Windows 10: Why we scam get hack?

Do you think Windows' built-in Virus & Threat Protection is enough to safeguard my computer and data? I'm experiencing an issue where my mouse randomly double-clicks on its own. I've replaced the mouse, but the issue persists. After reinstalling Windows, it works fine for a few months, but the problem comes back. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Was I Hacked?

No, you were not hacked.

No, nobody can access your computer unless you allow access.

Microsoft will never call you out of the blue.

Best to just hang up on those scammers.

Hack Scam

I'm just mentioning this in case anyone else gets one. I went onto a link viaIE11
[seemed respectable - no MSN Warnings] for music downloads, and a
window appeared to say I'd been hacked, this hacker was trying to
hack "their" webpage and I had to call a free number listed to get my
Internet Explorer Unlocked
as "they" had had to lock it for "their safety". Needless to say I didn't call them, and
Win Def didn't find anything.

IE wasn't affected, either. How these scammers are linking to
Users perhaps only a technician can tell. There are numerous Help
Pages on the net to check if one has been hacked, and
they wouldn't have to coax one to phone them if they could penetrate MSN
defences via a web page. I haven't included any details because this particular scam is local.
