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
