Hi guys,
Last night I clicked a link by accident from ESPN which led to another site. I was trying to close that ad but clicked on another link which popped up a fake virus scan saying I had malware. I opened the task manager and ended explorer and didn't click anything but immediately after my task manager was showing programs running in *32.
For instance, when I opened internet explorer, it showed iexplore.exe *32. There were 6-8 programs running in *32 so I immediately went to safe mode to investigate.
Is this something to be concerned about? I ran MalwareBytes and Windows Defender in safe mode last night and everything came up clean. I am using Window's 7 if that helps at all.
Right now I am not in front of my comptuer but can access it tonight to update the post with whatever else is needed. Thanks so much in advance for your help.
