Microsoft Phone scam

Recently we received a phone call from "Microsoft Security" and, unfortunately, the person who is answering the phone enabled the appellant to have remote access to our computers. We have 3 additional computers which are connected wireless through our router and I am not computer savvy. I don't know, but are 3 other computers at risk for this potential virus that may or may not have been downloaded on the other computer?

We changed all of our passwords to Web sites that we can think that have our credit and banking information and take the Tower of the computer that was available since to check, but is there something else to do more?

All advice is appreciated!

Hello

Don't forget to contact your company to Bank and credit card as the PERP may try to access
your accounts directly.

Reinstalling Windows (or back to return to the State of out-of-the-box) would be good to do.
Back up data and be prepared to re - install programs.

No, Microsoft wouldn't you not solicited. Or they would know if errors exist on your
computer. So that's the fraud or scams to get your money or worse to steal your identity.
