Every day, you use web browsers to surf the internet, read news, check emails, and more. When you open a web browser, you often see pop-ups, which are quite common, especially on unreliable websites. These sites are often for downloading cracked software or pirated/unofficial content. Typically, pop-ups are designed to contain advertisements or notifications, but they can also include links to download malware to steal user information or achieve other malicious purposes.
Experts from the American antivirus software company McAfee have warned users against interacting with pop-up windows. They advise against even clicking "deserve" to avoid the risk of being attacked. This means that ignoring these pop-up windows and not doing anything related to them is the safest option.
Users should be careful not to click on the four words "Ok, Agree, No, or Yes" to avoid the risk of being attacked by malware. (Illustrative image)
4 words you absolutely must remember to avoid.
There are four words you'll often encounter on unfamiliar websites: OK, Agree, No, or Yes. When you see these words, absolutely do not click on any pop-ups or notifications. Did you know that clicking on these words could trigger a hidden download of spyware without your knowledge? Simply click the X in the corner or close your browser completely if you feel unsafe.
How to safely close your browser
According to cybersecurity experts, closing a browser isn't simply a matter of clicking the X in the upper right corner of the screen. To completely close it, users must activate Task Manager > End Task to close the tabs on Windows. On a Mac, right-click the icon in the menu bar and select "Force quit".
Nowadays, high-tech crime is on the rise. Therefore, you need to be wary of these types of scams, as they can install a lot of malware to steal personal information, account information to steal money, etc. Spyware malware is extremely dangerous. Once installed on your phone, this malware will quickly collect data such as login names and passwords for online services and other personal information for malicious purposes, causing significant economic damage and affecting your privacy.
Besides avoiding the problem altogether, you should update your software regularly because when manufacturers release an updated version, they often include patches to fix vulnerabilities that spyware and malicious programs can exploit.
Remember, if you encounter those four words in your web browser, stay away and don't click on them.
