Malware detected via microsoft edge

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

When you say “malware detected via Microsoft Edge”:

1. What exactly did you see? A pop-up, warning page, or notification?
2. Did it come from Edge itself or from a website?
3. Are you able to open Windows Security (Defender)?

If you haven't tried anything yet please start by:

If you're experiencing scam pop-up, try this:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
• Look for Edge
• Click it, then choose End Task.

If that doesn’t work:

• Press and hold the Power button for about 10 seconds to force shut down.
• Turn the PC back on after 30 seconds.

After restarting:

• Open your browser.
• If it asks to restore previous tabs, choose No.
• Clear your browser history and cache.

Run a full antivirus scan on your computer using Windows Security and any third-party antivirus software you have.

• Run a full deep scan using a trusted security tool:
• Download and run Microsoft Safety Scanner here: https://learn.microsoft.com/defender-endpoint/safety-scanner-download
• After running the scan, please restart your PC and monitor whether the issue continues.

I really hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Regards, John J.D.
