You're welcome.
Suggestion to read, once again, my first post and - perhaps - try some of the advices...

When I open Edge, I can no longer see the My Feed news scrolling because it is partially blocked by ads starting with the address api.taboola/com. I've bought HitmanPro and Spyhunter 4 and neither can get rid of it. I can't find any way to reset Edge the way I used to Internet Explorer when malware got into the browser. I can't seem to even uninstall Edge. Is this hopeless and just stop using Edge?

FYI
SpyHunter is a product which is NOT recommended here in Microsoft Community.

In addition, suggestion to get a good advertisment blocker.
I, personally, use uBlock Origin which is also availabe for Edge, see http://www.ghacks.net/2016/12/11/ublock-origin-for-microsoft-edge/
