How to stay protected against Command and Control (C2) servers in Edge

If malware or a malicious script slips into your browser, it will attempt to communicate in the background with a remote Command and Control (C2) server to receive instructions or exfiltrate your passwords and banking data.

Logical command and control communications attempt to bypass local Windows antivirus software. AdBlock Network severs them at the network perimeter level within Edge. The extension performs asynchronous, read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints to update the firewall, denying outbound connections via the Address layer.
