a weird phone number showed up on my cell phones caller id this morning, so i didn't answer. they left a message and it was some lady from microsoft calling for me. she just wanted me to call them back and didn't say why but knew my full name. what could this be about, i mean do they randomly just call people ? i mean i did sign up and download server 2008 a few months ago, but i've since uninstalled it.

Do a reverse phone number search and see what comes up.....

no my vista is legit / no pirated copy or anything.

didn't know they would contact you even if your copy was pirated ?

all i know is she knew my first name, so i guess it had to be about the server 2008 download ? im not calling back anyways, i hate sales people.

What if she wanted to offer freebies?

If Microsoft is anything like Apple, which we all know they aren't ;), when someone saves a cart on the Apple Store site a rep will call them to see if there is any questions or help required in order to help them through the purchase. I'd bet this is something similar, trying to get your thoughts on the evaluation software you downloaded. :)

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
