When I was trying to download a mp3 from this site as seen on Norton safeweb: 

http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=listentoyoutube.com

 

I was not giving enough attention to notice and uncheck the box  - download a converter with the mp3

 

The download initiated and a small exe was downloaded, I was not fast enough to cancel it. The file seem to be disappeared after the download and become inaccessible. 

 

Then, thankfully, NIS checked the exe file and initiate the auto-protect feature. After a few minutes, Norton marked it as "suspicious.cloud.9" and the threat was removed.

 

My question is is there anything I need to be worried about this threat? I run a quick scan afterward but everything seem fine. My laptop also behaving normally now.

 

 

Attch here is the info from NIS 2014.

Hi,

 

Norton successfully blocked the .exe from running, and if a full system scan returns clean then you are ok.

Hope this helps,

 

Regards,

If you still doubts any infection, you may run Malware Bytes Anti Malware, using it free version (do not activate the trial pro)

I strongly suggest you to add some adblockers to your browser like adblocker, adblock plus to name a few. You may optionally use script blockers too…

Happy Easter and safe surfing…
