Hacking Phone Call

I just received a phone call from a New York number
1-212-438-7895
Identified on my caller ID as McGraw Hill Co

Naturally assuming that they wanted to interview me for one of their publications I answered the call.

A heavily accented voice (India) informed me that they had gotten numerous reports of computer hacking in my area and I was being alerted so as to taking protective action ASAP.

I agreed so far (being naturally curious). She advised me not to turn on the internet but to simply turn on my computer and she would take me through the step by steps to protect myself.

I instead asked her to please send me the instructions via E-mail and hung up.

She immediatly called me back and left a message on my answering machine why I do not understanding the instructions.

anybody care to call her and translate the instructions for me ?
