Edge extension suspicious connection
JD6800 I have similar problem but for other link, every time I launch edge it establishes a connection which Bitdefender blocks due to certificate license expired. what's even more puzzling is the fact that I don't have any extension enabled nor did I ever use that link in my life!
My questions to Microsoft:
First: Why does edge automatically establish connection without a user consent?! this is a major security vulnerability!
Second: where this link establishment happens??!! I googled the site ("www.ahlalloghah.com") which appears to be something I never used in my life.. How on earth did that site link itself to my edge browser?? btw, I have no viruses.
It's surprising that such an issue is still open for 4 months and no one in Microsoft cares to solve it. I searched the internet for a solution, and nothing is found!
I need explanation and a solution, otherwise I have to ditch Edge for having such a major security hole without any update that fix this error. With such incompetency, I don't feel confident anymore that Edge can cope with the many security threats that is out there on the internet.
