Hi:
My wife and I have received three phone calls from people
identifying themselves as Microsoft employees telling us that our
computer is sending error messages and that our security has been
compromised - that a third party is using our network for
nefarious purposes. They have offered to assist us to solve the
problem by giving us step-by-step instructions as we sit by the
computer. My stepson admits to torrenting music, books, and
movies, and has been suspicious that we are being hacked. My
wife and I sense that these calls are suspicious, and wonder what
you-all think about this.
Thanks, Peter
