Yes, same thing. got a call from a man with accent claiming to be a technician with MS Windows. He says my computer has recently downloaded malicious software. And they keep calling threating to shut the computer down if we don't use them.
They can not shut your computer down unless you actually allow them to access it. The whole thing is a huge scam anyway! all they want is your money! They have no way of knowing whats going on with your computer and No legitimate company cold calls like this.
The only persons who should be touching your computer is you, your manufacturer, Real Windows support that you have called and/or maybe a real live tech you see face to face!
