So of course being paranoid about viruses and malware, something had to come up to confirm all of my fears.
Basically I went and checked my hotmail account. I didn't even open any emails or anything. All of a sudden my internet closes and a pop up box appears asking me if I want to install Antivirus 2009, saying some others things about protecting my computer, etc. I hit cancel on it, and it brought me to a site that started scanning something and there were "5 errors" found apparently already. I exited out of the window right away while it was still scanning.
The box that popped up had this website source at the top of it. >LINK Removed<.. I did go to the site, but did not download or enter anything.
I already had 2 antivirus programs in the background running and are almost done. Should I redo a scan? Do you think I have anything to worry about?
I have really been trying to be careful, I don't go to obscure websites or download a bunch of things or anything. I'm just paranoid I guess. But if you think that there could be a virus on my computer now, or malware, what should I do?
