There's a new warning out there of a scam. Apparently, said scammers are cold calling people and saying that they're from Microsoft and that Microsoft has determined that there is a virus on the machine, so they are calling to 'help' them clean their virus up by either (a) getting access to their comptuer or (b) to redirect the poor sap of a victim to a phishing site or one that delivers malware.
Okay - maybe I'm not giving people the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure that there would be many people that would so be so naive to think that there's a chance in hell that Microsoft goes around offering to help people. But still...really?
