  No, it's a scam, ignore the call.

  Just hang up, they are trying to steal your information or to install a virus on your PC.

• Phone scam received call from a technician who said my system was infected

  I am gullible who maybe went too far with the Indian phone call. As I was using my laptop at the time, it was too easy to believe.
  Although I was getting suspicious, I actually entered a code provided by the appellant, to allow the "technician" to advise by online chat. Then I stopped. I'm afraid that may have infected my XP Pro system. I have temporarily restored the system to a date before the call. Is that enough, or should I re install XP from scratch? Also, what is the risk of my main computer, running 7 and not in use at the time being affected?
  What other corrective measures should I take?
  What precautions should I take with respect to online banking?
  Any advice greatly appreciated.

• A phone call to Microsoft technical support trying to supposedly help to fix a PC infection

  Hello

  FYI, I received a phone call in Somerville tonight of a number blocked a man with bad English. Maybe Indian, who claims to be from Microsoft Technical support telling me that he needed me to turn on my computer to correct an infection.  He gave me 213-221-3528 recalled, I tried, but does not seem to be a real company.  I think it was a con man.

• I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows saying that my computer has been infected.

  only, I was contacted by a person claiming to be windows saying that my computer has been infected and he called for help.  He hit me the windows and "R" key at the same time.  Then I typed in "eventvwr" and who showed me a list of some events with indicator red and yellow.  Then he wanted me to go back and enter "iexplore www.support.me", so he could fix my computer.  I became very suspicios and did not continue with his appeal.  Is it a hoax or someone really trying to help me?  Because I did not communicate with him, I feel that this is not a legitimate operation.  Thanks for your help.

• has received a phone call from an Asian-sounding guy who said he was technical service Windows and my computer had been seriously infected

  original title: ideas: insert an error code or give a brief description of what you're trying to accomplish or difficult. _ I just got a phone call from an Asian-sounding guy who said he was technical service Windows and my computer had been seriously infected and he'd help me solve the problem.

Second, I don't know how he found my phone number, and thirdly, technical department Windows would be able to know my computer has been infected and then make a phone call for me. I just put the phone into believing this guy some kind of crook. Any help please?

  Yes, it is a complete and utter scam.  Assuming that you don't give them access to your computer, you're probably pretty course.  They are the so-called "canvassing" - selection of lists of random phone numbers and try to sell services and/or access to your computer.  You did the right thing, hang up on them.

• Received a phone call from someone who said that Microsoft has detected an infection "in my area".

  Original title: call suspicious

  I just got a phone call from a person informing him that Microsoft have detected an infection "in my area" and asked me to sign my PC and do things.

  When I challenged him name and a number, who they were and that I had installed Norton they were insistent they were Microsoft form and all the PCs in my house are currently as being at risk.  I informed this was not convenient as about getting out and they said they'd call me back on Monday morning, but to be careful using our pc of this weekend.
  I don't want to dismiss it completely just in case, can you advise if there is a current problem?

  Hello

  Phone calls

  Someone keeps phoning to tell me that there is a problem with my computer. They say they are windows and I could turn my computer and follow their instructions. At this point I simply hang up the phone as I suspect that they aren't what they say they are. Is this normal for windows to do this? Does anyone else have this problem?

• Phone call informs me that my computer is infected with malicious software; it's from Microsoft. Is it?

  A person claiming to be from Microsoft "Windows - something or other' phones me to force me to go online to give them access." they always say they will fix the problem (whatever that is). If I don't respect, the intruder software can damage the system. They do not specify the nature of the software.

  Background noises heard during the phone call, I think it's operation "boiler room" scam with the many other appellants works in the background.
  Someone else has met such unsolicited phone call?

  Without a doubt a scam (a quick search forums answer will show several similar positions). I hope that you did not have access to your computer.

• Received a call from phone scam someone saying my computer is infected with the virus and malware

  original title: support for pc rj

  I recently received a call from someone called Mark of pc rj support and they said that my computer is infected with viruses and malware. Immediately, I hang up and called my computer technician who went to my place and said: my computer is absolutely perfect... This chap Mark said he also is an employee of Microsoft, which I highly doubt. He asked me to download something that my antivirus detected as virus...

  I would like to ask microsoft to focus on this

  Its fake. Ignore it. There are a lot of posts here, saying: it's a scam. And this has nothing to do with Microsoft. And MS (and everyone else) are aware of this
