|
|
| So I was Google searching for some wallpapers on my laptop just now (using google chrome), and when I clicked on an image, I got the "Malware detected" sign. I quickly closed the window, and when I typed something into the search box on google this thing called "Google instant" scared the fucking daylights out of me. Is it legit, or did my computer just get malware?

www.google.com/instant/
Its legitimate, besides unless you agreed to download the software you aren't going to get malware from a picture

@Hitman, if you use IE any version you can get infected with malware by viewing an image online.
