Edge Reset Button

Ransomware attacks are fairly common and are designed to target inexperienced PC users, although they can be a real nuisance even if you already know that you are not supposed to follow the instructions they offer.

Edge Reset Button is a simple utility that aims to protect you against Trojan:HTML/Browlock, as it enables you to shut down Microsoft Edge even when it is blocked by malware.

Trojan:HTML/Browlock displays a lock screen and blocks your browser until you pay a sum of money to, supposedly, restore the system. Of course, no damage is actually caused to your computer, and shutting down Microsoft Edge is all it takes to fix the issue.

However, given that the ransomware prevents you from closing the program or accessing your settings, this can be a bit tricky, especially for inexperienced users.

Edge Reset Button can perform this action with a single mouse click, which means that any user, regardless of their level of experience, should be able to deal with the problem in seconds.

Once you click the reset button, your browser is shut down even if it is currently locked down by ransomware. You can then launch it again and get on with your work.

While the application is certainly useful and does the job it was designed for, it is a bit disappointing that it cannot help you reset other browsers as well, not just Microsoft Edge.

These types of malware can, of course, target other web browsers, so it would have been great if this utility allowed you to reset them when necessary.

Edge Reset Button is a simplistic, easy-to-use program that can help you out in the event of a ransomware attack. It allows you to reset Microsoft Edge even when the browser is locked by malware, and can be especially helpful for inexperienced PC users.
