Hello,
Today was my first time running into the "Ammy Scam." Basically, someone calls and asks to download harmful computer sharing software. They asked me to open run through shortcut ctrl + r, then had me type www.goo.gl/399bx and hit enter. It opened a site in a browser, however, windows opened the run, save, or X window before loading the page so I just hung up and did not download. However, since I was redirected to the download site, I am not sure if I am safe. The page did not load since I did not click run. I scanned in safe mode with malwarebytes, SAS, defender, and avast(realtime shields only on for avast). It looked clean as in only PUP(a download I have not seen before dated the day before the phone call). In sum, does opening websites through "RUN" infect? It may seem obvious that my computer is fine, but I am only 16 and am not too educated. Thank you!
