    Keep getting Norton message that widevinecdm.dll is safe


    I keep getting this message every time I open an App in Edge. It does not happen when I use Edge Canary. I have tried Microsoft advice how to clear it but it is still there I have read that there was a problem with this last year anyone know how to stop it

    Do you have any abnormal desktop behavior? If no, not a malware.

    This type of popup comes with a find target (safe or not), a delete option and/or block in Norton LifeLock. Not using Edge. After searching Norton, this bug comes from Edge, check Nov. 15th 2021 reply:

    widevinecdm.dll | Norton Community

    See any update problems there:
    Code:
    edge://components
    Avoid Edge for now, or try to disable its 3 related services if above not working. Remove it in Revo_Pro if you have to, restart and check for leftover. Next CU will reinstall it.
