    Virus lock on my browser.


    One of my computers has a virus that has locked up the browser. It provides a screen that says it is from Microsoft Support and asks me to call a phone number to get it unblocked. There is also a box that pops up saying its from Microsoft Security [MICROSOFT EDGE] describing the previous page and saying my name and password would be sent to an insecure connection. The response options on this box are 'OK' or 'CANCEL'. I have refrained from doing anything or pushing any responses to either screen until I can figure our what to do. Is there a simple fix that will get rid of the virus and release my browser?

    :)

    BROWSER HACK VIRUS

    Did you scan with Adwcleaner and the Emsisoft Emergency Kit?

    Did you follow all of the suggested steps in How to remove SafeSearch.net & SafeSearch Search (Mac & Windows) to include scanning
    with Zemana, Malwarebytes and if necessary with Hitman Pro?

    The scanners that have been recommended should work on "Safesearch" hijacker and also on "some other virus."

    Did you reset your browsers as suggested in my previous post?

    If you do not wish to use the independent scanners (listed above) that I use when removing adware and PUPS from computers and you do not want to reset your browsers then you may want to reset your computer. Before considering this option suggest you
    carefully review https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415/windows-10-recovery-options

    Alternatively you can obtain premium support from MS at http://answerdesk.microsoftstore.com

    Or

    You may wish take your computer to a professional computer repair technician.

    New detection....not much info listed here.

    Presume you emptied temporary internet files, restarted the computer and tried a Quick Scan with your resident antivirus program?

    Did you seek advice/assistance from your antimalware provider (Avast, Avira, McAfee, Norton, etc)?

    Any new browser extensions that need to be disabled/removed?

    Any new program installed that you need to remove?
