I was told these people were from bigpond and same thing as everyone else my computer was infected. Do not believe these people

A call I received earlier this evening matches most of the details others have mentioned.
The call started very amateurishly, as I never give my name when I answer, and also we are on the "do not ring" register.
I voiced my serious doubts to the man calling from India, after he gave me his speil about Microsoft having referred them, and was fobbed off with fast incomprehensible patter. Even when I said that I use up to date antivirus software and antimalware and have fixed my families computers for over twelve years, and that the sirname and address they were calling me was the one used only in the phonebook for our landline. It is not mine or the one I use to register software, warrantees etc., I was told a lot more fearsome "facts" which didn't make any tech. sense, then directed click by click to open the administrative events log. I heard melodramatic noises when reporting the number of yellow triangles etc. as he'd asked. I could clearly see what they really were, but was told not to click on or even hover over them...When I refused to go any further with his next intructions with "LogMeIn", I was "handed over" to his superior. She too had innacurate explanations, and answered her own rhetorical questions with a "yes", then I was directed (as if to a beginner), to observe what was going on with what I know to be my CPU.She said it should be running at 75% or higher. As I had only one browser window minimised in my tray, and the display was happily showing 1 to 2% I accused the "More senior technician"/Indian woman who said her name was Hersh Smith- of being a scammer, and managed to finish then hang up politely, even though by then I was extremely annoyed.

I received a call from Tamara advising that my computer was infected from all the down loading I had been doing. I never mentioned this to her. I had just finished reading about similar scams in our local paper about an hour earlier so I was not tricked. for a minute ..although I led her on for about 15 minutes to see what the scam was all about. I asked where she was ringing from and she said India.
In the end I asked for a phone number and web site address which brought me here.
Run a decent anti spyware program to check for infiltration if you gave permission to remotely control your computer.
Professional looking web sites are no guarantee of authenticity ..it is easy to do web sites with a bit of knowledge.
In future use a sandbox if you want solid on line

got a call from "dexter half an hr or so ago, seemed very helpful, told me of viruses on my computer wanted access to fix them, showed me what they are then tried to sell me software warranty for 299 for one yr and also a payment plan over 4 years of 99 dollars every 6 months!

guys this guys r based in kolkata,INDIA......they do nt have any legal documents to do business.......they r just scam......

HEY... yes it is a scam... i was called by someone exactly the same way about 30 minutes ago. He demanded that i open up my computer because i have MAL files on it, but my computer is completey protected. I didnt trust him from the word go. I started hammering him with questions about everything he was saying... and like yeah Im no idiot. So i thought id google his website and write scam after it and i seen your msn on here with the phone number you have posted, i called it and the same guys answered when i rang.

Definitely  a scam, do not trust these phone calls!

Just received a call from an Indian chap calling himself Ron Williams. When asked gave his number as 028014759.  Same story as a lot of other people, was told that my PC is infected etc etc.  Would not say how he knew my PC was infected, just that his Data Research Dep told him.  Eventually got rid of him by telling him my number is lidted on the no call register, which it is.
