I was playing FishVille and I accidentally clicked on an advertisement on the side... will I get a virus? - Sm:)e - 03-24-2014 04:18 PM
I was playing FishVille, and feeding my fishes, but then, my finger slipped on the trackpad on my laptop, and I clicked "Secret Crush Calculator". And it opened up a new tab and loaded. With all the hackers going on Facebook right now, I'm worried I'll be at risk. Will I get a virus?

Don't worry, those ads are controlled by Facebook and moderated by them to an extent. If you're concerned, then run a virus check, but personally, I wouldn't worry about it much.
Just keep your antivirus and firewall updated. It should keep you safe online. BTW I play Fishville too.
