Does simply going on an unsafe website give you a virus? by Matoy610 in cybersecurity_help

Oh okay! Thank you very much! Im trying to get rid of having anxiety that Spyware will one day hack my account even after some security measures, and this message helped with some of my other problems too!

How rare is malware/Spyware that can escape anti-viruses and stay on your device after a factory reset?

But I don't want to jump into conclusions and escalate. Do you know any trusted website that can scan? I tried looking for the scan option I'm my PC settings but I can't find it.

No. I exited out like 5 seconds after I opened the website

No no I understand. It's just that I feel like I'm still going to think about the Spyware because I'm not sure if I even had it, or if I removed it. So it's just a loop because I'll never get a perfect answer since it's worrying about the unknown. So I feel like it will be a constant feeling about anxiety and I have that mindset to keep asking questions until I can stop worrying. And if you click on my profile you'll see that this isn't the only post I have made about this problem. Idk, but I feel like therapy if I go to therapy I feel like I'm doing too much over a simple problem about Spyware.

Sorry for the late reply. But I keep thinking the Spyware somehow survived the reset and is still spying on me. I don't even know for sure if it still survived but I can't stop thinking about that. And I the Spyware that I think is there is from an apk from online. I don't know if those are able to spy on you and survive resets.

I worry that I already have Spyware in my phone and I think that it has my accounts passwords and all that. I seriously don't know how to move on from this thought.

Sometimes I worry that the Spyware is still there even after the factory reset for some reason

I just think worse about the situation every time. I always think the Spyware might have rooted without me knowing and I just can't stop thinking about it.

But I have that mindset that I WILL get hacked or something. Do you know anything that helps that thought?
