Ok, so I went to this site, please do not go to it, it is a screamer, and I am afraid I got infected by it. if you want to analyze it from afar, it is called “anne.jpg”, just search on google but do not click on it. I clicked on it from some guy who shared a “jpg” link on a live stream, it scared the living daylights out of me, but that’s not why I am here.
I have read things about this site, a lot of things that frighten me, like flash malware, or worms, and rootkits. I went to WOT.com, and a lot of people say it is scary, yeah but also ALOT of people say it infects their Wacom services in aims of hijacking it, or even Skype sms hijacking. I have a new PC, my old one died from natural causes so I don’t want to mess this new one up! The site itself says it does not contain any kind: “This site will not harm your computer and doesn’t contains malware!” but I really don’t trust this. My internet was ungodly slow after that, for a few hours then it went back to normal. It seems suspicious, but not the first time my internet was slow, but what a coincidence.
I scanned with everything, superantimwalware, malwarebytes, and quick/full scan with avast twice, and found nothing. Am I being paranoid? Should I just be more careful next time, or should I take more steps to see if I did get some kind of infection? This site is also very infamous, and many people have visited it too, anything to worry about?
EDIT: OK so Sucuri.com says that this site is very malicious and has a redirect to malware, and other infections. But other sites like Zulu say it has no kind of infection, but has low ratings for obvious reasons. Can malware and other infections “hide” from malwarebytes and avast?
oh, and I was using firefox, and it didn’t even stop me from entering, nor did I get any avast pop-up like “threat has been detected” for other sites I stumble upon by google images or searches; and blocks the page, so was this site just a shock site with no virus? I have anxiety/ocd disorder, so I obsess and stress about this a lot
Ok, i followed that tutorial and here are the logs, is the information in the logs safe to post? And, what is the MBR.dat file, what does it do? is it safe to delete?
When can i delete the malwarebytes log, FRST, aswMBR, addition, and MBR.dat file?
Hahaha, alright, I was expecting it, and it scared the living shit out of me… It’s harmless, I (Or my system) have no ill effects other then my heart beating quicker.
Also, to answer your question regarding the (asw)MBR.DAT file, it is a backup of the Master Boot Record (MBR) in case something went sour.
Is it safe to delete that MBR.dat file including the other scan file, or should i just hang on to them? Master Boot Record sounds important, is it ok to delete it? Is it safe to have those files around?
