Blocked Laptop

For a few weeks I have occasionally received bogus!? messages about a possible Infection; however, the machine continued to function according to established parameters. Each time I contacted Microsoft I was insured, beyond doubt, that I had suffered scams, as Microsoft NEVER sends out notices instructing the customer to call the number on the screen.
Sorry, I apparently posted before I wanted to. Two days ago I attempted to install a payed-up Ultimate package. The computer fought me at every turn. I never did finish the install. This morning I turned on the computer to continue the battle. I right away received three messages on screen advising me that Windows had detected a virus and had blocked my machine until I called the number on screen. Another message said that Javascripts were not accepted, so again, lockdown. The machine was frozen and cannot navigate at all.

Alan Guru, thanks ever so much for wasting your time and mine. I made a mistake, ok?  I've already apologized.  I was honest and serious when I said I was sorry.  Golly, I'm a lot more sorrier now.  Clearly, your knowledge base precludes you from answering my question.  Oh, what fun it is exchanging attitude.  Insult me anytime.

Hello larry,

I apologize if that sounded offending.
