Did I Just Accidentally Open a Sketchy Website?

Asked By CuriousCat123 On

I was trying to find out if my nail polish is magnetic and ended up clicking a link to a website called 'squper' that seemed dodgy. As soon as I noticed the URL wasn't right, I quickly backed out. My search history shows I clicked on the Google search and then got an error message from the site saying 'Database exception - yii/db/Exc...'. I've already run a scan with AVG, and nothing seems off. I even cleared my cookies. Is there anything else I need to do or keep an eye on? Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question, but I really appreciate any advice! Edit: Thanks for the support, I'm a bit of a worrywart when it comes to this stuff! ❤️

Don't stress too much! The error you saw just means the website was down, not that you got infected or anything. Just visiting a website isn't going to harm your device. As long as you don’t download suspicious stuff or enter personal info, you’ll be fine!

Yeah, clicking links is mostly safe. The issue is usually on the site’s end. Just keep your antivirus updated, and you should be okay. No need to panic!
