How to clean after "1-877-695-4931 Warning! scam"
To be short, for my work related purposes I'm forced to use multiple browsers & proxies..
Today, I was using Maxthon browser with an US private proxy (paid for it).. suddenly I had this nasty virus msg popping up.. stopping me from performing any action .. when I tried to close it won't close & some audio was playing in the background.. After nearly 10 attempts got fed up of it & opened Task manager & closed all maxthon.exe processes manually..
As soon as maxthon.exe final process closed, the msg is lost as well & yeah.. I didn't dare to open the browser again
* actually I browsed on Private Window feature on maxthon, so I suppose no cookies were stored for my session...
Now the thing is... I'm worried if my system is infected, so I'm running a scan @ the moment on Avira as well as Malware Bytes to be sure..
what else can I do ? advice would be really appreciated :)
