    Hehe I've just had one of those phone calls from a very nice gentleman in India telling me that I have all these files on my computer that are bad for it and he can help me take care of it.
    He got fed up in the end because I wouldn't press the keys he told me to and he cut me off, how rude.

    Next time after leading them on tell them your tablet has Android.
    Then ask them if they can help you install Windows 7 on your tablet.

    These nice gentlemen should try to call someone in India itself.They would get the choicest words as answers.

    It's the first time I've had one of those type of calls, I thought it was quite amusing, at the beginning when he told me to go to my desktop he wanted to know if I had a black screen, I said no Facebook so he again told me to press Ctrl and the Windows key. Everytime I asked him what would happen if I pressed the keys he'd just start at the beginning again and tell me I had all these nasties on my computer, didn't make any difference when I told him that I didn't.

    I've no idea, he could have been saying to add some other key along with that but I couldn't understand him that well and wasn't taking that much notice of him.
