Hey guys,

So basically I accidentally clicked on some dodgy website link, and immediately upon entering there was a pop up window that appeared for like 1 second before disappearing. I got paranoid, so I tried entering the same website on my PC (I have ESET) and it told me it terminated connection to: JS/Redirector.QKM Trojan.

Now I’m really scared if my phone could have gotten infected since it didn’t have any antivirus protection? I didn’t click on anything on the website itself and obviously didn’t download anything, but still, I heard of cases where websites can automatically download malware into your device and Android phones are not exactly immune.

What should I do? Factory reset? Could my files/passwords have gotten compromised? Am I just being paranoid for no reason? Thanks in advance…

    I’m no tech wizard, but I’d just clear my cookies/history from whatever web browser was being used. I’d think that as long as you didn’t enter any passwords/login into or personal info, then it’s ok
