Just bought a new computer last night. Booted it up this afternoon, was told there was a virus on my computer and was locked out. Called the number on the screen, was then told there is a virus (on my brand new computer) and it would cost me money to have it looked at.

I hung up, and miraculously I was able to get back on the computer

Recently purchased a new computer with some friends after connecting to it we went onto Microsoft Edge to get on the internet. While I was playing around to put a tool bar on there for them we received a pop up saying we already had a virus in the computer for us to call them or they would disconnect us to the internet. I contacted them and started the process they wanted me to do for them to get control of the computer to remove the virus. I never let them get control and ended the call with them. I wanted to check to see if this was legit. Afterwards we were unable to get back onto Microsoft Edge or any other Browser. Can you tell me if this is a legitimate thing or not.
