Windows 10: ultraviewer Trojan virus, Identity theft, IP replication scam

Today while going through My feed of Microsoft edge I clicked on some sort of news like some celebrities might not be rich. Upon clicking it a tab opened with a pop-up asking me to reach out 1 866 306 6070 my laptop was infected by Trojan virus closing the browser or shutting down laptop may result in identity theft or data loss.

Is Ultraview a scam program?

UltraViewer is just a remote support software. Itself not a scam or harmful program. But the technician who contacted you may be a scammer. So do not allow him to remote control your computer if you could not verify his identification.

 

Is Ultraview a scam program?

I just had a phone call from 1-866-978-4891. It was someone with what sounded like an Indian accent telling me my Windows key had expired. In answer to my question, he said he was from Tech Support and was going to help get me to someone who could get
me an updated key so that I wouldn't lose all my info. He had me run ms config to confirm that he was legit. He then had me install either Ultraview or Ultraviewer. I asked what it was, and he said it was so a supervisor in Tech Support could remotely access
my computer and get it working again with an updated key. When he connected me, the next guy told me it would be $100 for 3 years, and when I asked more detailed questions, like why was I still able to use my computer and get into my MS programs, he got angry
and said he had other calls coming in and was going to end the call. I asked if I shouldn't be able to call MS myself to verify, and he said fine, but my computer was going to be wiped of all info within 4 hours and hung up. I deleted the program from my desktop,
then went to Control Panel to uninstall it, but I couldn't find it. I need to know if I was scammed and what to do about it. I already filed a scam form via Windows Support, but couldn't get to a human.
