How does this work?
I received a telephone call from an almost incoherent non-English caller who suggested that my computer was 'slow'.
He suggested (correctly) that I was using my computer (how would he know - or was it a guess?) and that I should press a sequence of keys (I think it was the Windows key followed by the letter R).
Of course, I didn't follow his advice, but, my question is, given that I access the internet via a router on the BT telephone line, would he have been able to tell that I was 'surfing'?
Is it feasible that he was calling from my ISP (Virgin.net) or was it a random attempt to usurp my connection?
What sequence would have given him control?
