1) With all the publicity for Windows 10, and with the anticipation of waiting for Microsoft to get to you with the upgrade files, many people may get an Email purporting to be from Microsoft to do the upgrade. Microsoft is NOT distributing the files via Email.  See a related article here >>  You may be getting a virus that will lock you out of ALL you files!
[There is a legitimate way to get the files needed to upgrade to Windows 10 (‘jump the line’), but that is beyond the scope of this Email.]

2) Microsoft will NEVER call you by telephone to tell you that you have a virus. These scammers are very convincing. As soon as you hear them say that they are from Microsoft (usually in a foreign accent) and that you have a virus, IMMEDIATELY hang up the phone. That’s the beast way to handle this.
