Google Chrome Malware Attack - Google Image Search Hijack

This just happened to me.... Does this mean my computer has malware now, or am I safe if I closed it quickly?

@oaklandrmoss18 I have no way of knowing. All I can say is that you might want to scan your computer with your updated antivirus just in case. Or maybe Malwarebytes or Hitmanpro might be a good idea.. Wish you luck!

@grantdb1 Just fully scanned my computer with Mcafee. Said I have no viruses but im still skeptical. Thanks anyways, Ill figure this out

Simple message for PC users,there's no browsers that can protect you 100% from any malware attack/infection.

@bob10308 In this particular case I think Firefox could have prevented the redirection if the option was set in settings for warn on redirect. But you are right, no browser is perfect!

@ratradio Maybe it was blocked or the redirect fixed because when I found it I reported the link to Google.
