do now that they've been in the pc?

Today, I received a phone call supposedly from Microsoft saying you receive many messages from my computer problem and they gave me the address of the site above to verify the call.

Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer
In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.
Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.
Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.
If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.
If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

A part is sposing as the company Microsoft is breaking into the computers of the peoples. Mine has been hacked. I can finally return to my account, but I can no longer receive emails from anythings. I went through the question: my computer has been hackjed and can not change my password... I'm not a wise computer, but I really need help.
You're saying that your physical PC has been compromised or that your account has been compromised? They are not the same thing. If the first case, then the best thing to do if you connect is to backup your data to an external device or the cloud (SkyDrive, Dropbox, etc.) and to reinstall Windows, have it reformat your hard drive in the process.
If, instead, your email account has been compromised, you may be able to get help from your postal service provider support staff to force change or to close the old Inbox mailbox and create a new one.

I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.
My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.
My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.
I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.
There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!
Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!
I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
