Just now someone with a Jamaican or original African accent called my home telling me that they are from Microsoft and that they have been monitoring my activities and have deemed that my computer is severely infected. They wanted to be courteous and access my computer remotely to fix the problems for free. Of course, I gave them some explicitives and hung up on them.

This is to server as a warning that do not trust who ever calls you on the phone and much less do not give them access to your computer if they call you. The call sounded very distance and the accent was very distinct. Do not fall prey to these predators.

But, Oscar, wouldn't a native African be the expert on severe infections?

HIV anyone? :) No? :(

I have purchased over a hundred and fifty grand worth of software from Microsoft over the years, and after all this time I have yet to even have a single f-ing phone call from them say thank you for your business.
