I should have thought of this but alas, neither it nor the two of them
did anything (except send a coded message to MS that I'm a
trouble-maker. This sort of thing is why someone called me a week ago
to say that my Windows license had been suspended.).

Did he have an Asian accent, and ask you to run such-and-such a tool so
he could take control of your machine to help you "fix" it (-:?

No accent! Other than American. It was, a recorded message which I in
turn recorded on my answering machine so a) I didn't hear all of it, b)
I'm going to let the two machines sort it out. My answering machine
has more business sense than I do.
