Re: When Microsoft Edge starts with delta-homes.com

I've had one or two infections that AdwCleaner could not remove from Edge.  The last few or so, I have been able to remove by re-installing Edge completely.  It will remove all data from Edge (history, favorites, cookies, etc), but here is a tool to re-install Edge:  http://fatt.xyz/programs/reinstall-microsoft-edge/
