call from Windows saying infection in Centralized Server

[ebailey810]

I received a call from someone saying he was from Windows and there is an infection in our centralized server. He asked me to RUN: eventvwr and indeed there are some 19,000 events with many warnings and errors listed in the Local log. He wanted to connect to my computer remotely. I have no idea if he really is with windows or not or if I do have an infection. Can you advise please?

No, that is a SCAM - do not except the call again and do not allow anyone you don't know or have not contacted yourself to remotely connect to your computer.
