Did this give my computer a virus?!?

Question

On this website, i was really stupid and for some reason [the website was for fb.. so yea] this one guy probably had his account hacked, and there was a link saying "why people turned away from coke" or something like that.. so i pressed it and it lead me to a page saying something about how it's not the websites fault if there are any viruses onto the computer now, and that the link lead me to a fake link.. so did this give me a virus? or anything?!?! It's making me mad >:[ i dont want any virus killing sites, i'll probably just get it installed.. so do you think my computer caught a virus?!

Answer 1

Download PCTools Spyware Doctor (pack.google.com) It's from Google, so you know it's safe, and it should find anything you throw at it, I have been using it for a while and haven't had problems.

Answer 2

There's no way to tell if you have been infected by a virus just from that information, a virus is simply data that harms your computer, so it's really hard to tell if the website sent a program that caused any harm just by looking at a description. The only way to know if you caught a virus or not would be to scan your computer with an anti-virus software.

If you can't tell for sure, you can always run a virus scan. I've heard Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/) is a great program for detecting viruses but I haven't used it.



I also use avast! (http://www.avast.com/) anti-virus and I haven't had any issue with malware on my computer since installing it.



Both programs are free and legitimate. Hope that helps with your computer problems.
