Windows 10: Windows Warning Error tab

Hello,

I clicked on a sponsored link from Facebook, and the page ended up being a "Windows Warning Error". I didn't go to the tab right away, I was looking at something else on Facebook and then I saw what was supposed to be a cute puppy video and instead the tab said Windows Warning Error. I clicked on the tab, and the audio started about this being an error warning from my Windows computer. I closed the tab right away. This was with the Chrome browser.

I cleared today's browser cache in Chrome. I scanned with Hitman Pro and it just found tracking cookies, which I removed. I scanned with Malwarebytes and it didn't find anything. I scanned with Windows Defender, it didn't find anything. I restarted the laptop. Everything appears to be fine. All browsers (Opera, Firefox, and Edge) are behaving properly. I have deleted the links (there were two listed in the history) from Chrome's history.

Even Virustotal doesn't show any issues with either of the urls that were listed in Chrome's history settings, but I know it was bad.

Is there anything else I need to do?

:)

 

Close all tabs warning disabled after update KB3116900

Unfortunately, I installed Windows Security Update KB3116900 on 12/18/15. Now, if I close IE11, all tabs are automatically closed without warning even though my IE settings are set to show the warning. Warning is not shown even after changing settings
and restarting my browser and Windows 10. So, it seems that Update KB3116900 has disabled the tabs warning.

 

Windows 10 keeps closing Internet explorer, mail and Word

Every time I open internet explorer, mail or word they are being closed down. Without warning or any error messages.

I'm having to open explorer with at least two tabs so I get the 'Do you want to close all tabs' warning box otherwise it just closes it down. Mail just closes without warning and word is the same! It is very frustrating as I am in the middle of my degree
and reply on my laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron 13

Please help

Thank you for your responses. *Smile

It wasn't an ad on the right side of the page, it was a "sponsored" item within the newsfeed. I usually don't make a habit of clicking on those, but once in a while there is something interesting there. They usually lead to articles or other facebook pages I might find interesting. The ads for buying stuff are on the right side of the page, and I don't click on those.

Since the horse has already left the barn, my question was more about whether or not I have done all that needs to be done to make sure that nothing nasty made its way into my computer. *Smile

 

It wouldn't hurt to run a scan with a couple malware scanners just to be sure nothing got in or is left over. You've already done scan with MBAM so that's good, but nothing get everything 100% of the time.

Agree with Borg. That should do it.
