Scammer attempt through Firefox on Vista operating system.

[Guest MichaelBrewster1]

I just had a scammer attack; called the 800 number provided; it sounded fishy so I hung up without providing any information. However, it looked for a moment as if my cursor was moving by itself and there was a message at bottom left of screen saying "transferring.google". Did they actually take control of my computer? I am using the old Vista operating system and using Firefox to access the internet. Webroot scan shows no viruses. Is a new computer my only solution? Mine will not allow Windows 10 download.
