Maybe I should start a thread on how to protect yourself against shady weblinks then you could do it yourself. 
A few pointers ......
#1 If you don't already have a good anti virus program install one. There are two good free ones, AVG and AVAST.
#2 If you don't already have Malwarebytes get it now! It's hands down one of the best programs you can install and it's free. They do have a premium version if you want to go first class.
#3 If your anti virus tells you a site is dangerous don't click on it. Back away and try another site that isn't dangerous to your computer.
#4 If you don't already use add-ons for your browser Goolge what they do and how to install them. Then download uBlock Origin which will block nasty popups that want to advertise to you all the time. (You find Add-Ons under tools in your browser and all you need to do is search for 'uBlock Origin' and hit download. It won't burn up too many of your brain cells and it will protect you.) |
All are fine points I use anti-virus + Malware Bytes + NoScript + Sandboxing of (shady) downloaded stuff as well as the usual fire-walling, etc.
Having that info would be very helpful as a sticky (made that request in the correct forum).
I blocked several drive by Malware attempts from that last image search (and that was excluding the truly shady stuff from Russia and the Philippines). Do be careful out there.
Sorry for taking this thread off-topic....
