My computer is completely locked up. Bells and whistles are going off. A message says access to this system has been blocked for security reasons. Do not access or restart this PC. If you overlook this basic warning, you may lose information about this framework. Contact support as soon as possible and a Microsoft expert will guide you through the investigation over the phone. running this application may put your PC at risk.

There is another pop up that says Admin Login that says my device has been blocked due to illegal activity by the State of Florida. It wants me to contact Microsoft Support at 833-611-5343. Also wants me to enter my User Name and Password. I cannot close out or do anything else on the screen except enter the info requested. Please help!

Hi,

This is FAKE and SCAM for sure.

Are you seeing this in a webpage?

Do NOT enter any information and never contact the number and NEVER share any data.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and from menu click to open task manager and if it work, try close the task which could be associate to this warning or you may close all browsers.

You may also press the power button once and it should shutdown your PC and then turn on your PC to see if the warning exists?

It is also good idea if you disconnect from the internet.
