Not an arty sibject but just to warn folk. Last Thursday this so called IT savvy old git answered an incredibly plausible phone call purporting to be from Microsoft. I won't bore you the details but it was horrid, went on into Friday and I was very nearly done. However - worried and scared I went to my bank. They told me they get at least 1 a week of a classic scam. My computere people laghed their socks off when I took it in and now it's just home after being re-formatted and given upsates.
Be careful out there folks, don't answer any phone calls from them at all!
