Microsoft Edge Virus will terminate all your current tabs and windows and change your homepage to the site running the scam.
But Microsoft Edge Virus is actually a phishing scam, as we will see below. This virus resembles a lot to a very popular and danger virus called Zeus Virus.īasically at some point while you were browsing you clicked on an infected link and your computer installed a script similar to what Browser Hijacker viruses use. We realize that this might look scary as hell, but overall Microsoft Edge Virus is just a cleverly designed ruse using an unforeseen system weakness and it is not dangerous at all – unless you fall for the scammers of course. Typically, any browser hijacker, including the The Microsoft Edge Malware app, will try to extract information about the users’ web browsing habits from the hijacked browser and pass it back on to its developers. The Microsoft Edge Malware is a browser hijacker that has been specifically designed to expose users to certain advertising materials and generating benefits for its developers thanks to Pay-Per-Click campaigns or sponsored ads positioning. You will also be told via a recorded message to call the nearest Microsoft support center in order to receive help with removing the virus. Microsoft Edge Virus will use a jumble of scary words and virus names, whose only goal is to instill panic in you.
It will inform you that there is a problem with your computer.
