Thanks for your response,
I dialled Microsoft advertised numbers which is very frustrating as all just refer me to a form that does not function or to MS website with the same form.
I connot be sure but it was one of these numbers:132058,138400 or131546 which led me to 4V IT Services.
I had a pop up om my screen that stated Defender scan was aborted and to contact a number that was not a MS number so I tried to contact MS. one of the above numbers connected me to Shabhan of V4 It Sevices in Victoria. Thinking he was a MS rep. I allowd him access and he scanned my system and found many errors which seem ligit to me as my PC was running very slow. HE offered to fix giving me 3 options : 1 time fix about $270, 3 month service and protection about $350 and I cannot remember the 3rd option. He wanted me to sign up immediately but I would not until I had checked him out.
I checked the company online and it seeems to be legit and has many favourable reports?
I have asked him to resubmit a quote for the immediate fix as he has left me with a 3 month offer.
Unless you advise to the contrary I am tempted to pay for him to fix the problems. I cannot contact MS for help so waht else can I do?
I thought as MS is blocking contact it mat have sourced out it's support funtions.
I cannot locate the actual pop up now as I do not know where to look or how to find it. V4 IT is listed on the web.
Please advise if I should go ahead or how I may best resolve my system problems.
Thanks for your help,
Best day,
John Smith
