Your description sounds like it is OS-agnostic. It happened through a search and a browser.
However, I am kinda surprised that Linux would allow an automatic download, as Openurmind has already pointed out.
Might want to check your browser settings for downloading files.
“Might want to check your browser settings for downloading files.”
I can’t see Bob not already going through all the browser settings, he is good about checking that stuff. But this could be a new trick from a source. I would like to try and reproduce it in a sandbox if Bob remembers where and what it was? Or can find it again without clicking it.
But as a side note guys... I think I have finally found a good secure browser, (well as secure as anything can be). I have been testing LibreWolf and it looks like a keeper so far. I added NoScript to it and it seems to be doing well.
Yep, i beleive it was agnostic- Thanks, I will check that ouT in the settings. I will see if I can find the link again, and be sure to label it as possibly dangerous.
