Redirection to unsafe site

* Locked

* Similar thread: Chrome/Edge threads 

I visit CNN.com in Chrome and it behaves properly.
I visit cnn.com in Edge and every time I get redirect to a new unsafe site that wants to download a virus to my computer.

I report the unsafe site, but new unsafe sites keep popping up. I am afraid to report the unsafe url in this posting. It might block this post.

How could that be?

Hello, my name is Marco and I am an Independent Advisor. I will do my best to help you.

Possibly a spyware which is installed in Edge, please make a scan with these 2 software there

AdwCleaner : https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
Malwarebytes : https://malwarebytes.com/

I ran adwarecleaner, but the virus inside Edge is still there.

Now I got infected by adwarecleaner also. How do I get the adwarecleaner off my computer, before I test the malwarebytes?

I can find the adware cleaner installer. Where do I find the adware cleaner uninstaller?

Adware cleaner is an unwanted program that autostarts without my permission.
