Edge won't confirm your system is infected—it's just a web browser, not an antivirus. You're likely seeing an ad or a pop-up from a compromised site trying to trick you into downloading something or sharing personal info. Often the aim is to steal your credit card data or gather enough details for identity theft. Close the tab or browser window. To be safe, run a full scan with Windows Defender followed by Malwarebytes. It's always good to verify there are no hidden threats from past downloads.
Did you turn off Windows Defender, the firewall, User Account Control or Smart Screen protection? Unless you did and didn't notice a warning prompt, you seem safe. Microsoft Edge currently offers the best security for everyday use on consumer devices, with few real threats targeting it. If you used Firefox or worse, Internet Explorer could have posed different risks. Consider following another user's advice and perform a malwarebytes scan. If it reports clean, you're likely good to go.
