Is Adfly Safe or Not?

I downloaded Minecraft Texture Packs many years ago, because you were always redirected to Adfly, was the page a virus or could something only happen if you clicked on something?

Ca

What happens only when you click on the advertisement

El

Windows in the background often open. I would always be careful there. Unwanted software can be downloaded quickly.

Adfly is just a page with ADS, so advertisements and advertisements mean money.
most of the time people made money from it by turning on a free texture pack.

re

No no, no virus, it is better not to click on the advertisement.

Ok i didn't, so i'm sure or

I never did, the whole thing was a long time ago, just wanted to know

Adfly is a URL shortener with advertising function, which means that users can redirect their links and earn money because others who want to look at the link behind it first have to look at the advertising.

Adfly itself should already be sure whether the links behind it are safe depends on what was linked, but you should also be careful not to click the wrong download buttons in possibly dubious advertising.

In the case of Minecraft Texture Packs, Adfly is often used so that the artists who create the texture packs earn at least a little bit of it.

I never clicked anything on Adfly, so I'm / was I safe?

As long as you have not used the wrong download buttons in potentially dubious advertising, nothing should ever have happened.

The next button at Adfly that you have to use is in the top right corner.

However, it must also be said that anyone can log in to Adfly and create links, so it is not only up to Adfly itself but also to those who use it.
