Got a call from Peter Robinson who told me that he worked for microsoft and they received error messages from my computer and he needed to repair my computer at distance. I was not sure about that and asked him more information. He gave me this address: http://www.ammyy.com/en/ (he said that this company has a contract with microsoft). I stopped the discussion because seems very akward and took his phone number and this is how I found those previous message ...

Microsoft Office called saying there was a security issue with my computer requesting me to go into my Run command and type something in.
They've called over 6 times today, and kept insisting that if I don't do it, they will lock my computer. I told "Fred" I would call him back to make sure my security was protected. Called Microsoft directly and advised of the situation, and they confirmed that it was not them contacting me.
