    Computer locked with Microsoft security alert.

    Computer is locked with MicroSoft security alert. I have Chrome OS. I tried control shift escape but nothing happened. It didn't open task manager. The number to call listed as 877 570 7676. Lots of flashing.. and voice encouraging me to not shut down, etc. How do I get out of this? I don't use any Windows

    Fake Virus Alert Popups with Edge browser

    Check that the tab it starts with is unpinned. When that site opens click the lock icon in address bar and block notifications. Just some suggestions.

    Microsoft alert saying my computer is locked due to a virus

    Virus alert from microsoft edge

    Hello jodemo,

    The alert you received about virus is a common scam. We suggest that you close Microsoft Edge immediately. Make sure not to restore the sessions when you reopen Microsoft Edge.

    In addition, we highly recommend you to follow the steps provided by Bruce Hagen MVP on this
    thread link.

    Hope this information helps you. Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
