[QUOTE="Flyerr, post: 1515608, member: 301970"] Hi everyone, So being the dummy that I am, I clicked a fishy link and mindlessly ran java when prompted. Came to my senses very quickly and closed the page almost immediately, but doing a bit of research I'm almost sure the site was malicious/some sort of malware. I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.3 with JRE 1.6.0.43 and visited the site with Firefox 20. I haven't noticed anything wrong with my computer so far but am just wondering what my chances of infection are and if there's anything I should do or be looking out for. [/QUOTE]
