You do have an infection in your system and your privacy is actually jeopardized. That’s a fact. But not because your PC is brimming with infections. No. Your only problem is the hijacker which causes the Microsoft Edge Critical Error Red Screen to appear.

Other than that, your computer is fine. However, do not underestimate the infection. For now, it only shows you this single scam page. If you let it stay, it will show you others as well.

How did you get infected? As we said, the Microsoft Edge Critical Error Red Screen scam appeared because of the hijacker. But how did the hijacker enter? The truth is that it used sneaky tactics to get in undetected. Tactics like spam email messages, corrupted links, freeware or shareware bundles, fake program or system updates, malicious ads, illegitimate torrents, etc. If you want to protect your PC from future infections, you need to pay close attention to what you do online. Be careful what you click on and which pages you visit. Don’t open emails from strangers. Use only reliable download sources. Always be vigilant because neither of the above-mentioned infiltration methods can succeed without your inactive cooperation, aka your carelessness.
