Clicked on AdFly Link

[icynicalb]

Hello, today I clicked on an AdFly link and it showed an ad. Then I clicked the skip ad button and it took me to a website that said I won something and I had to download the software to get it, but I didn't download anything, I instead closed the tab. Is there any chance I might have gotten malware or viruses from Adfly?

Yep. Always a possibility. Run a scan or 3 anyways.
In future bear in mind that the area you click on is not always what it seems. So use task manager to shut down ads like that that pop-up, don't try the 'X' in the corner, it's part of the ad still and will redirect/download/etc.
