    No, absolutely not. It's a tech scam called "scareware."

    Press ALT + F4 to try closing this webpage.

    Consider enabling the "Scareware blocker" in Microsoft Edge. See: Stand up to scareware with Scareware Blocker, now available in preview in Microsoft Edge

    The Privacy, search, and services tab of the Microsoft Edge settings page. The tab shows a toggle for scareware blocker.
