Windows 10: pop ups

A short while ago, I was downloading editing software.

At the same time, a company named topflownews started frequently sliding into view on the bottom right of my screen, claiming some affiliation with microsoft edge.

The news content is click bait about celebrity downfalls, flabby **** anglosaxon girls wanting to talk to me, and boring 'games'.

I never knowingly consented to these constant intrusions.

I am worried that this may be malware.

I have constantly used windows security to try to protect my device.

I have no tech experience, I want to delete these harassing pop ups - how do I do this?​
