    Windows Defender Security Center Pop UP Warning

    I received a Windows defender security center warning that states my computer has been locked up due to my IP address being used without my knowledge. The audio message says to call 217-282-5011. I presume this is a scam. How do I get rid of this box that popped up and continues to repeat the issue continuously.
