< 1 min read

If you accidentally click on a malicious link or pop-up advertisement, we recommend the following steps:


  1. Immediately close the window or tab displaying the content.
  2. Run an up-to-date version of anti-virus software in order to scan for any unwanted programs or malware.
  3. Change passwords for any accounts that were accessed during the time the malicious link was clicked.
  4. Check to see if any services or applications were changed or installed.
