If you clicked the I'm not a robot popup and then clicked yes, you enabled push notifications, which are being abused by the redirected site.

To resolve the issue, copy/paste edge://settings/privacy/sitePermissions/allPermissions/notifications into Edge's Address bar and click enter.

To disable all notifications, toggle off the setting Ask before sending (Recommended)

or

Look at the sites listed under Allowed to send notifications and either Remove or Block any unfamiliar looking site.

    Yes. This matches a tech support scam or malicious site behavior, not a real Microsoft warning.

    Signs from the description that point to a scam:

    • The alerts appeared immediately after opening a website.
    • The site generated repeated Edge notifications and download warnings.
    • Fake security pages often claim the device has viruses and try to scare people into clicking, calling, or downloading something.
    • Microsoft warning and error messages do not include a phone number, and scam sites commonly use full-screen popups, repeated dialogs, and audio to create panic.

    What to do now:

    1. Close Microsoft Edge completely. If the page will not close, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, open Task Manager, select Microsoft Edge, and choose End task.
    2. Reopen Edge and do not restore the previous tab if prompted.
    3. Remove the site’s notification permission in Edge:
      • Settings and more > Settings
      • Cookies and site permissions > Notifications
      • Remove any unfamiliar entries related to that site.
    4. Clear browsing data in Edge to remove cached site data.
    5. Check Edge downloads. If any suspicious file was downloaded, do not open it.
    6. Run a full malware scan:
      • Start > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options > Full scan
    7. Make sure Windows and Edge are fully updated.
    8. If Edge flagged a safe file by mistake, the false-positive reporting option for downloads is available from the three dots next to the download alert: Report this file as safe.

    Important:

    • Do not click the notifications.
    • Do not call any number shown by the site.
    • Do not install anything the site suggests.

    Extra protection in Edge:

    • Microsoft Defender SmartScreen helps block known scam sites.
    • Scareware blocker in Edge can detect suspicious full-screen scam behavior. It is enabled by default on many devices, but can be checked in Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Security > Scareware blocker.

    If any software was installed, credentials were entered, or payment information was provided, stronger cleanup steps are recommended: uninstall the software, run a full Windows Security scan, apply updates, change passwords, and contact the card provider if payment was made.
