Clicked On A Link

[smurfchops]

Silly me in my spam folder then realised what l had done.  When l clicked on it, it said Server not found.  Deleted all my history and can't see anything suspicious this morning.  Does this mean all is ok?  Not technical so don't know what else to do.  Tia.

Should have said, I clicked on the link yesterday evening...

I guess the only other thing to do is to run some security software - I used Advanced SystemCare (free version).

Probably be OK.

Certainly run your antivirus software. Back that up by running a malware scanner too.

Can you tell me what to use and how to do it please?? 

[Old_Geezer]

If you are using windows just use microsoft defender to scan the pc.

 

I have (the free version of) malwarebytes downloaded. Scan with that too to check for malware that doesn't count as a virus.

At the right end of the taskbar - that is the strip at the bottom of the screen, do you see a symbol of a shield with a cross in it ?

If you click on it you can see a panel & one of the options is 'virus and threat protection' which you can click on to activate it. 

On the other hand it may say on it 'no action needed'.

Thanks all sorted now x
