Guys today I got fooled by a pop up ad it was asking me to tick a box to prove I am a human and I click it which it lead me to another link that ask me to download something but by then I already knew I made a mistake and I closed it.

I have already run Malwarebytes free scan & Avast free scan. Both says I have no virus. Wta you guys does this mean I am save or is there more things I should do? My laptop is a old window Vista laptop.

If you phobia, make sure windows update is latest. Both avast & mwb will be enough to make sure your pc is virus free.

Thanks for the fast reply.
Yeah my window check for updates daily but I think windows stop supporting Vista already?

Yes. But there was serious & critical updates that came up when spectre was detected. Win XP also had some updates.

Possible - if you have any malicious extensions installed or the browser suffers from clickjacking icon_idea.gif
