Ugh, Softonic pop-ups are the worst. It sounds like you have a browser hijacker or a sneaky extension. Here's how to clean it out of Microsoft Edge:

  1. Remove Bad Extensions: Open Edge, click the three dots (...) > Extensions > Manage extensions. Look for any suspicious extensions you don't remember installing—especially ones with "Softonic" in the name or something vague. Click Remove on them.
  2. Reset Browser Settings: This is the most effective step. Go to Settings > Reset settings > Restore settings to their default values. Click Reset. This will clear your homepage, new tab page, search engine, and disable all extensions. It won't delete your bookmarks and history, but it will wipe out the hijacker's changes.
  3. Scan for Malware: Run a full scan with Windows Security (Windows Defender) or a trusted anti-malware program like Malwarebytes to remove any underlying adware.

That should do the trick!
