Hello,
my homepage on Micosoft Edge changed to Topwebclub.com or one of its other guises.
I also use chrome but that does not seem affected.
Can someone please guide my through the process of malware removal.
Thanks
Adam

How is the computer now ?
Hiya,
still there I’m afraid.
OK lets now reset Edge
CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer
Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
CreateRestorePoint: C:\Users\Adam\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/FRSTfix.JPG
Run FRST and press Fix
THEN
To Launch PowerShell, Type “Power Shell” in Windows search.
Right Click powershell.exe and Run as Administrator
Copy and paste the following command into the blue box :
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
Press enter and reboot once completed
Now try Edge
Tried this but it started on en.4yendex.com
Tried again but it started on Topwebclub.com again.
The normal homepage is MSN.
Hmm that is intriguing as what we did was totally re-install edge
Could you go to edge settings > advanced settings and let me know if you can change the home page
Well that seems to have worked!
Brilliant!
Thanks Asyn and Essexboy.
Very grateful for your help.
Adam
