Microsoft Edge Error Alert

So I got on Microsoft Edge and went to Youtube, or tried to anyways. The page turned red and an alert popped up. Here's what it said:

This site says.....

The website you were attempting to access is infected with malware.

Unknown users are attempting to install harmful and programs which will allow them to steal and delete information. This is including, but not limited to photographs, user passwords, instant messages, and credit card numbers.

We strongly advise that you dial the number for customer care at (855) 982-1492 this very moment for technical support.

I don't how to get rid of it. Every time I open up Edge, it's there. I can't use the browser at all. I have done a full scan twice with Windows Defender and McAfee. I have restarted the computer twice. How do I fix this, because up until this happened, Edge was my new favorite browser and I'd like to continue to use it.

Same problem.  I opened Internet Explorer and went to this Microsoft site:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/welcomeie11/

Clicked on "Try Microsoft Edge Now"  This opened a new tab in Edge.  Then, I clicked on the red X to close the offending site.  Good luck.

Hey thanks it worked! That was really simple. Thought it was going to be more complicated than that.
