Ok, I'm fessin up 
I love watchin streamin TV and was looking for a service that had Gun smoke the 6th season ...... I thought I found it HA!!! 
once I registered thinkin I'd have a new streamin service I got what you see above. It's not like I didn't check to see what the site had and it did seem legit but bygolly that dang dilly hijacked my Edge ..... again
I'm no dummy ..... oh wait, maybe I am but I do know never to call the creeps that keep doin this. So I got on my Chrome browser and checked with Microsoft.com to see what was up. Per their advice I ran a total system scan and they emailed me the following scanner for future use just in case, I thought I'd share that link with you, it is from Microsoft:
https://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Someday I'll learn

Yeah, I did that to no avail, it wasn't a virus that had hijacked the browser.

It's just a scanning tool by Microsoft and it never hurts to give the old PC a good scan now and then to kick the bugs out. I ran it a little bit ago and from the info I read it doesn't hurt to run this tool about once a month .... or in my case once a week, I keep gettin myself into trouble

I often watch streaming tv and do regular scans.

I do as well. Usually I don't have a problem but I saw a show I hoped to watch on a streaming tv site I had not heard of before then boom, it got me

Oh those make me crazy. Most of them aren't real, but they're always annoying.

It did drive me nuts for a while but it helped that I've gone through the drill before so I knew what not to do to get into further trouble.

It was the sites I accessed that had a malicious attachments which could easily have infected Explorer, Chrome or any other browser, as I wrote above I made the mistake of thinking I had found a new streaming TV site on the same lines as Netflix.

Yeah, I've gone through this before so at least I knew what not to do and now I have a link that will help scan my system should it happen again. As the Tech told me, each day a new virus or malicious adware is dreamed up by who knows who so it'll probably happen again.
