How to avoid malware in the future

 - If you haven't recently run a virus scanner, be wary of warnings about viruses or infected devices. The site might be trying to scare you into downloading unwanted software.
 - Only download files or visit sites that you know are secure. Learn more about healthy browsing.
 
If a popup about updating or downloading a program looks suspicious, don't click on it. Instead, go to the program's official website to download it.
