Hi All
Just had a phone call from some one saying they were from Windows and that they had received messages fro my computer of a threat,
She wanted me to open my computer so she could fix the problem.
Sounded suspicious as she asked for a Mrs which non of my computers are in my wife's name.
I asked her to send me an email with her contact details on it, no email has come.
I put a scan on the computer and it came up with 15 threats one serious.
These were removed and surprisingly the computer speeded up.
May have been genuine but I have my suspicions.
Just a warning
Regards
Ted
