If a link, persumably to a text is clicked on and it appears to take a longer time to download than expected, is that a sign that the link could be connected to malware?
Recently I received an e-mail, purportedly from the NYC Parking Violations Bureau, claiming that I still owned them for a fine. (There was a ticket and we had attended to it, but that was probably coincidental). I clinked on the link, but because it took so long to download I got bored/concerned and cancelled it. On further examination I discovered that the "ticket" was for a truck and I don't have a truck. There were probably other little "a bell should go off in your head" signs.
Thank you for responding
