THIS IS A SCAM. I got a call from this company saying my computer is about to crash. These people have a very thick Indian accent so it is hard to understand them. They imply they work for or with Microsoft. They claim they are getting messages that my computer is infected with a virus and is about to crash. These are non-technical people trying to convince you to look at your Windows Event Viewer and that anything in there is an indication of a serious problem with your computer. This is not true. Their eventual goal is to sell you an over priced service you don't need. I played along until they wanted me to click something on their website (remote support). I would not do that because then you really could get a virus really installed. I am more technical than their are.
They are fear mongers trying to scare people into giving them money for help that is not needed. I wish there was a place I could report them.
