Windows 10: I got a pop up on my screen saying it was blocked and to call a technician on screen to fix it

I was watching a movie when I got a pop up saying my pc got blocked and to call a tech to unblock it. I called and during the screening process where they installed a software. I hanged up and knew something was wrong. How do I make sure they haven't hacked into my laptop. I deleted the files they installed and unsure if they got a hold on my info. Would like some advice!

:)

 

Is there a simple way to adjust (change) my web site rating when I get a pop up block?
