original title: How can these callers say they are receiving messages from my computer that are telling them I have  malicious junk that could crash my sytem?

I have been getting calls from (a person claiming to be a Windows Operating Systems Tech) who speaks very bad english and wants to run a Free test to show me that I have problems..  While it is true right at this moment my Internet Explorer is running slow,

I have installed Windows Essentials and my local tech tells me that is fine..     I do not spend a lot of time "surfing" - I have other things to do with my computer time...  Is this a scam ?  or is it for real?
