Hi all,
I have a recent event [like 30 mins ago] which is bothering me and I wanted to check it out with you. So my wife wanted to install Viber on my rig and in a hurry she clicked the first link possible link after using the string "Viber download". This link charged her 3 EUR and when she told me about it, I was puzzled as Viber is a free program. My question is: is the PC infected with malware showing false ads? or she just clicked the wrong thing. Here are the full details:
Browser used:
With Adblock extension. (I am not sure, why I put this one. Should change it to Ublock I guess)
Search engine: Google
Screenshot of how my search looks when I type: Viber download:
Antivirus on the PC: Panda Dome Free + MalwareBytes Free . Both didn't find anything when I scanned. There really isn't much installed on this PC. She has Zoom as she needs it for work (I know, I wouldn't choose it, but not her choice).
