    Scam or Legit?

    Thank you. It stopped coming up. If it does again I'll post a picture. Glad to know it's a scam as I see in your other post.

    I had hoped it was. It was only on IE not Chrome which is why I was suspicious although it looked really legit as it sent me to a page to download Windows Repair. I didn't download it.

    Thanks again.

    Scam or legit call?

    Hi PaulFroehlich1 ,

    Microsoft will NEVER ever call. It is not legit, do not give them any info, or let them in your computer. Just hang up.

    Hope this helps.
