Format/reinstall from scratch , stay away from those sketchy websites and don't go installing software from dubious sources. And, as above, Microsoft doesn't do that. That was the scammer trying to dupe you out of your money.

Following through on that, he'd be triply screwed.


Call the number to get this eradicated.
The rep gets permission to log on to your system to eradicate.
1. Pay the $398.
2. He then scoops all the passwords and other juicy stuff he can from your system.
3. He also implants an actual malware or trojan.

In addition, the ZANG trojan is 15 years old, and easily defeated with Windows Defender.

You can try Malwarebytes app also, pretty good at handeling things like that.
