Just a while ago I clicked the link attached to the message and got to a website and recognized it was fake without pressing anything, I was still scared out of my mind tho!

well you have to be aware and close it immediately before it loads and the phishing process is complete and calm down, second of all, restart your router, because it replaces your ip with another newer one, thus making the ip in the phisher useless and not usable, thus making his work against you undone and lastly to maintain your safety, for making sure no risks, use VPN. all of this totally ends that threat whatever it is.

Hello! I was looking at some google images when my anti-virus popped up and said it had blocked a malware. After checking the other images I have been looking at all of them had a "Phishing" warning on them. Now my question is that. Am I safe from this "malware" as my anti-virus blocked it and should I be afraid about this "Phising" thing. As I have been clicking around on a lot of different images and I didnt know it could be dangerous.

It opened another page to confirm if I was a bot but i closed it. When I went back on the website it showed my video there and a download button. When I clicked download it showed many pop-ups and stuff but I didn't click on any of them. My video I wanted to download did actually download to my gallery but im wondering if it also downloaded a virus or a malware with it. I also want to know if KZbin download websites are safe or not

You didn't answer whether if you click on a phishing email whether something can get installed on your system with no other actions by you. If that happens you are screwed. You only addressed case where something gets downloaded. Of course, you can just delete this download (perhaps after scanning it). But can a click on a phishing email install something on your computer????

These are usually super obvious and easy to catch if you have basic critical thinking skills and doesn't take much time. Received a text message with a link posing as usps wanting me to "reschedule delivery" for a failed delivery I never ordered. The url was strange, so I copied the order number and pasted it in the official usps tracking page and it said invalid. Also, the other links at the bottom of page were unclickable and when long pressing on the "reschedule delivery" button it didn't give me any options to open link or anything definitely obvious.

It is possible but not common anymore due to browser having option to ask where downloads are stored instead of automatically just downloading things. If your browser downloaded something that you can be sure didn't prompt or show download progress, your system is already infected. If you want bit more security, just create standard user for yourself, setup UAC (User Access control) settings to normal or high and use standard user account only. That way windows prompts about EVERYTHING crucial and only reason your system is infected, is because you make a mistake of allowing installing malware or some change to settings yourself. What that does, is preventing bypass of UAC and prompts password everytime UAC activates (instead of selecting "yes" whenever windows asks "are you sure you want to do this?" you have to type admin accounts password and click yes. It can't be bypassed at all unless you allow admin privileges to malware software).

I got an email that looked like it was from evri claiming that they failed to deliver a package. I clicked on the link it provided and I made me do one of those thing where I had to confirm my identity by clicking on images. When I did that, I just ended up on some strange games news website. Should I be concerned about this?

@@askleonotenboom I did and it didn't find anything apart from a dodgy app i downloaded ages ago. by the way this happened on my phone and the browser i used was duckduckgo which does block cookies so i dont know if that means I’m safe or not. I heard from some sources that sometimes scammers use these links to test your gullibility so they can tell others about you so they can send more scam emails to you. do you think this is likely?

Thanks for the Video There was a time when Tiktok had a Lot of Bot accounts (there are still some) with links on there profiles, when you enterned the link a Side opened in Tiktok that wanted you to creat an Account. A few weeks later It came out that These links can steal your data. After that Video im Sure that they dont have my data since i didnt creat an Account there.

Hey Leo! I clicked a bad Link and my antivirus on the site popped up in red and told me to not continue. The name of my antivirus is AVG. Did I fully connect to the website or did avg stop me from any harm? I instantly closed it even with the popup but still unsure if it effected me. And if closing it during my antivirus pop up would make me okay
