    Virus alert from microsoft edge

    Hello jodemo,

    The alert you received about virus is a common scam. We suggest that you close Microsoft Edge immediately. Make sure not to restore the sessions when you reopen Microsoft Edge.

    In addition, we highly recommend you to follow the steps provided by Bruce Hagen MVP on this
    thread link.

    Hope this information helps you. Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

    Edge browser security alert - frozen screen

    Edge Browser frozen with Computerdisinfector.com

    Lauched Edge and it froze with a screen telling me to call Mircrosoft at 877-671-3431 to unlock my computer.

    I did not call and no matter what I do, I cannot get it off my computer. Restarting does not help. Ran the Microsoft safety tool, said not infected. Ran Windows Defender, says not infected, ran Malwarebytes and superspy nothing picks it up and Edge browser
    and tabs are frozen...Can someone please help me with this?
