this has happened to me a few times i just run restore it leaves all your files intact and gets rid of pop up

It doesn’t give you the option to uninstall Edge

23

It should in ADD/REMOVE from Control Panel.

Well I think the system restore worked because so far no pop ups about viruses have came up but I am not sure and I have to monitor it more closely when I get back from work tonight

always has for me :+1:

Also it only gives you the option to repair Microsoft Edge doesn’t give you the option to uninstall it

Yup and if you are not using some type of Internet Security software on a Windows PC you are more prone to getting this crap

If it keeps taking you back to Mcaffee then you probably have some version on your computer. Go to Control Panel/Programs and if you find McAffee uninstall it and do a restart to see if this solved your problem. McAffee may have come pre-installed on your computer.

Same old, same old…dancing with Windoze. A more permanent solution, especially if you are not into dancing, is to replace Windoze with Linux. Haven’t had a virus issue since 2005!
