I accidentally clicked a deep web link

This seems like pretty legit advice. OP, you should probably delete your computer. Maybe even set the hard drive on fire to be safe.

I was browsing reddit, and I accidentally clicked a link, thinking it was a normal link. This was just on Firefox without the browser. It came up as an error message, and I cancelled it right away. I'm just wondering how likely it is that I've now gotten a virus? And if I should get my computer checked?

Probably quite likely. As an IT specialist at Google. I've seen this happen a few times. And have needed to delete my computer. Good luck and all the best 😘

oh yes by all means, destroy your computer with a sledgehammer...
seriously deep web links have all kinds of illegal dark stuff as well as real bad viruses, you should do a clean install of your OS, or replace the hard drive. or always worry about whether you have a virus...
(something like this happened to me, and I nuked my pc hard drive with heavy cleaning tools, and then reinstalled the OS)

You can't get on the deepweb from using Firefox lmao. You would need to have Tor installed.

Yes pay 200 pounds to get your computer repaired because you are a lazy person and can't google something as simple as 'How to check if I have a virus'.I can't even believe if you are seriously this dumb or are that lazy to post this.

Thanks for everyone that has actually left helpful advice.

I'm not worried about getting on it just if I have any viruses from it.



I googled about this, but everyone was taking the absolute p**s, like some have in this thread, so I couldn't find anything. And I've no idea who's being serious. Tbf, I've had viruses before and not known about them. I'm more worried about spyware.


Lol, I know I have no knowledge of computers, so people don't need to joke about it.
