My Identity and Devices are compromised...,

How can i find out if someone i know has hacked my computer and cell. Where do I look to find the program or app, and how do I get rid of them.

  • Not sure how this is related to Edge browser, it's a very broad question.
    haven't mentioned enough details. OS, browser, phone, phone OS, and just more details of the situation.

    Scan your computer with a powerful AV such as Windows Defender if running Windows.

    or use the best, Kaspersky, Security Cloud – Free
    https://free.kaspersky.com/

    available for Mac/IOS/Android too

    if you suspect someone to have installed something on your computer the most effiective is to reinitialise it (don't forget to save your data normally they aren't removed, but better safe than sorry).
    Same for your smartphone.
