Hi there, my boss’s son was just scammed with this Microsoft edge virus scam and he gave them permission to access his laptop. Once we figured out what happened he logged out of the internet. Are there any other steps we need to take besides what you have recommended since the scammers gained access? thank you

Typically, such scammers are trying to swindle people's money by convincing them that they are infected and that they are the only ones who are capable of removing these viruses, so if he didn't give them his credit card details, it's good. However, they could have installed malware, trojan or even keylogger on his system without his notice, so we highly recommend running a full system scan with anti-virus after updating.
