    My mother’s laptop “Your window is blocked because it is infected with trojan viruses and it is affecting Microsoft services.” The woman’s voice is repeating the message on a loop. The technical support number is 1-855-550-2599. Is this a scam?

    Microsoft alert scam

    No, I found out about the scam after I contacted the company whose phone number was listed on the alert and paid $49.99 to fix my computer.
