Xbox series x can get malware from edge

demonphenominon · Feb 5, 2025

So recently my Internet has been shutting off and kicking my Xbox series x off the network and blocking connections When I pulled up my Internet app and looked at the security section that shows all my devices that are connected it said my Xbox had 27 malwares on it and my fire stick had 1 (the fire stick and boxes are in different rooms and do not interact).

The only thing I do on my Xbox is play games watch movies and anime/TV shows (no nsfw stuff on the Xbox) but I used edge for the streaming. I have looked on Reddit and Microsoft forums and all I see is boxes can't get viruses but here I am looking at the security screen.

they cannot get viruses, it's a secure system. I don't know what you're looking at, but you're gonna need something other than somethings saying there's potential suspicious activity from your web browsing, to prove that there is a virus on your Xbox

for starters a program on your PC has no ability to scan your Xbox

I get great speed when using a link via Edge browser , but bad pixilated screens when accessing from GamePass pc or via Xbox series X

Both the Xbox One OS and Edge on Xbox One are in lock down. You could go to the most nastiest virus, malware infested website on the web and your console still won't get a virus.

There is no possibility your console is corrupted by malware. Edge in fact is specifically crippled to prevent it. There is no way to check for malware on the console.

Do not reset your console for this purpose

You're fine, as was explained

You cannot mod Xbox games except through the game itself, and attempting to jailbreak your Xbox is a violation of TOS that can lead to account and console bans

Downloads are disabled on Edge to prevent malware

It is unlikely that this will change.
