It’s the top result if you searched in GitHub about removing Microsoft edge, while it’s not detected by Windows Security, Eset or Kaspersky (the best av vendors) it’s being detected by other av engines, is it a false positive?

    Sketchy tools with bad english being used to modify your OS is a red flag. A quick google search shows that there are much better ways to patch Windows, so you’re really taking an unnecessary risk here. If any antivirus thinks a program is risky, that’s a sign that you should stop what you’re doing and ask yourself if you’re really sure you want to risk your system to some guy on Github named “ShadowWhisperer”.

    If you really have so much trouble with built-in Windows features, then the best way to uninstall Edge would be this: https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/
