This isn't the first time i've had calls from here... The woman indicated that she was a "Microsoft support agency" and that's bull as far as i'm concerned... But, i thought i'd sting it along to see what they were after... She wanted me to sit in front of my PC, open the "Run" dialogue box and then type in eventvwr, this in turn opened the windows event viewer (windows XP) She was got me to click on the 'applications' and was interested in the amount of "Error" messages i had, to which i told her i had a few, I was then passed over to a 'male' supervisor who asked what the problems where. When i told him that the errors were down to a program i had intentionally disabled he hug up. I would love to know what there intentions are :-) But nothing surer, it's a con, or a scam of some sort... (or perhaps worse??)
