Slim cleaner-is this legitimate?
I recently downloaded cleaner slim and im not familiar with it, but I was just curious to know, is this legit software? is this a scam or a virus? should I remove it and not use it? He did a scan on my computer and found a lot of questions but I'm looking for more information before I open pandoras box.
Thank you for your time and your efforts
If the software is legitimate is not really the issue, is whether the use of such a program is necessary, MS usually generally discourage the use of this type of cleaning programs, because they can cause more problems than they fix.
Most of the actions are already carried out by Windows itself.
Personally would not / do not use and most MS specialist does not recommend the use of this type of program.

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

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.
Is - is this legitimate?Its a scam. A well known and long-lasting. Microsoft will never ask you for personal information (they already have them) and you never call cold. Nor do they send messages of anti virus - and they do not have to connect to your machine. NEVER allow anyone to connect remotely to your machine.They are the partners who do this nor Microsoft does not only
