Malware?

[gozzygozborn]

I miss-clicked on one of the suspicious ads, how can I tell if I have malware from it? I did not get one of those popups that ask me if I want to allow something to make changes, could i still be infected? I apologize if I sound like an idiot, this is not my specialty and I just want to make sure.

Did i get malware from reading this?

Did you download and run something from the shifty ad? Did you accept any prompts? If you answered yes to either, you're probably infected. If you answered no to both, you're fine.

No nothing popped up, the ad just went away which I thought was odd.

I have it but I was on internet explorer at the time (i know it sucks) because I need to use a site that doesn't work very well on chrome.

im gonna bet you probably didnt get anything, but just to be safe, it doesn't hurt to run MalwareBytes once in a while anyways.

Common ways to become infected:

Run a .exe program.

Open an infected PFD file.

Open an infected .doc file.

Allow java to run.

JSHooks.

 

If you ran nothing, you are most likely safe although jshooks are hard to detect and don't require anything to be ran.

Run a quick malwarebyte or eset online scanner scan just to be safe, no worries.
