    Can my Xbox Series S console get any virus from Microsoft edge?


    I was browsing the Microsoft edge browser on my Xbox Series S console and accidentally clicked on a random site that could very likely contain dangerous viruses or malicious code.

    I should note that I have never used applications such as: File Explorer and others.

    However, I still fear for the performance of my Xbox console or anything else that might happen to my Xbox console. Could you please help me? Is it possible to check my Xbox console for viruses and performance? Can I get any virus on my Xbox console? I can send more information if it is necessary and safe to post it here.

    :)

    Can my Xbox Series S console get any virus from Microsoft edge?

    Hey there

    Although there's no perfect system out there, the Xbox One consoles (Series X) included works using a different kind of operative system than your Windows or Phone does, so the usual type of viruses and malware that are across the web usually target to those before mentioned systems.
    So although you could download a file with a virus it most likely wouldn't affect your console, but for example, if you download it to an external drive and then plug it in to your PC, your PC could be at risk because of that.
    So having an updated antivirus in your mobile and PC, and being responsible on the websites you visit with your console is the best advice you can get.

    VIRUS

    Hi!

    For microsoft Edge to give your Xbox a virus it depends what website’s your using

    If you need anything else please respond

    Thanks-Jackson
    sorry, but that's not how it works.

    It's literally impossible for an Xbox One console to get a virus. And there is a good reason why. Put simply, the console can not execute code that has not been digitaly signed by Microsoft. The Operating system is in Lock down.

    In fact, you could visit the most Infected website In the world, and your console still wouldn't be in any danger.

    The Xbox cannot be infected by a virus, as for the website you mentioned, I don't know if it's safe to use, as I have never used it. If you are unsure yourself, then the best thing to do is leave the site alone.
