When I open my edge browser, the referenced site is in the address bar. I get this message " Webroot has blocked the website you are trying to access for your protection: Detected Spyware/Adware Site

This site might contain software that gathers information and tracks activity without the user’s knowledge or explicit consent, or that shows unsolicited popup advertising." Then it has a button to go back safely. My question is how to I get rid of the referenced site all together.

Please do as Sherry said to reset Edge:

Then go to Windows Settings if you are using Windows 10 you can "Reset" the Edge Browser.

    Hello @laverett ,

    Welcome to the Webroot Community,

    My advise for this nasty redirect PUP is to go to the Control Panel/Programs/AddRemove and uninstall unknown programs that you may have that are installed from this Hijacker. To find these check for the date that this Browser redirect started happening. Anything like "Sunny-day" ...or any recent Toolbars that are listed. This Browser Redirect was installed without your knowledge or with a free program that you may have installed.

    Then go to Windows Settings if you are using Windows 10 you can "Reset" the Edge Browser.

    Hi @laverett ,

    Okay have you Reset Microsoft Edge? Even if that does get rid of that Browser Hijacker then I still would contact Support. Because these PUPs can be hidden anywhere on your computer. The temporary folders, Registry..etc...

    Thank you @TripleHelix for your assistance. I did not see your post. 🙃
