    Windows warning of ID theft

    Yesterday l had the fright of my life when my computer suddenly froze with a warning that my ID and security had been compromised and to call Microsoft within 5 minutes to get assistance to secure my computer from the Trojan virus.
    There was this blaring voice and siren. I did stupidly call the number but it was busy.
    Anyway despite being warned not to I switch my laptop off.
    It is still switched off, anyone know if this is a scam?
    Anyone know what l should do?
