I don’t have trouble logging one, but sometimes I get so many popups there is only a couple of lines that I can see.
When WikiLeaks provided their document dump, I watched some you tube videos from links that were on various threads. During that time, I got two phone calls in a 2 week period.
The person said that they were getting a warning signal from my computer and that I needed to pull up my computer and follow their directions while they stayed on the phone to fix the problem.
I told them that my computer didn’t have any problems, and I thought that they needed to mind their own business and hung up. On the second call, I also added that they should not call again, or I would be reporting them to law enforcement.
While it’s a likely coincidence, it was a bit perturbing.
You're not the only one. There are several Freepers who have gotten similar calls.
Usually it's the guy from India (I asked him where he was) who says he works for Microsoft and their 'logs' show all these 'errors' on my computer.
Twice he called, and both times I enjoyed playing along with his 'solution'. Of course, I was only using functions that displayed things, and never did anything he asked that I knew would modify my computer.
When he would ask me how many of 'this' or 'that' showed up on my computer, I would make up numbers.
Since his reaction was always the same ("OH, MY GOD") I knew he was lying about everything and after tiring of his games, I would hang up.
