Windows 10: Web browser keeps directing me to a site telling me my PC is affected

I was browsing on my new laptop when the screen was suddenly taken over by this web address https://****ssistance.site/redeix01-fgdf564564-vbbcv46-dsf56d4f56dxv-cxc564x-dfdsfds646xcx-xds7fs8456x-xxvx564x56ds-fvxdds49874/act/edgx01/.

The following appears on the screen with a womans voice telling me that there is a serious problem with my computer and I have downloaded dangerous files. I must ring the number shown at top right and speak to a technician to get rid of it. Each time I select chrome now it appears. What is going on an dhow do I get rid of it.

Thanks for any help

Google Plans a Web-browser, To be called Google Chrome

Google plans to launch its very own web-browser software in competition to Microsoft Internet Explorer called Google Chrome. The new browser according to entries at the official Google blog suggest the driving force behind the browser is to provide value-added features to its users, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web. It is claimed that the browser is tailored to give the most out of common tasks on the internet as a web-browser has become a very significant component of the connected PC.

The browser designed to be streamlined and simple for you to accomplish tasks quickly and easily by offering enhanced address-bar features and other elements that are very different from those on other browsers. The product will be open-source. Says the blog post "To most people, it isn't the browser that matters. It's only a tool to run the important stuff -- the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go."

Google released a comic book explaining its design approach towards the web-browser, it can be read here. Under the hood, Google claims the browser to have what it takes to run complex web-applications any by keeping each browser tab in its "sandbox", the probability of a web-application crash on one tab affecting other tabs is eradicated. A beta version of this browser software would be released in over 100 countries tomorrow, September the 2nd.
