I know my stuff.

1. it is very trivial to fake a caller id and number, in other words, the number isn't real and most likely is being routed through internet just like vonage or skype. Possibly from from overseas, next door, anwhere. The phone company that switched the call from internet to normal telephone would have to track it. This company could also be anywhere. Don't waste your time reporting it to the FCC, FBI, local LE, etc. They can't track it down without a major muscle movement.

2. the caller wants you to go to a bad website. websites can have malicious code that execute just by loading a page. I'm guessing in this case the code makes computers run poorly. This is to blackmail/trick unsavvy users into giving over credit card information for a "antivirus fix" that won't work. This is called scareware.

3. keep your computer patched, enable automatic updates, use the latest browser (ie 6 guarantees malware), upgrade to a new OS(xp guarantees malware), use something like secunia psi to update applications.

4. the best solution is to record the website, do not actually go to it. then report it to on of the following:

6. j/k :)

Male caller said he was from computer repair company and my compter was transmitting errors. He has called several times the other times he had blocked number. He will try to access your computer remotely. I guess to install keylogger.

It was a guy he said that I had problems or viruses with my computer ,that was that no name he phoned here at noon.I said hello .
