The caller wanted me to download the company's software which it says would enable me it to do a remote check and clearance.I am suspicious ! Is this company and its software trustworthy ? Does it contain a virus and/or spyware ?1 person needs an answerI do too

Don’t fall for phony phone tech support !Cybercriminals have started calling people on the telephone, claiming to be support pros for security, and offering to help solve their computer problems. Once cybercriminals have gained a victim's trust, they can do one or more of the following:· Trick people into installing malicious software on their computer.· Take control of a victim's computer remotely and adjust settings in order to leave the computer vulnerable.· Request credit card information so that cybercriminals can bill for the phony services.Treat all unsolicited phone calls with skepticism.
