My Asus notebook has been attacked and locked with sirens blaring. I cannot download or raise a page on Edge. In the control panel if I try to uninstall files there are only five Microsoft files. Can anyone help me? I have switched of my Asus and am sending this on my phone.

Hello, can you help me?

Switch your notebook back on and see whether it's still happening.
It sounds like a tech support scam, which is usually initiated inside your browser. As you've shut down your system, unless your browser is configured to restore the last web page you visited, chances are it's no longer a problem.
