It's the top result if you searched in GitHub about removing Microsoft edge, while it's not detected by Windows Security, Eset or Kaspersky (the best av vendors) it's being detected by other av engines, is it a false positive?

Have you opened edge lately?

Have you done a search in bing and found that your computer login has a bing account created for it?

Have you had notifications to verify your login with a Windows account?

Have you tried opening a link from Outlook using its default built-in link handling protocol?

I don't understand why this isn't criminal at this point. Are our lawmakers completely unaware of these issues or do they just not care?
