  1. Will this give me malware?


    I was on a website and there was a trailer for a series, but before that video there was an advertisement, I clicked on the screen where the advertisement was but it didn't redirect me anywhere to any other link or website. I clicked it again and it lead me to and website where it was telling me to make an account for something, but I didnt and i closed the page.I copied the url of that website the advertisement took me to and it said it was safe, so my question is could I get malware by just clicking on something and visiting a website? And is just visiting a website safe when the url checker

    :)

    Did our Epson printer get hacked?

    Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-bueno-search/

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........
