During the week of July 18 - 23 I have received several phone calls from an unknown source who claims my computer is being compromised and alerting them of this infraction.  Of course my computer is being protected by webroot and yes it's showing that viruses are being removed all the time in addition after these scans are verifying these viruses are removed successfully!  My concern is what is going on and if I should be concerned and if so, whah about?
Hello coolair5721, Welcome to the Webroot Community Forum. :D

 

Those phone calls are a scam. I've had a few this weekend also with them stating they were from Microsoft and my computer was infected. Don't give them any information, just hang up.

 

Good link to see if the caller is a scammer: http://800notes.com/

Hello coolair5721,

 

Welcome to the Community Forum.

 

If I could just add a little to ProTruckDriver's sound advice about scam calls, to say that I'm somewhat concerned to hear that you say you're getting infections that are being cleaned a lot.

When this happens, are they the same infections that are being repeatedly reported, or different ones?

 

If the answer is that they're different ones, then I'd recommend that you Submit a Support Ticket  and they will ensure that all is ok with your machine. The service is a free, additional part of your license.

 

If the reported infections are the same ones, then please post back with that info, or any questions. Thanks.

 
dont pay attention to these phony calls , there is nothing wrong with ur comp. if you agree to see whats wrong with ur comp with them they will tell you to hit a surton key and when you do they take over your comp and thenthey will infect it themself and then they tell you that to clean it you have to buy something from them and you dont its to late they will hold your comp hostage , so dont listen to that call agin ,
