  1. Microsoft Internet Explorer redirects to microsoft.com for MS Edge advertisement.


    Hello,


    Recently my IE has been redirecting to this MS webpage to advertise MS Edge.

    I have run some malware scanners but cant find any malicious software.

    I am not sure if this intentional due to a virus installed on my machine by Microsoft or if it is a third party virus.

    Can you clarify?

    :)

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
