There is a new scam going on right now, this time involving real people making phone calls that trick you into installing their virus software, and even paying them to "fix" your computer. Beware!

The scam always starts the same way: the phone rings at someone's home, and the caller – usually with an Indian accent – asks for the householder, quoting their name and address before saying "I'm calling for Microsoft. We've had a report from your internet service provider of serious virus problems from your computer."
