Hi,
This morning I started having MS Edge opening tabs by itself to this website. I’ve read it’s a Microsoft thing and the message on the web said something about the notifying the provider. So I called the ISP and the first time they said they’re having an issue but that the behaviour I’m describing is most likely a virus.
I’m an IT person and this computer in particular I treat it super safe. No executing sketchy stuff, no visiting weird websites, all software genuinely licensed.
So I thought, that can’t be right?
Tried another computer and the same thing happened.
So I called again and this time they said they have received multiple calls about this issue now.
I was concerned about the safety of my network and tried to ask them what happened, could any of my devices be compromised now, was this a DNS spoof, was this a Microsoft problem?
But they wouldn’t say. Third time I called a bit later and they said nothing happened during the morning. Really weird.
I looked at a popular forum in my country and there was a thread about this same problem.
What could have happened? Any of you know? I’m running full & offline scans with Windows Defender now but nothing pops up. Sounds like Windows had a whoopsie, or something went wrong at my ISP?
Cheers
