Got a call last night from a "Microsoft" worker saying my computer was sending notifications. Samed my computer as an HP and that my name was "Laurie"...both wrong. He called my husband 2 hours before. BOTH of us let this guy into our computers via "teamviewer" in the "run" on our computers. He DID NOT give me a case number or tell me that the phone call was being recorded. He did, however, say my computer was showing only 1-8% CPU usage and throwing off over, 2000 errors. Wanted to sell me $120.00 worth of antivirus software for one year and $210.00 worth for a lifetime. HOAX. I told him to get off my computer. I said I would think about it and hung up.
