Edge Browser hijack scam

Last night I got the scam where the Browser (Edge) is locked and a message pops up saying to call a number. There is a computerised voice telling me I have a problem.

I can open Explorer ok and am using it to type this. I ran AV (Defender & MBAM) but nothing came up.
I disconnected my router and went back to Edge and I seemed to be able to clear that scam page. But did not connect the modem.

Today
Connected modem & downloaded ADwcleaner. It found nothing except for the following;

Is it ok to delete this registry stuff?

Yep - get rid of that stuff.

Thanks Simrick.

I just cleaned it. Went back to Edge and it opens ok. The hijack crap is gone.

Anything else I need to do?

That's because what you were experiencing wasn't actually a virus, or malware per se. It was just a web page that makes clever use of javascript to prevent you from navigating away. Of course, when you kill the browser, it just reopens the same page and you're back to where you were.

What you did is exactly the correct thing, disconnect the computer from the internet, kill the browser, then reopen it. Since it can't now reach the page, it just gives you an error and no javascript executes, so you can close it out and you're good after that. No viruses, no malware.

While It looks like you had some other malware on there, they weren't related to the page you saw. That's strictly an annoying page. FYI, there exists similar hijack pages for most (if not all) of the major browsers.
