Updating the Hosts file to block the original redirect instruction(s) would be ideal. Does anyone know how to find the original redirect instruction that is included within the hijacked web page? Is there freeware that reveals redirect instructions? Thank you in anticipation. Kind regards.

Hello Colif, I have visited the Ghostery web page, but it says that it is a browser extension that helps you to manage website trackers. The Ghostery tour says nothing about blocking unwanted Microsoft Edge browser redirects to malicious and ransomware web pages. I use :- a) Spybot - Search &...
