This sounds liek a variant of the widespread scam that has been going on for a time. Likely if you speak to them they will offer to help get rid of the problem by talking you through some tasks on your PC that will give them remote access to it.

I get these calls often They usually claim to be BT Openreach. Two points - Openreach do not talk directly to end users, and secondly since I am with Virginmedia BT is not involved.
