    One of these people woke me up at night once saying that they had reports that my PC had a virus etc etc ..... This was when I had just moved house and didn't have an internet connection.

    Funny thing was I told them that I had no internet and they still asked if they could remote access my PC to run various test

    A sticky? At this rate, it'll need its own forum.

    There's no reason why each person who gets a phone call needs a new thread. I guess the average PC user just doesn't listen, despite there being constant warnings about this sort of thing for years.
