A page asks you to prove you're human, but not by clicking pictures.

2
00:00:06,389 --> 00:00:12,779
It tells you to press Windows and R, paste something, and press Enter.

3
00:00:12,779 --> 00:00:21,135
That pastes a command that installs malware. Microsoft says these attacks hit thousands of devices every day.

4
00:00:21,135 --> 00:00:26,542
On a Mac, the page tells you to paste into Terminal.

5
00:00:26,542 --> 00:00:35,881
Here is one free check that helps. Paste the page's instructions into Before You Paste a Command at UtilForge.org.

6
00:00:35,881 --> 00:00:40,796
Press Check this. It explains what the instructions would do.

7
00:00:40,796 --> 00:00:46,694
The rule is short: never paste a command a website gives you.

8
00:00:46,694 --> 00:00:53,576
Already ran it? Disconnect from the internet and get help from someone you trust.
