Windows rescue team
Hello
I received a call from a woman attached to a team called Windows Rescue team. When I told her off the coast, she threatened to unplug my internet because I have a few worms and malware that infect other computers and they got my CSL of Windows computers to contact me. She passed me on an another COMPUTER expert who said he works for the company with a website "www.it-councilor.com". He asked me to trust him and do something to my computer to get rid of this malware. Microsoft Windows hiring the aforementioned company to work for them? Windows block or stop the use of the internet to a Windows user?

How determine if a Windows Live team, send "Account Alert" is real or spam?
In the (not so distant) past, I received (and completely) ignored mail, I was unable to discern really came from the Windows Live team. They claim that they are overcrowded and eliminate people have hotmail email accounts and I was among the elect. I'm afraid that this may be spam comes from (1) the past, similar e-mail unanswered, I received I did not had any effect on my account remains open and active and (2) if they are in fact compensation on free accounts, why then contain a list of very personal information to be completed and returned to them? Can someone please help, because I don't want my account to be closed? Others receive similar emails? Any insight and answers are greatly appreciated.

The idea is in the links embedded in the headers of enamel and the request for information by e-mail

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.

A recovery disk contains tools and information that can be used to 'recover' your system using the information stored on your hard drive.

The key is that the recovery disc uses a lot of information on your hard drive.
