Hello GeoPrencipe,
Microsoft regularly use research groups of third market as Ipsos for their investigations. AMT and Neilson are other brands.

A person supposed to be Microsoft called and said my Firewall Security Center was not working and had an ID # they said was my ID of computers that he read out to me and that I have no idea whether or not this is the ID. They wanted me to be in front of my computer and asked me to do things and wouldn't continue until I started, I started to do what they asked which of course I did NOT! I requested a call back number, and that's what he gave me:
1 855-731-4936 and his name was Fred Watson, was not American speaking, very strong foreign accent.

It's a scam. If you allow them to connect to your computer, then all of your private information belongs to them.

Thank you for posting the exact text of the message you get, verbatim. It is not
legitimate and you shouldn't send them anything. We'll know more as soon as
You see the message, but always certainly you are infected by a rogue
antivirus protection. The message telling you that you have a virus is itself
malware.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

Microsoft initiated phone calls for this correction?
REC received a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft today, indicating that the security update did not work on my computer and want to take control online to fix. Is - is this legitimate?
No. (see this article - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytipstalk/archive/2010/03/09/don-t-fall-for-phony-phone-tech-support.aspx)
Microsoft does not contact you personally, they don't send attachments, etc.
You were right to be wary.

Microsoft Customer Service - additional views Abomnitable
Can someone tell me how to avoid spending hours of frustration with the Microsoft Customer Service? I pay for this service. I have a firewall problem which was caused by a Microsoft technician last week and I'm trying to get it resolved. Microsoft response service invariably sent me to the wrong support group. Before that I have to find that point, I'm put on hold for a long time. After another long wait, I talk with someone who is trying to solve the problem and can not. This person either loses the phone connection. I must then call back and start over. Problems to be solved are deceptively simple. I think those tech people would be really useful. They do not seem to understand the problem. Use cat for the better?
Of all the mfg of hardware or software, microsoft must be a #1 society
for any phone problems related...
Whatever it is, try a different number. 800-936-4900 or 800 936 5800
In addition, if the firewall is a problem, try to open cmd, type: Sfc/scannow

Good luck.
