BD found Gen:Variant.Tedy.414512 in msedge.exe

Verlugio

BD has moved msedge.exe to quarantine after identifying that it was infected with this virus. Edge now does not work. How do I get rid of this virus and then get Edge back working? Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to reply. In the end I did not use this method as Edge began working again, I have run a complete scan and BD has not identified any further threats. Maybe this was a false positive that was corrected? Again thanks
