Did you receive a received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft and saying that you have a Virus?
you should know that
If you have not opened an incident (ticket for Support) with Microsoft, they do not contact you.
Cybercriminals often use publicly available phone directories, so they might know your name and other personal information when they call you. They might even guess what operating system you're using.

Once they've gained your trust, they might ask for your user name and password or ask you to go to a legitimate website (such as www.ammyy.com) to install software that will let them access your computer to fix it. Once you do this, your computer and your personal information are vulnerable.

Do not trust unsolicited calls. Do not provide any personal information.

Help stop cybercriminals by reporting information about your phone scam.

In the United States, use the FTC Complaint Assistant form.

Whenever you receive a phone call or see a pop-up window on your PC and feel uncertain whether it is from someone at Microsoft, don’t take the risk. Reach out directly to one of our technical support experts dedicated to helping you!

How to protect yourself and your Android phone from “Stagefright” virus

The recently identified “Stagefright” bug for Android devices makes those devices vulnerable to attacks. Hackers could send a MMS message to your phone number containing malware that will allow them to have complete control over your device and steal anything on it, including personal information such as credit card numbers and passwords.

To protect yourself and your phone, you must turn off automatic retrieval of MMS messages in your default messaging app. The following instructions should help you do this though you may find that settings on your phone are slightly different.

1. Open your default messaging app. This is the app that delivers text messages to your device, as well as picture and video MMS messages.

• If you are not sure which app is your default messaging app, go into your phone’s settings, under the Wireless & Networks section, select “More” and look for “Default messaging app”. Your default app should be displayed. In some samsungs it is under "More Connection Settings"

2. Once your default messaging app is open, go to settings and find the option for auto-retrieving multimedia MMS messages. This may be under the “advanced settings” option depending on the messaging application you use.

3. Uncheck or deselect the option so that auto-retrieve is turned off.

Turning off auto-retrieve will protect your device. You will now have control over whether or not to download pictures and videos that come with MMS messages sent to you. If you are sent a message and do not recognize the number,
!!!DO NOT OPEN THE MESSAGE! DELETE IT!

Updates on this issue will be posted as they become available.
