There's an OK button at the bottom. Where's my "not OK" button? Looks plenty genuine to me and I have hundreds of excess dollars in my pocket to waste. What could go wrong if I called the number?
Killing the badly faked error message, telling Edge not to allow any more pop-ups from this site I see our webpage is err3.99398.info. This person thought he had a legitimate Microsoft error message and he was just looking at a rogue webpage, courtesy of the new safer Edge browser. This happens on Firefox and Chrome too, but less often. The bad guys are very resourceful nowdays.
At least this computer appears not to be really infested, subject to scanning to verify. I'll keep you posted on Edge.
