  • What risk might I have accidentally exposed my computer to by viewing a pirated streaming site without AV blocking?

  • Thanks for the thorough reply! The download was a zipped folder with other files inside, my bad for not clarifying! I'm not sure how windows handles zip files compared to other file types but I'll definitely look into that. Nothing obvious has been installed or added to Firefox as far as I can tell and I definitely checked out my task manager when my device performance started acting up. I appreciate your insight!

  • That's good to know! I wasn't totally sure what kind of attack I would be at risk for and trying to describe the problem to a search engine in a few phrases was giving me scary results 😅 Thanks!

  • Thank you for that link! It was really helpful for my piece of mind to upload it and see the specific types of threats found in the file scripts! I'm currently parsing through some of the threats/phrases to make sure I would've needed to unzip the file for it to cause any harm but I really appreciate your help!

    I am familiar with the concept of xvideos and assume it was titled that to be perhaps enticing (? 😅) for someone to unzip it? Regardless thank you for the kind explanation!
