She or one of her co-scammers will probably call back. They are selling a fake malware removal service.
The way it works, they talk you into giving them remote access to your computer. They run a "scan" and find tons of malware. They then charge you $$$ to remove it. But it wasn't there to start with. In scanning your computer they installed that and more. And when they clean it out they'll leave stuff that lets them use your computer to distribute spam. Or maybe they'll just harvest all of your passwords and empty your bank account.
Next time they call tell them you don't have a computer.
