Got a call from this outfit saying that I had reached a certain threshold in "Error reports" and I needed to rus my malware program to avoid the dreaded bluescreen. Is this legit?

Sounds like some one trying to scam money from you by offering a service or software to fix your computer.

Well that was my impression. I didn't verbally abuse this guy but I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to call that crazy oilpatcher in Wyoming again...

Thanks guys, they had talked to Jani, and when hey got to the I need access to your computer she told them to go F&^% YOURSELF. (she's soooooo shy). I didnt even let the guy get that far, told the guy just cause I don't know what's going on inside my computer doesn't mean I don't know what's going on inside your head.....he had to leave then.
