Person wwith East Indian accent claiming to work for Windows. Wants me to let him enter my PC to rid me of a trojan horse.

indian voice claiming to work for micosoft who wanted to get in my pc to fix it.
What an [***].
i can't believe anyone is still falling for this scam.

I had 5 calls over the last 3 days from this number.  I asked which company they represented and did not get an answer.  They kept telling me that my computer was sending error messages.  Funny, I have been using my iPad for communicating and my PC has not been turned on for a month.

Just annoying this person calls at all hours when I am work at night.

There dead giveaways here:

1)  the area code - there is no "134" in the U.S.
2)  Indian accent = Indian scammer.
3)  Microsoft will NEVER call you to "service" your computer.

For anyone who doesn't already know (and there are people who don't), they do not want to remove a virus from your computer....they want to INSTALL one.  If you give them remote access to your machine, you will end up with malware, or even worse, ransomware (they'll lock your machine and all your data, and demand payment to unlock it).  Anyone who gives these clowns access to their computer is opening themselves up for a world of hurt!  Don't fall for it.

Good way to get rid of them if you have the misfortune of talking to them....tell them you have a Mac or you're running Linux OS.  They'll hang up faster than you can say "jack rabbit".  They can only infect a Windows machine.  You may hear a few choice curse words on the way out (it's their M.O.), but they're unlikely to call you again if they realize they're barking up a dead tree.

these [***] from India have been calling for years pretending to work for Microsoft. They are grifters trying to sell people access to free antivirus software. Do not talk to them or they will never go away. My GF does not even have a computer and they will not believe her and keep calling. They are criminals.
