Msedge.vg can change your browser settings without clear permission, and most people notice it when their homepage or search engine gets replaced or when they suddenly start to get forcefully redirected to ad-filled pages with questionable content. All this is typical for browser hijacker apps and sites, so that’s what we categorize Msedge.vg as.
Software like it often arrives through bundled downloads and misleading pop-ups. Sometimes you may not even install anything on your PC and simply click “agree” on a misleading website prompt that actually gives the hijacker permission to make changes in your browser.
The main concern here is that Msedge.vg can push traffic to unreliable pages and reduce your control over the browser. So even though it doesn’t typically damage anything directly, you still need to get rid of it to keep your system safe.
We’ve dealt with similar hijackers in the past, including Silverhost.vg and Acio-patron.cc, so we know exactly how you can take care of this one. Just follow the guide below or use the dedicated removal tool (SpyHunter 5), and all should be fine.
We tested that SpyHunter successfully removes Msedge.vg* and we recommend using it. It will block Msedge.vg from reinstalling itself and it will make sure your device is clean from any malware.

Start with the shorter version below, because it covers the fastest checks that often solve the problem without going through the entire process. If Msedge.vg is still affecting the browser after that, continue with the full guide, which goes deeper into policy entries and manual cleanup steps.
Quick Checks to Remove Msedge.vg
- 1.1Open the browser’s Extensions page and check whether Msedge.vg added anything unfamiliar or suspicious.
- 1.2If you spot an extension you do not recognize, remove it. Unexpected add-ons are often behind this type of browser change, so anything that appeared without a clear reason should be deleted.
- 1.3Next, open Privacy and Security settings and focus on Site Permissions. This is where unwanted sites may keep access to notifications, pop-ups, or similar browser features.
- 1.4Remove permissions for sites you do not recognize or trust. When you finish, restart the computer and open the browser again.
In many cases, this shorter cleanup is enough. If the browser is still being changed, continue with the full guide below.

How to Remove the Msedge.vg Hijacker
The first part of the full guide is about collecting the browser policy data left behind by Msedge.vg. You will need that information later when searching for related records in the system, so note down the relevant values carefully before moving on to the actual deletion steps.
1. Locate the Msedge.vg Policies
- 1.1
To verify that Msedge.vg added rogue policies to the browser, type chrome://policy into Chrome’s address bar. If you use another Chromium-based browser, replace chrome with that browser’s name. - 1.2A list of active policies will appear there. Entries with random characters or meaningless text in the Value column are the ones to watch, so write them down for later.
- 1.3Also return to the Extensions page to collect more details related to the hijacker policy. Turn on Developer Mode, copy the IDs of suspicious or unwanted extensions, and save them next to the rogue policy values.
- 1.4If you cannot reach the Extensions page, use this manual method instead. Open File Explorer and go to this folder:
C:\Users[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions - 1.5
Delete everything inside this folder to remove all installed extensions, including hidden ones that may still be causing problems. - 1.6
Other browsers have similar extension folders: - 1.7After that, return to the Extensions Manager page in your browser.
Remove Msedge.vg Policies
This step uses the values gathered earlier to find related hijacker policies in the Registry and remove them manually. Work carefully, because deleting the wrong registry entry can affect Windows. If you prefer the safer automatic route, the attached SpyHunter 5 tool is the recommended option for Msedge.vg.
2. Delete Msedge.vg Policies Through the Registry
- 2.1To start removing Msedge.vg through the Registry, open the Registry Editor by typing regedit into the Start Menu and pressing Enter.
- 2.2Once it opens, use Edit > Find to search for the rogue values you saved earlier. Delete each matching entry carefully, then repeat the search a few times so nothing connected to the hijacker remains.
- 2.3
If some entries refuse to be deleted, adjust their permissions. Right-click the blocked key, select Permissions > Advanced > Change, and grant access to “everyone.” - 2.4
Check both “Replace…” options in the previous window, then click Apply and OK.
This gives you the access needed to remove the rogue key.
Alternative Tools to Delete Msedge.vg Policies
If the Registry cleanup does not remove every policy linked to Msedge.vg, use the alternative methods below. This extra step is worth completing even if the manual search seemed successful, because some policy traces can remain outside the registry locations you checked first and keep the browser restricted.
3. Additional Ways to Remove Msedge.vg Policies
- 3.1
One more place to check for Msedge.vg policy leftovers is the Group Policy Editor, which manages local system policies. Search for edit group policy in the Start Menu, open it, and then go to Administrative Templates. - 3.2
Right-click Administrative Templates and choose Add/Remove Templates. Then remove any entries listed in the next window. - 3.3Another helpful option for Chrome users is the Chrome Policy Remover. Download it from the provided link.
- 3.4After downloading it, run it as an administrator. If Windows shows a warning, select More Info > Run Anyway and let the tool do its work.
Uninstall Msedge.vg From Chrome, Edge, and Other Browsers
This final browser cleanup should be done only after the hijacker policies have been removed, or the unwanted settings may return. The step below covers the main browser areas that Msedge.vg commonly changes, and all of them matter, so check each one instead of stopping after only the first visible fix.
4. How to Remove Msedge.vg From Your Browser
- 4.1Start by deleting any hijacker-related extensions linked to Msedge.vg from your browser. You should now be able to remove them without the earlier restrictions.
- 4.2
Then, clear your browsing data. Cached files and cookies often keep traces of unwanted activity. When clearing data, choose the All Time range so nothing is left behind. - 4.3
Next, go back to Privacy and Security settings and focus on Site Permissions. Make sure no suspicious sites still keep permissions for notifications or redirects. - 4.4
Do not forget the browser’s search engine settings. Replace any unfamiliar provider with a familiar choice such as Google or Bing. - 4.5Finally, check the On Startup and Appearance tabs for rogue URLs and remove them. Once this is done, the browser should be under your control again.
