Hi all, The article from Windows Secrets news letter (one I've been receiving for many years) at: http://windowssecrets.com/top-story/security-alert-bogus-tech-support-ph one-calls/ not only describes a scam in which you are called by a fony tech support agent, but provides many links for free products from MS which will analyze your pc settings to be sure they are set for the "safest" operation of Windows. It will notify you if not, and optionally change the settings.
