Would "Microsoft" or "Window's Tech Care" call you at home to tell you that you have a virus and to help clean your computer??
NO! It is a scammer! Do not believe them! It is your OWN responsibility to keep your computer clean and to do regular scans to make sure that your computer stays clean and keep your anti-virus updated as well as make sure that your anti-virus program is legit.

If you get a phone call that says something similar to "They said hello. We're with Window's Tech Care and we've received notification that your computer has a virus, and I said 'well, how do you know that?' and they said my computer had contacted them at their company," DO NOT BELIEVE THEM! Hang up on them. You can even say "you are a scammer and I do not believe in your claim" and then hang up but what ever you do do NOT give them access to your computer or give them any login's or passwords or any other private information!
