I received a critical alert from windows that my computer is blocked and I am to call a *bleep* phone number but I am reluctant to give them information. When I did call they wanted access to my computer so I said no and hung up. It also says that the windows firewall has block some features of this program. There is also a very loud alert alarm that is going off, do I turn off the computer?

hi
You are probably the victim of a ransomware virus

It is often very difficult to recover the computer, it all depends on the type of blockage
I advise you to turn off the computer
Then look for help on websites specializing in viruses.
