Hello all,
I had a rather odd thing happen today. I had a few songs open in YouTube so I could see for myself whether or not Saltatio Mortis really ripped off the German National Anthem or not. While one was playing in another tab, I was browsing through the articles here on Tom's and a download dialog box appeared. It wants to save what looks like a file with no extension to my computer. Yet, even without showing an extension, it recognizes that it's to be opened with Adobe Flash Player... I don't get that.
I have a few questions about this:
1) This isn't supposed to happen, right?
2) I've scanned with Avast and MalwareBytes (both free versions) and found 0 threats. Is that enough to say that I don't have a virus?
3) What could have caused this and is there a way for me to prevent it?
Thanks to all that offer their help,
Darren
