A malicious website is a site that attempts to install malware (a general term for anything that will disrupt computer operation, gather your personal information or, in a worst-case scenario, gain total access to your machine) onto your device.
- There are billions of websites on the Internet, and unfortunately a great number of them are malicious in some way or another
- If you happen to load a malicious web page into your web browser, bad things can happen in a hurry due to malware and other nasties being downloading onto your computer.
- DO NOT click the “Back” button in your browser or interact with the current web page in any way.
- DO NOT call any phone number listed on a warning message. If you do you’ll be calling a scammer, not Microsoft or Apple.
- First, try shutting it down the usual way by clicking the Shutdown option on the Start menu.
- If you can’t get the computer to shut down that way, you can force it to shut down by pressing and holding the PC’s Power button.
- Turn the computer back on and allow it to boot back up into Windows
- Run the scans in this post to track down and remove any malware that the malicious web page might have downloaded onto your machine.
- Clear your browser’s cache to prevent the possibility of accidentally revisiting a cached version of the malicious page.
- Landing on a malicious web page can wreak havoc with your computer and cause you to lose your precious irreplaceable files.
