Lately on two different PC's I've been getting the Ransomeware infection. I have run CCleaner, Malwarebytes, Privazer and Wize cleaner. This occurs when I open Edge, Yahoo mail and no specific mail message.
Doing the Control Alt Delete and Ending the Edge process stops the ransom ware.
What else should I be scanning with to remove this annoying app?
If may just be a phishing malware (malware ad), in which case there might not be anything to be found on your computer (particularly).
That it happens on 2 different computers is odd, making me think the above is less likely.
If you create a new, clean (Edge) Profile (can you do such a thing?) & visit Yahoo mail (I guess that is mail.yahoo.com?) do you still get the ransomeware popup?
Likewise if you start Edge in "safe mode" (again, does it have such a feature, like to disable all Plugins & extensions), does the issue persist?
If it is a malware ad, an ad blocker might help.

The virus popped up again so I did some more digging. Recalled Rkill so I did the download from Bleeping Computer. When I clicked on the Malwarebytes icon it would not execute the program. I remember there was a part of the virus that looked at the file name, so I changed it to something else and then ran the program.
Much to my surprise, 4 malware instances were found plus two instances of Trojan virus.
So I think all my problems have been solved.
My concern is how did these get in in the first place. I thought Webroot should have caught them. My bad.
