Al Lustie's Tips and Tricks

I have written before about the persistent scam that goes like this:
  you get a phone call from someone claiming to be "from Windows" or a subcontractor for Microsoft, or some such thing.  The person claims your computer has reported a number of viruses.

It's a scam.  How-To-Geek has a great report  on an actual call.  Go to this link to read about it.

Or, just ignore such calls.

Do NOT pay anyone any money, or give them control of your computer unless you know them or have solid reason to trust them.
