  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

They asked for $246 as my Microsoft anti virus was expired, I told them I didn't have any money, but they could help me... I said that I could pay in 2 weeks.

But I still have problems with windows updates, firefox plant all the time I use especially it is good that told me to use firefox.

  Very bad. You have been scammed.

  This is a scam and that is becoming more and more common lately. But even worse, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what confidential information they stole.

  So, I highly recommend that you do both of the following immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

  2. change all your passwords, especially all of banks or other financial sites.
