Ok Erm, so I have been warned that I got a "Porn Virus"
Ok so this was what happened. I was clicking into anime episode websites to watch an anime episode that had recently come out on my Mac. So once I got into the website, I tried clicking the play button then suddenly, a big window popped up and said that I have a Porn Virus. Then it told me to install Macbook Keeper to get rid of it. I didn't download the software because I am rather paranoid. Also, the weird thing is I never visited any porn sites ever on this computer. So what do I do? I am scared of potentially having this virus anyways. What do I do? Do I download Macbook Keeper? What do I do?

Just gonna retract that aggressive message now.

According to these websites, most people usually found this so-called "porn virus" fishy.

It's obviously a scam to download their crap software. Don't worry. If you are still paranoid, run a scan with your antivirus.

No need to get so hostile Maggot, dude probably thought Evo was making a joke because this subject does make for easy humor.



So Evo, this sounds pirating sites 101. Often they have ads that look like the video player but instead bring up pop-ups to try to trick you into downloading something. If you closed it off you should be good, but if you want you could download something easy like malwarebytes and run a scan on your computer. Who knows, you might have caught something using shady sites like that unintentionally.

Ok, I shut down the entire website and closed the window immediately as soon as I saw it. So am I good? I don't have a porn virus like they said I did?

If it advertises something, it's fake.
There is no virus, calm down.

Just clear your browser cache and move on.

Porn viruses aren't called porn viruses. lol


So from that, it's pretty safe to assume no. From other stuff you might have browsed? Doubtful, but maybe.

If you think it's copypasta, why don't you copy and paste that paragraph into a search engine and contribute constructively next time. (Fucking people I swear to Christ, actually you know what? Why am I bitching about this?)

As others have said; you're most likely safe, that sounds like a classical annoying popup to download crapware.

You should be in the clear, I don't think there's such thing as a 'porn virus' and it's more likely one of those dumb scams that attempts to get you to download one of those 'anti-scammers' that claims that you have harmful viruses in your computer but only removes those said viruses if you pay the full version.

And I got random people to add me on Skype to webcam me. No worries Exo, it's probably fake.

Go to your local creepy convenient shed, get a giant shiny strange unusual proffesonal killstreak homewhereker and smack the day lights out of the virus.

Anything that pops up and says you have a virus will try to give you a virus by convincing you to download their "antivirus".
