Sounds like Malware - ignore that message and run Anti-Malware scans to locate that garbage.

. Whenever you get a message / popup like that;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS OR ANY PHONE NUMBERS ! !

Such messages are only Spam that could lead you to Fake Support. Not only can they damage or hack your system, they charge you to do so.

It would be interesting to know the results of the scans, and whether any damage was done.

Scans vary, some merely display a message or are fake sites. Some do damage only once you interact and follow instructions. Some ransomware lock the browser temporarily, or hate already put malware on the computer by the time you see a message.
