He said they would contact the police and the bank but I never gave him any information except that the bank was close and so were the police. Then he must have hung up. I gave them my name and spelled it.

I then ran a scrub using Windows. And then also used a 15 minute more extensive cleansing. And then put some other stuff on computer.

I did want to document this though. That is why I put it on Talk of the Villages as well as to keep it happening to others on Talk of the Villages.
Did you allow access to your computer? If you did take hammer to it. windows security about as go as sifter holding water.
