I received a land-line call this afternoon from a Mid Eastern accented gentleman claiming to be Alex Martin from "Windows Support." He claimed my computer was infected with a virus and that I should follow his instructions to clear it up. I thought it was strange that Microsoft would be calling by phone to give me that bit of advice, and not even knowing my name or address! At any rate, if you happen to hear from this gentleman, or the lady in the background directing phone traffic, his name is Alex Martin ( I am certain that is not his real name) and his "associate reference number is A/M9330. and his phone number that he directed me to call back at a later time is 1-646-810-6453...which is a phone number in New York City!
Be aware and have a nice day everyone!

I have post questions and I have never received an answer from them, which I am think is that there are no real people reading this.
Some of my previous questions where:
How to shut down a Windows 8 pc? There is no start menu and I pull the plug from the wall to shut down, which others have told me is not good.
If there is no way to shut down windows 8, how can I go back to Windows Xp since it had a shut down option.

Etc etc
Please provide an answer to at least these questions,
Another question is that bing keeps telling me that the certification is for another site and not Bing and it is not safe to proceed. Why is Bing not use the correct certification and is it safe to proceed? Or should I block Bing all together?
Another question is how to bypass admin control to install IE 10 since it keeps telling me that I am using an older browser? It is blocked by admin group to use IE6 only. Any help would be appreciated.
