MS called back 39 minutes ago. Indian-accent lady telling me my MS Windows PC is transmitting error messages.
I held her on the line for 29 minutes while she told me my rundll32 files are corrupted according to MS. Finally told her that my MS pc is NOT connected to the internet but is used strictly as a controller for electronic equipment. Told her my main pc is a Red Hat Linux machine. She gave me the number listed which is MS in Canada... Don't be fooled into making any changes that these scammers suggest!

A very polite young man (sounded from India) said he was calling from the "service department." Before he could say another word, I'd hung up and blocked him. Just before he called, I'd read a long New York Times article about all the scams originating in India. They include IRS-is-coming-to get-you, your-computer-is-infected, and many more. The bottom line is, they will do ANYTHING to get your money!
