Should I be worried?
When I was downloading stuff from savefromnet ,I think I accidentally clicked a pop up (or maybe something else happened),
When I went to download the video a message at the bottom of google chrome said something like "this file may harm your browsing experience so it has been blocked" "dismiss". so I accidentally clicked dismiss because, I thought dismiss ment cancel download, but it actually meant dismiss warning.
So when I clicked dismiss it download some kind of chrome"exe file" to my laptop instead of the video. I got scared and trashed and deleted the strange file from my laptop.(Then I carefully tried again to download the video like I always do and it worked perfectly and was a normal mp4 video file like always.)
(but I still wondered what that other file that I deleted was)
So then I went to chrome download history to see what I downloaded and I saw this in my download history.
("Rouge no dengon YM.exe
http://d26tid46ts3man.cloudfront.net/rttg-rfchzx5r/[QS1].exe
Rouge no dengon YM.exe may harm your browsing experience, so Chrome has blocked it.")
Insead of saying the title of the video with ".mp4" it said the title of the video with ".exe".
I tried to post a screenshot but "computer forums" wont let me. It wants me to put a url for a picture ,it wont let me upload my screen shot from my laptop?
ps.
Should i be worried? should I not login to check my bank account balance on this laptop any more? Can a malicious file log my key strokes or something and get into my bank account? I am paranoid now and am using my tablet to check my balance.
