Received scam call from Virtual PC Doctor, is there any threat to my PC security?

I was called by Virtual PC Doctor around 2.00 pm today. They knew my name, address and telephone number, and went through their usual pitch. When they asked me to go over to my computer and tell them what was on the screen, I told them I needed to check them out before we went any further, and ended the call. Is there any other action I need to take to preserve my security?

Hi Masked Bandit,
 
Microsoft will not make unsolicited calls to help you with your computer. Make sure you hang up the phone the next time you receive such calls.
