Or you open mail you shouldn’t have.
Or you downloaded spyware from a malicious website.

But the nr 1 bait is really unsecure websites.
They hack it and when you enter, you automatically download malicious code. It sucks but that’s the way it is.
They alter the html code of the website and upload code o they’re own. You think you downloaded normal picture / software / whatever but instead you downloaded an altered version of it leaving you helpless against the hacker.
That can now remotely control your pc.

Edit : check for HTTPS. It means the site is as secure as possible and your data won’t be visible to others.

I have my VPN set up to automatically look if there is a https version of a website.

It helps.
Also good online safety package like bitdefender total security 2021. It also looks for malicious websites.

My vpn, cyber ghost has a safe browser of it’s own.
It is the only browser I use.

Vpn is the future for total protection.
