I have a bad habit of mindlessly checking emails and forums I frequent during a dull moment so my browser might have accessed it by mistake after my malwarebyte trial ended (no, I don't do warez, torrents, or illegal websites).
The website itself loads fine, but I reached to admin to see if it was one of their advertisers, and received no response yet.
I would like to be proactive: what can I do further protect myself? A scan doesn't come up with anything, what else can I do to put my mind at ease?
