My computer got a box warning that I have been ca[captured by a virus called Zeus. I was told not to shut off my computer and call this number and they would be able to get the virus off my computer. I called the number and they stated that they were a contractor for Microsoft and that if I had them take care of the Virus they would only charge me for the software used to fix the computer. You do the mathe Virus warning, phone call and $'s to fix my computer. Guy had an east Indian accent, who would have guessed that.I exited the warning and called my company that I have a contract to maintain my computer and in 10 minutes they got rid of the virus. Do not let these guys to this sort of thing all the time. I believe they call it Ransom ware.

I was using my computer and I received a message that my computer had been locked because of a Zeus virus. They also told me that they were contractors for Microsoft and would remove the virus from the computer. It was also the the guy with an Indian accent. He tried to scam me. Did not work!
