I received a phone call claiming to be from a Windows Live saying that my computer would be closed in half an hour

because of malicious material. I told him not to call again as she begins to ask personal questions about time leave us here for work, etc. What happened to someone else? I know it was probably a stupid but its really weird still.

It's a scam.  I'm glad you don't fall for it.  All other calls suggest that tell you the caller you brought calls to the police who should dissuade continue to harass you.
