Much of this came home to me yesterday, when I clicked on a website which brought up an official looking warning that my security had been breached, and that in order to continue, I had to click on a link to verify my identity in order to restore access to my files. Since I just shut the computer down and have not experienced further problems, I don't know what clicking the link might have done.

...

Probably clicking on that link would have been a bad idea unless you recognize the warning as being from a trusted source ... not likely.

I'd suggest using the snipping tool to save the popup before restarting the computer. Then you could do a search on the wording in that popup. Might give one a clue as to the nature of the threat.
