VerifiedHi, my name is ***** ***** I'll be assisting you today.
That was a bogus call by a malicious party not associated with Microsoft or Windows in any way. They cold call unsuspecting users and provide false alerts to trick them into paying for their scam. Did you allow them to connect to your computer and/or provide them with any financial info?

Hi John, Thank you for your expertise and, more important, for your kindness because they make me, almost, look forward to my next computer problem. After the next problem comes, I'll be delighted to correspond again with you. I'm told that I excel at programing. But system administration has never been one of my talents. So it's great to have an expert to rely on when the computer decides to stump me. God bless, Bill
