I was using the website Project Free TV to watch episodes on Safari and I got a pop up with a fake website called Police Central E-crime Unit. I have googled it and it is definitely a fake virus. It won't let me close Safari, go to another webpage(I'm using my parent's laptop to ask this) or shut down/restart my MacBook.
I tried downloading and running Norton iAntiVirus, which scanned the whole MacBook but could not find a virus. I'm currently running a different antivirus scan with Bitdefender but it has not found anything yet.
I know I should not have been using Project Free TV to watch online but I would REALLY appreciate help because I only got my MacBook for Christmas 4 days ago. Thanks.

Update:
The only applications I can download are those on the App Store. Also, the Bitdefender scanner said there were no viruses found.
