This hit my laptop last night; completely controlled it

Norton let this into my laptop last night.

I was reading an article and all of a sudden a 'booming' voice started telling me that my computer has a virus and if I shut it down 'my hard drive would be completely erases'.  It said to call a phone number to get help.

I could not 'X' out of any tab and the laptop was frozen except for flashing lights and the booming voice.

I was able to use the 'shut down' feature in the lower left of the screen.

While it was shutting down, lots of updates started occurring; not sure if this was supposed to happen or whether it was the virus.

Afterwards, all my Norton security features 'were turned off'.....and I didn't turn them off.

I copied these items below from 'the history' feature on Chrome...... 

Is my laptop safe or is there now 'something hidden' within my hard drive?
