I received a phone call from someone who said they were from Microsoft and I had a lot of mistakes on my computer and he would help me fix. is it a scam?

Microsoft called to solve problems?

Hello

Microsoft will never make calls unsolicited users!
If you get called by one of these scammers, say "I'm sorry, but Microsoft do not call users about PC errors" and put down the phone. These scammers can deceive you more money in Exchange for the fake virus protection and install malicious software on your particular PC remote access.
Never listen to these cold - callers-simply ignore them.
Best wishes and good luck!
