Extension automatic installed although it was removed

After starting the Edge browser, about 2 minutes later the Edge browser refreshes like opening it again with a new extension "xBlockstop" installed from the Program data folder, I find it and delete it, but after restarting the computer, that folder created and uploaded to Edge browser. I think it also has something to do with the fact that when I browse the web with google it automatically browses with a website with the domain name m.nearbyme.io. How do I solve this case, I think it's quite serious because my personal data is stolen or shared with someone

    Hi Phước

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    The address m.nearbyme.io indicates you have a browser hijacker installed on your PC and that would be also causing that extension to be re-installed, you should download the free version of Malwarebytes and run a full scan with that to remove the browser hijacker from your system.

    Hi Phước

    When you run a full scan with MalwareBytes, that should remove that browser redirect, then restart your PC and go into Extensions in Edge and remove the extension form there, that should then no longer be re-created.
