Somehow I managed to grab Microsoft Edge and Firefox, then ditched Firefox, but for some reason, I can't get rid of Microsoft Edge at all. It keeps telling me I need to close the page in Microsoft Edge first 😵

I went ahead and installed Google Chrome and I'm trying to set it as my default, but it just won't stick.😠😠

Maybe you could try running the uninstallation while in Safe Mode.

So I tried that and Microsoft Edge is finally gone.

The Microsoft Edge icon is still sitting on my desktop, but whenever I click it, it just redirects me straight to www.oursurfing.com.

I found these instructions for getting rid of oursurfing here:

but when I check my extensions, oursurfing isn't even showing up in the list, so I can't just hit the trashcan icon to delete it.

Grab AdwCleaner and run it. Check your Control Panel under "Programs and Features" to see if that OurSurfing thing is still hanging around. If it's there, kill it. If not, just let AdwCleaner scan your PC and wipe out whatever junk it finds. That should do the trick...
