This free Music app I downloaded came with lots of add on's including advertising. My computer slowed down to a snails pace due to being bombarded with adverts, shortly after my first use I uninstalled all the programmes associated with this app. Unfortunately the adverts reappeared when I next searched on line, Amazon, Ebay etc. Searchawsome is the advertising medium which was downloaded with the music app and they are very helpful in describing how to remove their ads. Removal works only for the session the computer is switched on. Next time you start up and search the internet it reinstalls, and you are back to square one. Very frustrating. My son is more savvy than me with the computer and his initial attempts to remove all traces failed. He installed Malwarebytes and it detected 94 threats and Quarantined 93. This malware got past windows defender by hiding in all sorts of places, creating folders, "D" Drive, it even managed to get Defender to ignore certain folders and files.

What are Microsoft going to do prevent this occurring again.

Far too technical for me, here is a copy of what Malwarebytes found.
