as it were, I wouldn't have, but it was in the FMHY wiki as a starred site, so I figured it was trusted
Never trust anything that's usually paid?
it wasn't actually netflix, it's literally a site like Fmovies but with the name susflix??
I didn't get malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited:
getfirefox.com
I have firefox as it were
That's interesting. Less than one minute after posting this, you said you used Brave.
indeed. I use both. I happen to have brave AND firefox on my laptop, as I've been making the transition to firefox the last few months. I'm entirely on firefox on my desktop, but I mainly use brave on my laptop. I used it to stream the aforementioned things on Saturday
You never visit this kind of sites without a minimum of an ad blocker installed. My advice :
- uBlock Origin with the recommended filters installed > https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists
- A Userscript Managers (I use Tampermonkey) with an anti ad-block killers scripts.
Instead of tempermonkey i use violentmonkey it's open source and does the same thing.
violentmonkey
It's still in beta, maybe will give it a try when a stable release is out.
Last stable release was v2.15.0, released last month.

I presently have both uBlockorigin and Brave's native adblockers at work, so not sure how it slipped through there. Definitely gonna look at the userscript manager though
dont do that if you are gonna play to use ublock origin stick to ublock origin as braves built in adblock can interfere with ublock origin which can make sites slower to load
This was a popup in browser only? Closing browser closed popup?
so the way it worked was that it would only open the popup when the browser was opened and it would open it in a separate window. I could close it out but upon restarting the browser the popup would come back up.
After this I performed a scan with windows defender, which found and quarantined two things it labeled as trojans, and then with malware bytes, which found a couple of other bits of malware that I can't remember how it was labeled. Seems like it's all cleaned up now
What type of media were you pirating?
movie and tv streaming and sports. I wonder if it wasn't one of the sports sites as it was a sports betting pop up, but the susflix was the only site that seemed to have anything bad according to the virustotal site.
flix should have seen that coming ngl.
probably but it was on the FMHY wiki with a star, so idk. Kinda weird that one of the best and most trusted pirated resources would have a malware site listed as one of the best options
