security warning

That's just a fake alert... a so called Tech Support scam. If you would have called that phone number those scammers would have tried to sell you their unneeded services/products/whatever. They might have lured you into letting them have remote access to
your computer etc etc.

Please know that all such alerts/warnings with a phone number to call are always scams.

Do you have a good adblocker? If not, you should get one soonest.

Personally, I use the browser extension uBlock Origin which blocks all kinds of unwanted stuff....
