Asked me to Click on Start Button lower left, Right Click on Computer, Click Manage, brings you to Computer Management Screen. Click Event Viewer, Custom Views, Administrative Events log...WOW allot of Red Errors and Yellow Warnings. For $134 they will fix the infection and monitor for 1 year. How did you get my phone number? Why was there nothing issued from Microsoft? What is your phone # and I'll call back?
I'm not giving out a credit card number to someone calling me. I called a friend who has a computer store that I've had work on my computer and relayed the story to him. SCAM. I would have been out 100 of dollars. The log of errors is basically nothing, time delays or lost/slow info.
Just passing this along....I mean you see RED, Error, Warning and you believe infection and perhaps this could be legit? Until they ask for $$$

They might also put a virus onto your computer when you permit them remote access.
We got another virus on our computer last Sunday or so and I lost four days of posting on TOTV.
