I have received numerous call in the past several days regarding a warning that someone is hacking our computer. They profess that they are the Windows department that has the program capable of discovering the hackers before they strike and use information contained in our computer. They claim they do not charge for their services. They encouraged me to access my computer so they could guide me in preventing this hacker activity. I do not feel they are illegitimate and hang up on them. This morning the same man called back and wanted to know why I hung up on him.
