How do I get rid of fake Microsoft Edge virus? ›

Is Windows Defender security warning real? No, it is not real. It is a fake warning designed to scare you into performing steps that could get your computer infected, or make you share sensitive personal information that could later be used in financial fraud or identity theft.

Lack of Market Share: Edge has a much smaller market share than Chrome and Firefox, which can make it difficult to find compatibility with certain websites and extensions. This can make users feel like Edge is not a supported or reliable browser.

Here are some telltale signs to look out for: Urgent language: Fake pop-ups often use urgent and alarming language to create a sense of panic. Phrases like “Your computer is infected!” or “Immediate action required!” are common in such cases. Mismatched URLs: Check the web address (URL) displayed in the pop-up.

Microsoft Edge viruses can come from a variety of sources. You could have accidentally downloaded a dodgy app or clicked on a malicious link. Either way, a simple, reliable antivirus program can clean your system, and we'll show you to get that done in the next section.

If you aren't sure about the source of an email, check the sender. You'll know it's legitimate if it's from the Microsoft account team at account-security-noreply@accountprotection.microsoft.com.

Data that is gathered and processed at the edge lacks the hardened physical security of more centralized assets. By simply removing a disk drive from an edge resource, or by copying data from a simple memory stick, vital information can potentially be compromised.

Microsoft has been forcing Windows 10 and Windows 11 users into Edge and its Bing search engine in the Start menu search results, and now with the new Widgets panel in Windows 11. It's a frustrating part of Windows that doesn't respect your default browser choice.

HOWEVER, MS Edge overall is not being discontinued, but rather a new version which is Chromium-based (uses the same browser engine as Google Chrome/Chromium) will come and replace it as the browser that is built in with Windows as a direct upgrade. Is Microsoft Edge discontinued? No.

Why Microsoft Edge is closing? ›

When you click on the Edge icon, if the browser doesn't launch or crashes immediately, it could indicate underlying issues such as corrupted system files, a problematic user profile, or conflicts with antivirus software.

Startup apps are programs that automatically start with Windows without any user input. If you've previously set Edge as a startup program, it will continue to open automatically on boot. You can use Task Manager to view a list of startup apps and disable Edge from there.

It is recommended to check the default browser settings and make sure that Edge is not set as the default browser. If it is, then changing it back to Chrome may resolve the issue.
