    Completely remove Edge malware?


    Yes- I know Edge is legitimate, but the fact that it’s constantly advertised on my desktop, and forces a launch into an welcome screen that you can’t close and have to follow some stupid tutorial before you can close it is pathetic and I consider that malware. I’ve tried uninstalling normally and tried removing through Powershell but it seems to keep coming back with iterations of windows updates (2004>20H2) as well as some minor cumulative updates. Anybody have any ideas?

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    Remove Bueno Search (Removal Guide)

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........

    Malware removal


    Understood, OldMike. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I always appreciate suggestions from those who know more than I do. I think the Malware did do more than one scan, because I had to approve removal of what it found twice. I don't see Windows Defender on the list of programs. I think it was on there before they redid the software. Pluto TV also disappeared.

    Completely remove Edge malware?

    removal of sidecubes malware

    Do not get SpyHunter. It's just as bad as the malware you have,

    Follow the steps here.

    Remove SideCubes Search (Virus Removal Guide)

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. HitmanPro might not be needed.
