I’ve recently discovered custom content and my favourite creator uses adf*y, but since I’m young and new to the community I have no idea that adf*y can be bad and I trust this creator so they would never link me to anything that could harm my computer… right? Lets say I’m a 14 year old simmer who uses their parents computer to play the sims. Like I said, I’m pretty sure I got lucky because I don’t save those things but I’m going to offer a hypothetical situation which could be extremely likely in our community specifically
I can’t say for sure what it would have done if I hadn’t of deleted it, it seems to mostly be notification spam but the fact that it was trying to access my payment methods doesn’t sound all that great.Įven if having the payment methods allowed doesn’t do shit, I’ve had money stolen from me through an adf*y virus before (source - my tumblr) Luckily I don’t keep any of my payment details saved so I’m pretty sure I’m fine after deleting it and MalwareBytes or Windows Defender hasn’t detected anything.
(btw, I wouldn’t recommend clicking on any of these since malware/viruses are often hidden behind fake anti-malware ads/programs)
