Scam phone call claiming to be from Windows support

Applies To: Windows | Windows Vista | Security, Privacy, and User Accounts

original title: ammyy.com
I have just had a phone call from someone claiming to be from windows support claiming my computer has told them it's full of viruses. I was taken to a website called ammyy.com where the caller gained control of my computer and showed me my computer had 1000s of viruses apparently because I was running windows vista instead of windows 7 meaning my Mcafee security won't work properly. I was told it would normally cost £400 to remove viruses and upgrade to windows 7 but they could do it for £160. At this point I said I couldn't afford it so they offered to remove the viruses for £60. I again said no and at this point they hung up. Are ammyy.com a legit partner of windows? Is my computer full of 1000s of viruses? Will I have security issues after they have had remote control of my computer?  YES YOU WILL.
