So this morning I went on the website of a hotel I had stayed at in China and got a warning message in Safari shown in the thumbnail below. Should I be concerned about this? If so, what could I do? Before I could think straight, I did click past it as I didn't think this particular website could possibly have any kind of malware. (it was early and I hadn't had my coffee yet)
Also, I got an email from a friend of mine that often sends me photos and whatnot. The email must have been forwarded to me automatically by the program since my friend swears she didn't forward it. Turned out the supposed photos attached were links to download some kind of virus or malware called foto355. I know this because it immediately downloaded to my downloads folder. It's a Windows .exe file, so I'm not too concerned that it actually loaded anything onto my computer, but again, should I be concerned? Could it have forwarded to my address book even though the program couldn't run on my Mac?
Thanks.
