She was getting you to look at your "Services". On a completely healthy computer, you'll still have more than half of them in a 'Stopped' state. It isn't necessary or desirable for them to be 'Started' unless there is a need for them.

So what you're looking at is completely normal, and is an easy method these scammers use to prey on people.
