scam ??

Options
Hi I just recieved a phone call from a man claiming to be from windows he didnt give me his name and it was an out of area number, he asked to speak to the lady of the house i told him he was, he then went on to talk quite fast about how my comp was causing major probs with something (couldnt quite catch what he said but he did use the word server somewhere along the line).He told me to turn my comp on and press first the ctrl button then the windows button i told him that my comp was already on and that if he was indeed from windows that he would already know that it was on at this point I hung up the phone. The whole thing just didnt seem right is this a new scam of sorts and has anyone recieved a call like this.
