How to Get Rid of Skyjem.com on Edge

If your browser keeps redirecting to Skyjem.com, it’s most likely caused by a malicious extension or adware. Follow the steps below to remove the redirect from Microsoft Edge, clear any cached data, and scan your PC for malware.

Remove Suspicious Extensions from Edge

Malicious extensions often cause unwanted redirects. To remove them:

• Open Microsoft Edge and navigate to edge://extensions/.
• Look for any unknown, suspicious, or recently installed extensions. Click Remove for each one you don’t recognize or trust.
• Restart Edge and test whether the redirect persists.

For more guidance on managing extensions, see the Microsoft Edge help pages: Microsoft Edge support.

Clear Browser Cache and Reset Edge Settings

If removing extensions didn’t fix the issue, clear your browsing data and reset Edge to its default settings:

• Go to edge://settings/clearBrowsingData. Choose Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files, then click Clear now.
• To reset Edge, open edge://settings/reset and select Restore settings to their default values. This will revert your homepage, new tab page, pinned tabs, extensions, and temporary data—your bookmarks and saved passwords will remain unless you choose otherwise.

Scan for Malware

Skyjem.com may be associated with adware or other unwanted software. Scan your system with built-in and third-party tools:

• Open Windows Security (search for Virus & threat protection) and run a Quick scan. If you find threats, follow the prompts to remove them.
• Run a second opinion scan with a reputable anti-malware tool such as Malwarebytes. Perform a full system scan and remove any detected items.

For general information about Windows security tools, see Microsoft’s Windows Security resources: Windows Security (Microsoft).

Additional Checks & Tips

• Check your homepage and default search engine: In Edge, go to edge://settings/search and edge://settings/onStartup to ensure they haven’t been changed to an unfamiliar site.
• Inspect other browsers on your PC (Chrome, Firefox) for similar extensions or settings changes and remove anything suspicious.
• Keep Edge and Windows up to date: go to edge://settings/help to update Edge, and check Windows Update in Settings for system updates.
• If the redirect persists after all steps, consider restoring your system to a clean restore point or creating a new user profile in Windows and testing from there.
• Back up important data (bookmarks, passwords, documents) before making major changes so you don’t lose anything important.

Conclusion

To stop Skyjem.com redirects in Edge, remove any suspicious extensions, clear the browser cache, reset Edge’s settings, and run thorough malware scans. Following these steps should remove the redirect and restore normal browsing behavior.
