    Security scam alert - continues to pop up while using internet explorer


    A "Microsoft security alert" with a continuous alarm sound keeps popping up on my father's PC when he moves from page to page online. It is redirecting to this page:


    https://areuk2.ga/mamo-4046/Edge-416528/

    How can I prevent this from happening now and help him to not click on suspicious links in the future?


    Thank you


    Windows 10 Home

    Microsoft edge Version 81.0.416.86 Official build 64-bit
