I believe that with Edge the AdBlock, AdBlockPlus and possibly other extensions are available to deal with these as well. Since these browser hijack attacks often come through advertising networks on popular sites now, I've chosen to block these using the Internet Explorer Tracking Protection with the Easy Privacy list which operates similar to the popular AdBlock extension. The attackersĪlso target Edge since by default it restores the last page displayed after a crash if not cleared before opening.

Though these attacks most often seem to happen with Edge, that's more a function of the default browser settings in Windows 10 and how they are launched via advertising or other ancillary functions of the websites where they're encountered.
Very fast and so is difficult to abort when it loops back to itself, making it appear to be something more malicious than it really is, which is simply annoying. Note that these browser hijacks are typically nothing more than an initial script executed by something within a website, which then copies a small html file containing the page displayed into a local folder on the PC. However, in testing this doesn't always appear to work, so I've most often found that pressing Alt-F4 in quick succession or holding these keys continually eventually results in an offer to close either the current or all tabs. Typically if you select either the Cancel or "X" option in the upper right-hand corner to exit that Windows Security dialog, an additional checkbox option to not allow the site to open more of these will be displayed.
