    Malware


    Every time I click on a favorite or link it takes me to advertisement with no back tab then the 2nd time I try I get to my site and then when I click on any link it goes back to advertisement.. So it's double work when I browse and I have malwarebytes. I have Edge which came with windows 10 but I think I need another browser?

    Changes are you have a browser add-on or extension doing this so check for them first

    As Samuria said, it's likely a browser extension. In Edge, click the 3 dots in the top right and then select "Extensions". Disable them all and then re-enable one at a time until the behaviour you dislike happens and then remove it.

    You could also get another browser, but I really don't think you need to if you've been OK with edge up to this point. If it does come to that, I suggest FireFox :)

    In addition to checking your extensions, run AdwCleaner (link above).
