    How to get rid of Softonic pop ups


    I have Win 10 and have spent much time searching how to get rid of Softonic popups. I don't think there's any way to do it. Best I can tell, Softonics comes from Microsoft and is loaded into Microsoft Edge. And from there it invades all browsers. Even though I don't use Edge, I use Firefox, it still pops up in Firefox. I've followed directions online to get rid of the pop ups in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome. My ISP even sent directions to help. Nothing works. Online directions for Edge take you way into the system and I don't know enough to go that far. Can't delete Edge from your computer, that's what they say, that there are components in Edge that make Windows work. That's probably not true but I don't want to find out. I've tried Malwarebytes and it doesn't recognize Softonics. AVG doesn't either. After spending many exhausting hours for the past couple of days, I turned my computer off, then back on later and immediately got a pop up window saying that Softonics was downloading something about photos. I couldn't stop it and can't find any new downloads or software anywhere to delete it. These invasions are well hidden in the system. Please don't tell me to block pop ups or delete extensions or Control Panel or any more of that simple obvious stuff. It doesn't work. I would like to know if anyone really knows, or just guessing, how to delete Softonics from my computer. Thanks, Barb

    how to remove softonic

    Follow up to previous reply re: softonic

    The site you referred me to requires a payment. Since I am already paying for multiple Windows 10 Office Pro installations and since this softonic thing can truly clutter bandwidth and crap-up windows 10 , I addressed my enquiry to Microsoft.
    Since you identify yourself as Independent advisor I concluded you are a 3rd party motivated, likely for profit, by suggesting solutions for a fee.
