so on Monday i went to google i used To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. as you do BUT then came up "welcome to NGINX" after using the refresh button i got to google and googled nginx and it told me on one thread it was a virus but Wikipedia told me it was a "reverse proxy?????? WTF

after using click and clean (CHROME extension) running mal were bites and a full scan with comodo internet security nothing was found but the welcome NGINX was gone.

i however am paranoid about this as have never come across it before so an explanation and/or help would be so grate thanks guys and girls

First, try out duckduckgo.com it searches a few search engines anonymously and prevents google storing your search criteria.

Next, there a re a few programs you could thoroughly check your system with. malwarebytes is one, but people have their own preferences, and then a full virus scan.
